【Vocal only】Snow halation - Eri Ayase(絢瀬絵里)【LoveLive!】

Snow halation is μ’s second single as well as the ending theme for Love Live! School idol project Season 2 Episode 9. It was released on December 22, 2010 on both CD and DVD in order to celebrate the upcoming Christmas Day. It is also included in all of μ's solo albums and μ's Best Album Best Live! Collection.
The song is written by Hata Aki, composed by Yamada Takahiro, and arranged by Nakanishi Ryousuke.
As one of the first few singles, its song centers were decided by voting. Honoka Kosaka came in first in the poll, followed by Umi Sonoda and then Nozomi Tojo. The three of them form a triangle within the choreography, which is why Nozomi takes the center-back position and can be mistaken as the song center.
It is arguably the most famous song within the Love Live! discography, and the only one within the fandom to have a consensus on the cyalume colors to be used at concerts during the song: White for most of its duration, until the start of the final chorus whereupon everyone switches to orange, an effect meant to mimic the visuals in the original PV video. This trend had its roots ever since the very first live concert in 2012, but was not in full effect until the second in 2013. From that point onward it's been faithfully followed at concerts, live-screenings and conventions of all sorts. A more detailed explanation of this trend can be found here.
