Full Group Debut Key Visual
Hasunosora Girls' High School Idol Club (蓮ノ空女学院スクールアイドルクラブ) is a group of virtual idols under the Love Live! multimedia project. The group conducts their activities both as 3D VTubers and as the seiyuus (voice actresses).
Profile[]
Hasunosora Girls' High School (蓮ノ空女学院) is located in a remote area of Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, beside a lake with lotus flowers in bloom. At this high school, which was founded over 100 years ago, the traditions handed down from long ago still live on.
What has not changed and what is changing, what is leaving and what is being left behind. What will depart and what will be left behind. Nine girls live out their sparkling youth in the midst of these changes.
In the limited time they have, they struggle to bloom as best they can.
This is their "story that will come true together".[1]
