Chronology
A-Rise made their first appearance in episode 1, when they were performing on a screen in front of the students of UTX, a high school getting a lot of students because of them. Kousaka Honoka was visiting the school because her sister was planning to apply to UTX instead of Otonokizaka. Not knowing who they were, Honoka asked the girl next to her (Yazawa Niko) if they were celebrities. Shocked, Niko explains to her that they are the school idol group A-Rise. After watching them perform their song for a little bit, Honoka came up with an idea to save her school: form a school idol group.

In later episodes, many advertisements that feature A-Rise can be seen around town, advertising the upcoming Love Live! event.

In episode 12, it is revealed that A-Rise is the #1 school idol group. Near the end of the episode, Honoka sadly watches A-Rise perform the song Private Wars.

They also appear on episode 13 watching μ's performance on the internet.
