The official website of Love Live! Sunshine!! anime series has added the Philippines the list of Asian countries that will live screen the upcoming musical event Aqours First Love Live! ~Step! ZERO to ONE~ this month.

The information has been confirmed to Anime Pilipinas by the representative of SM Cinema.

 

According to the representative, the live screening will happen at Cinema 3 of SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City, which is coincidentally the venue of Final Love Live! live viewing last year.

The broadcast will happen on February 25 (Saturday) at 04:30pm and February 26 (Sunday) at 03:00pm, which would be the same start time at the event in Yokohama Arena in Japan.

Ticket prices will be announced at a later time, because of the ongoing discussions regarding the items that will be given away to the live screening attendees.

There are also plans for selling merchandises during the event, but the items may be very limited in quantity.

 

Aqours First Love Live! ~Step! ZERO to ONE~ is the first major concert of the Love Live! Sunshine!! female idol group Aqours, composed of Anju Inami (as Chika Takami), Rikako Aida (as Riko Sakurauchi), Shuka Saito (as You Watanabe), Arisa Komiya (as Dia Kurosawa), Aika Kobayashi (as Yoshiko Tsushimiya), Kanako Takasuki (as Hanamaru Kunikida), Ai Furihata (as Ruby Kurosawa) Aina Suzuki (as Mari Ohada) and Nanaka Suwa (as Kanan Matsura), which will happen at Yokohama Arena in Japan.

Aside from the Philippines, the concert will also have live viewing events in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.
