Love Live - West Promenade

While at the Odaiba Observation Deck for Love Live Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, I also took some original Love Live pictures at the west promenade of Symbol Promenade Park for the music video of μ's single Natsuiro Egao de 1, 2, Jump! which can be watched here.

They're supposedly dancing at the west promenade right in front of the Odaiba Observation Deck here. You can spot the Aqua City Odaiba building on the left.

Reverse view. The observation deck is actually missing in this music video, there's no huge flower beds in real life, and the ground here got bricks and not wood. I've marked the approximate location in the map below though.

This is the Hilton Tokyo Odaiba building in the background.

A lot of the other Odaiba landmarks shown in the music video is actually a bit further away in real life. Behind Nico here is the Telecom Center building.

In the middle here is the Flame of Liberty sculpture which is located closer to the Central Square in Odaiba.

And this was the Daikanransha ferris wheel. This photo is from 2014.




It used to light up in different patterns at night just like shown in the music video, here in another photo I took back in 2014.




But it was closed down in August 2022. This was what was left of it when I visited this time.

Love Live - Shinagawa Station

Since I was staying at a hotel in Shinagawa for the Love Live Series 9th Anniversary Love Live Fest, I also got some pictures inside Shinagawa Station since it was shown in Love Live.

This is near the Keikyu Line transfer gate.

Kotori is leaving for overseas and she's saying her goodbyes to her mother in the last episode of the first season.




Image from S1E13 - 13m08s


Kotori's mother calls out.

And asks that Kotori takes care of herself.




Image from S1E13 - 13m15s


Parts of the fare sign behind Kotori looks similar, but the prices are different.




Image from S1E13 - 13m21s


Kotori leaves for Haneda Airport.




Image from S2E11 - 14m43s


The station is also shown in the second season. This is at the JR Yamanote Line at the Central Gate.




Image from S2E11 - 14m44s


This sign has been changed since the show was made.




Image from S2E11 - 14m46s


They seems to be taking a JR Tōkaidō Main Line train from the track 11 and 12 platform, even though the sign in the anime says that track 11 and 12 is located elsewhere.

Similar looking train leaving the station.



No location map since it's just Shinagawa Station.

Love Live Series 9th Anniversary Love Live Fest

During my latest trip to Japan I also attended the first day of the Love Live Series 9th Anniversary Love Live Fest concert.



In Akihabara Station they had this giant ad for the event.




The ad featured Aqours from Love Live Sunshine.




μ's from Love Live.




And the members of Love Live Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.




While traveling around I also saw ads for the Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars game in various locations.




One with Honoka.




And another with Yoshiko.




I also saw Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars decorated JR Yamanote Line trains.




Kasumi and Kotori.




Kanan and Shizuku.




Karin and one with Honoka, Chika and Ayumu.




Mari and Hanayo.




Setsuna and Hanamaru.




I got some closeups as well.




Starting with Honoka from μ's.




Rin.




Maki.




Eli.




And Nico.




From Aqours I got pictures of Chika.




You.




Riko.




Ruby.




And Yoshiko.




And finally from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Emma.




And Rina.




The concert itself took place on January 18th and 19th at Saitama Super Arena.




I only attended the first day though.




I entered the arena at entrance B here.




No pictures allowed inside during the concert, so this one is from the official Love Live twitter. I was sitting towards the left upper side in the 2F 200 level. My first time at a Japanese live concert and I saw performances by μ's, Aqours, Saint Snow and Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.




After the concert I got pictures of some flower stands on my way out.
















Outside it had become dark and decorative lights were turned on.




Here's a picture of the set of clear files included with the overseas travel package to see the concert. In the picture is also an advertisement booklet I picked up, a guide on how to read the concert ticket and a hotel information flyer.



No location map since it's no longer there.
