A New Me

A New Me (新しいわたし) is the fifth episode of the ''Love Live! School idol project Season 2'' anime series. It was aired on May 4, 2014. There is a new insert song entitled, "Love wing bell", sung by μ's, excluding Kousaka Honoka, Minami Kotori and Sonoda Umi.

Summary
While Honoka, Umi, and Kotori are on a field trip to Okinawa, Rin is assigned the temporary leader of μ's as they prepare for a fashion event over the weekend. Rin is not confident in herself and struggles with the responsibilities of a leader. She feels unfit to be the leader because she thinks she is not cute enough. Hanayo tells Maki about how Rin has a complex about her boyish features that people often teased her about during elementary school. Bad weather leaves Honoka's group stranded until the fashion event is over while Rin feels she is not cute enough for the fancy dress given to the center and passes the role on to Hanayo. The others can tell she is bothered about it. After Hanayo speaks with Honoka, the group arranges for Rin to wear the dress they feel fits her the most whilst everyone else wears groom outfits. The fashion event turns out to be a success and Rin ends up being more confident about expressing her femininity.
