▍About Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Dōkōkai
The nine-member Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Dōkōkai were revealed in 2017, as part of the Love Live! School Idol Festival game’s 2017 “Perfect Dream Project.” Unlike the idol group from “Love Live!”, the members of Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Dōkōkai are competitors and official popularity polls are organized to determine the most popular idol.
