Love Live! Hasunosora Jyogakuin School Idol Club will premiere on Japanese television on January 10, 2027. The announcement, reported by Crunchyroll on October 19, also introduces a new key visual and confirms a seven-episode series following the one hundred and sixth class.
The date applies to Japan. For viewers elsewhere, it establishes the Japanese television premiere; it does not confirm a release date in their region. Anyone planning when to watch should keep that geographical scope in mind: the announced date concerns the start of the series on Japanese television.
A springtime story, with a January premiere
The anime will cover April to June in the class’s story. Those months describe the events being adapted, rather than the television broadcast period. The series therefore begins airing in January while following a stretch of the characters’ lives set during spring.
For existing Hasunosora followers, the class and the April-to-June timeframe identify the part of the story coming to television. The seven-episode format gives the adaptation a defined length, but it does not establish how the story’s events will be distributed across those months. The narrative timeframe and episode count describe different aspects of the series.
An app-centered project comes to television
Hasunosora is the fifth installment in the Love Live! franchise. The project centers on Link! Like! LoveLive!, an app that launched in April 2023. The television series builds on an established project: the app’s launch marks an earlier stage in Hasunosora’s history, separate from the upcoming anime premiere.
Readers encountering Hasunosora for the first time will see both names associated with the project. Link! Like! LoveLive! is the app at its center, while Hasunosora Jyogakuin School Idol Club is the name used for the announced television series. Knowing that relationship helps distinguish the project’s app origins from this television adaptation and its release date.
Go Kurosaki directs at Sublimation
Go Kurosaki is directing the series, with Sublimation handling production. The announced creative team also includes Fumiaki Maruto on the script, Haruko Iizuka on character designs and Yoshiaki Fujisawa on music.
For viewers following the adaptation, January 10 is the date to mark for its Japanese television debut. The announced story covers April to June with the one hundred and sixth class, while the way those events are divided across the seven episodes remains unspecified.
