Zettaiteki LOVER/Dazzling Game

In the middle stages of the final season of "Love Live! Superstar!!," the rivalry between Liella and TomaKanoTe momentarily paused when Tang Keke returned to her hometown of Shanghai. The girls were summoned to Shanghai to perform at the city's school idol festival. During this event, it was revealed that Keke's future after graduating from Yuigaoka Girls' High School had been determined. As a result, both teams performed in front of an enthusiastic Chinese audience. While this could signal the potential for a unified Liella, it's not quite definitive yet. Back at Yuigaoka, during the school's festival, the showdown sparks the beginning of a newly unified Liella.
