Qurex why must you tempt me with merch?

 

[Himemiya]

Hmm so the LL Movie isn't coming earlier than summer 2015 then, if the back-to-back TV airings go Jan-Jun and/or maybe a bit longer? That's what I'm thinking at least.

I want to cop Nico's style so hard. I wear a mix of Hanayo/Nico irl but Nicocchi's rocking it so much I can't compete.
Eli has the perfect shirt for peeps embarrassed of LL though.

edito you have bigger pics of the subunits?

Unfortunately, I don't have any larger pics of the subunits, I got those from the official site.
I tried searching for them on Japanese sites but couldn't find them.
I guess larger versions will be up when the next magazines come out or when the promotion for these starts.

 

[Himemiya]

They're obviously getting the public ready for the LL movie in July! Hopefully.

Ok thanks for looking for the pics anyways.

 

[Mokoi]

Yeah Eli's, and Nico's shirts are pretty cool. The one Maki is wearing looks like some shitty art piece.

 

[Qurex]

Well there is the fan meeting tour (in Japan of course) from the end of May to the start of August next year.

I didn't notice at first, but her shirt spells out Love Live!

 

[Mokoi]

Yeah I noticed it, but still looks like a shitty art piece. Great post btw.

Edit: Also I shall be rooting for pacific racing team now!

 

[Qurex]

Not sure really, at first I thought it was just something random to do with Maki.
Like some sort of logo or something that Maki had on a shirt or something from the anime.

You know like the Love Live! Bear mascot, or that mascot thing Honoka has.

 

[redhairedking]

Need a ほ shirt tbh

I'd wear that

 

[JoeFu]

I'd prefer the one that says it in english

 

[Qurex]

Surprised there isn't an offical one. Closest I could find was this Japanese site with user submissions

Honoka's ほ shirt
https://clubt.jp/product/319173.html
https://clubt.jp/product/321689.html
https://clubt.jp/product/333262.html
https://clubt.jp/product/254584.html

Honoka's other shirt. The Ho. one
https://clubt.jp/product/325762.html
https://clubt.jp/product/326199.html

Here's the backwards Я shirt that Eli wears
https://clubt.jp/product/254579.html

Nozomi's shirt with the moon
https://clubt.jp/product/254590.html

It would probably be quite easy to make most of the shirts that μ's wears,

Looks like they're wearing the Cutie Panther costume not the Natsu, Owaranai de one

Gotta prevent people copying a digital image that will become freely available once its in the game!

 

[Yaari]

Thanks Qurex, cool stuff. Those prize figures are great quality for their value.

Nice, gonna vote now.

Kinda makes me want to get more than one copy but I don't want to risk getting a duplicate

 

[fek]

Tell me which one you get, because if I get a different one, I'll give you mine.

That would be amazing. I'm not expecting to receive it any sooner than february though, holidays season sucks for any shipping method, if that's fine with you

I played just a bit more then 10 new games this year but don't know if i should all add them all. Been buying old games for cheap and working on my backlog, so that is better. But LL will be in my top10 for sure.

 

[fek]

Yeah that's fine.

Thank you!

I posted in that thread.

Oh we made you do it eh? Well how about we make you regret posting that eh sunshine?

 

[Yaari]

So apparently this will be my first ever idolized UR. I don't like Hanayo, but first offering to come to visit me in my country, and now appearing twice through draws. I guess I owe her an apology.

 

[GoXDS]

Congratz! I haven't even gotten a 2nd UR yet let alone Idolized SR
(even if I can normally only do a single 10+1 pull every 2 months =P)

 

[Mokoi]

Do your bit!

I will vote for it, but I'll write my own thing. lol

The Monthly Bushiroad TV from last week is up.

Note, I haven't watched this yet.

Damn, Emi is even worse at the game than I thought from that google video. Still, her second single PV looks good
Anyway here's Ucchi in a FujiTV morning news program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMupEPNZvBI

 

[Enron]

I don't like Hanayo

 

[Qurex]

Searched for a comparison pic. Finally found some.
https://imgur.com/a/0cDbi

If anyone has some better pic/shot of BiBi's Cutie Panther performance from Love Live! μ's →NEXT LoveLive! 2014 ~ENDLESS PARADE to post that would be nice.

So apparently this will be my first ever idolized UR. I don't like Hanayo, but first offering to come to visit me in my country, and now appearing twice through draws. I guess I owe her an apology.

Oh wow, congrats Yaari!

Anyway here's Ucchi in a FujiTV morning news program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMupEPNZvBI

She really is quite bad, at least she has a nice team. Kinda interested as to who's on the back of her phone case.

Her second single is the ED for Milky Holmes TD right?
Anyway, don't think this was posted here yet. Here's the short PV that was posted the other day for the 2nd single 探求Dreaming (Tankyuu Dreaming).

-------------------------

Extra info on the singles:

The B-side, 想いよ届け (Omoi yo Todoke) is the OP for ひとつ飛ばし恋愛V (Hitotsu Tobashi Ren’ai V) the Vita port of the VN, ひとつ飛ばし恋愛(Hitotsu Tobashi Ren’ai).
It will be released at the same time as her 3rd single NEXT PHASE on Wednesday, February 18th.
NEXT PHASE is ED2 for Cardfight Vanguard G. The B-side, 優しい世界そして未来へ (Yasashii Sekai Soshite Mirai e), is the OP for the online RPG Sky Lore.


Anyone have any idea what that Phantasy Star Online 2 Play that Emi was is in is about?

And what's up with the people in the green circle in that FujiTV program with Ucchi.

 

[fek]

I think that's not her team, in the game week google play video she used a pretty weak team that looked more realistic lol
Here's a few individual pics of that BiBi costume: http://imgur.com/a/9xe29

Yes, it's for Milky!
I think that was for the 15th anniversary of PSO, it's up for preorder on cdjapan already: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/HSB-287.

So I haven't voted yet, but I will soon.

Who for, you ask? Well Umi-chan, of course!

...I know, she won't win, but that won't stop me!

[Kincaido]

Thanks again free loveca

 

[m0t0k1]

Installed back the english version to get UR kotori. Sees this

21 Stones for no reason.

Why can't i hold all these stones.

 

[chrono01]

Speaking of Umi, an event [featuring her] starts tomorrow.

But wait, what's this? It features both an SR Umi AND an SR Nico? Nice!

[You can only get two SR Umi, though, from what I can see. No 2x SR Nico.]

 

[m0t0k1]

Voted for Hanayo lets see how this goes........

 

[BGBW]

So m0t0k1 noticed there's now a [thread=954526]Mobile Game of the Year thread[/thread] so I guess we also have to vote for LL in that.

 

[Adrian]

LLSIF voted!

 

[Yui]

So m0t0k1 noticed there's now a [thread=954526]Mobile Game of the Year thread[/thread] so I guess we also have to vote for LL in that.

Done!
It's a shame a lot of people will probably just vote for PC ports and not "mobile" mobile games. :/

@Umi event: This event might get quite grindy due to all the free Loveca we are getting right now. Not looking forward to that tbh. Especially since I plan on going for at least tier 2.

 

[redhairedking]

I'll probably just save my loveca for new years despair

 

[fek]

Well, I just voted for the mobile GOTY as well but I'm hoping to see more votes in the overall GOTY thread.

 

[Yaari]

Still hoping my old JP account can find a new owner so the Maki UR can be collected on it.

 

[Mokoi]

Not ready

 

[Markun]

I am so ready.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Bleh, didn't realize a new event was starting so soon. I just ticked over from level 121 to 122. Should have held off a day to save that LP refresh. But doesn't really matter, I'm not pushing for top 1000 or anything like that.
