What is Love Live! Sunshine!!?
『Love Live! Sunshine!!』 is a major project launched in 2015 as the second installment in the "Love Live!" series. Set in Uchiura, Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, it tells the story of nine high school girls who form a school idol group called "Aqours" and strive to save Uranohoshi Girls' High School from closure and find their own "sparkle." The project encompasses various media, including anime, CDs, live events, games, manga, and novels, with active real-world live performances by the voice actors. Notably, it has fostered deep collaboration with Numazu City, the work's setting, significantly contributing to local revitalization through "pilgrimages" to real-world locations. Matsuura Kanan and Kurosawa Dia, mentioned in this article's title, are members of Aqours and play crucial roles in the story. Their relationship and individual charms are discussed in close connection with the work's worldview.
Kurosawa Dia
Kurosawa Dia is a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of Aqours in "Love Live! Sunshine!!". She is the eldest daughter of the renowned Kurosawa family in the local area, with a younger sister, Kurosawa Ruby. Due to her extremely serious, responsible, and disciplined nature, she served as student council president. In the early anime, she showed a somewhat strict side, such as opposing the formation of Aqours, but this was an expression of her "inability to be honest with herself," stemming from a mix of deep affection for school idols and complex emotions from past setbacks. In reality, she is kind-hearted and deeply cares for her members and sister, but tends to struggle with expressing it directly. Despite being a perfectionist, her occasional clumsiness, her "otaku" side with extensive knowledge of idols, and her exclamation "Buu buu desu wa!" when surprised, have garnered immense popularity among fans due to the charming gap between her pride and cuteness. Matsuura Kanan's remark, "She isn't honest with herself," can be said to accurately capture Dia's true nature.
Matsuura Kanan
Matsuura Kanan is a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of Aqours in "Love Live! Sunshine!!", just like Kurosawa Dia. Her family runs a diving shop, and she herself is skilled in diving, characterized by a relaxed and active personality. She is a childhood friend of Ohara Mari and Kurosawa Dia, particularly connected to Dia by a deep, long-standing bond. Kanan is notably mature among the members, observant of her surroundings, and has a big-sisterly side, offering subtle support. After a past setback in school idol activities, she initially hesitated to join Aqours but returned due to her feelings for her friends. Her remark that Dia "isn't honest with herself" contains both affection, stemming from her understanding of Dia's complex feelings and true nature cultivated over their long acquaintance, and at times, playful teasing. Kanan's words serve as a catalyst for fans to rediscover the clumsy yet endearing side hidden within Dia, who usually appears perfect due to her serious nature, symbolizing the depth of their relationship.
