Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is a Japanese multimedia spin-off project from Love Live! series and its game series Love Live! School Idol Festival. It was first introduced in 2017 as “Perfect Dream Project” and was initially created as part of the game Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars.
Unlike μ’s and Aqours, the previous groups from the franchise, they are a group of individual school idols who compete with each other while working together to keep their school idol club alive. Together, they are referred to as the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
