It's been an eventful month for the entire fandom. Though I'm sure many of us might have wanted to freeze time or perhaps turn it back, it was without a doubt, the greatest ending they could have had. It's time to write the history books.

'''1. Love Live! The School Idol Movie at the Awards'''

Not going quietly after setting box-office records, the movie went on to be nominated at the 39th Japan Academy Awards as one of the five to receive an Outstanding Animation award, though it failed to receive the Most Outstanding Animation award. Nitta Emi was in attendance along with the movie's director to receive the award.

What they did manage to receive however, was the Animation Of The Year award at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2016! Nitta Emi was present to receive the award on behalf of the team.

'''2. Love Live! Wikia's newly formed sub-team begins releases''' Racing against the clock before the Final Live, we released subtitles for not one but two of the past live concerts: The subs are available on the pages, so do watch them if you haven't yet! To pre-empt any questions, we do intend to sub the Final Live's BD when it comes out, but can't say for sure as to our schedules until that time. Other concert's subs may also come in the next few months.
 * μ's Go→Go! LoveLive! 2015 ~Dream Sensation!~
 * μ's 3rd Anniversary Love Live!

'''3. Final LoveLive! and Birthday Giveaways'''

Umi's birthday was over in March, but you can see all the lovely submissions for our ocean maiden here. Meanwhile, our Maki Birthday Giveaway contest is now open!

We also held a guessing quiz based giveaway for the Final LoveLive!, and you can view the results here!

'''4. Pre-Final Live! Comments'''

In the days leading up to the Final Live, there was no shortage of interviews and comments being released!
 * Dengeki G's Magazine Cast Intervew
 * Letters from seiyuus to their characters
 * Messages from seiyuus to readers of Dengeki G's Magazine

'''5. New Love Live! Releases'''

There will still be new releases coming up, to round off the series properly! No dates announced yet but here's what we have confirmed:
 * Final Live Blu-ray/DVD Disc
 * Solo Live! Collection III
 * Complete Best BOX
 * Love Live! µ's Live Collection Blu-ray
 * Contains all animation PVs from 1st to 6th singles, and all dance scenes from Season 1 & 2, and the movie.

'''6. µ's Final LoveLive! ~µ'sic Forever♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪~'''

The Aqours subunit names have been decided to be CYaRon!, AZALEA and Guilty Kiss! Were they what you voted for? It seemed like only Guilty Kiss's group came anywhere close to almost having a different name!

'''8. Love Live! Sunshine!! manga'''

The Love Live! Sunshine!! manga began serialization this month, written by Kimino Sakurako, with illustrations by Oda Masaru and character designs from Murota Yuuhei. It's been fully translated by Tumblr User Instigare here.

9. Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM

The new single's cover has only just been released, and the single will be released on April 27! However, we will get to see snippets of the PV as early as April 9 9PM JST, so don't miss the Aqours live-stream with their 3rd years here!

That's all we have this month, so see you again in May!
