Well, here we go, it's time to start the birthday posts of february, and this will be the first of our two most light months with only 3 birthdays on it, so let's jump into it

So to start this month we have our second RAS's Seiyuu birthday. In this ocasión we are celebrating a lady who, as probably most of her bandmates, is just starting her career in the voice acting world. But despite her "lack of experience" she already has found her ways to make herself loved, not only for her stunning display of skill while playing during the lives but also for her cheerfull personality. I would love to say something else about today's honoree but the only thing i can think of is that i'm really looking forward to see how her career developes from here onwards.

So, without further ado, let's wish the best to the lady who give her voice and skills to the lovely and clumsy hardcore fan of PoPiPa and guitarrist of RAS!

Happy Birthday Rikopin!! Let's hope you can giving us more years of unforgettable characters!

And remember, If anyone wants to know more about her be sure to chek Smol's RAS Seiyuu introduction post

Emma Verde —> Eve Wakamiya It’s a really simple edit but still, changing the hair colour took a lot of time😂 I also posted this in my idol.story account (You can find it in my profile) UwU

Ciao a tutti! (︶ω︶) Okay, seriously ... I am new here, so I decided that to spend time I would have devoted myself to something, leaving out the games at a fast pace (such as Bandori, SIF and Deresute - that is Idolmaster Cinderella Girls; Starlight Stage - do you understand why it shortens?). Anyway, coming back to us, since these dear cutie one have made beautiful covers, because - I thought - don't do the groups in the corresponding characters of the song in question? And here is how these were born: the "Sailor Palettes" (not even the PreCure, haha) Having said that, I leave you with them and get caught next time. Saluti〜

I have said multiple times in the past I will delete this account.

but I haven't

because...I feel like I shouldn't. There's something stopping me. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm not sure if I like it.

The reason why I don't post alot on here is because...well, this website just feels so lifeless and dead now, I don't feel like posting 99% of the time.

However, there are 2 people I would like to praise for managing to consistently post and not die off this site.

1. FleetingKaoru (She's the only reason why I even joined this website and then I started doing fanart and edits of cards because of her)

2. Kaiton

Sorry for this being a weird post and for being so blunt.

Maybe an unpopular opinion?

Afterglow’s reasoning for being a band is pretty............slapped together.

Like, the only reason they’re a band is so Ran isn’t lonely. But...they’re only in different classes. I’d understand if it was different schools, but different classes? It’s not that serious.

Afterglow was pretty needlessly dramatic about it too. “Oh no, we’re in a different classes.” “This is the first time this happened” “I sure hope Ran’s going to be alright.” And I’m just over here like “IT’S JUST DIFFERENT CLASSES!”

I mean, come on. They still have before school, after school, meeting up in the hallway during breaks, the weekends. They didn’t seem too bothered at cutting classes meet up with Ran on the roof as she’s writing edgy 13-year-old ‘my soul is so black. No one can ever understand my suffering’ poems so what’s the problem here!

I just wanted to step through my screen and shake this girl and yell out, “RAN, YOU’RE NOT A FUCKING BABY THAT NEEDS PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU! YOU CAN SURVIVE A FEW HOURS OF THE DAY WITHOUT THEM! YOU ACT LIKE YOU’RE GOING TO EXPLODE IF THEY’RE NOT WITHIN 2 INCHES OF YOU AND YOU WON’T! YOU’LL STILL BE HERE! YOU’LL STILL BE PRESENT! NOW SIT YOUR EDGY ASS DOWN!”

Did the writers expect me to go “Aww” at the story? Cause I’m not. Instead, I’m going “This premise is so dumb”.

It seemed less of a story of best friends getting together to form a band and more of they need to form a band because Ran can’t function without the others.

Man, it feels really weird getting so much support from people for something you're making. This is honestly an amazing feeling that I have never felt before. Thank you all so much.

However, I have some bad news regarding Muse Combat.

The development for Muse Combat will be delayed indefinitely. After getting really far in development, the dev team and I have realized that we are missing the most important component of the game: the music. Funding for the game is nonexistient, so our budget is incredibly low. This means we can't pay for musicians, voice actors, etc... Without a band to play for us and voice actors to sing for their respective characters, we have no way of making proper music for the game.

But fear not, Muse Combat will not be abandoned. The dev team is still working very hard to do their best. We will be possibly launching a Kickstarter and/or a Patreon un the future.

Thank you all for supporting and following the development of Muse Combat. Your kind and supportive words mean everything to us ❤️

The very moment I saw this card I immediately thought

Say "Aah!"

Hey guys!

"The Bandori gacha is so unfair!!!"

Have you ever had this thought in your mind, even a little? Maybe I'm complaining with no reason, but this thought hits me everytime some gacha like the image above happens.

I don't play much gacha games, the only of them being Bleach Brave Souls and Fire Emblem Heroes (I try to login everyday on Grand Summoners too but I don't play that much, and my phone isn't running Revue Starlight Re:Live because of its Android 10 incompability), and even though there are times I draw nothing, most of the time I feel satisfied with the overall results. But my feeling about Bandori is different, it's feels more disappointing than the others, always having this feeling of flustration, that the gacha is unfair, and my efforts are in vain. Maybe because I'm really unlucky when it comes to the game itself and especially about my favorite characters (Kasumi, Lisa and Misaki) and band (Poppin' Party), or maybe because there aren't too many ways to collect free stars. Just so you know, I never got a 4* in its own gacha (for example, Tanabata Kasumi on her gacha with Hagumi).

I want to know about your opinions: what do you think about the Bandori gacha? Is it really unfair compared to other games? Or I'm just being annoying and complaining with no reason? Tell me what you think.

And yes, this was my result after spending on the Valentine gacha. Sad.

Yo, who's the most iconic member of the Ban*Pa community for you?

Personally, I can recognize any post from @Kaiton without looking at his username. I just scroll through Ban*Pa and find a post about RAS needing more content or cute seasonal quotes and I'm just like "Yep. That's a Kaiton post. What a cool guy."

also, wow. Blatant self advertising! Do you want a chance for your OC to appear in a videogame?? Then you should join the Muse Combat Logo Competition!

Day 21: Most Relatable Character

This one is easy.

Aoba Moca

I'm tired, so I'm gonna make this short. She Likes bread. I like bread. She wears hoodies. I wear hoodies. She likes manga. I like manga. There's just a lot I have in common with her. That's it. Okay, bye.

Story time!

Earlier today, I was playing Multi Lives with a friend on the JP server. They're someone who previously hasn't played Garupa... at all for a year or something (I'm pretty sure they pre-date my Aug '18 start as well) so I know they're very unfamiliar with RAS, so I was intentionally choosing RAS songs (well, I only got 1/3 before the main bit) to gauge an opinion. Then I got Gekidou and they commented about/during the CHUTsumu bit (positive), so I made them listen to EXPOSE 'Burn out!!!'.

Half because it's my personal favourite RAS song, half because I personally think CHUTsumu's best vocal parts are here and whole for... another reason.

After that, I was able to shift the conversation to RAS and gave a short summary of RAS' origin as THE THIRD. I also mentioned their appearance (as characters) in 2nd Season. They haven't seen 2nd Season (or 1st but at least there's a somewhat substitute for that) so I'll try and get them to watch it. Perhaps in the future, I can get them to watch 3rd Season...

All of this is part of my goal to get them wanting to talk about Bandori, more about the characters/stories than the songs (but I won't say no to songs). Whether that's through Banpa, Twitter, Reddit and/or whatever other sites or things people use. If I can add RAISE A SUILEN to that goal, it's too late because I already have.

You know what would be funny? If they saw this. Hey, go make an account!

Somewhat asking out of curiosity... Would you guys be interested in seeing ukulele or drum covers of Bandori songs?

If so, leave a request in the comments :)
