Half these cards are of girls under 150 cm.

Also that Momoka's my best/favorite healer — she's got the longest duration of the SRs, I believe.

I love this description of Aiko Takamori from the wiki.

iM@S wiki posted:

An easygoing girl, with a positive and calm personality. Aiko enjoys photography and does not like competition because of her 'soft sister' personality. She often sports various flower hairpieces and a section of her hair in a bun or a high ponytail. Due to her calming aura, people who talk to her usually lose track of time and drift off into a serene oblivion.

Yet another underappreciated idol.

Yeah, Aiko's great and it's criminal that she isn't more popular. Though I don't know why a girl who can lull people into a trance with her presence is a Passion idol. And the title of one of her S Rares is "Easy-Going Soft Girl," which sounds like something from one of those Tumblr blogs that posts nothing but pretty pictures.

Because the weather's good today, holding a camera in my right hand, let's go out♪
A napping cat, "snap!" The soft wind smiles

Seeing the white clouds drift across the sky makes me sort of want to drink some sweet milk tea

This time, let's go together to a popular alleyway cafe
Gently resting on the palms of our hands, let's look for happiness!

Surely, surely, surely...right?♥

Alone under the sunlight through the leaves, holding a camera in my right hand, let's walk steadily♪
A dog on a walk, "snap!" Mr. Sun is yawning

The sun slowly turning orange illuminates my heart faintly

This time, just like in a storybook, let's go together to watch the sunset
Gently resting on the palms of our hands, let's sketch our happiness!

Ah... Because these reflected days are my precious treasures
Ah... If I join them all together, they'll always, always make me smile

The "dazzlingly sparkling pieces" that we lined up together, let's collect them
Gently resting on the palms of our hands, let's bloom happiness!

Surely...right?♥

Surely, surely, surely...right?♥

There are worse ways for a man to go out than being around an idol whose existence is so soothing that the world just seems to melt away in her presence.

So the big thing going around my weeb pages is that apparently, there was a big anime convention back home and they sold some tarps used for it. Someone paid ~$200 for one, which is outlandish considering the exchange rate and how cheap you can buy tarps there. It was 9500p. To put that into perspective, the entrance fee to the convention was 150p.

Tarp in question:

Parts of Main Stories 38 & 39 have BiBi go to a petting zoo, and it's great. Good voices, especially for Maki, calling out Hanayo's signature "tasukete~!" and poutingly asking Nico to not be mean. Of course it all comes back to bite Nico and she spends the last bit whining in a good Nico voice. All give cute laughs during the excursion, too.

I look forward to seeing it in EN, since the translations have been pretty fun.

I think it's possible to get the SRs with just Normal, especially since you should get several levels, but it'll be a grind for sure. If you're just starting now, yeah, you might be out of luck without burning gems.

Hard is much more manageable for events. If you're at all close to being able to do Hard, I'd load up a healer team and use the event to improve, not worrying about score or the SRs, since it'll give you experience at a variety of songs and you'll get some portion of the event rewards.

Thanks for the advice, I ended up just sticking with hard and I'm now confused what I found so difficult. Just ticked over enough for the 2nd SR, so yay I guess. Spent like 5 gems though because I couldn't keep up with checking every three hours or whatever. I guess this gets much more manageable at higher level when you don't cap at two friggin songs stored?

I've tried to read some guides to understand what to do with the hundreds of girls stored in my mailbox. So far I've been idolizing each unique pair, maxing the bond, and then feeding the extras to a speicifc one to max it out. I got a story unlock for the bond bit, but there didn't seem to be a reward for leveling the character? Aside from the stats increase I guess. Is it just more efficient to feed max level normies to the actually used cards? Or am I wrong in this and I should just churn through the lot without worrying about it?

I sure hope the next event is a Caravan. I hate denying other people idols, and after using almost all my stamina on Grooves this past week, I need to get back to doing normal songs.

All in preparation for that wonderful day when I can regularly do Master. I still don't see how people can handle the default speed for Master. That seems waaay too fast for me.

I couldn't handle Pro on its usual speed, it was too slow. Then I upped the speed to like 7.5 and it worked a lot better. Now I play on 8.0 or 8.5 for every song.

9.0 is still too fast for me.

Glad to hear it! Yeah, it's much better at higher levels. Level 100 gives you 75 for 5 Hard/3 EX and more importantly a full night's sleep/day's work with little waste. The downside is fewer free stamina refills from level-ups, but that's a fine trade-off.

You get a gem for every... 25, I think? unique cards you max level. I max bond and max level everything before eating it, but I started much earlier when there weren't so many Ns, and now I can clear out new Ns & Rs I get in short order. Considering that my trouble has netted me only a dozen gems over the course of some two years... I wouldn't bother. If you don't want to hold onto or use the card, eat it as soon as you've maxed its bond. If you want to get those gems later, after you've gotten your actual teams maxed, you'll eventually get every N again. Playing for any length of time having to clear out your present box a handful of idols at a time to level your normies sounds nightmarish.

The higher speeds really help — I'm pretty much incapable of playing anything on master at a speed below 8, and generally the faster (or at least the busier) the song, the faster it'll go. Most things are 8.5, but something like Hi-Fi Days was pretty unmanageable until I set it to 8.8. Absolute NIne, fittingly enough, is a 9!

I still like grooves. But I also have a shitton of stamina drinks sitting in my box, so doing a few extra grooves above the 3-a-day somewhere sets me pretty comfortably above 60k. Plus setting aside that 50stam and then going off to do something else, knowing it's sitting there waiting for me to complete it while it also recharges feels nice.

I think it might be cheaper if you did that, but I don't remember off-hand how the math works for the cost. And obviously if the cost doesn't matter, it doesn't matter too much. That said, throwing a bunch of Ns into a couple makes it go by faster. I think (but I'm not quite certain) that a lv max N can bring another N's level up to max, so that's kinda handy. The level gets you a tick in the album (or technically a lvl/bond max version of the card), if that's your thing, in addition to the gems (they used to be spaces in your idol room, which was useful) at various milestone totals.

Yes.

Thank god I rarely turn up with something I want to actively level hanging out in there (plus SIF lets you filter by rarity, so you can refrain from collecting stuff you'd need to level, if having the extra space they'd take up would be useful).

[Ask] me about the present counter sticking at 99 in SIF, even when you have 200 goddamn normals hanging out in there.

Well, that's still far better than "beep boop you have too many cards you cannot play beep boop." That was pretty awful.
