Love Live! Superstar!! Liella! Unit Live & Fan Meeting Tour: Music-Talk-Teamwork! Prime Adventure!! Final Chapter (1080p)

We have another Liella weekend in the books!

This weekend brings and end to the months long tour of live and fan meeting events for each of the Liella subunits, culminating in one final talk session and full group live.

We had plenty funny and cute moments during the talk sessions, including shadow play a bunch of fan-submitted challenges and prompts. The live portion itself was effectively its own full-length concert, with a set list length rivaling a normal numbered live. Also, what the heck is up with these wacky intermissions? They’re so silly but I love them!

Also, SkikiMei IRL. That is all.

Announcements hit after the girls left, but there wasn’t much new info beyond a full story PV and the announcement of an OP/ED event.

Playback has been tested on the latest versions of VLC Media Player, and MPV as of August 6, 2024.

Love Live! Superstar!! Liella! LIVE & FAN Meeting Tour ~Welcome to Yuigaoka!!~ [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.

Step back in time two years (can you believe it’s only been two years?) and introduce yourselves to the 2nd generation of Liella! This was the first live event to feature Kumachan, Yabuchan, Nonchan, and Emorin. The live section only featured Gen 1, but Gen 2 joined for the antics during the talk session, giving the LoveLive! community an opportunity to get to know the newest members better. A smaller release than usual for ONIBE, but a very welcome one (and one I haven’t seen yet).

This re-encode comes in about 1 GB less thanthe size of the 1080p re-encode at 3.1 GB, which itself is about 33% of the original size of the ONIBE release, but with minimal fidelity loss, weighing in at about 3.9 GB. For those of you that need even more storage space savings beyond the 1080p’s reduction in size, this should help you all out.

Playback has been tested on the latest versions of VLC Media Player, MPV, and Haruna as of 7/15/24.

Love Live! Series Presents Unit Koshien 2024 (1080p)

I know I always open with this, but what a weekend.

I really hope the LoveLive! Series does more cross-series events because this was so much fun. We got to see each group show off a selection of their own units’ songs, as well as participate in some pretty insane collabs?

We got to sneak peek the new Liella subunit songs on D1, had a typical DiverDiva moment on D2, got SAINT AQOURS SNOW for the first time in years (to a massive crowd reaction as well!!), and (my personal favorites) Nonfiction and Deep Resonance collabs during D2’s extra innings portion. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Everyone killed it, even despite a couple groups being shorthanded.

Playback has been tested on the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 3/12/24.

Love Live! Superstar!! Liella! 5th LoveLive! ~Twinkle Triangle~ (Tokyo Leg) (1080p)

Let’s GO confirmation of S3’s airing!

We have now arrived at the end of Liella’s 5th Live tour, putting an announcement-filled bow on top of it all. The setlist was more or less samesies as Fukuoka, so nothing really that notable to add to what I already said last time.

Of the information we did get, though, we now known the following:

  • New Liella subunit music dropping in late April
  • Season 3 broadcasts in October
  • That break in concerts I thought I was getting is no more. RIP my wallet if I want to keep up with these shows (I’ll probably have to pick and choose).

Playback has been tested on the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 2/12/24.

Love Live! Superstar!! Liella! 5th LoveLive! ~Twinkle Triangle~ (Fukuoka Leg) (1080p)

WOW!

The beauty of lives not tying into an anime season or movie is that you just don’t know what to expect. You could have bet me a thousand dollars to guess the song order for either of the days last night, and I would have lost every single time.

Eleven member versions of songs we’ve only heard with the original generation(s), subunit songs, songs we haven’t heard in a long time… we had everything, and it was amazing. I can’t wait to see what else we get/if they change anything for the Tokyo leg.

Playback has been tested on the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 1/22/24.

Ijigen Fes iDOLM@STER x Love Live! Uta Gassen [720p h.265]

100 songs.

Two historic franchises.

What. A. Weekend.

I’ve been a Love Live fan since the winding-down days of the original School Idol Project, but during that time, I picked up the iDOLM@STER series starting with 765Pro and later Cinderella Girls. So to say this weekend had me excited is a pretty severe understatement. Albeit I know far more of the Love Live! side than the iM@S side, but getting to hear both in one weekend, and collabs across the two franchises, was nothing short of amazing.

What isn’t amazing, though, is the audio quality Stagecrowd gave to us. After going through so many hoops to get these (a DRM-protected platform for international fans, guys? Really?), I managed to back up copies of both days. Importing them to Handbrake to encode them in the usual H.265 MKV container I use, I discovered that the two channels of audio were given a measly 63 Kbps worth of bandwidth. That results in smaller source files than I’m used to, but also significantly worse audio quality than I would prefer.

At least the 720p version is 6 GB smaller than the 1080p version, right?

Audio quality aside, these two nights are a must see for fans of either franchise. And I wouldn’t skip a night unless you’re really a solo oshi of one of the iM@S idols, as there were different iM@S cast members present for each night. And minus a few songs, the setlists were completely different between the two, meaning different solos, different group songs, and different collabs (and some legendary ones at that).

Playback for these files has been tested with the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 12/15/23.

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.
