i think i didn't make something clear which lead to both you and Darjeeling being confused. i am referring to how Hanayo and Nico knew about it in Season 1 as i thought there had been more *before* the one that occurred in Season 1

They know from the advertisements. Hanayo is an idol-otaku. Nico is the president of the idol research club. It is not surprising at all that they would know.

<p>at the start of Season 2 of <em>Love Live! School Idol Project</em> the first years are running around the place trying to find Honaka to tell here there is a second Love Live competition noting that the first one was so popular that organizers decided to hold a second one.</p>

<p>But it was my impression Love Live was held before Season 1 since Hanayo and Nico already knew about it when μ's formed. so hasn't Love Live occurred in previous years?</p>
