e: left to right in the first shot are Fumio, Kokomi, Akane and Chloe (Cool, Cool, Passion and Cute Cool, Cool, Pop and Sweet). Clearly you didn't watch the top-tier anime.

The anime was great because there were no boys except for chloes dad and main girls dad and it seemed like chloe and main girl would be a thing at the end.

Nickname field, family name field, given name field, I get that much, but I have no clue what the hell the bottom text says here and kanji-searching is tricky. I guess I'll blunder through it somehow!

I went through that during the couple of hours it was up the other week but if I recall correctly, that's just saying that the real name stuff is there so your waifus will call you by that. Only the nickname is public.

Ah, that's good to know. Thanks!

I managed to do a very rough and poor translation of some of the menus in-game. Details are at my Pastebin link in the OP, for anyone else wading into this corner of waifu hell.

It was just a cute girls doing cute things show and they were trying to get through as much of the game's cast as they could but yeah I did still actually enjoy it.

EDIT: Also just did the cheap daily roll on Starlight Stage and got the SR Karen Hojo. I'm 1/3 of the way to my dream Triad Primus SR and above team (if only Nao would get a card higher than normal...)

Sidenote - with GF Note, some of the song gameplay graphical elements feel plain - popup text for, like, score increase and accuracy indicators feel too... immediate/choppy, if that makes sense. Maybe it's because I turned 3D mode off.

Is this the bit where you chat with a center? I donno, because all I understood was the phrase "shutter chance." But hey, it comes with leveling up the dancer, which probably does something, since numbers get bigger :V

That disco ball is pretty distracting, even if I decide to ignore it, its still sliding in.

^^ I don't think they are more choppy without the 3d, although they might seem more abrupt if they're the only thing appearing on an otherwise mostly static screen.

What's the mode at the top of the center settings tab do? It looks like two of the options are light and heavy, but I have no idea what it means.
Well, at least I know I can move the judgment text, but I have no clude what "general effects" size means. Like, the sparkles?

It's pretty nice, though, that even with the 3D on, this hasn't fallen into "suddenly choppy because why not" like SS sometimes does, even on the simplest graphics settings.

They're just one-touch quality presets, that's why the other buttons go off and on when you select them.

Yeah, they're much more subdued on small, just little sparks instead of big note clusters popping out.

e: I'm already missing the fact that Starlight Stage doesn't go 'hey, why don't you friend this random person Y/N' after every game, though I'm aware it's in the minority

Okay, it's not really a dating sim. The big button is just "hey use these resources to increase Good Friend level".
You can dress up your center. I put a pretty bow on Nonoka.
I haven't tried the 20 Secrets game yet though. Probably not a good idea if I can't Japanese well yet.
'Abrupt' was a way more fitting term - thanks, it wasn't coming to mind.

Couple of notes:


Rarities seem to be N/R/SR/SSR/UR, assuming the order for the last two based on screenshots seen.

- yeah, this is the order in the regular game (minus HN and HR)

favorite girl (star at top-right: not sure how to disable this, still testing this section out)

- you almost certainly can't, since it sets the girl in your public profile, which I think was just my original centre before I did that

Miracle - the premium scouting type; gives R or higher girls, and at least R clothing, reportedly.

- the R clothing part is marked as a one-time only thing so I presume it's not guaranteed after your first 11-pull



Trying to get used to this semi-circular layout, I'm not used to the having my hand touching one note obscuring some of the other note spots. I guess this is another one of those things thumb users don't have trouble with.

Ooh, thanks for checking my statements. Sorry about that - I didn't mean to imply that the R clothing was given on every pull, just that it was in the pool of possible rewards for doing a Miracle pull.
I'm assuming it'll still be better to be a non-thumb user once we get to see some of the 'very difficult' song charts, though.

Oh, sure, yeah. Actually to be more specific the one-time only thing is for a R+ dress which I assume are significantly superior to hats and shoes, they're the only things they bother to list in detail if you go to the possible drops page. Though, apparently Yes_Cantaloupe didn't get one so I don't know if they've only just added that. There's a big pointery thing for it.

I made a quick gameplay video if anyone wants to see what they're missing. I was going to translate some missions but new ones keep appearing, it's making it hard to make a complete list.

I think we can assume that some of the missions will be the same type - "Let's clear {Song}!", "Let's full combo {Song}!", "Let's clear {Song} on Hard!", etc. I have some screenshotted that I was going to attempt translating, but I've got to get ready to head out soon, so I'll probably just do that when I get back home tonight.
This is a fun way to force myself to learn more Japanese.

That's what the reddit was saying. :

■ Update LIVE setting function

Coming flow of the rhythm icon now can be horizontal reversed/mirror (on/off) toggle function.
Space between Tap Area now can be adjusted (normal/wider) toggle function.

I absolutely need them to be less widely spaced so booo that it's not there.

Ok, yeah. That's the setting right at the bottom of the live settings, I tried that earlier because I wasn't sure what it did and I still wasn't sure afterwards but I think you should be taking the description literally - the (invisible) space between the areas is wider, not the actual buttons.

I think it's for people with smaller screens who are accidentally hitting the wrong button because the tap area is significantly larger than the actual buttons.

Yeah, those look right. I'm pretty sure the verb formations for all of them are of the "let's" variety so you can stick with that.

And like you said it looks like they're going to keep coming, they're not (all) so much the 'learn to do some basic tasks' missions like in some other games as they are general rewards for progress.
