#so i think its kind of interesting that kaho (who doesnt have any kind of years long relationship=childhood friendship)

its interesting, love live is constantly trying to subvert itself. in school idol project honoka wants to save otonokizaka in part because her mother also went there; its family tradition and she wants yukiho to go too. sunshine of course subverts μ's story by near following the same path and yet aqours *fail* to save uranohoshi due to their circumstances. nijigasaki subverts this formula by not needing to save their school thats modern school and not in any danger at all. superstar subverts the formula really oddly imo, with yuigaoka having just *opened* and yet for some reason is also having money problems that might lead to its closure again (idk). i would think that with a newly opened school superstar would go for something brand new: there is no tradition to look back to, liella must forge their own path starting completely from nothing. but instead yuigaoka does actually have a history from before it was yuigaoka, so. now hasunosora has an Abundance of history. its heavily based upon tradition, and the idea of preservation for the future, passing down songs and outfits and making sure the thread from their senpai remains intact for their future kouhai, and consequently the school's emphasis upon tradition leads to clashes with modernity
