However, nine female students come together with one thing in mind— to form a pop idol group to revive the school’s popularity and keep it from shutting down. “In order to protect our beloved school, there’s only one thing we can do...become pop stars!” Their goal is simple: Become an overnight sensation and use their nationwide media exposure to promote their school and bring in a wave of new students to the ailing area. A simple but solid plan, they figure. Naturally, they’re nervous and wonder if this plan can really succeed, but for better or worse their journey continues… © 2013 PROJECT Lovelive!

Les différentes dimensions : Page 7 4. Importance dans la culture populaire : Page 15 2 1 : Naissance de Mobile Suit Gundam et explications Mobile Suit Gundam (Kidō Senshi Gandamu en Japonais) ou Gundam plus couramment est une franchise d’animation Japonaise créée par Yoshiyuki Tomino et Hajime Yatate pour le studio d’animation Sunrise en 1979. Elle appartient au genre « Mecha », restant assez classique dans son thème de science-fiction mais est très innovatrice de par sa volonté du réalisme, aussi bien à travers sa narration qu’à ses éléments technologiques. Malgré des débuts difficiles, Gundam à réussi à se faire un nom en 1980 jusqu’à nos jours. Aujourd’hui, la franchise comporte une trentaine de séries, d’OAV (Original Animation Video) et de films. Mais aussi une dizaine de mangas, de romans, de jeux-vidéos et même de parodies (SD Gundam). En 1979, les japonais voyaient débarquer sur leurs écrans une nouvelle série de science- fiction nommée Kidô Senshi Gundam (appelée plus communément Mobile Suit Gundam). Dans cette série il y avait des mechas, mais pour la première fois depuis des années, le rôle de ces robots n'est pas super important. Ici, ces monstres de métal ne sont pas indestructibles, ils ne sont pas des armes ultimes et sont encore moins destinés à sauver le monde d'une menace extra-terreste (par exemple). Pour la première fois dans une série d'animation de science-fiction avec des mechas, les personnages jouent un rôle déterminant dans une guerre qui fait rage.

If you compare the social network to that of an infectious disease, then by 2017 it could only have as little as 20% of its peak user base left. IThat is according to researchers at Princeton University, who used epidemiological models to explain user adoption and abandonmentndonmmeent of social networks. Granted, they did base their conclusionsons off Facebook on that of the disaster that was Myspace, whichh wass left abandoned because of mass migration to Facebook. For now there is no new social network that threatens Facebook’sceboookk’s popularity, but the fact that younger people are simply nott ass enamoured by the big F (3 million less 13-17 year old userserss thanthhan inin Jan 2011) is interesting. This might be because posting becomesbeecocomes increasingly less cool once you’ve accepted that friend requesteququest from mom. I have also heard a number of users complaining about simply not coping with Facebook’s continuous updates ofof smiling selfies, happy loving couples, ‘inspirational’ pictures,rress, kids off to their first day of school, babies born, new brilliant jobs, and friends showing off their holiday cabin at the edge of Mount Couldntcareless. Complaining about that though seems a bit like criticising a chair because itt forces you to sit down.
