Who nico nico needs anyone else

I've posted about it here and there, mostly in the discord, but as you perhaps know, I had a fun Japan adventure over the last week and a half! I did come cool stuff, saw some temples and poo poo, but lets get to what's really important: idols! On my first day there, there just happened to be a big ol' Love Live only doujin event, Bokura no Love Live 15. Yes, really, coincidence (though I certainly checked the dates I was going to be there for any good doujin events). It was awesome!



This is probably about a third of the space, something over 500 circles in all. Great atmosphere, everyone there to have a good time and buy/sell cute things.



I bought a lot of cute doujs! I managed to hit most of the circles I was interested in, though Mezashi sold out too quick :(. But! I got more than I expected, and more besides that I hadn't been looking for. I'll set aside for now the fact that I apparently missed several of the artists I follow because I didn't realize they were there because they didn't post about it on pixiv until the day prior :argh:

I wasn't terribly ambitious about conversing with folks, but I was able to make my way through basic "uh, I don't have a catalog, where should I be?" sorts of interactions, and I'm proud of myself. Heck, that applies to the whole trip, I was broadly able to understand folks, and was able to make myself understood when I needed to. Also I was able to navigate places and stores that weren't set up to handle foreigners, which was neat, and enabled me to find more cute doujs later.

I did various other things that aren't relevant here, but along the way I made a few stops by Akiba and Nakano Broadway, mostly with the friend I was visiting who doesn't know much Japanese and got bored when I was just sifting through doujs for too long, but on my last day (I guess that's still yesterday for me), after he had to report back to the ship, I stopped by Toranoana and Melonbooks for a few hours before my flight and properly looked through their doujinshi. Anyway, I bought a lot of stuff!



Lots of things for the Dia shrine, lots more doujs, and lots of other little things! I was originally happy with the first Sunshine shirt I bought, but then I found the previously-too-rich-for-my-blood Dia shirt for 40% off, and I couldn't resist getting it too. Final douj tally: 23 OG LL, only 5 of which aren't nicomaki; 15 Sunshine, across a variety of ships; 1 crossover RikoMaki; and 2 AnKira. I think I'm going to be purchasing a scanner soon.

Oh, also I visited Kanda Myojin!



Seriously this sounds and looks like so much fun. I remain thoroughly jealous of your excellent adventures.

Yeah pretty much. You'll get gems from FC'd songs hard and above, the band and story commus, and each card has 2 commus in it too that'll give you gems and a slight stat boost. Daily gems haven't been bad so far, and you missed the twins' birthday a few days ago, but we'll see how daily bonuses work out in the long run.

Multiplayer might finally be stable too? Also there's a 1000 free compensation gems sitting in everyone's boxes so everyone should have enough or almost enough to do their 10- rolls now. The box isn't marked for whatever reason.

I noticed yesterday when I got my login bonus that the box said '2' even though it turned out it had the day before's still in it too, I guess that's going to be another of those minor issues. I'm not sure why they even bother having a present box when everything is automatically collected, except the login bonus, and I guess special giveaways like this.

I have to update the app before I can do anything now but I'll see how multiplayer is later.

:h::h::h:Alhamdulillah-chan:h::h::h:
The item box is sorta broken, in that sometimes it also doesn't bother showing the ② when there's anything in it.

Anyway I messed around with the multiplayer last night, it now a) works, b) is really damned quick, and c) has even more stickers!

Well, it still timed out and broke once at the results screen, but that's better than before. Oh, also as a caveat, every time you play in single player, it sets the band you use as your main band, so your center from that band will be the character you use online unless you go and re-set the main band. But hey, at least everyone in your band gets XP at the end, it seems.

I also got a shiny 4star rimi, but now I'm torn because having a healer is pretty useful, and you can't have two of the same person in a band, because that's silly. But on the other hand I looked and I have like a million tickets, so at least leveling things up can go quickly.

I don't think you'll find any YOU hats in reputable shops. They're being sold on the official online store. You'd probably have to hunt for a bootleg version. Alternatively, it's such a simple design, you could probably get a YOU hat made stateside cheaper than buying it in Japan.

Donno if having an account number'll help, unless klab's feeling helpful. I feel like maybe they could be persuaded to help you if you don't have the transfer key, but I might be thinking of a different game.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was Klab that a year or so ago had a series of news posts saying "seriously like a million people are asking for help transferring their accounts, loving use the passcode." So uh, maybe if you shoot them an email they'll be willing to help?

e. Oh yeah also there's an event in bang dream now. I kinda like that you only get event points if you have fires, that's a reasonable enough compromise, I guess. The bonus point thing is kinda weird though. There's a bonus attribute and also bonus characters, who give different values of bonus?
Also hi 1pt "score bonus" lol. Maybe once I level up these not-1-star people or stop sucking I will be able to touch a B.

That sucks, friend :( :( :(

I know some have had luck with emailing them, providing proof that the account is theirs: receipts from gem purchases, screenshots of their roster, etc. Although, as Zeno said, they did issue an announcement a while back saying they were going to be less forgiving about such things. Good luck!

The worst part about bang dream's account system is that the user-name it autogenerates uses mixed-case "i" and "l"s.

I would not have known this, except I copied it into a program that uses a fixed-width typeface.

So uh yeah, when it autogenerates a username, actually use the copy button, don't just take a screenshot~

Even though they fixed multiplayer, sometimes it still gets pretty hosed. Although I think this first one might fall into the same category as the various song select fuckups
the only functional bit there is the sliver of song select on the right
good work team~

Anyway, it's totally worth doing netplay for the event, just look at that nice, decent score bonus you get! The per-song rewards still go on your individual score for the song, but for the event point score bonus it uses the combined total.


Also for the great names



I especially like how this guy managed a hat trick




Also, leveling up the event Syouko is hilarious because she looks so loving weird when you take out Mirei and Nono hanging on her.

Yeah, I haven't managed that first one yet, that's kind of impressive. I did get the second one, but not with a full team, just one person, the full combo caught my eye then I thought 'wait a minute...'

It's pretty obviously not worth playing single player event point-wise so I'm glad they got the multiplayer fixed before the event started.

Yeah, sometimes when someone drops the game doesn't actually manage to return to the lobby select screen. Usually it just hangs, that time I guess someone dropped as the song select was sliding in.

Incidentally, I forgot about "new game first event" hell. I looked at my rank and was very sad.

Oh also in case you've somehow managed not to, dying in multiplay just stops your score from going up any further or something. Which is great, because you'll probably miss a bunch more notes trying to figure out what the hell that tiny pulsing text in the corner says.

Well, it's fine none of my 3-stars are evolved/max leveled, so I'm not contributing that much anyway. Even with a fc on hard, someone else'll have double my score at the same difficulty…
