Even if I had to look up one_{it's fine, we can pretend 876 doesn't exist, like everyone else does}

e. Oh hey, they're changing stamina in deresute so you can now just use items to increase your stamina to 2x max, as of 12 Dec. I guess that's nice, but it kinda makes those 1-day stamina drinks a mostly useless restriction, since you can just use it right away.

Does DS do the imas thing where you have 3 seconds to pick an answer? The only reason those don't ruin me in theatre days is because of the percentages _{except for matsuri, I made her run away by saying something about marshmallows}

Also they're rejiggering stuff about stamina items, but I didn't actually read that, because reading long texts in google translate is hell, doubly so on a phone. all the max stamina stuff now just does 100. Congrats, your stamina MAX drinks will be less good in a month. I guess they noticed all the hoarding. Didn't say anything about the 24 drinks, so who knows.

I played a bit of the translated SP, and three seconds is not really long enough to read the options in english. Although part of that is trying to figure out what the difference is between "Hello" and "Hello!," and which is better. It just gets worse with something more complicated than choosing the right "good morning."

while we're on the subject: in SIF, you can spend 5 blue tickets for a pull with an 20% to be a UR, or you can spend 25 of them for a guaranteed UR. Zep has contended that pulling for the latter does not deserve death, but getting a UR in 5 of the former does. Thoughts?

Do all the rival cards do that AP/DP switching thing? It's really annoying.

Luckily since they're giving away a ton of fan letters and stuff I can make Shiho beat the hell out of whoever every 5th turn.

Polsy posted:

Yeah. They just do that in half the events to make life harder for you encourage you to develop a DP team because otherwise there's not really any point.

Vitamean posted:

If you've obtained five blue tickets from five really poor rolls and pull a UR, maybe it doesn't deserve a die.

If you get your 5th ticket from a good pull and then pull a UR you deserve whatever bullying you get.

If only I had cards that upped DP instead of just attack…

Ah well, it's not like in mobamas where I have plenty of SRs, so there's no way to make those battles go any faster anyway.

quote:

The corners were.
1) Every member showed a clip of their favorite scene.
2) Majority vote (audience and Aqours are given 2 options, and change their glowsticks to the color they want to vote for)
3) A session where the Aqours talk about a topic in a few of the messages gathered before the event
I got spoiled on some S2 stuff cause of 1.
Clips chosen by each were as follows.
Mari: The SHINY dish at the beach house.
Yohane: The childhood scene of her and Maru, and then the two of them + Chika re-enacted the scene with Anju trying to pull of Chika's blank stair from the clip
Riko: Riko pretending to be a kaiju???? From S2. They re-enacted this too, with Anju once again trying to pull off Chika's "Uh...." look.
Chika: Her monologue in S1 E6, after (?) the song.
Ruby: The onsen scene where Ruby is sitting under the water fall-like contraption.
You: The scene from S2 where Dia calls her Yo-chan. They re-enacted this too, complete with Yoshiko's VA standing in the background like she was in the scene. The other members provided the BGM that plays when You lets go of the balloons.
Kanan: The haunted house scene or whatever where she's pretending not to be scared. They re-enacted this scene too, with Maru's VA playing the part of the pillar / wall that Kanan leaned on.
Dia: Ruby welcoming Dia to Aqours. Didn't re-enact after the clip, but as the clip was playing Ruby's VA did the motions by handing Dia her towel.

quote:

Hanamaru: The scene from S1 E13 where the 1st years talk to each other before the live and Yoshiko hugs Ruby and Hanamaru.
The majority vote was loving hilarious.
First vote was would you rather have a photo collection of a) the VAs sleeping faces or b) the VAs winking.
First option won but they showcased both, with Hanamaru's VA holding the camera and getting close-ups of everyone.
I don't remember the order of the other options, but there was also.
Would you rather see a) a hug from the front or b) a hug from behind?
All the Aqours chose a) except Dia, who chose b).
So Kanan's VA hugged everyone, but when it was Dia's turn.
She turned her back to Kanan.
So she could get a backhug.
And then the last person to get a hug was You.
And she kept hugging You.
And the other girls complained.
And then there was the next album cover will a) be drawn by Rikako or b) no pictures, just text and numbers.
Sorta obvious.
What everyone voted.

quote:

But all the Aqours members drew a concept art.
For the album.
Rikako's won.
Obviously.
Ruby'a VA.
Was the main MC / host.
Of the event.
Since she's the one representing Korea.
So she was the one who talked the most and sat in the middle.
Also Yohane's schtick of correcting everyone who says Yoshiko never gets old.
Because.
One of the cast referred to her as Yoshiko.
Er, Yoshiko-chan.
So she said, Yohane!~
And then the interpreter.
Translating, said Yoshiko-chan.
So she looked at the interpreter.
And said it again.
It was hilarious.

quote:

Man it was so good.
The interpreter was the same one who was at Rippi's live.
I suppose it makes sense, since Rippi's birthday fan meet
Was also by Amuse Korea.
They had 3 interpreters during the corners, 1 person for 3 members each.
But she was the main interpreter.
It's pretty hard for them, cause a good number of audience members.
Knew enough Japanese to understand and react.
So they cheer.
Before the interpreters can speak.
Sometimes.
I wasn't very impressed with her during Rippi's fan meet.
But she did a lot better this time around.
Also I wasn't able to buy anything.
Apparently people were gathered at the venue since dawn.
And everything got sold out be noon.
From what I'm reading.

quote:

Also fun thing.
We did the wave thing.
During Happy Party Train and Aquarium.
Anyways, as I was standing in line, some fans were giving out pamphlets.
Lemme take a picture.

quote:

So they could roll up the pamphlets and wave those instead.
Yes.
Plus the pamphlets have instructions in both Korean + Japanese.
As well as how arrows pointing how the wave should go, and which part of the arena should be doing the wave.
Apparently this is the first successful case of the single-line wave in HPT?
Er, the Kanan Rail?
It was a neat thing.
Planned by the community.
Most everyone had glowsticks though.
Obviously.
Also the last song played was also decided by glowstick vote.
There were 4 options.
And you had to use your glowstick.
To choose the song you wanted.
The cast also incorporated basic Korean phrases.
Which was really nice.
Everyone loved that stuff obviously.
It was just a really good thing.
I was really pissed yesterday cause of work but this really cheered me up.

quote:

All the VIP and Arena seats were taken (obviously).
There was a total of 3078 seats, but not all of them were filled, the ones in the far back were pretty blank.
VIP: 308
Arena: 560
R: 1,242
S: 968
Most of the R were fool, don't think there were too many S seats.
Taken.
*full

Hi I'm copying and pasting my thoughts on the Aqours tour.

Thanks for this! I went too, but I don't speak any Japanese and my Korean is trash so I couldn't follow a lot of the talky bits. Did you go to the afternoon or evening show? I was wondering if they read different messages for the 3rd corner (the only message I understood from the evening show was a request to play the당연하지 game).
