user-1: This is a follow-up to this question.
Now I want to ask for some examples of Love Live OST songs that use the diminished viio chord, if they DO use the chord.
Will THIS be on-topic, then?

Because it is strange that Love Live very often uses the six major and minor diatonic chords while trying their best to AVOID using the diminished diatonic chord.  Yes, that particular chord.
It is VERY interesting.  I've never seen Love Live use that chord so far while in other anime songs it is used quite often.
For example, the Blend S OP theme (Bon Appetit S) begins with "flip-flopping" I, bVII, and viio chords all over a tonic bass pedal.



Would you ever think Love Live would write such a harmony like this?

user63: No.
Say what you will about relativeness, but keep in mind we explicitly stated to you prior that music theory questions are off-topic. The subject of diminished cords is music theory. No matter how much you try to twist things it is still music theory and not on-topic. Please keep in mind that we do not have the expertise to answer these questions, and that is why they are considered off-topic.
To understand what a diminished chord, one must first understand the basics of music theory. We cannot assume that lay users of this recreational Q&A site (as diverse as it can be) can understand such concepts and comprehend your intent. Such is why the question is considered off-topic. Lack of knowledge or expertise to discern context, due to specialized knowledge beyond the current scope of the site (anime and manga fans, not professionals).
