LoveLive! Series 9th Anniversary Love Live! Fest [720p h.265]

All credit for subtitles and original files go to Team ONIBE and their amazing team that brought the original TLs to us.

Team Onibe has graced us with their subbing of the 9th Anniversary Love Live Fest just in time for its spiritual successor, in a way, the Unit Koshien, this weekend! This was one of the final concerts in the before times, before COVID kicked everyone’s asses and shut down the world for a while. It was also the last time I got to see a delayed viewing in a movie theater, so it’s a bit of a nostalgia trip for me.

It’s hard to think about at this point, with six group lives and numerous other activities under their belt, but this was just the third live for Nijigasaki, and their first real exposure to the rest of the Love Live community that may not have known about them. Their first numbered live happened almost exactly one month prior to Fest, so each of them performed their first solo songs from the Tokimeki Runners CD, and this would have been their largest live crowd to date (and still might be one of their larger crowds, if not the largest).

Aqours shone as they always have, with the first live performance of Mitaiken Horizon, the usual Aqours energy and polish, and fearless leader Anchan reverting to her superfan self for a few brief moments during closing MCs, shortly after µ’s performed Snow Halation.

And yes! µ’s performed a medley of their songs! It was their live performance as 9 since their Final Live in 2016, and it was so, so nice to see them back together again. The medley, of course, was followed by Snow Halation, and that legendary orange glow that accompanies it.

This encode shrinks the original even more than the 1080p encode published along with this, cutting 20 GB off of the original download and ~8 GB off of the 1080p encode size. This will be the ideal version for those with even tighter bandwitdh caps or less drive space to work with.

This has been tested with the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 3/7/2024.

Please seed! Hit and runs only hurt others those who come after you.

This encode, while not 100% lossless, retains almost all of the original quality into a smaller container format, cutting 12.5 GB off of the original download. There is also a 720p version available for those with even tighter bandwitdh caps or less drive space to work with.

MTV Unplugged Presents: Love Live! Superstar!! Liella! [720p h.265]

All credit for subtitles and original files go to Team ONIBE and their amazing team that brought the original TLs to us.

We’re back again! Team ONIBE has subbed and released the blu-ray from Liella’s MTV Unplugged session. This one never got a stream overseas, so we were unable to experience this one as it happened. From the clips I’ve seen, though, the arrangements were very, very pleasing to listen to. Enjoy Liella as 5 perform some broken down versions of the songs they performed during their First LoveLive Tour!

The 720p version of this re-encode was able to lop off a bit more than the 1080p file, but only about a GB more. Still, it should help make these easier to store for those of you where disk space comes at a premium. A 12ish GB drop from the original is a lot, and for minimal loss of fidelity.

This has been tested with the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 10/30/23.

These re-encodes were able to lop off a lot of space requirement for these files, which should help make these easier to store for those of you where disk space comes at a premium. An 11 GB drop from the original is fairly sizeable, but from what I can tell, not much, if any, visual fidelity was lost in the process.

Love Live! Superstar!! Liella! 2nd LoveLive! ~What a Wonderful Dream!!~ (720p)

All credit for subtitles and original files go to Team ONIBE and their amazing team that brought the original TLs to us.

A new Onibe release means a new h.265 re-encode, and this time we’ve got Liella’s 2nd Live tour Blu-Ray. This was the final live where Liella performed as 5 members, and what a fun live it was. We got SunnyPa performances with the anime tie-in theme, full-group versions of the songs that Sayurin handled during their first tour, and the Yuigaoka Girls Band during the Osaka leg of the tour! This BD includes Day 2 from Yokohama (their first stop), and Day 2 from Osaka (their last stop) along with the behind the scenes content included with the performances.

The 1080p re-encode cut the original size by a clean 50%, resulting in a 24.4 GB total size vs the original’s 48.8 GB. This brings it down even further to 17.5 GB. With all re-encoded comes some level of degradation in quality, but considering the way this was able to be crunched down with minimal fidelity loss, I’m happy with the end result.

If you want to see all the performances without the polish (and aggressive vocal tuning) of the BD, I’ve also got the Yokohama, Nagoya, and Osaka stops ripped from the PIA streams. It’s a more raw experience, and it’s without subtitles, but it has its own value in my opinion. These are 1080p rips, but because of the source quality, they’re significantly smaller than the BD release as individual days.

This has been tested with the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 10/7/23.

Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club – NEXT SKY [720p h.265]

All credit for subtitles and original files go to Team ONIBE and their amazing team that brought the original TLs to us.

A little late to the party on this one, late is better than never!

This is the first OVA for Nijigasaki which follows up shortly after the end of the second season. New character, new stories, and a new song await you!

This encode lops a little more capacity off of the 1080p version, and clocks in at just under 40% smaller than the original ONIBE encode, albeit with a slight hit to visual quality, as I used the same preset I use for my media server. The quality is still very much acceptable, though, and should meet most people’s needs. There are also versions with hardsubs and versions with softsubs, so if you only want one of them, make sure you select only the file you’re looking to download in your client of choice.

This has been tested with the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 8/13/23.

Please seed, especially if you’ve chosen to download all three files! Hit and runs only hurt others those who come after you.

Liella! First LoveLive Tour ~Starlines~ [720p h.265]

All credit for subtitles and original files go to Team ONIBE and their amazing team that brought the original TLs to us.

We are back with re-encodes! It’s still insane to me that Liella got their start with their major lives not even a year and a half ago, and that when they started, were as solid as they were. And even though cheering was forbidden back then, the crowd was still able to make it very clear how much they backed Liella.

The 720p re-encode has managed to drop the file size a fair bit farther than the over 50% size decrease from the original release to my 1080p re-encode. That being said, the 720p rip is only ~6 GB smaller than the 1080p re-encode, but I know that for some people, that little bit makes all the difference

As with most of my 1080p re-encodes, I was able to lop quite a bit off of the original file size. With the original weighing in at a comparatively whopping 65 GB, this h.265 re-encode with my usual settings cuts that to just short of 26 GB, saving over 50% of the original space. Do keep in mind that this is a re-encode of a re-encode, so some small quality loss is expected, but shouldn’t be very noticeable at all.
