Love Live! series’ latest title, 『Hasu no sora Jogakuin School Idol Club』 (scheduled to be released as an app in April 2023), the official account tweeted on New Year’s Day, causing fans to speculate on the contents of the tweet, which were related to 「Kanazawa sweets」.
I’m curious to see what the 「Tsujiura」 has in store for us…
There are several confectionery stores that sell Kanazawa sweets called 「Tsujiura」, but the official 『Hasu no sora Jogakuin』 contribution was Tsujiura from 「Morihachi」, a confectioner under the Kaga Domain’s official control. It is known as the essential New Year’s confectionery for Kanazawa’s New Year. The omikuji is wrapped in a cute flower-like monaka seed, like a fortune cookie….
The official post reads, 「Happy New Year! I’m really looking forward to Hasu no sora content! I look forward to working with you again this year!!!」 and 「Kanazawa (my hometown). Love Live is finally starting.」 and fans seem to be excited as well.
Some speculated 「that it was an official Love Live invitation to come to Kanazawa for New Year’s to sell these next year」, 「while others predicted that although they are not well-known now, in a year’s time they will be a candy known by all Love Livers…」.
By the way, the fortune-telling that the officials chose in their tweets are 「If there is pain, there is ease」, 「proof is better than argument」, and 「the mountain is high, therefore it is not noble」, which seems to be a sign that 『Hasu no sora Jogakuin』 will start moving in earnest….
Some people make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land early in the New Year.
Since last year, illustrations of 『Hasu no sora Jogakuin』 have appeared at Kanazawa Station and throughout the city, adding to the atmosphere.
