You've been waiting for it and you've been asking us about it over and over again. Here they are! The final, grand winners of Petite Idol Studio - Summer Paradise Ed. 2018 🎉

Going through all the entries and rating them to make a decision was something really nice to do, but it was also a very time-consuming task, so setting that time aside was a bit of a challenge for our staff teams. That's why we're only sharing the results now.

The judges were staff members and contributors of all our websites and they made sure to follow the rules and guidelines to make a fair, unbiased judgement.

It was tough because all the entries were really amazing!

The final ranking is truly impressive and we're really happy and proud to have organized this contest and to see the community come together and create beautiful things.

We all hope you will love and support our lovely winners as much as we love them!

After stocking up on merch for so long, today's your time to brag! Show off your extensive collection and dedication to your favorite idols to win!

dang y'all lately ive been listening to just a boatload of punk rock music, especially pop-punk and its been making me think of afterglow. so then i started to marathon all of afterglow's music and fam i got in my man feels

i cant let go of these kids y'all. their musical style reflects the color of my soul, dont even ask what that means, when i listen to their songs i just feel like im completely ok w/ being myself . i feel so proud of them for how hard they rock out , and then i remember how they were the band that got me to start playing this game, and just

look idc if they dont come home as often as my pastel girls, im still adopting them from now on. tbh i wouldnt even be able to tier this event if moca hadnt been there from day one helping me get points so its not like they dont support me

they can just be my rebellious kiddos that do what they want , im ok w/ taht. but i love them too much to just abandon them like this man it hurts my dad heart. theres enough room for the pastels and the glow girls in my household ok. i just wanted to let that be known, i will do my best to be a tsugurific bushido dad from now on

edit: alli the genius suggested "bushidori dad" bc eve's bushido + ran's itsumo dori. its a fusion of grand proportions and i will proudly don the name. with power like this, i can become... the ultimate dad!!!!

hewwo everybowdy, today we will perform a popular ask meme! the:

i don't think this will go well but here I go postin it!!

thinking about: her

and and also how the rest of summer roselia are gonna look i love them all

Greetings, I'm the Bandori Guardian and I'll tell my story. 3 days ago I lost my Worldwide account, making me feel really sad and I almost dropped the Bandori franchise, but I couldn't, the girls really have grown on me and it was impossible to leave them just like that, so I removed the WW app and moved to JP. It was a great choice, but I wanted to prevent things like these to happen again; that's how I became the Bandori Guardian; with the goal of protecting the girls, their bands and the community.

Remember to always set up your transfer code!

WIP for "Kirameki Leaders!" (LL x LLS x Bandori)

Ever since Bandori JP came out, I've been meaning to draw a crossover between μ's, Aqours, and various Bandori characters based on who I thought would be compatible. Here's the first super energetic group featuring Honoka, Chika, and Kasumi with swapped outfits! I'll post the fully colored version later too!

I never made merch before but I feel like I want to turn these into acrylic charms? If I ever finish drawing everything... Hahaha...

Who else do you think are compatible? I made a list but I'm open for discussion!

Okay, so today's topic is "BanG Dream! GBP At Disney!!" I've been to disney so many times that I'm actually kinda shocked that I didn't even think of something like this. To those who recommended this, thank you! I'm also trying to arrange girls in order of band now (so that nothing is all over the place).

Also, if I forget to include one of the girls, please point it out! I don't want any of our girls to miss out! And in advance, my apologies for being an airhead... I really do love every girl! I promise!
