Promotion
Before the project was teased, a popularity poll started in SIF which asked the players to vote for their favorite N rarity members. Emma Verde took first place, Shizuku Osaka in second, and Kanata Konoe placed third. When the project was first teased, a preview image showed the silhouettes of the three girls with µ's leader Honoka Kosaka and Aqours leader Chika Takami. After revealing the three winners, six more silhouettes were added as new characters.

Promotion for the game has involved the first official cross-generational interactions of Love Live! characters and actresses under the franchise's banner. The announcement at Tokyo Game Show involved not only the announcement of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club's voice actresses but also Anju Inami (Chika) and surprise addition Emi Nitta (Honoka) as co-hosts – the first time Aqours and µ's actresses had shared a stage under the franchise banner. Later that same month during the Aqours 2nd Love Live! HAPPY PARTY TRAIN TOUR, two previews were released of all 18 combined members of Aqours and µ's addressing each other in chibi form going back and forth between the two groups.
