Love Live! (ラブライブ!) - START:DASH!!【Lilyhana】
"With your blazing heart, you can definitely clear the way to the future!" On Sunday, I played through the Granblue Fantasy: Aqours Sky High! Side story... and wow, I did not expect to feel so emotional?? The second I heard START:DASH!! play, I could feel the memories come rushing back, and my love for the series flow as it had when I was only 11 years old. When Chika witnessed the townspeople dance and sing to START:DASH!!, I tried so hard not to cry. And then the MAYOR telling the story of how μ’s had visited them, performed START:DASH!!, and introduced the concept of "school idols" to them in the process. My mouth was so wide open from the shock, and I had to conceal the tears behind my tablet. Long story short, that side story was one of the best in-game, and it made me an emotional mess. But after I heard this song so close and dear to my heart... I had to cover it. So I recorded last night, and... ended up singing a ton of Love Live songs, and cried afterwards. :') I felt so nostalgic, because I remembered first playing SIF on my parent's phone after dinner, back in January 2015. And continuing to keep at it for months. Until receiving a tablet for my 12th birthday, and having full access to the game. I remembered seeing μ’s reform, and sing this song in the anime, back when I first watched it mere weeks before discovering SIF. The scene had blew me away. It was magical. I honestly can't believe it. This marks 5 years of knowing this series, and that makes me so happy?? Love Live was such a huge part of my life. μ’s songs gave me courage, and taught me to sing in Japanese. They actually TAUGHT me to sing, which I was honestly embarrassed of doing, until I heard their music. I just have a lot of feelings towards Love Live. And even when I felt "I don't want this in my life anymore" that one time... oh my GOD, that was such a lie. I never want it leaving my life. Love Live!, stay with me forever. Sure, the series has changed since. But one thing hasn't, and that's my undying love for Love Live! and it's wonderful music. Thanks, Granblue Fantasy, for giving me those fond memories back. This ended up being really long and cheesy, but I really do love Love Live! with all my heart, and that won't ever change. ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡ μ’sic Forever! ~ Vocals, harmonies, mix: Lilyhana Composer, arranger: Sasaki Hiroshi Lyrics: Hata Aki Original singers: μ’s
