You both are dead to me! DEAD!
Hey come on now, once you've heard that "3, 2, 1, Live!" You just can't go back.
Also, totally forgot about No Brand Girls. That is muh jam. Maki's version is best version and it's the one of the two LL songs that I actually bothered to learn how to play on guitar

What the hell is that card on Brave Student? Never seen it.
Also Sweet Holiday dabesss
Students love to use promo cards, and promo cards (almost) never gets released in EN.
3rd years means pull. Pull means disappointment.
I wonder why the SR isn't marked 'new'? I don't think I ever sold/ate one of her (why would I do such a thing?), but she's certainly not in my collection.
Assuming EN, sent. I have the same name as here.

It's not marked as new if your box is full
Yup. Thanks.
I don't really post in here but...
My favorite songs are LONELIEST BABY, anenome heart, Snow halation, Cutie Panther, and soldier game.
Oh, I also really love Kaguya no Shiro de Odoritai and Datte Datte Aa Mujou as well. Those Cool songs, I guess lol.
But I do love almost all of their songs...

μ's New Year LoveLive! 2013
Summary
μ's New Year Live took place on January 3rd 2013 in the Tokyo Dome Hall and is μ's second live performance. Unfortantely Nanjou Yoshino (Eli) was not able to make it. After a brief into of all the seiyuu alongside their anime character on the stage's screen it jumps straight into Wonderful Rush. It's almost immediately apparent that one of them is missing as there is an obvious hole in their choreography where another dancer should be. After the first song each of the seiyuu introduce themselves with a bit of banter between the group. Each of them inject some of their character's personality into their introduction while also showing of their own. Emi Nitta (Honoka) stood as the seiyuu which matched closest with her character's personality while Yurika Kubo (Hanayo) almost seemed a polar opposite. Right after the introductions are the performances of Bokura no Live and Yuujou no Change. Nanjou's absence is probably the most apparent during the Yuujou no Change. During Eli's solos instead of one of the other seiyuu taking her place they elect to show Eli from the Wonderful Rush PV on the stage's screen with the seiyuu on stage surrounding an empty space where Nanjou should have been.
A few more minutes of banter between the seiyuu before starting Mermaid Festa Vol 01 transitioning into the daily songs in LLSIF Mermaid Festa Vol 2, Soldier Game, Otome Shiki Ren'ai Juku and Kokuhaku Biyori, desu. Again, Nanjou's absence is missed in soldier game but Pile (Maki) does a great job with Eli's solos. The costume changes start when Sora Tokui (Nico) and Aina Kusuda (Nozomi) take the stage for Otome Shiki Ren'ai Juku. Previously they were wearing costumes resembling the Wonderful Rush ensemble but are now in their school outfits. Both Sora and Yurika Kubo (Hanayo) don't spend much time in their school outfits as they quickly switch to gym outfits for After School Navigators and Listen to my Heart.
Next are the character songs Blueberry♥Train (Kotori), Yuuki No Reason(Umi), Junai Lens (Nozomi), Koi No Shigunaru Rin rin rin! (Rin), Someday of my life (Honoka), Daring!! (Maki), Kodoku Na Heaven (Hanayo) and Mahoutsukai Hajimemashita! (Nico). There are no breaks between each song and each start immediately after the other. Each of the seiyuu do a great job with their solo performances and bring energy to the performance hall. The standouts have to be Aya Uchida (Kotori) as the opening solo and gets the audience active with her energy, Emi and Yurika with their passionate performances. Aya, Riho Iida (Rin) and Sora all make use of a prop while they perform which gave some variety to each performance. (The cat ears were nyanderful)
Next are the sub group performances starting with Lily White's Shiranai Love*Oshiete Love and A-NO-NE-GA-N-BA-RE! followed by Printemps' Sweet&Sweet Holiday and Love Marginal. There is plenty banter between the seiyuu before they start each performance but the funniest to me was when BiBi arrived on stage and immediately performed Diamond Princess no Yuutsu with Riho filling in for Nanjou and afterwards acting like she is meant to be there with Pile and Sora giving her scowling looks. After Riho is kicked off stage Aino joins BiBi for their other song Love Novels. Honestly, I would have preferred if Riho performed both songs.
After the subgroups performance μ's comes back to finish off the show with Mogyutto "love" de Sekkin Chuu!, Baby Maybe Koi no Button, Snow Halation and
Aishiteru Banzai!. The girls a give a bow, thank the audience and leave the stage. However, what is a concert without an encore? μ's comes back on stage to close the night with Natsuiro Egao de 1,2,Jump!, Oh,Love&Peace! and Bokura no LIVE Kimi to no LIFE. In between Natsuiro and Love&Peace each of the seiyuu give their own thank you to the audience for their support. They also take this time to announce their 3rd live concert, the 3rd Anniversary Live.
Impressions
The first thing that stood out to me was the lack of a live band to play the music. Maybe I'm too used to western performances but this absence made each performance feel a bit lifeless. The seiyuu did a great job with vocal and physical performance but the prerecorded music left me feeling a little empty. The backing tracks were also pre-recorded with the seiyuu only singing the main track. There are 8 vocalists so I assume it should be possible to coordinate part of the group the backing track and some the main track. The dances were fairly basic but it's hard to expect much when you have to sing at the same time and when you have to many songs to perform.
The seiyuu themselves all did a fantastic job throughout the live. Every single one of them was energetic and smiling every time they were on stage. The best vocal performances had to come from Suzuko Mimori (Umi) and Emi. Not all of the seiyuu are great singers on their own (Aina and Aya in particular) but as a whole they sound great together. The banter between them is energetic and funny (I didn't have subtitles so I can only assume what they were talking about) but it makes me wonder if a performance from them would work anywhere other than Japan. The banter between the seiyuu was a big part of the live in order for the others to get changed and prepare for the next song. If μ's were ever to come to the states I'd have to wonder how they would handle the interaction with the audience.
I have to say if μ's ever did come to NA I would buy tickets. Despite the lack of live instrumentals the seiyuu put their all into their performances with passion and energy. The audience was into it for every performance and it just looks like an overall good time. Please come to NA μ's!

Very nice to read your impressions for this live, thanks for posting, I think I will watch it again. It's sad that Nanjo wasn't able to be in this one but I still think it was pretty good. Specially Listen to my Heart and solo songs in general were very fun.
Yeah seiyuu chatting is an important part in the lives too, it's mostly fun stuff but in their ending speeches you can feel how they are connected to this franchise and it makes me happy to see what they have achieved because they are all very talented.
They did perform with live band before but that was only two songs in a LisAni live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJLkkVs1bp8
Hrmm. Wonder if something like this is happening next year, I'm gonna be in Japan from Dec 24th through Jan 5th....
6th live is announced but no dates yet
Is this old news? I won't get it.

How is it sold out already...? I hope it's just a site error.
I'm really sad I missed out on the first set now lol
Lol. I would if there was at least a single person still around =P

The sound mixing sounded a bit weird in that LisAni live. Otherwise I think I would prefer that to the prerecorded music playing.
My favorite performance from the New Years live is probably After School Navigators only because the song itself is hilarious to me. Heavy metal anime girls, it's too bad Sora didn't head-bang during it.

God damn fucking students such assholes ugh
Holy crap, preordered. This is a lot cheaper than getting from cdjapan for me and should also show them we have interest in their music. Buy this guys
I hope we get a new NicoRinPana song this year
Ordered, thanks! I passed on the release on CDJ when I saw it hit (Currently 9200JPY before shipping and ouch, 9936 on Amazon JP...).
It can go right along the im@s CDs that I've also started accumulating now.
Let me know when you get to "Infinite Student", because then we may have problems...

Man, NISA really going all in with the Love Live stuff.
I assume it'll be another few months before they're allowed to finally sell S2 though?

All my Love Live support goes into the Weiss Schwarz card game which I'm about to spend maybe $400-800 on in June.
Whoa, friend owl, that's... you may want to reconsider that.
That could be a good amount of fine boozes. At least then you're not left with physical cardboard reminders of your poor decision-making. Or get nendoroids or something, so you can festoon your desk with plastic reminders.
I ordered most of my Madoka figmas through amiami (and they've facilitated a few other poor decisions as well over the years), and I've never had a poor experience with them. That said, you made the right decision.

Are you still sans-UR in School Idol Project? I mean, $400-800 is bound to get you at least one, maybe two URs.

lol. Didn't one guy here spend like $500 without getting a single UR?
The student didn't even play :O.
Well, I think I'll make it to the event Card quite easily this time, and I'll have a Pure team with only one Rare and the rest being SR and UR. I really want a Smile SR/UR though, and a decent Cool SR/UR. I'm currently 17 love gems away from my next pull.
Also, does anyone get instances were the game doesn't recognise the input? I just missed out on a full combo on mermaid festa because it was late in recognising my fingers were on the lanes until too late with the beats that you hold the line on.
This used to happen to me occasionally when I was on my old Galaxy S2. Were I to hazard a guess, you're on an older Android device.
Nah, I'm using a LG G3, my S2 seemed to work perfectly when I was using that, maybe it is my phone though.
That happened to me as well the other day.
Seems to be a common thing. The worst is when it stops detecting your touch on a hold note because then you know for certain it wasn't you but the game/device.
Goes to show that buttons are still superior.
You monster you!! that SR should be in everyone's deck!!!!!
I unlocked the eri card time to go into hibernate mode until next event.
