yknow when I said my last news post would be rendered incomplete by the time the spring livestream came around? yeah.

it's ARGONAVIS news roundup, but no pictures for everything because I'm too tired to look them up. orz

they announced a whole lot of updates both in terms of songs and in terms of the game itself, which are gonna be happening in the next few months, leading up to the half anniversary. this includes a rerun of the Start Dash gacha, what looks to me like an overhaul of the tutorial, campaigns, and some polishing up of the chibi section UI-wise. I'm not gonna go into super much detail, but up there's the schedule!

there will be a biiig voting happening for LR Fes Round 1! the top 3 winning bands will get accessories in the game, while the winning band gets a special album release AND the jacket art of that as AAside card(s), which is pretty dang neat.

perhaps more importantly, this voting will in fact affect the main story. we don't really know how yet though. I've seen plenty of people jump to conclusions that we'll just flat out vote the winner of LR Fes, but I doubt it'll be that simple considering the way the story has been right now. the way I see it, it'll mostly be about where the bands are standing in terms of popularity and how the characters deal with that, which could be reeaaaally interesting. like, imagine Shuu, who rly doesn't care about this festival, being the favourite. or Nayuta, who's here to win it all, getting anything below second ...

the way the voting works is you get a serial code with your purchase of JUNCTION/Y, merch, etc, and the albums released in July - worth 5 points each for the BD versions, 1 for the normal ones. speaking of which ...

we're finally getting the next numbered singles for bands that aren't Argonavis (seriously how did Gyro get an album before a second numbered single)! all of them release on July 14 and their BluRay versions will contain episodes of the anime. the songs are as follows:

• Argonavis: Kanousei* / Stand by me!!
• GYROAXIA: WITHOUT ME* / BREAK IT DOWN*
• Fantôme Iris: Zakuro / Kyouki no Melody
• Fuujin RIZING!: Ranganran / Yumemiru Boy Mamoru Tame
• epsilon phi: Cynicaltic Fakestar / Sake it L0ve!

* newly announced song

rip my wallet

anime movie confirmed for 2022, and in 2021 we'll get a recap of the first season (tentatively called Prelude), which also was dubbed again and recut, so it's quite polished up from the original! that's pretty dang neat. there'll also be a new song for it ~

if you haven't seen Live Royal Fes 2020 (the Live, not the game event), now's your chance! tomorrow, on the 1st, at 18:00 JST, the whole thing will be streamed on YouTube! it's an excellent live don't miss it!!! (seriously it's very good if you're interested please watch it)

ARGONAVIS live stage info. I'm too lazy to go into more detail. just look at the website where you'll also find that boys cute. thank you

speaking of boys being cute and extremely powerful, Bushiroad is getting a new theme song, written & composed by none other than Itou Masahiro (Ren VA) and Hyuuga Daisuke (Yuuto VA), because they're just that talented and strong and I cannot believe this how are they this powerful DO YOU KNOW THE POTENTIAL THIS HAS. Bushi having acknowledged Masa & Hyuu as songwriters means we could have an Argonavis song WRITTEN BY ARGONAVIS MEMBERS. Hyuusuke already played the acoustic guitar in the Ryuuseiu recording ... I love it when they involve the seiyuu more in this stuff aaAAAAA--

game streams go into the next round and quite possibly final round! these are always loads of fun, so I'm looking forward to this one too! also listen to Mano-chin's wonderful narration he's doing a great job

or I WOULD if this wasn't on my last day of INTERNSHIP which means I have WORK and can't SEE IT sobssssssssss I mean they're always archived but it takes a while ........................................ sob sob ....................................................................................

I ... I think that's all ... aside from some minor stuff I didn't deem relevant enough to post ... I hope I didn't forget anything god they put way too much into this stream I could barely follow at all ... I'm just wheeeeeeeeeeeeee and my heart is like AAAAAAAAAAAA and yes. goodbye
