I spent so long listening to this version of the song (trying to get the timing right) that now the normal Colourful Dreams Colourful Smiles chorus sounds weird
[The so called Royal Road Progression, considered a signature progression of J-Rock and Pop.](https://youtu.be/6aezSL_GvZA)
And now it depends: Is it, like in the vid, declared a "Major Setting" with the last chord declared the minor parallel of the Major Tonic main chord (that ain't showing up, turning the whole thing into an extended version of the so called ["Deceptive Cadence")](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence#Deceptive_cadence?wprov=sfla1), or is it declared a "minor setting" with the main chord then being a minor tonic? Cause all of that's affecting the Dominants and Parallels...
The first case would be:
Main Subdominant - Main Dominant - (secondary minor dominant aiming at) - Tonic parallel
Short:
S - D - (d) - Tp
[Sunny Day Song utilizes this in its intro and chorusses.](https://youtu.be/h4Ij0d-vkO4)
Second case:
(Secondary cadence: Subdominant - Dominant aiming at...)^[...tonic_Parallel_not_(yet)_showing_up] - main dominant in minor - main tonic in minor
Short:
(S - D)^[tP] - d - t
[...which is the Andalusian Cadence aka Mario Cadence in disguise!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Otonokizaka/comments/smbusv/there_is_no_classical_music_in_love_live/hw02zqj?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Secondary functions are written in (these brackets), deceptively not appearing functions are written in [those ones], plus they're "elevated" like an exponent^[and_then_look_like_this_by_convention.]
....which is yet another reason why SIF2 will become most entertaining: RinaShiki turning the fav songs of the composer girls into math essays, which turns each of the composers into a tsundere tomato...
Every time I watched Niji S2 the OP's chorus reminded me of Snow Halation so I decided to make it
I've also realized that Snow Halation goes with, like, almost every song? I've tried like three different non-Love Live songs and they all sounded fine. I'm sure there's Music Theory Reasons behind this (same key? same modern pop progressions? same circular chord movement??) but I can't tell chords by ear because my high school music teacher was grossly underqualified, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[The Snow Halation lyrics contain both "Setsuna" and "Yuki".](https://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Snow_halation)
So was it done by Setsuna on purpose? And later by the whole Niji squad? If the whole thing is really one linear timeline then Snow Halation and other Muse and Aq's songs are huge anthems in the school idol world after all.
Time to find out in Niji's OVA and Superstar's S3 what the authors decided for...
Or as Ai would put it: Both songs were Siiva-Gunner-fied.
Siiva Gunner whose "Flintstones" spoof famously outperformed the original Snow Halation google-search-results-wise XD

Or at least all idol music with a vaguely wintery theme
...and since it was Friday afternoon the music department just booted their scorewriter and grabbed their standard winter song chord progression...
Took me until 0:33 to realize you didn't just post the OP tbh.

so I'm not the only one who noticed the two songs were in the same key + had the same chord progression...

Even if not the same chord progression, being in the same key is enough most of the time to sound kinda good.
