Looks like Perfect Dream Project will include brand new characters after all?

[Yaari]

Nice. Hopefully details will come around soon now for the actual project, I really want to know what it is.

 

[Articalys]

Both songs from AZALEA's 2nd single are straight electropop fire:

The Love Live franchise just doesn't know what to do with the normals.

Just hire me and I'll write the idol vs robots war story we all want.

[firehawk12]

Merger successful. My TW account ID is 567516963 if anyone wants to add me there. I'm not sure which account I want to use at the moment. lol

GK killing it again. When Shadow gate started I figured it wasn't going to be my kind of song, but nope, it's catchy as hell.

 

[JoeFu]

Dang, just realized last month was 3 year anniversary of the og thread. Crazy

 

[Articalys]

Spiritual power!

It was good enough to get me a UR on the final step-up box, so I'm happy.

Also, Aqours' first single is certified gold sales (100,000).

[firehawk12]

I did one draw on 3 accounts and got a UR on my TW account, so I'm happy I guess. lol

 

[Articalys]

Preview for the Next Step! Project theme song, Landing action Yeah!!

https://youtu.be/L0VWokAzCuU

Out at the end of the month.
Looks like it'll have solo versions for everyone too.

Also the Aqours 1st Live BD is out Sept. 27 with nothing cut, so it should include the dramatic moment from day 2.

 

[Articalys]

SIF News from Thanksgiving:

- Login bonus for 21 million JP players
- Yoshiko Gamers mascot promo UR coming
- Mirai Ticket and Happy Party Train Rs coming
- Aqours School Idol Diary story events coming
- Winning Halloween costume design announced

- New event type "Nakayoshi (Good Friends) Match". Appears to be more cooperative instead of competitive like Score Match

(Apparently borrowing from BanG Dream this time, which is at least made by Bushiroad too)
- Some kind of new item box with different versions for each character
- First screenshot of PDP models:

- The new PDP girls aren't a unified 9-person group like μ's and Aqours

 

[Yaari]

So happy with that screenshot. Just what I hoped it was going to be like when someone posted about that new project they were working on last year.

 

[BGBW]

Better CG than the original Love Live.

 

[JoeFu]

what is that? getting fancy models in the game?

why couldn't they show any characters that mattered?

 

[Anony]

probably from arcade game?

 

[BGBW]

µ's is dead. Accept the facts.

Idols are like horses. Once they retire they're melted down for glue.

 

[MikeHattsu]

At least it's Aqours in that screenshot?

 

[Bob Coffee]

µ's is dead. Accept the facts.

Idols are like horses. Once they retire they're melted down for glue.

that's so 1800's, modern idols are recycled in the clone vats to make new idols! creating a sustainable idol industry!

 

[Articalys]

I mean, they're still getting new cards for the arcade game, I just don't really follow that news since I won't ever play it.

 

[Articalys]

Anyway, here's the official illustration for Hanamaru as the new Sega mascot girl:

http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/news.php#3587

Nice detail to give her a keychain of previous mascot girl Rin.

 

[Anony]

worse girls are the sega mascots
seems about right

 

[Hexxen-Panda]

Hanamaru chuckled. "You mean the chaos emeralds, Zura?"

Is she wearing a Rin keychain? Nice homage to the old mascot.

First round of PDP voting is up. Click the button below your choice, then the larger button at the bottom to vote. Go here if you want to read the characters' translated intros. Voting ends July 10th, but there'll be another round each month until December.

Ranks 1-3 each time will post some victory comments, not sure if they get anything else. This is largely just for gauging reactions to the characters anyway.

 

[BGBW]

Oh. So that's why only three are from SIF. The other six aren't random OGs, but from other apps.

Still, the total lack of Mutsuki Takamagahara is disgraceful.

 

[Articalys]

Global version now has the updated blue ticket scouting for both μ's and Aqours. So your options now are:

- 5 blue tickets: 80% SR / 20% UR
- 10 blue tickets: 80% SSR / 20% UR
- 25 blue tickets: guaranteed UR

 

[Articalys]

Preview is out for the special Summer Vacation duo/trio collection single:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODPY1TSRnV8

1) Natsu e no Tobira Never end ver. -- Riko/Hanamaru/Mari
2) Manatsu wa Dare no Mono -- Dia/Ruby
3) Jimoto Ai ♡ Man Tan ☆ Summer Life -- You/Yoshiko

No. 1: Rina Tennoji

I placed 1st? I didn’t expect this development.
That’s very surprising. At a time like this, what kind of face should I put on my Rina-chan Board?
A joyful “Smile”? Or maybe a fighting “Mun”? [TL: “mun” is just a sound effect]
Sorry, I’m just very confused. But, I’m really happy.
I don’t have quite enough confidence yet to thank you with my uncovered face, but I think that if people keep cheering me on like this, one day I’ll have that confidence.
Though I’m only using my board right now, have my feelings of gratitude.
Rina-chan Board: "Chu ♪"

No. 2: Setsuna Yuki

I’m happy to have this many people cheering me on!
We just got started with this project as rookie school idols, so I was worried about whether anyone would support me, but indeed some people did.
To everyone lending their voices, I can hear you loud and clear!
Hearing everyone’s voices really makes me feel warm, happy, and a little fluttery!
But we haven’t come far enough to be satisfied, you know? To have even more people support us, we’ll have to work even more to fire everyone up!
Our work has only just begun. Everyone, please let us hear your voices and feelings even more!

No. 3: Kasumi Nakasu

Huh? I placed 3rd? What? I see, that’s strange…
But even though having not placed 1st is unfortunate, it’s pretty great to have placed 3rd, right?
To everyone who voted for me, thank you~! For everyone who voted for Kasumin in this first poll, in commemoration, I’ll remember your names well, all right? When the next poll comes around, I’ll be happy to be able to see everyone’s names then too ♪
I’ll try even harder so that I can place 1st in the next poll. To do that, I’ll have to think up some new strategies…
Oh, I know. First off, I’ll prepare congratulatory letters to Rina and Setsuna-senpai ♪

My top 3 were top 3, so that's a good result. The N girls from the game all got wrecked.

 

[BGBW]

Cos they picked the wrong N girls/this is what happens when you don't do anything with them.

 

[firehawk12]

Love Live got private matchmaking before Nintendo!

 

[Articalys]

So anyway, there was a short teaser for S2 at the Nagoya performance of the 2nd Live Tour:

Just noticed that this marks the end of Muse updates in SIF. Muse is truly gone.

[TheGeniusArcana]

Wait are they done with muse muse sets?

 

[Articalys]

Story content, yeah, but there's still new cards and events on the way.

Yeah. I didn't read the story before hand, but I guess I'm fine with them not doing the movie thing and having them break up. They're just stuck being school idols forever. lol

Results for round 2 of the PDP voting are in, and good taste (largely) prevails again. Will add the comments when translated.

No. 1: Setsuna Yuki

I rose to first place!
It's because of everyone who supported me. Thank you so much!
Recently, as these sweltering days have been dragging on, I've been feeling a bit of summer fatigue. But this news perked me right up!
In this round of voting, it seems that even more people participated than in the first round! I was actually just talking with the rest of the club about how happy we were about that.
Moreover, I've heard that the margin between first and last place was incredibly narrow. Even I can't afford to be careless!
In order to not lose against anyone, and in order to reach even more people with her love, Setsuna Yuki will keep racing with all her strength! I'll challenge myself with a ton of activities as well! So please continue to watch over me, OK?

No. 2: Rina Tennoji

I didn't expect at all that I'd be in the top three again.
I'm truly happy to have this many people cheering me on; it feels like I'm living in a dream.
Rina-chan Board: ”Hyappo—♪"
But, after placing second this time, a new emotion emerged within me. It was ”frustration".
It didn't even occur to me that such a feeling would come up, so the Rina-chan Board doesn't have a face prepared for frustration.
...This is surely part of growing up, huh?
Setsuna-san is an amazing person, but I'll try my best so that I won't lose next time.
Please support me, as I'll work really really hard.
Rina-chan Board: ”Bowing"

No 3. Shizuku Osaka

Shocking, isn't it?
Ahaha, I placed sixth last time, so when they told me I suddenly jumped up to third place, I was astonished.
To everyone who was so kind as to support me, thank you very much!
I'm so shocked and happy that the dialogue I worked so hard to memorize last night has completely disappeared from my mind.
Just kidding! Heheh. Ah, this happiness is the real deal.
Even though I'm inexperienced, there are so many people supporting me.
That makes me very happy, and it's quite reassuring.
I'll work diligently so that I can try to live up to everyone's expectations, even if only a bit, so please continue supporting me!

The game's N girls did significantly better this time around. Kasumi's foul play seems to be catching up with her.

Also team Famitsu got new art:

 

[Yaari]

This entire reveal takes forever. I wonder when its going to turn into an actual game or something.

 

[Articalys]

There's only a few more weeks until Sunshine S2, so I would guess they want to let that have all the focus while it's airing. Starting in January maybe we'll see a bigger push for PDP.

 

[A Huge Battleship]

More new PDP art, this time for the N girls. Team Dengeki when?

e: Team Dengeki now. I think they're trying to tell us something about Setsuna.

 

[Yaari]

https://lovelive.bushimo.jp/stageonair/ 9/21 they will do a segment about LLSIF and PDP apparently? This is at TGS

 

[Articalys]

Global version got updated to 5.0, which includes things like the improved login bonuses and song filtering. Also swing notes and the Rally event type.

 

[FrankCanada97]

I finally hit level 100. Is it bad that the only expert level song I can full combo is Yuujou No Change? I haven't even attempted any song on master difficulty, my fingers aren't fast enough.

You can use all-healer teams to practice, particularly in token events where score doesn't matter for the non-event song.

 

[Yaari]

The thing will be streamed here.

 

[Articalys]

I declare the thread, and interest in the game, to be dead.

 

[A Huge Battleship]

Results for the latest round of PDP voting are up. #1-9 were, in order:

Good taste largely prevails again. I'm not really interested in the announced ALL STARS game.
