– Tokyo’s cherry blossoms were in full bloom at this time, bringing an end to Love Live! the same way it had started with the original art. Emi Nitta (Honoka Kosaka) stated that this wasn’t intentional, but it was very much like Love Live! to connect like this.
– The costumes were highest in priority and production started in January, while the setlists were lowest in priority and were only decided a few weeks before the live.
