Snow halation

"Everyone's beloved song! It also became an important song of Season 2 of the anime."

- Nitta Emi

Snow halation is μ’s second single. It was released on December 22, 2010 on both a CD and a DVD, in order to celebrate the upcoming Christmas Day. It is also included in all of μ's solo albums and μ's Best Album Best Live! Collection. It was also used as an ending theme for episode 9 of ''Love Live! School idol project Season 2''.

The song is written by Hata Aki, composed by Yamada Takahiro, and arranged by Nakanishi Ryousuke.

As one of the first few singles, its song centers were decided by voting. Kousaka Honoka came in first in the poll, followed by Sonoda Umi and then Toujou Nozomi. The three of them form a triangle within the choreography, which is why Nozomi takes the center-back position and can be mistaken as the song center. The anime capitalized on this by making it a song focused on Nozomi within the storyline.

It is arguably the most famous song within the Love Live! discography, and the only one within the fandom to have a consensus on the cyalume colors to be used at concerts during the song: White for most of its duration, until the start of the final chorus whereupon everyone switches to orange, an effect meant to mimic the visuals in the original PV video.

This trend had its roots ever since the very first live concert in 2012, but was not in full effect until the second in 2013. From that point onward it's been faithfully followed at concerts, live-screenings and conventions of all sorts. A more detailed explanation of this trend can be found here.

初めて出会った時から 予感に騒ぐ心のMelody とめられないとまらない　な・ぜ

届けて 切なさには名前をつけようか "Snow halation" 想いが重なるまで待てずに 悔しいけど好きって純情 微熱の中　ためらってもダメだね 飛び込む勇気に賛成 まもなくStart!!

音もなく　気配もなく 静かに運命は変わる これからの未来に胸の　鼓動が早くなる

例えば困った時には すぐ駆けつけて抱きしめたくて どこにいてもどこでも　Fly high

急いで いつの間にか大きくなりすぎた "True emotion" 夢だけみてる様じゃつらいよ 恋人は君って言いたい 優しい目が　とまどってるイヤだよ このまま一気に愛情 あずけて Please!!

届けて 切なさには名前をつけようか "Snow halation" 想いが重なるまで待てずに 悔しいけど好きって純情 微熱の中　ためらってもダメだね 飛び込む勇気に賛成 まもなくStart!! English= It’s strange, this feeling in my chest It's almost as though it came fluttering down from the sky The special color of this season fills me with excitement

From the moment we met, The melody of my heart has been ringing with premonitions It can’t be stopped, it won’t be stopped -- why?

Ring out Shall I name this heart-rending pain "Snow halation"? I can’t wait for our feelings to resonate; it’s frustrating, but it’s a pure-hearted devotion called love Even in this mild fever, I can’t hesitate I'll accept the courage to dive in; it's about to start!

Without a sound, without a sign Our fate changes silently At the thought of the coming future, my heartbeat quickens

When you feel troubled I’ll come running right away, wanting to hug you tightly, Wherever you are, no matter where, I'll Fly high!

Hurry up Before I knew it, my true emotions grew too large to contain It's painful to never do more than dream of it I want you to be mine! I don't want to be bewildered by your gentle eyes Accept all my love for you as it is, Please!

Ring out Shall I name this heart-rending pain "Snow halation"? I can’t wait for our feelings to resonate; It’s frustrating, but it’s a pure-hearted devotion called love Even in this mild fever, I can’t hesitate I'll accept the courage to dive in; it's about to start!
