6th week weekly video “Kasumi Nakasu ver.” / Screening from October 11th (Friday) to October 17th (Thursday)
A staff talk screening of the movie “Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Final Chapter Chapter 1” was held on Monday, October 7th. After the audience thoroughly enjoyed the screening, director Kawamura Tomoyuki, screenwriter Tanaka Jin, and Mebachi from Design Works took to the stage. An exclusive talk event with the staff who created the movie began.
First, Director Kawamura spoke about his enthusiasm for this film, saying that since it is the final installment, he wanted to pack in everything he wanted to do so that he would have no regrets. Next, Tanaka spoke of his enthusiasm to portray the film as a conclusion to the TV series, which is set in the third semester. Mebachi spoke of his feelings, saying that although he had been working on the film with the intention of depicting everyone as they always do, he also felt a sense of loneliness as it was the final installment.
Speaking about the scenario, Director Kawamura said that the first season of the TV anime depicted the members’ solo activities, the second season depicted their group activities, and the movie will depict their solo activities once again through “School Idol GPX”. He commented that in order to properly depict each member’s solo activities in the final episode, the Nijigasaki members’ scenes were divided. Tanaka then revealed that from the beginning of the project, she thought it would be good to have a story where the members compete against each other as individuals, after experiencing solo as individuals and as a group of friends. In particular, it was revealed that the structure of the first chapter was decided from the early stages to have the climax be about the rivalry between Ayumu, who continues to grow as a school idol, and Lange, who already has a high level of professionalism.
Speaking of the live performance scenes, Director Kawamura said that he was particular about having all the Nijigasaki members appear in the footage, including those who did not go to Okinawa. He said that his aim was to show that the girls are currently involved with the club, unlike the live performance scenes in the TV anime, which focused on one member in depth. He also said that he was particular about including Okinawan scenery and scenes that depict the members’ mental landscapes. Incidentally, the spring, summer, fall, and winter scenes sandwiched between Ema’s live performance scenes were apparently inserted with the order in which the members joined in mind, so scenes depicting the spring before Ayumu and the others joined the club, the summer after they joined, the autumn when Lange and the others joined, and the winter they spent with QU4RTZ were inserted. The director’s attention to detail drew admiration from the audience.
Next, Mebachi spoke about the costumes worn by each of the performers at their live shows. Shizuku is the first to appear in this film, and as he wanted to show an unexpected side of her by using designs and colors that she doesn’t usually wear, he struggled with the colors and came up with many ideas. He also revealed that Kanata’s costume, which at first glance looks like a mermaid, is actually inspired by a fishman. Mebachi wanted to express the strong Kanata who has grown up. Regarding Ayumu’s costume, which is striking in its deep pink color and fishnet stockings, he commented that he designed it to show her strength, as he believed that Ayumu would be able to wear it confidently now that she has grown up.
スタッフトークはさらに盛り上がり、本作のこだわりについての話題に発展。ゲストの天と小糸の出番は何度も調整があったことが明かされた。田中によると、２人の仲直りシーンは最初はもっとあっさりしていたものの、河村監督からもっと２人の関係を濃く描きたいと要望があったそうだ。他にも侑と歩夢の屋上での再会シーンは、メロドラマのイメージをもっていたという河村監督。このシーンの音響作業中、侑が歩夢に声をかけるセリフがより効果的になるようこだわったと語った。また、今作の私服についてめばちから、メンバーによって荷物を増やしてでも服を用意する子や効率よく着回す子といったそれぞれの性格を考えた上でデザインしていることが語られた。
そして最後に田中から、キャストが表舞台に出る機会の多いラブライブ！シリーズでは、シナリオを作る際にメンバーの心情が演じるキャストにしっかり伝わるよう特に心がけているという、裏方としてキャストを応援する気持ちが語られた。田中が完結編ではそういった想いを最後まで貫いてがんばりたいと告げると、河村監督もそれに続く形でこれまでの感謝とともに2章3章への意気込みを語った。そんなスタッフたちに感謝を伝えるかのように客席から拍手の音が盛大に鳴り響き、熱気冷めやらぬ会場の中でスタッフトーク上映会は幕を閉じた。
