Love Live!"</em> (&ldquo;<em>The story of my dreams coming true. Hello!!! Love Live!"</em>).</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Original work is once again credited to Hajime Yatate, the collective pseudonym for the staff of Sunrise. Original concept is still credited to Kimino Sakurako (<em>Strawberry Panic</em>). Takahiko Kyougoku (original <em>Love Live! School idol project</em> series and film) returns as director alongside Jukki Hanada, writer for <em>Love Live! School idol project </em>and <em>Love Live! Sunshine!!</em>.

Yoshiaki Fujisawa also returns as music composer.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The new project was first announced on January 19, during the second day of the </span><em>Love Live! Fes</em> event which celebrated the franchise&rsquo;s nine successful years in the business. First generation group &mu;'s (much to the excitement of OG <em>Love Live! </em>fans) shared the stage with other groups from the franchise: <em>Love Live! Sunshine!!</em>&rsquo;s Aqours and Saint Snow, and smartphone game <em>Love Live! School Idol Festival</em>&rsquo;s Nijigasaki Academy&rsquo;s Idol Appreciation Club. The concert was held over two days at the Saitama Super Arena.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>Love Live!</em> is a multimedia project co-developed by ASCII Media Works&rsquo; Dengeki G&rsquo;s Magazine, music label Lantis, and animation studio Sunrise. The project has encompassed several media including anime, manga, live concerts, and smartphone games. It was launched in 2010 with &mu;'s as its faces. The project was adapted into an anime series in 2013, with a second season following in 2014. The project and the group &mu;'s proved to be a massive commercial success, topping CD sales in Japan and selling out concerts in venues as big as Tokyo Dome.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Source: <a href="https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2020-06-30/sunrise-registers-love-live-superstar-trademark/.161231">Anime News Network</a></p>
