Since unlike Love Live there are more idols than stars in the sky, and because I cannot read moonspeak, I have no idea which idol is available in the pool except the ones that are showcased.

Therefore, I will not pull until Koume or Rocker Chick are showcased.

Look up the Japanese on project-imas, then read through the list until you do or do not recognise it. You only have to look through the Cool list for Koume, and the Passion list for Syoko.

the 2% chance of SSR listed on the gacha page is further divided to be weighted for whatever ssr is currently showcased

I know that was thrown around earlier (it's 1.5%) and it would kind of make sense but that's not actually stated on the page so I'm still sceptical.

i got a yuki and miku when they weren't in the showcase and i'm pretty sure yuki was one of the later ssrs added so it's definitely some kind of pool

Don't buy an expensive rug then, just buy a cheap rug and spend the money on good things for Koume.

It's just an area rug. They're like $20 at ikea, too.

I should've clicked faces instead of shivering for like three hours goddamn. On the other hand now that I'm slightly less exhausted, I could probably like… do eventy things. Hm.

It's really good. It was also the first event song, my SR android AB77 (Abe Nana [nana], ha ha) is my pride and joy. I hadn't even heard it before (actually it turned out it's in the anime, though it's only background music so you can't really hear it) and it's possibly my favourite.

3, four if you make that shiny extra gauge on the left hit 17+(orange). On the plus side, it won't go down unless you rack up a pretty nasty combo of misses. On the other hand, you don't get a choice.

It's real fun when you get two susume otomes in a row, with their slightly different beatmaps.

It's kinda like Clark Kent and Superman.

Don't they both just say "eternally 17"? (she is one of my favorites and I am sad that I was such a lovely robot I couldn't score enough)

This event song sounds kinda heroic. It's nice.

well it's really easy to get (i think it's 24+) on pro. I've done it twice now.

Also is there some sort of starlight stage idol tracking website where I can note down next to a picture of an idol whether or not i've gotten all of the commu's/idolized them? Would be pretty helpful.

e: I found a google docs spreadsheet. No pictures though, but they are categorized, and in order of what they would appear in in-game.

I just open the album and look for anything which isn't a pair, as far as idolising goes. The real killer with communications is not doing all of the ones you have (you can just leave idols in a team until they stop having new ones), but the fact that new ones come out every event/story mission/gacha update and you can't tell unless you go into the list and check.

I made my own spreadsheet. There was a lot of drawing in kanji involved. I'd still have to check in to see if an idol I never use got a commu added. Do not be me, even if the spreadsheet is in a very attractive ivory and green.

Fun fact: pages cannot, under any circumstances, alphabetize in japaneseso far as I know. Although I'd rather give it a bye on the kanji, I guess. Multiples and all that.

yeah i am editing one that already exists. The names are in roman characters, and if there is something missing from the list, I am only gonna stick it in there if I have it in my commu menu, so I can tell where it is supposed to go. Not gonna try and figure out Japanese alphabetical order.

also I figured out how to remove the warnings, the person who made the original spreadsheet put protections on stuff, I just removed them.

Comparing the pros and cons of SIF and SS once more.

SIF
+ Simple and easier interface
+ Fast loading times
+ Set number of girls so you know and become attached to every one of them
+ Ability to identify which normies you've already maxed, making it easy to organize and get rid of the ones you don't need
+ Better songs (subjective)
+ Easier to play with thumbs only (subjective)
- Need two copies to idolize
- I can't skip the cutscenes???
- No cute school idol clubroom

SS
+ Only one cover and items needed to idolize, with items being easy to come by via idol office and regular gameplay
+ A lot prettier overall
+ High degree of customization for gameplay, like note speed and colors
+ Free pulls include SR idols (!!!!!)
+ Normies have more personality than SIF's normies
+ Easier interface for stories (namely skip button is painfully clear)
+ Idol office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Hard as hell to play with thumbs (subjective)
- Only a few good songs (subjective)
- Too many idols (subjective)
- A lot of loading, I'm not downloading anymore but loading still takes time
- Prettiness comes at the cost of so many loving menus!!!!
