Chapter 01: Behind The Curtains
Yeah, No Credit... What so ever.
"Just wait for the signal to turn green and then you're all clear" a Love-Live Official said
The Official left the sound booth, leaving Him and his band inside. He walked a few steps to the clear glass window in front of them. He could make out tons of fans supporting their Idol Groups, in this grandest of stages 'Love Live!'. He placed his hand on the window.
'Can't believe they actually made it this far' He thought
He turned to face the band he gathered on a short notice. They all seemed ready to play the piece Maki and Umi composed. Bass, Piano, Drums, and Him as the guitarist. Inside this sound booth each member was awaiting the red light to turn green.
"I bet they're prepping up right now" He thought
The nine of them stood backstage.
"There's so many people watching" Kotori said
"It make you look forward to the performance, right? Umi said
Both Honoka and Kotori looked at Umi.
"I can't get enough of it anymore, the enjoyment of performing in front of so many people" Umi said
Kotori smiled at Umi
"Is this alright? Does it look cute?" Hanayo asked checking her outfit
"It fine! You look really cute! Rin assured Hanayo
"How about Rin?" Rin asked as she spun around
"Rin–Chan, you look really cute!" Hanayo said with a smile
"I'm going all out and stand out today. So you better watch out." Nozomi said
"Nozomi-Chan, you will?" Honoka asked
"Well then, I'll be sure to stand out even more, enough to be the center. Eli announced
"It's our final stage, after all" Eli said
"Interesting" Nozomi replied
"They're really fired up. Rin said
Rin looked at Maki "Maki-Chan, make sure you don't lose to them!"
"I know that. Maki replied
"You might just be third years, but if you just sit around we'll overtake you. Maki said
Maki looked at Nico "Got that, Miss Universe's Number-One-Idol?"
Nico let out a chuckle "Well isn't that interesting, I wonder if you'll be able to handle me when I get serious. You better prepare yourself!"
"Alright, it's almost time." Umi said
"Yeah. Honaka replied
She paused for a moment
"Everyone, let's bring it all together. All our emotions, our wishes, and our gratitude... Let's bring it with us as we sing" Honaka said
They formed a circle through their fingers
"What's the matter?" Umi asked
"It's just, I don't know what I should be saying right now." Honoka said
"What do you mean?" Nico asked
"I mean, there's really nothing left to say. Honoka said
"Everything's already been said.
"Our feelings are already the same.
"Everyone's emotions, and everyone's thoughts, are already the same.
"Isn't that right?"
"Yeah, you're right" Eli replied
Honoka took a deep breath and smiled
"U's Last Live, Let's break down the walls in our way!
"One!" Honoka said
"Two!" Kotori said
"Three!" Umi said
"Four!" Maki said
"Five!" Rin said
"Six!" Hanayo said
"Seven!" Nico said
"Eight!" Nozomi said
"Nine!" Eli said
They all said in unison "U's... Music... Start!"
He saw them appear on stage, with a single floodlight pointed at them. He held his electric guitar and took a deep breath.
"Alright! Let's do this!" He shouted
"Yeah!" They replied in unison
The red light immediately turned to green.
"Hit it!" He said
Each one of the member's of the U's opened their eyes as they heard the music being played. Sounds of the piano could be heard although out the stage.
He started playing an amazing lick on the guitar as the girls started their performance.

English Lyrics
What kind of future awaits us? While wondering that
(I have been) We all have been slowly fumbling along our way
Encouraging one another, and even when we clashed
(We knew) We shared the same dream
What we aim for is that sun
To capture that great brilliance
We're getting closer to fulfilling our wishes
Let's sing our Sensations within the light!
The miracle is right here and now
Everyone's feelings led them to this place
That's why we'll enjoy this moment
The story that we bring to life together, the Story of our dreams
"It's dazzling!" "It's great!" "Come over here!"
"I'm happy!" "It's great!" "Come closer!"
Our hearts become one... and sparkle!
Once again today, I am grateful for all the support
(With you) I want to talk with all of you, that's the peak of joy
It can't be expressed with words alone; What should we do?
(At times like these) Let's sing, we have to sing
One by one we leap forward
To capture this moment that won't come twice
Do you still remember the wishes you once made?
Let's dance our Sensations within the light!
With you I've made it here, up to this point
Everyone's feelings reached us, thank you
Finally we made it here together, so let's enjoy ourselves
The story that we bring to life together, our earnest Story
"It's dazzling!" "It's great!" "Over here!"
"I'm happy!" "It's great!" "Come closer!"
Our unending dream is
Sparkling... Sparkling!
Hi! Hi! Our dream is never ending!
One by one we leap forward
To capture this moment that won't come twice
Do you still remember the wishes you once made?
Let's dance our Sensations within the light!
With you I've made it here, up to this point
Everyone's feelings reached us, thank you
Finally we made it here together, so let's enjoy ourselves
The story that we bring to life together, our earnest Story
The miracle is right here and now
Everyone's feelings led them to this place
That's why we'll enjoy this moment
The story that we bring to life together, the Story of our dreams
"It's dazzling!" "It's great!" "Come over here!"
"I'm happy!" "It's great!" "Come closer!"
Our hearts become one... and sparkle!
The confetti was fired as the they ended their performance. The crowd screamed in excitement, an amazing performance was delivered. The girls stood in a single file after the performance.
"Damn, I can still feel the adrenaline pumping within me!" He thought
His sweat traveled from his forehead down to his chest, he held the neck of his guitar with his left hand and turned to face his band. Same as him, sweating and smiling; ready for another performance. They all looked at U's from the glass window.
"I wanna do that again" He thought
"Thank You Very Much!" Honoka addressed the crowd
Nozomi stepped forward "Toujou Nozomi!"
Maki stepped forward "Nishiniko Maki!"
Umi stepped forward "Sonada Umi!"
Rin stepped forward "Hoshizora Rin!"
Nico stepped forward "Yazawa Nico!"
Hanayo stepped forward "Koizumi Hanayo!"
Eli stepped forward "Ayase Eli!"
Kotori stepped forward "Minami Kotori!"
Honoka stepped forward "Kousaka Honoka!"
"Otonokizaka Academy School Idols, U's!" Honoka said
Simultaneously all nine of them held hands bowed "Thank You Very much!"
The crowd cheered for them.
The girls walked backstage.
The green light turned to red
"I guess it's over huh" He thought
A Love-Live Official came inside the sound booth. "Be on Standby"
"Huh?" He asked
Backstage the girls held each other, hugged each other, and cried tears of joy. Each and everyone of them knew that they gave it their all.
Out of nowhere the crowd shouted
"ENCORE!
"ENCORE!
"ENCORE!
"ENCORE!"
The girls were taken aback and stared at the crowd from a window.
Honoka heard in her head
"No one's probably going to come to watch us perform,
and No one's probably going to cheer for us either,
but I still want to try my best. I just want us to try our best so'll reach to them,
so that they know we're here. I want these feelings to reach them!"
Honoka's body shook and she felt the tears build up in her eyes
"ENCORE!
"ENCORE!
"ENCORE!
"ENCORE!"
Each band member stared at the crowd through the glass window.
"An Encore" That thought went through each of their heads.
"Wait for the light to turn green again" The Love-Live Official said
The girls back on stage and held hands, ready to perform once more.
The light turned green, once more
"Hit it!" He said
Music boomed throughout the stage and the curtains opened

English Lyrics
Honest feelings tie us all together
Even when we're being serious we're clumsy, Our hearts clash
Even so I want to achieve big dreams
It's right here, It's only just begun
(I know)
It's not just fun and games, We have to be tested
(I know)
Even though such pain lies in the future
(I'll go)
When we come together we get stronger
(I'm sure) We'll continue to change (We'll be stars!)
If each of us can put our hearts into the things we love
A new (place) will be our goal
If we trust in the things each of us loves
We can (embrace) the excitation and move forward
(Leave your fears behind) With a brilliant smile
(Fly, fly high) We live in the present
Instead of just thinking about it let's all run together
Tomorrow is incomplete, We can't predict it
It'll just happen, A miracle is inevitable
This is just the start of everything
(I know)
For sure in times of sadness let's look up
(I know)
The world will become more magnificent
(I want it)
I want to carry the radiance in my chest
(Firmly) So let's compete together (We can fly!)
I feel there's no time to look back
I'll spread (With you) Everywhere
I know there's no time to look back
We'll build anticipation for the stimulus
(Farewell my weak self) Don't put it out with a smile
(Fly, fly high) With us amidst the present
For our dreams to grow (We have to be tested)
The fire in my chest overtakes (my temperature)
It's so hot (it's too hot) so it won't stop
A risky bet? Let's go win!
If each of us can put our hearts into the things we love
A new (place) will be our goal
If we trust in the things each of us loves
We can (embrace) the excitation and move forward
(Leave your fears behind) With a brilliant smile
(Fly, fly high) With us through the present
(Farewell my weak self) Don't put it out with a smile
(Fly, fly high) We live in the present
We've waited to shine
He held the last note as the crowd cheered and the girls held their pose. The music ended and the U's won the Love Live compettion.
He held his electric guitar close and panted from exhaustion.
"It's a long story, but please listen. Listen to the unbelievable story of me helping a group of girls save their school. I didn't ask to be in this, I was so focused on my works, yet here I am. In the sound booth of Love Live! I may get no credit for any performance, but that dosen't matter. I just love playing music, I don't have to be in the lime light or anything. But I have them to thank."
Ring his phone went, He got his phone out of his pocket and it said he has two new messages. He pressed several buttons to acess his inbox.
Ayase Eli – UNREAD
Toujo Nozomi – UNREAD
Dad – READ
He first read Nozomi's message and read Eli's message after. He felt the other band members breathing down his neck.
"Hoh Hoh" The Drummer muttured under his breath
"I see, Toujo Nozomi and Ayase Eli" The Bassist said
"You lucky son of a gun" The pianist said
Startled, He jumpped from his spot and face his band members. Each one of them had a big grin one their face.
"What?" He asked
"Ayato, You player!" They all said in Unision.
