Hanayo Koizumi’s Actress Promotes Love Live! Movie In Video Greeting


Last week, the Love Live! anime website opened a new section, which will eventually feature video greetings from all nine of the actresses that play the members of in-show idol group μ’s. Each week a new actress will count down the weeks that remain until the launch of Love Live! The School Idol Movie

The feature started strongly, with a message from Nico Yazawa actress Sora Tokui. This week, Yurika Kubo, who plays Hanayo, greets the world with a smile as big as Kayo-chin’s comically large rice balls.

In addition to the video greeting, a new Hanayo Twitter icon and wallpaper were uploaded to the site:

Love Live! The School Idol Movie will begin screening in Japanese cinemas on June 13. Every week at midnight (Japan local time), a new video greeting and image set will be released via the Love Live! website.
