Liella!

 (リエラ) is a fictional eleven-member school idol group appearing in the Love Live! Superstar!! multimedia project. They were originally formed as five in 2020, consisting of Date Sayuri as Shibuya Kanon, Liyuu as Tang Keke, Misaki Nako as Arashi Chisato, Payton Naomi as Heanna Sumire, and Aoyama Nagisa as Hazuki Ren. They debuted on April 7, 2021 with the single "Hajimari wa Kimi no Sora" from Lantis.

Following the release of Love Live! Days Volume 27, four new members added to the group. They consists of Suzuhara Nozomi as Sakurakoji Kinako, Yabushima Akane as Yoneme Mei, Okuma Wakana as Wakana Shiki, and Emori Aya as Onitsuka Natsumi. They were officially announced on May 12, 2022.

Following the release of Love Live! Days Volume 39, two more new members added to the group, bringing the total to eleven members. Yuina, who is the cast of Wien Margarete, joined in. The cast of the one remaining member, Onitsuka Tomari, was revealed to be Sakakura Sakura.

In addition to portraying their respective characters, the voice actresses are also active in holding live performances, as well as appearing on TV, radio, and events.

Etymology
The name of the group is an amalgamation of the French verb lier (to link), referencing the first kanji in Yuigaoka (結) and the Spanish, Italian or French adjective brillante (shining). The words lier and brilliante also have a meaning of "bond" and "shine" in English.
