Y'all like Love Live? Course you do. How about those Nijigasaki girls? Yeah? Well, you're in luck. Big streaming event this weekend, namely Nijigasaki's second live. Coolest part is that it's going to be live.

The Nijigasaki High School Idol Club's 2nd Live is a two-day event formally titled "Brand New Story" for day 1 and "Back to the TOKIMEKI" for day 2 and will be held 9/12/20 and 9/13/20.

For Love Live this is a bit of a first. No audience, just the girls performing on stage by themselves. Half the point of a Love Live is being able to be in person, in that same venue, breathing that same air. I was lucky enough to take part in Aqours' 4th Live in Japan and I've seen all the US performances in Los Angeles. Thanks to COVID seeing things in person in Japan is a little difficult right now so this is where we're at. Love Live has been streaming various Aqours lives on YouTube but this is the first one that is new, with no delay.

You have three times available for viewing:

9/12/20 1230PM JST
9/12/20 1800PM JST
9/13/20 1600PM JST

You'll be able to watch the replay a week after the original time (so either 9/19/20 or 9/20/20).

Tickets are available at https://ib.eplus.jp/st-lovelivenijigasaki

Each ticket is 5130 yen (USD $48.33 at press time).

EDIT: well, that didn't go as planned. The streaming interface for foreigners still needed a Japanese e+ account which meant that no one could watch it. e+ needs to be authorized using a Japanese phone number so unless you worked ahead of time and got an account authorized for a previous lottery you're stuck out of luck.

Looks like they're working on it, and for anyone who was affected as part of the first performance's tickets they'll be refunded and given a future opportunity to watch the stream. Mighty nice of them.

EDIT 2: Everything's running now. Go for it. If day 1's second performance is too late in the day you might want to try day 2's. Good luck.
