Notes & Trivia

 * This is the 2nd motion feature in the Love Live! franchise.
 * Several of the locations in this Movie are based on real life locations:
 * The place where Aqours dance in the PV teaser is Piazza di Spagna, one of the most famous squares in Rome.
 * The decrepit school that the 2nd and 1st years transferred to are based on a Storage Facility building located at Numazu.
 * This film marks the first full appearance of Mari Ohara's mother.
 * The film features a different origin for Riko: In the manga, she is first transferred to Uranohoshi High School for the first time as her father went to work here. In this film, a younger Riko made an appearance during Chika and You's childhood flashback.
 * The camera that a woman wields is able to film an 8K resolution video, which is similar to the FDR-AX45 Professional Camcorder manufactured by Sony.
 * The Rhododendron Flowers seen in the Hop? Stop? Nonstop! segment is used as gifts for Mother's Day in Italian countries in real life. In that case, Mari standing beside the flowers while singing to represent her actual feelings to her mother, complete with the petals flying forward, solidifying the fact that Mari thanked her mother for her great care.

Continuity Notes

 * The shop that Aqours passed by (along with the same cat that the owner helds) is previously seen in Awaken the power.
 * The 2nd Years (Chika, Riko, and You) and the 1st Years (Ruby, Yoshiko, Hanamaru) are now transferred to a new school since Uranohoshi Girls' High School's closure in the final episode of the Second Season.

Errors & Goofs
''The errors below are from the trailers/special PVs before the movie's release. Further details will be added/updated many weeks later after the movie's premiere outside Japan.''


 * Continuity Errors: While the flashback in the beginning of the movie is considered as Chika and You's first meeting with Riko, none of them actually remembered each other after Riko transfers to Uranohoshi Girls high.
 * Official Bio Inconsistencies: Mari's official character introduction in the Love Live! Sunshine!! Fanbooks, the TV Anime Official Book (1st Season) and the flashback in Finding a Way to Shine reveals that her mother is Japanese, but the said character in her full appearance in this movie has blonde hair instead of brunette, and speaks in a heavy foreign accent, implying that she's a mixed blood like her daughter.
