A mixture of names that have been more prominent in recent work and some industry veterans in smaller, supporting roles, director Tony Oliver gets one thing very, very right with the sound and feel of Love Live! in English: the dynamic movement forward that is created by the energy and enthusiasm of the performers in the original version.
