Love Live! Superstar!! Anime Gives School Idol Unit a Name

love live! superstar!!

Love Live! Superstar!! is the next Love Live! series on the way, with Takahiko Kyogoku from the first Love Live! anime series at the helm. An online vote was recently held to help choose the new school idol unit’s name from a pool of 16 candidates, and the official Twitter account finally revealed the results.

The initial vote took place from August 17-31, and the winner is… Liella! The name combines lier—which refers to linking/connecting and comes from a character in the school name Yuigaoka—and brillante, or inner brilliance. Here’s what the original creator of the name, Tora, had to say about it:

“They may still be small stars, but, by connecting and tying the brilliance and the stars within each of them altogether, they will become superstars one day! This is the name filled with such feeling.”

Here are all the candidates:

Yuine
LINKS
Osing
meiris
ff (fa-fa)
seIze
Linkle
綺羅星 (Kiraboshi)
Liella!
Forte
Oriesta
55’stars
Luminous
Spica*
Yunity
Xtreme

We’ll have to wait for more info, including the broadcast schedule for the new series. Check out the earlier promo below.
