It's fun to joke about Honoka "ruining" Kotori's dreams.
But something to keep in mind about Ikizulive is that it's most likely written with School idol diaries in mind. The fashion designer storyline is anime-only.
SID is Sakurako Kimino's thing after all. And Ikizulive too.
In previous Love Live! anime, Kotori actually appeared with her hair down like this before.
Getting to see an adult Kotori in Ikizu Live! feels so comforting yet deeply poignant.
It makes me reflect on how the fans who followed μ's back then have all grown up—some even entering middle age—while the characters grew up right alongside us. That bittersweet feeling brought on by the passing years just wells up inside me.
