I think Nozomi plays a really big part in Muse and in Love Live.
Yeah we know that Honoka started the group and everything, but imagine if they didn’t have any of the other members? Do you think they would’ve been that successful? I don’t think so.
How did everyone find or joined muse? By Nozomi’s help.
Nozomi basically helped everyone to join, and it all started by giving the group a name.
I believe that Nozomi’s motivation to make Muse happen, at first, was Eli.
She knew Eli wanted to help save the school somehow, she knew Eli needed something, and that was Muse.
Of course, when she started working on this, she found out every girl needed it. All Muse members needed it.
Nozomi wasn’t only focusing on helping Eli, after finding out that everyone needed this, she decided to help everyone by helping the school idols get their members, including herself.
I feel like Nozomi was first seeking out to make Eli happy, but she ended up making everyone better happier too.
Just think about it, without Nozomi, probably Muse wouldn’t be here, maybe not even the school.
Nozomi not only gave this group a name, she gave this group an identity, which was formed by all the members.
And you know what’s the best thing? That at the end, after being so lonely and having just one friend, she ended up with a whole group of them who love her very much, and she couldn’t be happier.
