Chu's Day is already a Japanese Band, they tweeted the Lovelive people like "Yo, what the gently caress?"

I'm not really a fan of any of the names in group A and Powerful Garage is hilarious to me, so... I'll be voting for that one. KANARIA is my favorite is group B and C has A LOT of names I like. - mostly Chrom Cross and Lolic.

Chu's Day is funny because I keep thinking it's a reference to Chu2.

Day = 日 = Ni
Chu's Day = Chu's Ni = ChuNi = Chu2

I'd be curious in that data as well since I haven't noticed things getting particularly harder in ranking. I think I've placed around 21,000th place or so for the last three events with event points, without having to use stamina drinks. I suspect the competition is probably getting tougher, but not across the board in terms of average song difficulty played on.

Well, there's only four event results (two of each type) available in their tweet history and they both ran for different time periods so they're not reasonably comparable, I'll wait for more. I'm willing to believe I'm actually just bitter and should figure out how to Master. I felt like I tried pretty hard this time around, but, it's not like I was actually counting.

The SS event song on master is very busy. I'm kinda curious as to how they made it even more hellish for the + version. But not curious enough to try without actually bringing a healer, because that's impossible. (Whoops)

It's a cute song, though!

In short, HELL NO. I do like the song too though.

At least the best thing is ROMANTIC FINALLY.


New event in GF Note, with edited formatting. You earn event points like before, but now there's also a ranking system against other players. Placing in the top 7500 will net you a copy of the event SR at the close. It looks like they're even putting how many points you need to make the given tier in the reward check screen, which is pretty nice.

The game is, however for me at least, running super slow, which is a bit of a downer.

Edit: another new feature is 'Miracle Sense', which are star items you get from playing songs. These are used for the 'Revolution' option in the Clothing Room, to evolve them like you would a girl's card.

Seems like rank is even real time updated. Very helpful. Well, I guess this will also give us an idea of how competitive this game is. I don't think I'll be trying to tier this time around, but it'd be nice.

I kind of want to do a 10+1 though because my teams remain so weak, especially on the event colour songs.

edit: Seems my problems are limited to just me. For some reason my phone's being across-the-board slow at loading a bunch of things.

The Starlight Stage missions unlocked (left of the gift box, but they have a NEW on them so hard to miss). There's a Daily and Weekly tab and they're mostly 'do a thing X times'.

I don't know if the actual missions are global, I have clear Trancing Pulse, collect 10 things from your boxes, give 5 room likes, clear all daily missions / clear 50 lives, log in every day. Pretty low-tier rewards but not bad for things you're either doing anyway or can do without much additional effort.

I think the daily song mission isn't, because mine is ØωØver!!. But yeah, nice to get even more stuff.

And we also have new missions in GF Note as well - points-based, which I assume is your total score across songs you play (but not plays resulting from event participation). The first three rewards are auto-accepted (100k, 500k, 1m points), and yield Winter Chime, Kiyoku Tadashiku? School Days, and I Say, I Love. And then there are a bunch more you have to manually accept. Looking at further rewards (since I mainly event-play), you get even more Luck Stones, some nice Power Mists for clothes, and even Ema Fukami trainer cards for leveling girls' card skills.

Yeah, all my missions are the same except Yume-iro harmony. It's nice that there's a little countdown timer for when the day/week ends, though. Easier than doing the math, I guess.

Speaking of missions, I don't want to clear the ones in gf because I'm terribly curious as to how they'd fit three digits on the counter (presently at 95):

Heh, I hadn't played enough outside of events, so I'm only at like 49. I was at 50 but I grabbed that first 200kGal reward for the heck of it.
Looks like I can start increasing that number again on the 8th.

And with regards to that poem, that's kind of how I operate in GF Note... though I do have one person on my friendslist with an SR support member for some reason. Kinda don't want to get rid of whoever it is for some reason I can't pin down.
Though in SIF I don't mind having non-UR-center friends because I don't think my score hinges so much on the support.

:h::h::h:Alhamdulillah-chan:h::h::h:
I think the difference in SIF between a UR and a SR is like 3k. It probably doesn't matter unless you have say, a team of random crap you're trying to max bond with, where that might push the overall team value above the B threshold. I only vaguely bother in SIF because it's pretty miserly in terms of friend list space. I'm pretty sure I'm around lvl. 120 or so, and have like 20-something spaces for friends? SS has double that, I think.

Speaking of which, for SS's missions: as you'd expect, doing a song in an event doesn't count, unless I am misremembering and got a different song in the shuffle. Probably still doesn't actually count, though. Especially since "collect things from your room" means specifically from the reward boxes, and not the trainer board. The game does pop up a huge little window when you clear a mission, though. So that's considerate.

As for the GF thing: I am glad to know that's why I suddenly had all those extra songs. Incidentally, that's why I have so many of those missions cleared: the exclamation point and the number tabs were bothering me, so I'd wander away from the events to clear the new songs as they came up. That and I'm guessing it's a lifetime point total. One which I kinda wish they'd use bunching on in some manner or another. I stopped looking after what's either 20 million or 2 million, because trying to read that number is kinda unpleasant. That said, the rewards for those seem to be SR trainers, so that's nice.

It mostly matters when I'm trying to rank on the non-4x Hard during score matches. In which case I need to check which type of matching UR I need to use to boost my team even further.

Even though they were different lengths, Snow Wings and Pastel Pink were pretty close up for the first few days before the end approached. I guess that's not all that surprising actually. Need more data before I want to draw any conclusions, though.
