The film opens with a nostalgic flashback to Honoka's childhood, where she is determined to jump over a puddle left by a heavy rain. Her friends Kotori cheers her on, while Umi offers encouragement from the sidelines, showcasing the strong friendship that will persist throughout their adventures.

Fast forwarding to the present, the members of μ's discover that Love Live! is planning a third competition to be held at the iconic Tokyo Dome. Recognizing the need for increased publicity, the group resolves to embark on a journey to the United States where they are invited to participate in a popular TV program.

Initially, μ's contemplates disbandment due to the pressure surrounding their decision on whether to continue performing. However, Honoka and her friends come together to support their legacy as school idols, choosing to perform one last time before the month ends.

As μ's practices for their live show in New York City, they take some time off to explore the city and enjoy tourist attractions. This experience is captured in a nostalgic montage accompanied by the song 'Hello, Hoshi o Kazoete,’ reflecting their carefree moments together.

During their New York experience, Honoka gets separated from her friends and encounters a solo Japanese female singer performing a haunting song. Their conversation reveals a shared passion for music, while the singer's story of loneliness impacts Honoka deeply, leading her to reflect on her motives for singing.

That night, Honoka walks back to her hotel, burdened by the unparalleled weight of the singer's question about the reasons behind her singing. This moment of reflection prompts her to think deeply about her aspirations as an idol, setting the stage for her personal growth.

In a moment of inspiration, Honoka finds herself near a picturesque lake where the mysterious singer reappears. Challenging her to leap across the water, Honoka overcomes her fears and rekindles her passion for being a school idol, realizing the importance of her connection to the music.

At a crucial point, Principal Minami visits Honoka, encouraging her to reconsider the disbandment. This support reinforces the importance of μ's to their school and motivates the girls to rethink their future paths as idols.

Together, Honoka and her friends decide to embark on a journey across the nation to unite all school idol groups for a final concert. Despite initial apathy from other idols, the girls remain determined and use Maki's financial help to travel and promote their grand vision.

As the concert date approaches, preparations ramp up with Kotori and Anju designing costumes while Maki and Tsubasa compose a new song. The excitement and anxiety surrounding their impending performance build, especially after Honoka announces the group's possible disbandment.

On the day of the festival, μ's arrives at Akiba, filled with anticipation and nostalgia. Eli initiates fun festivities among the group as they take their first steps toward the stage, evoking memories of their past performances.

Upon their arrival at the stage, μ's is greeted by a sea of fans and fellow idol groups adorned in costumes that highlight their unique styles. The event begins with the electrifying performance of 'Sunny Day Song,' a stirring anthem that celebrates the unity of all school idols.

As the new academic year starts, two members of the Idol Research Club, Yukiho and Alisa, honor μ's' legacy by sharing the impact the group had on their school. They tell the newcomers about μ's' history and the incredible journey it took to achieve their dreams.

The scene transitions to backstage moments leading up to μ's' last performance. Excitement and passion fill the air as the group prepares to face their final audience, encapsulating their dedication to their craft.

In a powerful conclusion to their journey, μ's takes the stage for their emotional farewell show at the Akiba Dome. They perform 'Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari,' a heartfelt anthem symbolizing their shared experiences, culminating in an unforgettable moment that resonates with their fans.
