I love the little lollipops floating in the air and the lighting and her outfit and literally everything this is just so perfect

AND AYA TOO THIS LIGHTING IS BEAUTIFULLLLL

This might be my favorite untrained ever honestly it's just so cute

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

OH MY EVERYTHING IS PINK

I LOVE IT

I also really like those far away cards in general, but this is just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ooh yeah the lighting's on POINT with this one here

And Tsugu is cute. As always. Honestly, Tsugu is never not cute lol

OH MY GOODNESS

AYA IS STEALING MY HEART AND SHE'S NOT EVEN IN THE EVENT

I can't wait to see what this interaction is in the event story! All I know is that it's probably gonna be very cute lol

HER HAIR HER HAIR HER HAIR EVERYBODY LOOK AT HER HAIR AND HER SMILE AND HER OUTFIT AND JUST HER.

PAREO IS MY WORLD AND MY EVERYTHING TODAY

I JUST CAN'T AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA <3

THIS IS THE BEST MISAKI CARD HANDS DOWN

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW CUTE THIS IS. I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH.

(I think that the lighting on her eyes does it for me. Idk why lol

Honestly she deserves that crown on her head, she is an absolute queen lol

Ooooooh

Possible Chu2/Rui rivarly here?????? Possible new ship here?????? I'm excited to see what's gonna happen

And for the record, I do not know if they have interacted before, so if they have then I'm just late to that lol

QUEEN

ABSOLUTE QUEEN

Rui fans have been winning hard these past couple of events lol

Her outfit, her hair, everything is just...mwah <3

But altogether, with new band costumes, these wonderful cards, and of course: a lot of stars, I think that this is probably gonna be a great 5th Anni!

A bold statement here, but I think it might be even better than the 4th Anni.

And I hope that the new system of getting stars is pretty good, because I can't deal with a kirameki fest right after a df lol

This may be a super random post so apologies in advance. I'm not even sure if most of the people I interacted with are still on here but I wanted to make a post about this.

I wanted to thank you bandori.party community for being so accepting and supportive of me when I first started questioning my gender identity back in October of 2020. It's been a little over a year now and because of the support and advice from users on here I'm now happier than I've ever been in my entire life. I no longer feel like I'm hiding something or that I'm lying about something even I didn't know the truth about. I've also been in therapy for the past 7 months and it has done wonders for me as well. I'm finally coping with my depression. I'm out to my family and they all accept me, most of my outer family has been supportive as well.

Finally allowing myself to open up again and feel my own emotions is a brand new sensation to me. To finally FEEL happy and not just emulate it. a lot of things have happened this past year and I'm extremely grateful to those who were with me through everything. So thank you to the bandori.party community for being there for me during such a tough time in my life, even if I'm not a huge fan of bandori anymore this community will always be special to me, thank you so much.

Backstage Pass 5 illustrations are out

wahhhh!!! happy birthday to me!! my bday present to myself is……. BLACK SHOUT special full perfect!! woohoo!!

Coming back from the dead to say OH MY GOD THIS CARD IS REALLY TEMPTING ME TO PLAY BANDORI AGAIN

I'm slowly actually starting to like Aya after such a long time of her being my least favorite character

PAREO is my world. She’s so cute all the time!

this set stole my wig

BACKSTAGE PASS NEWS POST AKA A VERY LONG POST WHERE I CRY FOR AYA (AND ARISA, RINKO, PAREO, AND LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE).

Seriously, this is LONG. Don't read until the end if you get bored sdjsgdkj.

I PRESENT TO ALL OF YOU: MY GODDESS, MY RELIGION, MY LORD AND SAVIOUR, THE ONE AND ONLY MARUYAMA AYA!!!!!

SHE IS SO PRETTY. I WANTED TO CRY WHEN I SAW THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME. SHE LOOKS LIKE A PRINCESS, THE MOST PURE ANGEL TO EVER EXIST. I'M HER MOST DEVOTED FOLLOWER.

NOT ONLY IS HER TRAINED CARD ONE OF THE PRETTIEST PINK EXPLOSION I'VE EVER SEEN, BUT THE PRE-TRAINING CARD IS LITERALLY THE MOST STUNNING AND ENDEARING PRE-TRAINING IMAGE IN THIS GAME!!!!

and wow, ayahina in the same frame, seems so unreal. i thought craft egg had forgotten that they were friends and were in the same band. truly shocked.

THIS KIND OF BANDORI CARDS HERE???

I LOVE IT!!! PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF THIS.

I hope Yukina's pre-training image will be like this because she deserves it (and so do I).

NOW, THE GLOW UP I WAS PRAYING FOR:

(yes, i'll put every bp5 trained images here, because I LOVED ALL OF THEM)

Ok, i never hid my dislike for Backstage Pass 4 set, the only cards I'm okay with are Tsukushi's and Kanon's because they look cute in those costumes, but everything else..... I would rather forget that set exist. I think they are not as pretty as any other Backstage Pass set, especially compared to YukiRan and even Tae's 3* from BP1 and BP2, so I was afraid that the BP5 set would not be of my taste too, but I'm so happy that I liked everything kjushdckij. I EVEN LIKED TSUGUMI'S CARD, THAT'S LITERALLY A MIRACLE FOR ME.

ALSO, I KNEW THE BACKSTAGE PASS CARDS WERE GOING TO BE RINKO X ARISA. I KNEW IT!!!! Misaki is a bonuses!! Sadly for me, I might get Misaki instead of Arisa and Rinko AGAIN because this is what happened in their DF banner.... I still have nightmares from that day.

My personal faves are definitely Rui, Rinko, Pareo, Arisa and Michelle in this exact order. I can't believe Rui's card is the event card, she looks so so pretty, you can't find one single flaw in that card!!!!

PAREO'S OUTFIT IS THE BEST!!!! AND AYA X PAREO!!! FINALLY!! LOOK AT THEM, THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE!!

where is the aya x pareo event that we (me) need??? PLS CRAFT EGG, I BEG (not now tho because I'll be poor after BP/DF)

AND MY ANGELS!!!!! THEY GAVE ME NOT ONLY AKORIN, BUT ALSO SAYOHINA. I'VE BEEN BLESSED.

OH AND CHIYU X RUI??? I HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT I ALREADY LOVE THIS DYNAMIC.

AND NO, I DID NOT FORGET ONE OF THE BEST GIRLS: THIS GORGEOUS RIGHT HERE!!!! SHDICUSHDKIUYDGUJKSGYD THIS CARD IS FLAWLESS. I LOVE THE COLORS, THE BACKGROUND, HER COSTUME!!! HER COSTUME IS ALREADY ONE OF MY FAVORITES IN THE WHOLE GAME!!!!!! I MUST HAVE HER!

The style is the same as Rokka's and I love it so much. Bandori has been doing different styles lately, like the comic styles that I wished so much to come back because before Tsukushi's DF we only had that Afterglow set (which I love btw), now this style for DF Rokka x Himari, the DF Hina x Aya x Rimi style... I want to see more of this new side of the bandori cards, especially for permanent cards because lately I feel that the sets aren't that diverse/dynamic anymore, most of them give the feel that we've saw it before or that it's not that WOW. I don't know how to explain, but I hope someone understand what I'm saying sdchskvfr.

New Year Chisato and the last Tsukushi 4* are one of the best cards released in the last months for me (Chisato's is one of the best ones in the game tbh), I love seeing them play with the concepts, the colors and the backgrounds. Morfonica's gallery set was also unusual and so gorgeous, they used more dark colors for costumes that are not the modern punk/grunge fashion we usually see from Afterglow. These little details are really nice tbh, because I don't know if you guys noticed but they have a pattern for costumes: dark clothes for Afterglow/Roselia/RAS, but light shades for Morfonica, vibrant colors for HHW/Popipa, and obviously, pastel colors for Pasupare, as if the cute clothes that Pareo uses couldn't be dark (I know she likes those colors, this is an example), that pretty frilly dresses cannot be in dark colors, you know?? I understand that it's because of each band image, but some events have nothing to do with their band image so why not change a little bit?? I would be really nice to have a breath of fresh air in the game cards.

ok sorry for start talking about something that had nothing to do with the cards shudcijush. I wanted to talk about the new songs too, but since I talked a lot already, I'll TRY to keep it short:

Very excited for Hikaru Nara new difficulty because I like to challange myself and i already have the expert beatmap recorded in my mind, the new costumes are pretty but some of them don't look that different from the previous ones :(

Just found out that Pasupare's cover for this anniversary is yama's Haru wo Tsugeru and I'm happy that they are giving Pasupare songs that aren't all cute and sweet, I hope they keep doing this!! Someone said that RAS cover could be Noushou Sakuretsu Girl AND I'M DREAMING WITH THIS COVER ALREADY. If it's not, I'll be so sad hsdikujdk. But about the people saying that Afterglow will cover Melt.... I hope I'm thinking of a different song because I can't see Ran singing Hatsune Miku's Melt at all. About Morfonica singing unravel... I don't like this idea. No hate towards Mashiro's VA, absolutely not, I just don't think her voice will suit the song or that I'll like it, that's all. Not excited for Popipa's cover either, because it also is a song I like. There are a few songs that I love dearly and got really excited when I heard about the bandori cover, but got very disappointed, so now I'm scared. I hope to be surprised tho! OH AND ABOUT HHW!!!!!! PLEASE LET IT BE KUCHIZUKE DIAMOND, I BEG. THERE ARE ONLY TWO GROUPS THAT I ACCEPT TO SING THIS SONG AND HHW IS ONE OF THEM.

The Roselia x Eve collab is the reason I live!!!!! (One of my favorite artists x my second favorite band, so yes, i'm living for this collab), just a little bit disappointed that they got the jjk song instead of any other Eve song. I don't know, I just feel that craft egg looked over the most famous/recent songs and called it a day. I hope I like it but I'm more interested in the song he made for them!!

ZAQ X PASUPARE WILL BE THE NEXT ARTIST X BANDORI PROJECT SUDHCISKUHKIDUHKIHUK I WANT IT SO BAD. pls pls pls make Aya/Amita sing something like Braver, Seven Doors or Gekijyouron, PLEASE, I WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING I HAVE FOR THIS COVER.

I don't know if there is still something that I wanted to talk here, I've wrote so many things that I'm confused already, but I think that's it sjhdckjs. I loved most of the anniversary news so I'm looking forward for all of it!!

If you see any grammar mistakes in this, no you didn't, just pretend everything is okay because my brain can't think in english anymore.

OMG I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS OUTFIT AND THIS CARD, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BELOVED KAORUUU <3333

Happy B-Day!
