is a mobile game of the a multimedia project that is part of the Love Live! franchise. The mobile game consists of live streaming and stories focusing on the members of the eponymous fictional club.
Published by ODD No., the game was launched on April 15, 2023.
Link! Like! Love Live! is marketed as a departure from previous Love Live! series, following "virtual school idols" and being "together with school idols over 365 days." The project differs from VTubers in that it has multimedia akin to predecessors that are antithetical to VTubingâÂÂwherein those portraying the characters typically remain anonymousâÂÂsuch as real-life live shows and emphasis on the voice actresses. Project producer Kazuki Satà  explained in 2025 that the "original idea" behind it was to "create a comprehensive and enjoyable multimedia mix experience within a single app. With this app alone, you can read the original story, enjoy live streaming, and enjoy live music in a slightly unique structure."
The in-universe story takes place at Hasunosora Girls' High School in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. In lieu of an anime, the story is primarily told in Link! Like! Love Live! and progresses in real time. Members in their final year of high school graduate and depart Hasunosora at the end of the academic year as students would in real life, while new members are added when the next school year begins. Those who graduated occasionally return with cameo appearances in the story or special streams.
Live streams in which the characters talk with viewers, called "WithÃÂMEETS", are conducted on the app as well as "FesÃÂLIVE" in-character concerts. FesÃÂLIVE shows are held every three months; they were initially monthly performances before the window was extended due to budget and time constraints. Motion capture is used for the voice actresses to appear as their characters in 3D.
Link! Like! Love Live! is a digital collectible card game. The primary game mode, School Idol Stage, requires players to accumulate as much LOVE points as possible during performances and reach a certain threshold to clear the map; LOVE is attained using a set of 18 cards and their corresponding skills. The mode can be played manually or have skills activated automatically.
Songs and cards are categorized by attributes like appeal, style type, and mood, with the most effective cards in School Idol Stage being those that match the song. Cards are also divided by rarity, with rarer UR cards having higher stats, and are acquired via a gacha system. Their strength can be further boosted with enough points for each attribute.
School Idol Show, a rhythm game mode, was implemented in 2025.
Where appropriate, plot descriptions mentioned below refer to the in-game story. Other parts of the franchise, such as the manga, feature some variations in the storyline.
Unlike other Love Live! series where they are formed mid-story, Hasunosora's School Idol Club was divided into three units since the start of the project.
is the oldest unit in the club. The unit is described as a "cute and traditional" group similar to those in other projects.
Styled in all caps as "DOLLCHESTRA" (a portmanteau of "doll" and "orchestra"), the unit focuses on more serious and emotional songs than its counterparts.
specializes in lively and chaotic music. For example, the 104th class version of "Identity" is faster than the original rendition and incorporates ska punk themes like brass instruments.
The unit's name is a portmanteau of the words "Miracle", "Kurakura" (ã¯ã©ã¯ã©), and "Park". It can also be shortened to "Mirapa!" (ã¿ãÂÂã±!).
A unit from Mizukawa Girls' School that competed against Hasunosora to qualify for Love Live!'s national tournament during the 2024âÂÂ25 school year. After Mizukawa shut down at the end of the year, Edel Note's members transferred to Hasunosora.

ODD No. became the game's publisher in December as part of a partnership with Bandai Namco Filmworks and Bandai Namco Music. According to Satà Â, the app was originally planned to be a rhythm game similar to its predecessor Love Live! School Idol Festival before switching to a card game. He noted this pivot prompted criticism upon release from those who thought it was a generic idol raising game; the Love Live! Days magazine jokingly described it as a "school idol cheering app."
The initial six-member cast, all of whom were Love Live! fans prior to joining the franchise, was assembled in February 2022 before being revealed on February 10, 2023. , who worked on series like Little Busters! and Hori-san to Miyamura-kun, designed the characters.

In February 2024, the game surpassed 500 thousand downloads. The 104th graduating classâÂÂGinko, Kosuzu, and HimeâÂÂwas added in April with the start of the new school year. Satà  called their arrivals "big risks both inside and outside the app" since there were no advance warning or hints, but it was realistic for actual school clubs. Likewise, the 102nd class' voice actressesâÂÂHanamiya, Sasaki, and TsukineâÂÂdeparted the franchise full time following their characters' graduations and a final live tour between April and June 2025. The graduating members occasionally returned to reprise their roles for cameos in the game's story and the movie, while Tsukine hosted a stream in December 2025 as Megumi to discuss her life after school.
