It's not a bad opinion to like Nozomi and Kotori.

Unless you're talking about their singing voices in which case that is a bad opinion in my (bad) opinion.

Once they're not singing super high and squeaky they get better, but not by too much imo
Yurika Kubo's Hanayo voice on Kodoku na Heaven is so much better than almost any other Hanayo vocal she does though.

I started out really like Eli (for the best LL song ever) and Maki (the piano rendition of Aishiteru Banzai from the anime) to the point where I thought BiBi had the best vocals, but I've come to really like how powerful Umi's voice can get, especially when singing with Lily White, and Rin's singing voice isn't as cutesy as her speaking voice and is really nice to listen to as well.

I'm not fond of most Printemps songs but I like the powerful / rock-ish ones like No Exit Orion and Love Marginal.

Though I do like sweet&sweet holiday as well.

Kotori's "Spicaterrible" is actually pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlJJK7kHZPw . It's high pitched sure, but it's in tune and not squeaky at all, definitely my favorite Kotori performance.

Hanayo's voice actress is my favorite (As well as Eri's but that's a given, and not just because she's best girl) because her voice is crazy versatile. Nothing beats her solo Love Marginal in my opinion, and I really wish they'd stop squeaking her up super high in group singles.

I like Spicaterrible a lot, which is weird because I loath Kotori's singing voice. sweet&sweet holiday is the worst Love Live song, but part of that is the scars I bear to this day from the torturous no-EX first event.

I have gotten ridiculous luck this Hanayo Medley Festival event on SIF EN. I've gotten 3 scouting tickets from gold rewards. This combined with the 1 I got from the last Medley festival and 2 from ranking the last 2 events, puts me at a solid 6 scouting tickets. Not sure which set I want to use them on yet.

Oh, they changed the SS caravan system, now you get fixed medals to exchange instead of randomly receiving the cards. I think I preferred random, 2000 medals is a long way away.

It's both. You can still get the event stuff as random drops, with better odds via matching grooves and high star rank on the center idol, but you can also get the medal as an item drop which you can exchange for event idols or items.

2. Should I max out levels before upgrading idols to the + version?

Preliminary results (aka I just tried it out on one Normal idol) say it makes no difference.

Also I only just noticed there was a joke "song" in Must Songs Blue as well as Red, nice

Gotta spend today grinding out some points of Medfes for Tier 2, luckily my rank is so high I don't even to burn too many love gems to do it. I considered T1 because it's Hanayo and Hanayo is the best but I don't think I'll have the time unfortunately. I was really off my game in this medfes too, embarrassingly so, I barely got any treasure chests for combo clears on EX. I have no idea what was going on. Too much hanging out on Hard Mode I guess.

:v: only ~100 plays on master, if you managed to get caravan coins™ every time. Somehow, it's more painful now. Before you'd just not get an idol, but now getting nothing but even more shoes just feels a bit like a thumb in the eye.

The non-rare caravan SR drops quite often. It's the main event SR that's a huge main in the rear end to get.


Kanako is cute from the virtue of not being a stick but is very dull personality wise (probably made worse since I can only hear her voice as Kyoko from Yuruyuri who has a very fun personality). I only kind of like her due to idol Stockholm syndrome from owning her Halloween card.

Yeah, Kanako is kinda like the girl that eats all the time in LWA2. There's just not much substance there. Also, she's in the worst unit outside of New Gen.

Yeah, it's the lesson animation from CG. Ninja girl is my best (8) star Passion idol too, though I have a 9 in Cute shrine maidens.

They made a Kanako-solo version of Happy x2 Days, including replacing the Anzu rap sections. She...talks about her diet.

Ooookay. I have the formula for bond as a function of combo in GFNote figured out for the range of combo values [0,199]. I could devise one for [200,399] but I need a lot more data because the resultant value increases more in that range.

[0,99]: B = C/10 + (C > 50 ? 4 : 0)
[100,199]: B = 23 + [(C-100) / 10] + (C > 150 ? 4 : 0)

That's the same as LLSIF for C < 200. See below (all division is integer division):

Bond = Sum for all C: C/10 + 4*(C/50) + 5*(C/100) + (C-200)/10 - (C-200)/50

i.e. 1 per 10, except 2 per 10 above 200, except 5 per 50, except 10 per 100

I think this cements my JP account as my main. Just a bit more to go before my teams are max leveled.
