Guilty Kiss corset dresses - these aren’t from any particular song, and as you can see they’re worn on top of the Next Sparkling outfits, likely for ease of quick change.
Ermahgerd I didn’t think Thrilling One Way could get any better

Then they went and pulled this
Still not as blatantly suggestive as Shoujo Ijo no Koi ga Shitai. But still. Ermahgerd
Aqours 5th LoveLive! ~Next SPARKLING!!~ Pamphlet: Kobayashi Aika
The smiles of Yohane and her little demons will come together to form a rainbow!
These jet-black magic wings will turn pure white with Aqours’ miracle in our sights!
Q1. The name of this live is “Next SPARKLING!!”. What does “SPARKLING” mean?
A1. To “burst with excitement”. In other words, it has the feeling of leaping forward. So “Next SPARKLING!!” is a song about reaching out for our next radiance, which makes it a perfect song for us.
Q2. Tell us what you really think about Saint Snow!
A2. Through the movie, we got to deepen our bonds as Saint Aqours Snow. We’re sometimes rivals, and sometimes friends. I hope that from now on, we can bring even more excitement to Love Live! Sunshine!! together.
Q3. Were there any songs in the movie that left an impression on you?
A3. Brightest Melody. Especially the line that goes “There’s something amazing there”; I really love Yohane’s expression there! I feel like she has the look on her face because she’s been looking from the bottom of her heart for some excitement, and found that with all of her friends. It makes me want to say “Thank you, Aqours!”, as if I was her parent. (laughs)
Q4. In the vein of “Hop? Stop? Nonstop!”, tell us about something exciting that’s happened to you recently!
A4. It’s not really recent, but I’m excited all the time! Whenever I listen to Aqours’ songs, I get really excited. When people tell me their thoughts on the movie, I get really excited. And when we’re doing dance rehearsals for the live, and I think about the meaning that goes behind all of the choreography, I get really excited!
Q5. Do you have any special thoughts or memories about the stage events for the movie?
A5. The stage was really close to the seats, so I felt like I was really able to speak directly to everyone about the movie. Being able to share a common interest with people made it really fun. And getting to eat a lot of popcorn made me really happy. (laughs)
Q6. Did any scenes from the movie leave an impression on you?
A6. The first thing that came to mind when I read this question was when there were so many girls in school idol costumes singing and dancing in “Bokura no Hashitte kita Michi wa...” in the streets of Numazu. I really just can’t forget that opening scene. It’s a scene that really makes you feel the warmth of Numazu, and I love it.
Q7. Were there any scenes where the character you play really shines?
A7. My favorite scene for Yohane was when Mari’s mother was playing the piano, and chocolate coins started falling from the ceiling. Just when you think they’ve all fallen, one last one falls and hits Yohane in the head with a little “thunk”. That’s my fallen angel.
Q8. Are there any places that you like in Numazu, or places that you want to go?
A8. Dollhouse Kimura!! It’s the store that Yohane goes to in the HAPPY PARTY TRAIN PV, and they dance in front of it in the movie, but I’ve never gone. I really want to go there one day!
Q9. Three things that you have to take with you on a trip!
A9.
1. Microphone 2. Charger 3. Heat pads
Q10. Is there anything you want to change about yourself, or maybe something that you’ll never change about yourself?
A10. Rather than something I want to change now, it’s something that I want to change going forward. I want to bring Love Live! to even more people that don’t know about it. I want even more people to know about this wonderful story. As for something I wouldn’t change, it would be the bonds that I have with everyone. I want these to continue on forever.
sooo I’m at the aqours next sparkling live viewing show!! I didn’t come in cosplay, but I did wear my mari shirt and brought my buttons. I’m in good company. still about 25 minutes until showtime though! ✨💜
