What are /r/SchoolIdolFestival's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I would have so many things to say, but words can't accurately convey my feelings. Nico, you have been one of the biggest parts of my life for almost three years now, and I've never thought I would ever be as happy as I am now. Thank you so much for helping me through my darkest times, thank you for being my ray of sunshine when I needed one the most. Thank you for showing me that your dreams are always achievable, thank you for being strong for me when I couldn't be. Thank you for your passion towards what you like the most, thank you for your smile lighting up the galaxy! Thank you for loving µ's more than anyone, and I will follow your footsteps and cherish them forever like nobody else. Thank you for being the #1 Idol in the universe. Thank you so much, Nico Yazawa, for everything you've shown and taught me. I owe you my life, and I love you so much more than words can say. I know that feeling isn't shared by everyone, but I shall love you the most I can, enough for all the people who constantly hate on you.
From one happy girl to another, thank you. ♥

One day I was asked, "Why do you love Nico so much?".

My shrine to you!♥

As a bonus, I've had the honor to have made today's r/SIF banner. Thank you /u/GrygrFlzr for letting me pour all my love for Nico in this! The banner contains every Nico card in the game, in both unidolized and idolized forms. Have you found your favorite Nico on the banner yet?♥

Here's the link to the download in the App Store https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/id1273636724

and this is the .apk for android users https://apkpure.com/%E3%81%B7%E3%81%A1%E3%81%90%E3%82%8B%E3%83%A9%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96%EF%BC%81/jp.co.pokelabo.puchiguru

I’m kind of upset about this. Limited cards are already a cash-grab by their very nature and adding new OP skills sounds like they’re also trying to pressure F2P and goldfish players to scout in order to maintain song ranking. And the art is just recycled bluray covers that lack the same style and detail as regular SIF URs... nah, KLab can miss me with this scheme of theirs. I’m not scouting for a glorified promo, even if it means giving up on my consistent score T1 streak. Dammit, if you’re going to kill your game in favour of All Stars, at least let it die with grace.

I’m just putting this out there, but if you’re unhappy with this development, don’t buy gems and scout thinking it’ll be a one-time thing. The playerbase voted with their wallets for the Step Zero to One limited badge and KLab responded with three limited Happy Party Train badges. The game encourages short-term gratification though, so I doubt my comment will dissuade anyone from scouting in this box. Anyone is free to scout whatever they want, but just know that KLab will see the numbers and add even more OP cards to keep the power creep going.

Edit: fine, downvote me if you want. I don’t see what there is to disagree with in my comment though.

The first half is lyrics from μ's final song Moment Ring and is represented with μ's centers, and at the second half it transitions to Aqours centers, and wishing the best of luck with turning "Zero to One" (also had reference to You's catchphrase Yousoro~)

"Worth the risk" - scout an UR from a soloyolo (would green tickets count?)

"Start: Dash!!" - gain the event SR card In less than 3 hours (or like 1 hour for token events)

"Wonderful Rush" - gain x amount of point in an event under an hour

"Tri-color" - get non promo tricolor URs

"Better together" - get a UR pair

"We are one light" - play bokutachi wa hitotsu no hikari with a team of 9 μ's UR (one of each girl)

"Step Zero to One" - Tier an event for the first time (or play your first aqours song)

"Sayounara e Sayonara!" - Viewing the final chapter of μ's story

"Isn't is frustrating?" - either miss only one note on a master song, or fail a master song (by not hitting any notes?)

"Dedicated fan" - login everyday for a month

"An immeasurable love" - login everyday for a year

That ending in Omoi Yo Hitotsu Ni Nare is insane, took me like 11 tries to get that right and when I did it was pretty much luck. If I see it on a medley I know it'll be the combo breaker, even if Step Zero to One and Strawberry Trapper are the other two songs.

Hey hey, welcome back! I was starting to get a bit worried about you, hope you feel a bit better soon~ Maybe try to get some more rest if possible.

Thank you for your predictions, as always. I was preparing to go clear all rewards this event but if t1 is really that low I might just go to the 2nd/3rd last rewards. Glad that Step Zero to One is finally out for now, so my grinding is a bit easier...Or less anger inducing. I almost had a hernia saying with full power in my voice "I love getting kicked from 200th place song rankings, to 1200th place. In two matches. I love it"

Aight. Well, for starters, please remember that the most information we have about Aqours is a grand total of : three songs, one live event with the seiyuus, and a short character introduction. We don't even have any solos yet; it's hard to judge their voices to any degree.

You probably wouldn't have felt what you do for muse right now if that was all you knew about them, either.

I personally am excited for Aqours; I think they have a lot of potential. I like the sea side setting and I like the more mature sound of the group (no offence to those who prefer it, but I'm kinda tired of squeaker/peeper type voices and singing). Step! Zero to One is easily one of my favourite songs atm.

The one thing I'm not terribly enthused about is the character designs (certain characters, like dia, kanan and riko, are fairly interchangeable); but, then again, early official art and designs for muse wasn't that great either.

Just give them time. They haven't even had an anime or a proper album yet! Stop dismissing something you know almost nothing about out of paranoia for what it might be; it's silly and unproductive.

Junai Lens & Heart to Heart are the only ones I have yet to FC in the Hits section. But I would include in the list Zurui Yo Magnetic Today, Strawberry Trapper, Watashitachiha mirai no hana, Step Zero to One, and It's our miraculous time

According to Google Play, it's 4.1.4.

Edit: iTunes update is live...but it was weird. First there was 4.1.3, then all of a sudden there was 4.1.4? I had to update twice.

/u/-RENuest, yes, the screenshot is dark because I'm using an application called Bluelight Filter. I turn it on when I'm in a dim room so when I look at my phone screen for long periods of time, it doesn't strain my eyes. c:

Step Zero to One Random is just sheer hell and I think excluding B-sides it's up there with Heart to Heart, Zurui, and Watashitachi wa Mirai no Hana for hardest.

Easiest is definitely Moshimo Kara Kitto.

SM26's song lineup!

ALL DIFFICULTIES:

 

Comment down songs you get for me please, so I could compile the table as fast as I could!

As a huge fan of Aqours' debut album, this was an amazing surprise. I saw your post in the event megathread and was like... no way...

I may have put my JP accounts on haitus, but this song will be enough reason to log in occasionally just to play it, especially if they add Step! Zero to One and Aqours☆Heroes.

As for them adding the cards: I highly doubt it, it's too late into the game's lifespan to make such a drastic change.

Edit: Look at all the downvotes (I had to upvote to counter it). Just because people don't like the idea of Aqours existing in SIF, they downvote anyone who posts saying they like them. I think some people need a lesson on how Reddit works. Try hovering your mouse over the downvote arrow, it says "Not relevant information", not "I don't like this". The topic is Aqours in SIF, so it's relevant. Class dismissed. (◕‿◕✿)

http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20140731T12&p0=1440&msg=EN+Honoka+End

Currently Rank 4, can't wait for the event to end to work on cuddly Honoka. Have plenty of maxed out smile Ns to fatten her up with. Honk honk nya~

Aww, I decided to take a shower before posting the notice and you beat me. Thanks for posting it!

Anyway, it's exciting to see TW's not rushing the sets like EN is. Hopefully this applies to events as well!

Also, since I've already been asked a couple times: here is the link to the updated APK for those who need it!

I just played around with my extractions and I got the following timings

I tend to time songs early so my offset might be lower than the "real" offset (but I mean, I used my best headphones to try to time it as best as I could). Sky Journey is definitely the worst by a long shot. /u/Kane_SIF I always felt that S021 was timed well but that may be because I tap early -- it appears 021 has notes that appear slightly early (8 ms isn't really bad though). Sunshine Pikka isn't great but it's better than Sky Journey. Landing Action's alright but it isn't perfect.

Agreed, best girl and story wise μ's is better but for overall character and song Aqours is already surpassed them for me

I mean i'd take playing Zero to One 100 times than playing Yuujo no Change 10 times, seriously the earlier μ's song is quite boring

I don't like the Aquors songs :(

Maybe it's nostalgia talking here, but I don't find the beat maps fun at all and timing seems super wonky. Usually when I miss notes is cause I screwed up and I know I did. I'm -apparently- missing notes in these songs that I have no idea why I missed them.

Not to mention that I'm currently at 8k points and I've only see two songs. Zero to One and some generic smile song. </bitter>

Maybe they'll grow on me eventually. :/

You could try AZ screen recorder it runs smoothly on my phone and it records the sound of the game, the screen itself + your voice (if you say something).

ANN Article It translates the scenes as well as announces its worldwide release.... time to call my local premium theatre I mean they had Madoka:Rebellion, Expelled from Paradise and a few others. So I have a chance.

I prefer muse events because of the bigger span of musics they have right now. Also, in the smaller aqours setlist, they need to repeat some songs in different events, what means that is more likely I'll play beatmaps I hate, like Zero to One, Strawberry Trapper and Waku Waku Week.

Aqours beatmaps in general! If youre training to move to EX I'd especially recommend Step Zero to One and Aqours Heroes onhard mode.
Training 9* up though, I think beatmaps like Angelic Angel, Kimi no Kuse Ni and Sentimental steps are the best to start off with. Each one has some difficult parts (by hard-mode standards) but stay chill enough to be able to prepare for them accordingly.

(seeing I can't find it I guess I'll do it)

Slowly getting used to the Aquors songs and building bond points for all the new Aquors cards, but man, I don't remember getting wrecked this hard since I started playing EX for the first time. I think most of the songs in the pool are alright with the exception of the Cool song (Step Zero to One). I know I played this a while ago pre-4.0 and I had managed to FC this somehow, but I'm beginning to think that was either a fluke last time or I was rocking PL teams or something, because I'm getting my ass handed to me by this beatmap now.

On a different note, unlocking this mini-presents box after every song is super addictive. I'm always looking forward to getting new skills from the boxes to buff my teams, but they do like to give me gold and friend points more often than not. I managed a few basic skills and even an SR support once. Does anybody know what the best thing you can get from one of these boxes are? The aforementioned SR support is the best I've seen so far.

This is me completely. When it was announced, I thought I'd just wait until the anime airs until I formed an opinion about them. Then I heard their first single, and I was really impressed, with Step Zero to One jumping into my top 10 love livee songs immediately. Then it just kinda kept on going from there, and now instead of patiently waiting for the anime, July can't come soon enough.

Side note: I really hope that the personalities shown in the radio dramas come through in the anime, as they were all hilarious, especially Mari's general craziness, and Chika and her crappy puns that no one else in the group cares about.

Normal (non-pitched) version: here

Messages from the group: here

You can see on the upper-left that there is a pointer indicating that the user is holding the "Switch Apps" button. In the regular/non-rooted Android, holding that button does nothing, modifying that button's function requires modification to the SystemUI which can only (safely) achieve by using Xposed framework and a module that modifies it.

Ah, it’s a shame they could only read one letter but at least, since the hashtag exists, I can go read the rest in my own time!

...It was a surprise to see my letter there. I was quite worried I overdid it. But I was happy writing it, they seemed happy to read it, happiness all around. That’s what matters, right?
~~...Yeah I’m WhiskerWitch; adding my reddit name didn’t occur to me until after I finished the banner orz I have some proof in the form of the banner file info on Medibang app, here and here if that’s believable.~~

I thought that some people on this sub might be interested in reading this interview now that it's been translated into English! It's not the best translation, with somewhat awkward/broken English occasionally, but it's understandable. The original can be viewed here in Japanese.

Also, it's not related to the interview in particular, but in one of the recent end of year TV specials (starting about 28 minutes in), each of the seiyuu announced their objectives for 2015. Soramaru and Mimorin both talked a bit about their trip to Singapore for AFA 2014 and stated that they want to do a live show overseas! Anyway, I just wanted to mention that. :)

If this file doesn't work for you, try this one: apkpure

Please stop giving me Step! Zero to One It's like 3 out of 10 songs I get is that song. And worse part, for some reason, I kept missing on notes that I am positively sure I hit it. And then 6 out of 10 songs I get are Cool songs. My Cool team is terrible.

Finally, my future least favorite event type is here. FC'ing songs is a small miracle with this abomination of a phone, so I already feel sorry for everyone who gets matched with me on combo missions. I don't mind it anymore, I'm used to it, but this is a co-op event, so...

And now I even have to stop practicing EX songs for ten days, since most of the songs in the pool are 10-stars. I'm perfectly fine with 9-star songs, but I haven't really tried any 10-star song yet, except for one time during the last Score Match when I decided to play a single EX match and got traumatized for life after getting Step! Zero to One.

So now I'll have to settle for Hard, which is miserable after finally getting the hang of the easier half of EX songs and only playing them for the past week.

This event really HAD to come during my transition phase. Please, give me ChalFes or another Token event.

Also, sorry for all the negativity, this is just frustrating <_<

Excited for Happy Party Train to repeatedly kick my ass. Been wanting to practice it so this will be a good opportunity.

Otherwise I find this song pool somewhat meh. I'm so over Mijuku Dreamer. I used to love that song, I hate that the beatmap is so boring. :( Wish we could start getting some of the newer songs into WW event rotation.

EDIT: Also ready for Step Zero to One and Kimetayo Hand in Hand to absolutely destroy my attempts at T1 song score. Both those songs are cursed for me. Can't wait to die bring it on krab

It's funny how once I really don't need the luck for Score T1, the game hands me Step Zero to One with Score boost immediately.

I could've used that kind of luck for the last 10 events, but thanks I guess.

Yeah Love Live songs hit a lot of different genres. Anoneganbare always reminds me of Spaghetti Western style mariachi. Tbh though, that one in particular always gives me a vibe not unlike a Tarantino movie.

Then you've got stuff like Step Zero to One that has a distinct Calypso/Soca influence, Aki no Anata no Sora Tooku has elements of Surf Rock, After School Navigators could easily pass off as a Lamb of God or Machine Head song (at least instrumentally). The day that Love Live does shoegaze will be the day I can die happy

The Secret to Step Zero to One, Head banging like a madman and springy fingers. Also you need to move your body from side to side to the beat and remember the skills you've learned in Suki desu ga Suki desu ka. The most important thing is to feel the music, not struggle. Also, earphones.

~~The weirdest tip of the day~~

If you don't have Psychic Fire on there, you gotta have it! Nothing gets me pumped like Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi~ And since you're open to Aqours, you definitely should grab both of Guilty Kiss's singles, as well as CYaRon!'s if you like their voices. Koi Ni Naritai Aquarium and STEP Zero to One and Heroes are also all pretty upbeat. In fact, really the only non-upbeat non-subunit Aqours song is Mattete Aino Uta but it is such a good song you might wanna consider it despite that? Junai Lens is good for motivation and is described as being for cheering people on! Also, can't forget Natsuiro Egao de 1, 2 Jump, a classic and talks about acheiving your dreams/dreams coming true. Ah, I got a little carried away with this. But I hope you do well in the marathon! Please let us know how it goes! EDIT: Also, Suki Desu ga, Suki Desu ka? is a pretty upbeat one as well as Super LOVE=Super LIVE which is good for the pure M's feeling of hurrying towards a goal. Zurui no Magnetic Today maybe? The third years single from the movie, ? <- Heartbeat is also quite good, in my opinion.

> Private Wars was unacceptable but Step Zero to One Hard was actually a pretty promising example of that.

I'm going to disagree with this one. They need some to release some easy EX once in a while so Private Wars happen.

What I agree is that they should much harder once in a while. I think the only harder one we have is like Jun Ai Lens and Zurui Yo over the entire year? We can count Spicaterrible / Watashi wa Mira no Hana but I think these are still 1 tier below the hardest ones

I am currently using this and it works perfectly fine. LoveLive! LP Notification. Check it out and if you're planning to make a better version of that, I would be more than willing to use yours. How great of you to put in the time to make one.

Well, I guess that's it for me. TT ^ TT I tried really hard but in the end, I have to return to real life. I feel like the clock has struck midnight and the magic is done but it's too soon to leave the ball. Dx ^^help^me^^sheeptoriiiiiiiiiiiii~

It wouldn't have been a problem if it was same as the Japanese dates since I could've requested that week off but with the late notice and everything... Ugh... KLab, why...

I knew this had to happen but I guess I was in denial. Here's hoping I can stay in top 10 at least! ;w;

Source!

Hey OP, just a heads up, you can use services like SauceNAO to find the original artist and link to their page so they get the credit for their work.

iPhone 6s *iOS 9.3 *Specs! *SIF Performance: Only lag that exists for me is messages and calls. Not notifications nor whatsapp messages. The vanilla messages and calls will cause a long 1 second frame freeze. *Comments: The phone is great the screen size allows for single handed left to right swipe. Been using this phone for about 2 years without upgrading the OS the phone has been lag free. Only complaint would be the fixed storage space that apple devices never seem to offer. iOS Do-Not-Disturb function has been very effective in blocking out notifications while using the phone. Oh and IT HAS A HEADPHONE JACK!

Hm... you'll need an editing program which allows you to create more than one layer when you want to add an UR/SR/R count and a frame... (Personally my to go program would be Sony Vegas but it's understandable that you don't want to spend money on a one time thing)

The thing is, most free video editing programs only allow one or sometimes two layers... but I found this one: kdenlive. I have no experience with it but it seems that you can create several layers so maybe you can give it a shot? There is also a page with tutorials.

Good luck with the video and I hope you'll get Taisho Hanayo!!

My favorite song? Futari Hapinees and Psychic Fire, Future Style, Kore Kara, Loveless World, Step Zero to One, Thrilling One Way, Daydream Warrior, all the songs of love live xD, my favorite chart? Definitely Kokuhaku Biyori, Pure Girls Project, Unbalanced Love, Cutie Panther and Loveless World in Master :D

Me in this event :

>Good news : Didn't get many Mijuku Dreamer

>Bad news : Didn't get many Zero to One either... (seriously it's just 2/3 times on the first 2 days and that's it)

You gain some you lose some i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit : And of course after saying that the next two song i get is Mijuku and Zero to One...

And turn out i can easily get 850k in Zero to One without Score boost ugh... ~~RNG where are you?~~

Finally got the Step Zero to One FC!

The songs just too damn catchy and I always started dancing when I played it, which caused e to miss notes, lol.

Also I was pushing for 38k, but with the extra day, I ight as well push to 40k... That should be enough. I'll still be coming out ahead on gems too. Which is a plus, because I'm saving for that Yohanne UR.

AWW YES I finally FC'd all non-daily EX songs! The very last one being Step Zero to One, which went from B combo to S combo. Very fitting!

Now to tackle the BIG 4 Dailies... If I have to rank them: Otomeshiki > BiA > NicoPuri > SolGe

Sliding in at 12th for the day which I'm sure I've already lost by the time I post this.

It's going to suck to go back to crap combos when the next song rotation hits. I just finally got used to the songs today. I still routinely screw up Step Zero to One, but I think I've gotten to the point of somewhat consistently FCing everything else.

I feel that. I've loved the song since I first heard it months ago, but damn this beatmap is slaughtering me. I've barely managed to max bond any of my cools since the event began (my smiles are getting a lot of bond points though) because I can't combo Zero to One to save my life.

I feel the opposite- I think the beatmaps for EX match the songs extremely well. That being said, these songs are extremely challenging. I still have problems with newer Muse beatmaps, so it's a struggle for me to survive some of the Aquors songs. I'm actively dodging Step Zero to One because of this.

Although Step Zero to One is the only song of theirs that I really enjoy, I do agree that, as a group, Aquors sound a bit more harmonized than Muse does in a lot of their group songs. On the flipside of that, I can't tell who's singing what at all unlike I can with Muse since they do blend so well together, so you could say that's a major difference in their styles as well. I imagine once their solos hit we'll see their equivalent of the Kotori Voice™ or the Hanayo Voice™.

As far as Nozomi and Nico are concerned... well, IMO, they have very specific niches that they fit well into at the exclusion of others LMAO. They're both great 'speech' singers (Trouble Busters, After School Navigators, Junai Lens, Otomeshiki) but tend to sound awkward when they're actually trying to carry a melody. Nozomi especially definitely sounds better when she's paired with stronger voices like Rin's and Umi's -- Anone Ganbare is a great example of both her spoken style and her more demure sounding singing that makes me wonder why she doesn't use that tone of voice more often (it probably clashes too much with Nozomi's character/sounds too unlike her? the seiyuus do go to great length to reflect their voice acting in their singing as well after all, which you touched on RE: Hanayo and Kotori's higher pitch).

I'm not a huge fan of either of them, but put them in their element and they really sound amazing despite not being the best all-around singers of the group.

EDIT: wow what a tangent ANYWAY I ENJOY THEM BOTH FOR THEIR OWN REASONS and I look forward to seeing how Aquors' members do on their own songs

There's a Q&A thread but if you have an android, someone made an app called SIF Train. You'll need to look at the wiki and load the beatmaps and music yourself, IIRC. There should be a Japanese app too but I'm not sure about the name of it off the top of my head and what it does is take videos from YouTube and let you tap, so it's less intuitive, I think?

Another option would be to have a separate account all together to use as a practice account, that way you could mess up without worrying. If you look up songs on YouTube there should be a couple that have smaller screens on them that help with timing/the beat but I personally just look at the actual videos and tap along. You'll git good, promise.

Well, you can download KR SIF easily.

Just copy Google Play Link and download the apk with this website.

/u/love_rin_bell /u/Woobie-chan FYI I am currently working on the next version of SIFAM, which will add a built-in screenshot function, which makes it possible to macro taking screenshots on any device, including emulators like Nox that lack built-in screenshot capabilities.

Edit: actually the current version of SIFAM already supports screenshooting, however you will need to have a third party Xposed module installed in order to use it, the Gesture Based Nav module. So you can use this for now.

For rootcloak to work, you need to install it via Xposed Framework, so first flash Xposed, then install rootcloak with xposed and finally enable the rootcloak module.

Restart your phone, Install sif or, if you have it already installed, first uninstalll it and then reintsall (DON'T FORGET TO SETUP YOUR RECOVERY ID AND PASSWORD BEFORE WIPING YOUR DATA).

Before starrting the game for the first time, go to rootcloak and add the love live sif to the list of "cloaked" apps. If you did everything ok, SIF will launch normally without any limitation.

Here are the link to Xposed Framework, just be sure to check the compatibility with your android version

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

:D

Green Man Gaming has a "mystery game for 20p" thing going on. I got a game I already own, so Steam code: KJVT2 7260? BCAFL

Replace the spaces with -s and the ? is a letter, have fun.

I think you want to re-root your phone with Magisk. The built-in Magisk Hide will help you hide your root. And you still can use Google Play Games to transfer your account.

Thank you!

All the workhorse functions and calculations are written in R and the app is written and produced with the 'shiny' package for R. The package creates the final HTML-js kinda web app.

Thank you for the offer for hosting! To host the app the server needs to be running a shiny server. I'm more of an end-user so I have no idea how to deploy that. Right now I'm focused on fixing any bugs that appear and seeing how much load this app is creating.

Will it be alright if I contact you again later regarding hosting? It will be a great to have a mirror site!

If you're on Android, never uninstalled the app, and the account created with the app installation is the account in question, you can try App Detective. It shows you when an app was first installed.

Obligatory end of event report, made my way to Rank 276 just 24 short from my goal 300 Rank in 3 years, if all goes well then i'll make it in time~

And i don't really find this event boring like many people claimed before, sure the song pool is small but hell even in that small pool i never get that perfect combination of Zero to One and Score Up, increasing the song pool will make the matter worse, if there's something to improve then it's the score ranking system first.

Finally crawled into the tail end of T1 with 50k points. I still haven’t been able to break my current Step!! Zero to One score which is more than a little disheartening, but what can you do. Rng sucks. So far I haven’t gotten a single Score Up boost on a challenge song so I’m not gonna hold my breath.
Suoer hyped for Eli’s step up scouting in 30 minutes! Here’s hoping lots of cute harashos come home.

Step Zero to One, speaking of the beatmap only. I like enough the song, but the beatmap is hell for me. I can hit all the notes, just not when the game wants me to.

My most disliked song to play is Colorful Voice. I don't like the song, I don't like the drumroll at the start, it should end way sooner than it does. Other songs might have a difficult beatmap but I enjoy playing them or listening to them regardless, Colorful Voice is the only one that makes me want to close the game.

It doesnt even fit that much with the outfits from the cover, but Soldier Event Cool Girls for SolGe would be fun

Im fully expecting Step Zero to One to get the Cheerleader Aqours set.

Aqours Halloween for Guilty Night Guilty Kiss would be an absolute joy, plus they are the only Subunit that got matching outfits there so it fits perfectly

I want to see Cafe Maid idolized for something, Loneliest Baby is the first thing that comes to mind.

The more "beachy" songs like the Mermaid Festas and Storm in Lover have so many sets to choose from tbh. August, Mermaid, both Pool sets and maybe even Dancer.

I can no longer think of Takaramonos without the Fruits Set because of the damn Muse loading screen!

China Dress seems to be pretty popular with Kaguya Shiro from what Ive seen (And Angelic Angel if the original isnt available)

I like either Taisho Romance or Kunoichi for Datte Datte Aa Mujou

Ah nothing like getting around to compiling your score match data from screenshots only to find out your check for total points is off one 2nd place. Thhhenn I spent 30mins+ going through my screenshots thinking "what did I add twice" only to realise I didn't check my other check column and accidentally a 2. /facepalm.

Some interesting stuff I found:

• My first and second places have been even ever since MMR kicked in and when you weight my placing, it turns out to be a "stable in 2nd place" situation.

• There are certain songs following me around, namely Genki Zenkai Day! and Step Zero to One. For their set they came out 50% of the time, when it should be a 1/3 split.

• I'm shit at Omoiyo with no FCs (which confuses me since I don't remember it being hard)

• For Aozora Jumping Heart I have a 0/10 1st place streak, with a 70% FC rate.

<strong>Link</strong> to anyone that wants to take a looksee.

I did this for the last SM so I'm going to take a good comparison once the event is over.

Wonder Zone EX! Still working on the master version, but I'm getting there :) Yuuki no Reason always gets me in a good groove. Same with Yume Kataru Yori Yume Utaou and Angelic Angel.

Step! Zero to One is probably my fav beatmap in the entire game.

I completely understand what you mean, STEP: Zero to One has a lot of short hold notes, which can make the beat feel odd. The only song I have left to FC os Watashitachi wa Mirai No Hana. The one part where I guess you could call it a "beat drop" Just gets me every time.

Even though it's not a threatening song in that I've never come close to failing it, I would nominate Step Zero to One as being up there as one of the hardest. With other songs, after a few plays I can switch off my brain and play on autopilot (though it usually means I don't play that optimally, but that's just fine when grinding during an event), but S021 wouldn't dream of ever letting me do any such thing. BiA and SolGe are gentle, relaxing songs next to S021.

That's pretty much what I've been afraid of before Aqours events were a thing and hoped they'd include µ's (thanks whoever told me how to u) songs for at least a while, as having the same songs sucks. Seeing how Sunrise did the anime it doesn't make much sense to seperate them for events anymore anyway, otherwise it's not going to get better any time soon

I'm Thank at least the beatmaps for Day3 Hand in Hand and Zero to One are batshit insane fun compared to the norm, the rest make me want to ragequit

My main strategy at least on JP was the mute and chuck on a mix/album elsewhere strat

Nico Puri is literally the last song on my account I need to FC, it's finally back in rotation, and get 1 miss on it like 6 times, 1 bad a couple times, and once 1 good around the end, all this in 15ish tries. I go and play Snow Halation Master twice and FC it no problem twice in a row... Why :'( I've even gone and FC'd a lot of my nemesis songs in the past few days, Junai Lens, Kokuhaku, Otomeshiki, Strawberry Trapper, Step Zero to One, but this final demon just won't go down without a fight.

Nice score and full combo! :D Personally, I feel that Hand in Hand is easier that Strawberry trapper or Zero to One, but that might just be me. I do avoid it quite frequently though due to my weak smile team.

It's bad enough that there's only 1 cool song in this rotation...

but really I decided to dodge until I got Step Zero to One.

It's been 15 minutes and 20ish dodges and I still haven't seen it yet...

edit: FINALLY, only 30 dodges and nearly 17 minutes...

I think I'm going to ~~hibernate~~ sleep now. I've been playing non-stop from 9a.m. - 10p.m.

IMO, Kimeta yo Hand in Hand is harder than Step Zero to One!
Finally FCed Todokanai Hoshidatoshitemo and Genki Zenkai

I had just gotten a couple of strong Cool skills for the first time, so I spammed a bit looking for Step! Zero to One to see the effect it would have on my team strength... The game decided to punish me for my insolence by feeding me to the whales. ;_;

Alright, Step: Zero to One is definitely way harder than any of the 11-star songs in the old game. I'm not sure how I feel about this considering it's only 10-stars. :i

You can still dodge, right? Because that's one I'll be avoiding all the time, every time.

Side note, it's real refreshing to hear new menu music! The Aqours main theme is a banger.

I'm feeling this... Why did I decide to SSS hard songs this event... It's SO MUCH PLAYING I've barely used 3 gems and I'm wearing out so bad but I can't give up because I'm already 64 plays into STEP Zero to One... Where is the exit from Idol Hell

Good luck to those who haven't grinded the other 2 songs yet. Assuming you're still sticking to EX for Honoka's token event, you'll effectively have 10 days left to S clear 3 hard songs. If you don't include level ups or saving LP for the start of events, you'll only have 160x hard songs worth of natural regen LP before the songs are gone. Time to start planning out your song counts.

I've been grinding the Aqours songs exclusively during non-event time (including the post-3.0-LP-overflow period), and also playing LP efficiently, and I'm done with Kimi no Kokoro and 60 playing into Zero to One, so I might only S clear them all with a few days to spare. I can only imagine how much catching up most other people will need.

I feel the same way about easy songs now, but for new players it doesn't work that way. I'm a bluestacks player and I failed Bokura no Live on easy 4 times when I first started to play. I also recently got a friend that installed the game on her phone who couldn't get past 5 combo (and survived with their stamina at 2 only). Unless you have other experiences in rhythm games, odds are that you are bad when you first start - new players shouldn't have to start with a beatmap like the current Step Zero to One because it's too hard for newbies imo.

I think they should work on new Aqours songs with easy beatmaps for beginners and save them for when they are fully released instead of messing around with what they already released tbh.

μ's: Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari because all my tears, Angelic Angel because it's just absolutely beautiful. It floored me when I first heard it, and I was so happy Eli was the center. Datte Datte Aa Mujou because I love the darker tone of it compared to most other μ's songs, and it brings out the Cool girls' voices much more than any other song, and Yume no Tobira because it just makes me feel so much. ;__; It's such an epic.

Subunit: Fuyu ga Kureta Yokan by BiBi, I'm a sucker for R&B ballads so this was A+.

Solo: Split tie between Someday of My Life, Spicaterrible, and Watashitachi wa Mirai no Hana. Wow, you go 2nd years!

Non-μ's: I absolutely LOVE Step! Zero to One by Aqours. They were absolutely killing it. But I loved every Aqours song.

If you're on Android, some launchers will let you edit your app shortcuts (long press and hit edit, then tap the icon of the app in that window to change it). If yours doesn't support this, maybe give this app a whirl? I haven't tried it, though.

If you're on iOS, I'm not aware of any way to change app icons.

If you're android, ppl seem to like AZ Screen Recorder. It seems to work well (i've used it to record some of my rerolls as a test) and it does NOT require rooting, and it's free!

It only takes two copies. That's not a bad design, let me introduce you to a game called Valkyrie Crusade. ~~Not saying VC is a bad design/game.~~

This card and many more other cards, require let's see... a total of 5 cards to evolve fully. If you want to maximize their stat, it'd take 7+ copies IIRC. The game is doing fine, mind you.

You're just hating on SIF/KLab because of CGSS. You're not trying to bring a discussion, you're trying to convert people to CGSS is what I'm getting from all your responses.

turn down the text size and make sure nothing distracts you. on youtube, there is a channel that has guides of nearly every song on EN, and a lot of the JP songs. listen to those before you play your song and it will help a lot. i haven't tried it out yet, but there is an app on the google play store, called SIF Train and you can practice the songs on there without having to worry about LP. also, perfect locks. you can make a team of perfect lock cards and use it.

it'll take a while to FC your first 11 star expert, (i took 5 months, serious) but you will do it!

Quick scan and it doesn't appear that you need to be rooted in order to install apps outside of Google Play.. Hope this helps..

Clearing out gems got me UR Christmas Eli on my side account!

I now have yet another Pure UR and the full Soldier Game Trio~

It's been a while since I quit this game so things may have changed but here's some major differences to note:

• A bunch of the songs have only one hard-difficulty beatmap, despite multiple difficulties. Changing the difficulty just changes how fast the notes move.
• Perfect Locks work on everything, including misses. There's a nicovideo of someone doing nothing for pretty much the whole song and still passing it.
• Ignoring the point above, the beatmaps do have a higher skill ceiling. You're also expected to be able to reach one button past the center, for thumb players (think double note in positions 1,4).
• At level 50(?), you unlock endless mode. Each song is random (from a pool of similarly hard songs), and in random-mode (so you can't memorize beatmaps). Stamina and P-locks activate at most once per song, you don't recover stamina between songs, and the note speed increases every song. It gets pretty silly. I might've passed round 6 at most once. I found this mode the most fun, since P-lock isn't completely broken.
• At level 60(?), you unlock random mode. Basically you get to free-play any song in random mode instead of only the event song. Also, notes aren't forced to alternate sides, for the Kodoku na Hell lovers.
• LP recharges are always +75 and can go past your max. There's also cake you can eat up to 3 times a day for a recharge each. I remember having over 1000 stamina as a result.

There's also a bunch of less important differences like multiple idolization levels and event URs.

First come first serve. :P Does that mean it doesn't work? If not, I can add a separate download link.

Edit: Link added! It's here and it should be a lot easier to get working.

if you want to take a look yourself, try searching it yourself. https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3?

You know better than anyone else what phone you want. Currently, all phones with exactly 4 inch diagonal screen distance are generally low quality phones as far as I can see. Are you thumb or index user? How much error margin are you willing to tolerate? Up to how much money are you willing to pay? Any new features(Waterproof: IPX7, dustproof: IP5X, fingerprint scanner, etc.) you'd like to see on your phone while you are at it?

But like others said, it would generally be better to adjust your muscle memory than to adjust your choices according to your current muscle memory.

Having faced the horrors of low battery panic before, I installed this and never had to worry about it ever since. Simply download Xposed Installer and then download the hidebatterylowalert module from the app.

I'm doing 3rd years (only box I scout) and getting loads of event SRs O_O

Edit: eli is hunting me... doing 200 loveca each time and been getting 2 UR Eli T_T... just restarted again and got another of the same UR Eli

Edit again: found a bug? Was scouting 3rd years box and got UR Valentines Maki.

1) Q&A Megathread

2) I don't know about the Mac version of Bluestacks, but on the Windows version, I have this icon on the bottom bar. When you click it, you're greeted with this overlay, which allows you to map taps, swipes, and anything you'd need really. Best part about it is you can just go into SIF, start a song, pause it, map it and save it, then continue playing it with your newly mapped keys.

Maybe this?
niconico btw
ahh but found youtube ver too. Same video but youtube slightly more HD than niconico

Just got round to seeing it. :)

I agree that she looks so happy there, and seeing Ucchi happy makes me happy.

I don't know whether you have a Nico Nico Douga account, but another place where Ucchi makes a really funny face is on this KotoHonoMaki video at about 00:50. Though she's really funny and cute throughout the whole of the first minute especially, getting distracted and doing her own thing a lot so just watch it from the beginning for the first minute. (Though some of it is related to what they're saying)

If you don't have an account on there, it's quick, easy and free to make.

I listen to the radio programs and watch the live broadcasts regularly! I agree with you about NicoRinPana, they're hilarious. I'm looking forward to whatever live program will succeed Emitsun Fight Club this year.

As for favourite programs or moments, I have way too many, but here's a clip of a moment that had me laughing uncontrollably: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm24386074 (wait for Rippi's part)

Crunchyroll didn't get the streaming rights for sunshine. Funimation did. However if you live in the UK or Ireland you should be able to watch it on crunchyroll

Cheerleader (October) Umi power activation:

"一刀両断!", romanized is " ittou ryoudan!". It's an expression that means to cut something in two with a single stroke. Here's a dictionary entry

EDIT: If you meant the promo cheerleader from Takaramonos, she just says "Ima desu!" which means "Now!".

Do you need a wide wide image, or one that's more vertical?

Edit: I just uploaded ones I liked that I had. Sadly, my Kotori album is SEVERELY lacking, so I suggest looking at /u/parapls album!

You have to download a new apk as it's a big update and they stated so in the notification that popped up a few days ago.

You can do it from this site or this one hosted on MEGA and provided by /u/SBelmont.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT uninstall the current apk if you don't want to lose your JP account. Just download the new apk and install it on top of the old one.

For Android users, I just downloaded the APK and reuploaded on mega here. Since platinumdis.co is not updated with newest APK yet.

Edit: For those who don't know or haven't updated via APK before, you install it on top of the current installation and it will automatically recognize the app and update it. DO NOT UNINSTALL OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA

sourenao is usually a good website for finding sources~!

for example, this is number five~ (I would do more because RIN but I should be getting lunch...)
