What is the Meaning of the Feather in Love Live!

[@WatTheWut]

This video was meant to come out in November, but seeing as how I decided to do the 12 Days, I felt like this would be better saved for now. Hope you enjoyed it!

[@Lunaxxor]

Ok unironic comment this time, I actually cried. These Love Live! analysis videos you keep making actually prove to people that it isn't just some idol show that doesn't mean anything. You can even look at the seiyuus own interviews and see what they actually say about their experience with LL. If anyone tells me Love Live is just "idol trash", I can't take them seriously.

[@WatTheWut]

Lunaxxor imagine being me tho and Unironically starting to cry while recording this tho Or while watching the clips Or while thinking about love live I need help

@@WatTheWut we love your works! Keep flying my brother!

[@anhvuquang7906]

I still agree with people who think love live in general is just generic cute anime girl trash, but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it, I admit there are certain things about it that surprised me, the ending of the love live movie almost made me cry, almost Although you should expect normal people to keep calling it "idol trash", and may find this video cringe, there's no need to be sad about it

[@mechanicrainbow2709]

​@@anhvuquang7906 it's not trash if you enjoyed it.

[@Brix_H]

I cried at the end of Love Live. I cried at the end of the Final Live. I cried at the end of Sunshine. I cried at the start of the video.

[@starfait_draws]

You never fail to bring tears to my eyes whenever you speak of love live. It makes me feel even more proud of being part of this community. I love the franchise so much and Aqours' story touched my heart very deeply. Keep up the great work.

[@nidotojo600]

I cried watching your video, as a huge µ's fan this feather means a lot to me. You totally understood us.

[@Daiyamaruu]

Finally i found a channel that makes justice to Love Live showing the true meaning of everything the anime/songs have. Seeing people making fun of it saying horrible things of Who likes the anime just make me so sad... I will Always be grateful to this franchise, it helped me to be better, a better person. Especially after the episode where ruby and hanamaru are joining aqours. That hit me so hard because i'm exactly like ruby. From personality to things that happened with her, i'm the exact same. I am watching all your love live analysis and all i can say is: thank you. Thank you so much for making this videos ❤

[@Texaboose]

I never realized the lyrics were so interconnected, so thank you so much for doing this video. Also the full meaning of the feather completely escaped me apart from being a symbol to connect µ's and Aqours, so again, wonderful analysis. A tear was shed while watching this.

[@kalther_w]

I cry every time you upload a Love Live analysis, thank you

[@samadactyl8724]

Thanks a lot I’m binging all of these and crying

[@IIIIStevenIIII]

Same, I used to think sunshine wasnt as good as original SIP but while binging these videos I realized both muse and aquors deserve the same amount of praise and they have both a unique beauty for themselves with the themes they represent, on top of that love live is pretty much my only weakness when it comes to getting emotional so I've been tearing up a lot and yet I dont regret discovering all of these vids.

[@IIIIStevenIIII]

Well thats a bunch of text

[@Yoisshoni]

2:30 The OST... E-everyone remember this... 😭💔 3:58 N-no... Not this... 😭😭💔💔 5:07 This scene is just beautiful... ❤ It's in the movie :")

[@DEEZ_N4T]

Aqours hardships were relatable and no other group can be as perfect successor of muse as them I enjoy both SIP and Sunshine, but Sunshine for me holds a special place in my heart. But what does the pink feather given to Saint Snow mean

[@ayeshajehan1944]

Okay. Now I just cried because: 1. Previously I only knew the song without caring about the lyrics. But you explained the lyrics or the meaning of the song very well, so now the song has become more meaningful in my ears. Thank you :) 2. I just realized that Muse and Aqours have a strong connection, mentally. Even though they never met, their hearts seemed to be one. 3. This video is so incredibly amazing and WHY DIDN'T I WATCH THIS EARLY!??

[@hawke123]

Brilliant work! It's nice to see some actual analysis of anime. Not enough people talk about the actual message behind anime and manga series. Man, these videos must take a long time to make...

[@davidwong3652]

Thank you for another beautiful analysis of Love Live! and pointing out the symbolism of the feather that I certainly missed. Your use of the lyrics to connect with your video was perfect, as it not just bring out the great music, but also the positive, motivation messages that I think is the core of this franchise.

[@blackcrossunited666]

Now that I finally sat down and watched your series of love live analysis, I can confidently say that these are one of the best videos of this kind I've ever watched. Your passion and love for the series shines through. Your understanding of the themes of this very misunderstood franchise is actually very refreshing. I can't thank you enough for this. P. S i teared up on all 3 of the videos.

[@TrademarkedIPAdress]

Hot dang. I was thinking that this is just some fun video I could put in the background while drawing, but no, 7 minutes in, and I'm bawling my eyes out, then again at the end of the video. This is one of the best anime analyses that I've watched tbh.

[@sapipote]

I am watching your videos because I want to do a video essay of Love Live! for a class assignment but it's so hard to hold my tears, there are so many things I didn't notice about the series until I watched your videos. They're amazing! thank you so much!

[@Chockitkat]

You might not know this, but thank you for allowing me to give Aqours a chance. I used to hate them a lot, but after realising that they were more than just copying Muse, I shall watch the whole series. I had actually watched their movie and pretty much enjoyed it without myself realising. Thank you for reminding me of the first few animes I have watched that helped me create a better series. Also, thank you for making this video. The ZERO really hit me hard in the head and when I watched the video about not wanting to regret anymore, I literally cried. I feel that way all the time, and so I am glad someone helped me realise there IS an anime character whom I can relate to. I can't thank you enough, but thank you!

[@Jaszleemin]

Love live! Muse saved me from depression, anxiety, fears, giving up on my dreams

The feather analysis really helped me better understand the meaning of the feather and it all makes sense now.

[@jiyuuskiyuu1465]

all the songs i play in school idol festival suddenly hit different now-

[@TrueBeLeafer]

Absolutely love the work you do in this videos, it helps shine a light on the magic of Love Live as a series. At first I didn’t know what to expect when I started watching the series, but bit by bit you fall in love with all the girls and the journey they are on. This series gives you nine characters that matter. And the best part is finding your “idol-sona” or “best girl”, we find ourselves in them and can connect on a deeper personal level. 💛

Symbolism in Love Live is some of my favorites there is in media, it's so beautiful and inspiring for me and this explains it perfectly.

[@bubblykyeom]

Thank you for this video, now I realized the meaning of their songs are about dreams & words of encouragement not just for μ's & Aqours also to people who are giving up. Back then, I hate that due to their costumes but I realized the story plot is related in real life also to other people who wanted to pursue themselves inorder to make their dreams came true. I became a fan of them half of 2017-2019

I just dont know why Love Live makes me cry. Im not the tipe of person who become emotional for a lot of things, but this anime make me have lots and lots of feelings that i cannot explain. Thank u for the vídeo, this take out lots of my doubts :)

[@JS215Gaming]

Back here after watching the 1st Episode of LL! Superstar!! P.S. If you're watching this (Especially LL! Superstar!!), Pls. Don't spoil the series wherein contains some parts what you even remember since watching the pilot of LLSIP. & For me, the Meaning of feather means "Hope on Being/Becoming the heart of School Idols".

[@MrSpecify9]

I can only wonder what will become of the blue feather afterwards. Though I'm seriously hoping this symbolism carries over to Love Live: Superstar and the Liella! group

You sound like you're about to cry throughout this whole thing, and while it's cool that you feel that much emotional attachment to this show, I honestly find it really unbearable. Sorry...

I agree with you that normal people would find this show rather cringe and just simply cute anime girl trash, I think the show is generic too, but I still enjoy and there are few moments that did surprise me
