Aaaah this is not fine!!!

We're having a new event called "The Lovers’ Happy Christmas ~ Mochita, Akari, and the Jinx of the Heart~" tomorrow and I AM NOT READY.

I still didn't recover from pulling for Hiyori... why... my favourite ship getting an event... I'm gonna die...

with the Afterglow SOL coming up, I figured I should probably explain a few things since these are common with argnv now and D4DJ did some(?) as well, but this is gonna be the first BanDori one.

for those folks who are still kinda ?? on what an SOL even is (I know I sure was at first lol), it's basically what you would expect a live to be, except instead of videos, all the songs are the studio recorded audio only (mostly //stares at the recent Gyro SOL) with a still image (mostly). there's usually a voice drama the live is set around, MC sections, and perhaps even new songs. they also tend to put some effects on the songs to make it sound more live-y (reverb in particular), as well as audience cheers in between. "sound only" is kinda a lie with argnv at this point cause they use MVs for some of the songs and tend to put visual effects on the last one at the very least - I'd imagine we can expect the One Of Us MV with this one, for example.

basically, it's a free live that isn't actually live! it's very neat and I highly recommend checking it out if you're not sure yet if you wanna.

also, I'd like to elaborate a bit on Ryougi's point here:

The fact that this will be a no archived stream means that it probably be a "once in a lifetime", unless some fans actually clipped/record the whole thing and then reupload it on their own (Which, even if i would appreciate, it definitely won't be a nice thing to do, either to the girls and the company, and probably it would be taken down ASAP).

please do not do this, record it for yourself or friends who may miss it if you really want to, but please don't put it online, it's just super poor manners and may influence their decisions to make content like this for us in the future. however, there may be reruns eventually! so far every argnv SOL except Crossing Day 1/2 (which were stand-ins for a real live that couldn't happen) and PREFACE (which will likely be rerun alongside the upcoming Argonavis one later) got rerun at least once, DesFes even twice. so even if you count Day 2 to be the first rerun, there may be others later. I wouldn'tstake my life on it, but all hope is not lost.

Lmao

Ummm I'm basically going to talk about next event FOREVER I'm literally looking so much forward to it

There are literally half of my best girls in this event... Expect for Ran sorry :)... And Eve's costume will probably make me spend my 1250 stars... Yey

I have 9 appas ( 1 that i keep in memorial of the event so I will use 8 ), 2 boost drinks and 4 mini boost drinks... I have some missions that give me lots of mini boost drinks so i think I'll have more than 16 when I'm done with them. I was planning to do the 5 play gacha for an extra 2 boost drinks but I'm unsure since again, I'm not spending my stars till white day and that's it.

I'm planning to do a top 1000, my team can be strong and i have literally 2 100%+ skill characters and 2 110%+ until great skill characters, one level 3 and my Eve as a level 4 to back me up, Himari with her health skill is a level 3 too. Only one at level 1 is Ran since i spent the rest of my skill tickets for her pure 4* but i will try to do something about it. I never go higher than 1000 because 1. Festivities and 2. Since I'm european and i think most of the EN players are from the U.S.A... that means losing a bit of ranks, and it's hard to keep up most of the time.

By the way, here's what my team is going to look like!! All members have their episodes read for extra power

Seeing rabbits, skill level 2

Party time!, skill level 3

Still got a Lot to learn, skill level 4 [Leader]

We're here!, skill level 3

Earnest dreams, skill level 1

Good luck to you too if you are planning to tier in any event that's coming up tho!

roll cakes arrived!!!! squishy

Otsukare!

My first T100 in Bandori and oh it was a wild ride. From the start of me pulling for the gacha banner to just wanting to stay at a high rank. Now I can rest in bandori and focus on other games!

YouTube video

Friendly reminder that this week, on Friday and Saturday in the official Japanese Youtube channel of Bandori will broadcast the First Sound only Afterglow live, i'll add the links for both days in the comments. but for now, here's a more or less accurate translation of the event info displayed in both videos

"Performances

• Afterglow

Date & Time

• December 19th (Sat), 20th (Sun) 19:00 JST
• Broadcast will begin 30 minutes prior to the event.
• The content of the performance will be the same for both days.

Broadcast information

• You can watch it for free on YouTube "Bandori Channel☆".
• There will be no archived streaming of this performance.
• Super Chat is available for this performance. We hope you will support us."

The fact that this will be a no archived stream means that it probably be a "once in a lifetime", unless some fans actually clipped/record the whole thing and then reupload it on their own (Which, even if i would appreciate, it definitely won't be a nice thing to do, either to the girls and the company, and probably it would be taken down ASAP). But what has left me a little impressed was the decision of allowing Super chats (Aka Youtube's way to call donations) this would be the best way for the fans to show they support and let know that we want this kind of content as well.

Hinako (stage costume)

The moment when:

Next event has basically characters i have all 4* of and 2 of them give me a 50% boost

BUT:

When it runs i have 2 full days of school, Christmas Eve, Christmas and Saint Stefan.....

Goodbye tiering for top 1000

okay so.

I was playing two hours straight so that I can secure a spot in Top 1K. At THREE MINUTES before the cutoff, I was at #1030. I knew 3 mins is enough time to squeeze 1 more attempt and I accepted my fate.

"Calculating..." "#991"

I JUMPED BY 39. FROM ONE 3-FLAME MULTI-LIVE PLAY.

my heart is still racing from how clutch that was omggg;;;;;;;;

HoneyPre drop rates are A LOT like BanG Dream's
