Aye-aye, My Friend

Aye-aye, My Friend (友情ヨーソロー) is the eleventh episode of the ''Love Live! Sunshine!!'' anime series. It aired on September 10, 2016.

Summary
After Riko heads off for Tokyo for her recital, the others ask You to take her place alongside Chika in their dance routine. As the two practice together, Mari notices that You had been feeling jealous of Chika becoming close with Riko, encouraging her to be honest with Chika. Later, after You receives a call from Riko telling her how much Chika cares for her, Chika comes over, telling You to dance her own way rather than trying to imitate Riko. The next day, Riko performs her recital while Aqours perform at the preliminaries, both managing to perform well.
