RIP in Peace, Sif2: A Deep Dive into Past Love Live! Games [CC] - Video

IT'S FINALLY DONE ???? This video has been in the works for so long, and it feels weird that it's finally done. This is the biggest project I've done to date, from research to writing to doing all of the outfit textures for my model (although that last one was unnecessary tbh i just like making my life difficult alskdjfhsd). I might release the textures at some point for other Vtubers to use, but ngl most of these aren't actually done I just did the parts that would show on screen LMAO.

Corrections:
- The musical groups are 5 members each, not 6. I have no idea why I thought it was 6.
- Also I wanna clarify that part of my issue with Starlight is although I like that song, why are we giving a high schooler a sexy concept? ???? Like yeah it's probably better that the choreography looks like shit, but why not just... give her good choreography... and don't try to make it sexy period.
- The Archival Youtube is starting uploads in June, not January. I can't read.
- Apparently Yu Takasaki isn't the player character for All Stars, although they're v similar. Yu is in the anime for Nijigasaki, and although she and the All Stars protag fill all of the same roles, they're apparently different. oops lmao

Credits
- Victorian wallpaper bkg and model/textures made by me EXCEPT the necklace for the Royal Princess outfit, that one is a Vroid default
- Other bkgs and images/videos labeled LL Staff are official materials from staff and from the games. Likewise associated sfx are ALSO from the games
- For the Year Transitions, all of those assets are from SIF/All Stars except the following: the hair (from a Live2D texture from Fire Emblem: Fates), the wings (I did those), the glasses (also did those), and the horns (again, I drew that). I used to do a lot of shitty sprite edits back in the day when I was more active in the fandom, so I thought it'd be a fun way to pay homage to ye olden days.
