Happy New Year!

I took made Ran Michelle in winter school for different years, for those if you might confused about color, I would like ask about Haneoka school outfit color like that:

• In the left one, it is first year (Green)
• In the middle one, it is 2nd year (Blue)
• In the right now, it is 3rd year (brown/chocolate)

I would gonna make afterglow 2nd year and 3rd year for this one, but in different character including such as Himari and Moca.

WELCOME TO: SHOULD YOU SCOUT FOR THE NEW JPN 4 STARS?

i'm your host with a large large spreadsheet and i'm here to show you how the new 4 star hagumi & tae cards match up to the rest of the 4 stars available for them

1. HANAZONO TAE "Charging Power in Progress"

ok,,, in theory, this is the best 4 star tae card. however, her skill compounds itself, meaning that while it's possible to get a 150% score increase, that requires hitting 100 perfect notes in 7 seconds. it's probably more realistic to consider it a 125% or 120% score increase, but it doesn't only apply to perfect notes. either way, this card can rival both tae's dreamfes cards, though the overall power is lower than both. it's a bit of a trade off

2. KITAZAWA HAGUMI "Returning Hundreds of Times, Gathering Good Fortunes"

personally, i value score % above raw power, but this card isn't too terrible for either. tbh, this card is a really really good balance of raw power and score percentage; usually you see a trade-off between the two, but this card has both above average scoring and power potential. i think it could be pretty disgusting(/pos) if you've got your harohapi area items leveled up, but pure isn't a very good typing for them because of kaoru specifically

overall,,, i'm kinda surprised. i didn't expect these cards to be very good at first glance, but they actually compare REALLY well with having the highest combined z-score of their respective characters. i might start doing this more regularly if i can keep on top of releases, who knows. ill definitely plug in the new dreamfes cards and do those in a sec tho, if anyones curious

Happy New Year 2023!

Here is Mashiro Michelle in Winter Casual, although the color was different better than me I made. Thanks to Kokokokona from bestdori for making this.

I'm sure I wonder there is 5th anniversary for endori, but the event was accelerated for some reason and didn't want postpone. Backstage Pass 5 was supposed until in April month before anniversary.

So, I don't know what to say, but at least I need spend more stars. as always, enjoy in the new year 2023!

В Японии наступил Новый 2023 год, а у меня уже - час назад! Хочу поздравить всех с наступающим и наступившим Новым годом. Хоть я и присоединилась к Бандори Парти в ноябре, но мне здесь очень нравится! Здесь прекрасные люди, администрация. Я хочу и дальше здесь быть активной! Надеюсь, этот (2023) год будет таким же незабываемым!!!! (Томоэ выпала с билетика на 3-звёздочную и выше карту)

why does this game refuse to give me 4 stars in free pulls- I got a dupe misaki from dream fest, which wasn’t even for free :/

WELCOME TO: SHOULD YOU SCOUT FOR THE NEW JPN DREAMFES CARDS

i'm your host with my crazy little spreadsheet and i'm here to tell you how the new dreamfes chisato, yukina, and pareo cards line up against all the other ones!!

1. SHIRASAGI CHISATO "Frustrations Melting Into The Steam"

Chisato is a nepotism baby i swear i think she has the most 4 stars out of any character, maybe only rivaled by kasumi. anyways, this card is pretty good, as most dreamfes cards are, but only when used in an all pasupare band. chisato has a lot of cards now with the perfect compounding ability, one of which thats a standard card, that can work much better as an all-rounder type deal for both main bands and events. it's overall better than her other dreamfes card tho

2. MINATO YUKINA "Surrender to The White Snow"

For some reason Yukina has been losing terribly when it comes to scoring on her 4 star cards, so this dreamfes card is actually a very big win. i'd scout for her personally, because there really is no other 4 star card out that can increase your score as much as this one. a W for yukina in all honesty

3. PAREO "Reona, Good Work Today Too♪"

Ah, loml. these are honestly my fav kind of bandori dreamfes cards, but i digress. since pareo has so few cards, the data is a bit skewed. i would personally consider this the best pareo card available; it's only that basically every pareo card is around the same power that the standard deviation from that average is really low, making her one card with ~31800 power before stories 2 deviations away thus bumping its score. pareo has overall really good cards, but this dreamfes card i think becomes the best that we have so far

they're dreamfes cards, so they're exactly what you'd expect: really good. its just chisato's that makes me a bit wary, but don't let that stop you from trying to scout her because: it is a very pretty card. once again, i'll see if i can keep doing this for banners as they release, if i can try to stay on top of things, but the math is really easy and i've linked the spreadsheet with all the current cards if you wanna make a copy and just check things yourself :) good luck scouting!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE 💞❤️❤️🥳🥳

It's impossible to even imagine it's already 2023 in Japan because it's only 12 am where I live

THE FESTY AWARDS WINTER 2021

(i have decided to make an awards show for the best cards of the season. i might make more of these in the future dreamfests if people like this. well see. im DEFINITELY not making this because ill go nuts if i dont take a break from tiering and have adhd WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT. im going to be marking the non-dreamfest categories by events that've taken place very recently, I think in the past month.)

CATEGORY: BEST CARD THAT'S TECHNICALLY NOT PART OF DREAMFEST

The nominations are:

~CHISATO: Recent New Year's card

~YUKINA: Recent Christmas card

~AKO: Recent Christmas card

~TOMOE: Recent Christmas card

AND THE FESTY GOES TO:

CHISATO FOR RECENT NEW YEAR'S CARD!

While my Tomoe bias might cause me to think the Tomoe is BETTER, The Chisato is truly art. I first laid eyes on it around 60 seconds ago and I'm already in love. The camerawork and color scheme take it for me.

CATEGORY: BEST RECENT 3*

The nominations are:

~MASHIRO: Recent New Year's card

~SAAYA: Recent Christmas card

~SAYO: Recent Christmas card

~LISA: Recent Christmas card

AND THE FESTY GOES TO:

SAYO FOR RECENT CHRISTMAS CARD!

Yeah, I knew I loved this card the second I saw it. I think a part of me was just WAITING to talk about it. the contrast between her beautifully-styled cyan hair and green eyes with the striking red, while and green on the dress, with the background containing the tree, presents, and a reindeer decoration, and the ROSE PETALS IN THE GLASS SHE'S HOLDING- In my opinion, the best card in the set.

CATEGORY: BEST RECENT 2*

The nominations are:

~KASUMI: Recent New Year's card

~AKO: Recent Christmas card

~RINKO: Recent Christmas card

There were 3 2*'s in the past month

AND THE FESTY GOES TO:

RINKO FOR RECENT CHRISTMAS CARD!

Yeah, Rinko takes it. The candle and the outfit, as well as her shading, are what make her REALLY stand out from the crowd for me.

CATEGORY: BEST UNTRAINED 4*

The nominations are:

~LOCK: New Year's 2022 Dreamfest card

~LISA: New Year's 2022 Dreamfest card

~HIMARI: Recent New Year's card

~AKO: Recent Christmas card

AND THE FESTY GOES TO:

AKO FOR RECENT CHRISTMAS CARD!

I almost feel bad. I really didn't think I liked Roselia Christmas that much, and I DIDN'T, I mean I LIKED it but didn't LOVE it. However, the way the entire band is gathered around in Ako's card, through the window, playing games, in the warm lighting, all looking so happy... it gives me that same warmth as listening to old-timey Christmas songs while drinking hot chocolate by a warm fireplace, which is the only lighting for the giant Christmas tree... I can't really DESCRIBE it. Just... magic. I'm willing to hear the argument that Lisa got robbed, and that CHU2's new card got snubbed for the nominee's list entirely (it was #5, trust me), but these are the Festys®. Don't ask questions.

AND NOW, THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR:

CATEGORY: BEST DREAMFEST CARAD

The nominations are:

~LOCK: New Year's 2022 Dreamfest card

~LISA: New Year's 2022 Dreamfest card

~NANAMI: Christmas 2021 Dreamfest card

~ARISA: Christmas 2021 Dreamfest card

Well, let me just start off by saying, all the nominees have done AMAZING work in the past month. These are all gorgeous cards in their own way. LOCK'S card has a FANTASTIC use of bright colors and combines different art styles in a way that hasn't been done so seemlessly since AKO'S DFv2 IN JULY OF THE YEAR BEFORE. Lisa's card has an absolutely jaw-droppingly GORGEOUS color and lighting scheme, and is the most mature she's EVER looked while miraculously not also being sexualized. Arisa's card is the absolutely perfect balance of maintaining subtlety and bringing things to your attention with how much is going on in both the background and foreground with the border decorating, and the Nanami card captures her personality in a way only a select few DFv2 cards have. While it looks like it's TRYING to be your standard beautiful DFv2 card, Nanami's weird personality can't help shine through with the paint splatters, clashing classiness and creativity perfectly. Any of these cards could win. But only one can.

...And only 1 was ever going to.

THE FESTY FOR BEST DREAMFEST CARD GOES TO:

LISA IMAI WITH THE NEW YEAR'S 2022 DREAMFEST CARD!!!!

Her expression. Her pose. Her outfit. Her hair. The clutter of makeup, perfume, letters, roses, playing cards, and balloons over the checkered and rose-patterned floor. All of it. FANTASTIC. The glasses in her hand are a real standout, too. It's an AMAZING card. Congratulations to all the nominees, but Lisa's won.

THAT'S ALL FOR THE FESTYS! It's amazing how much time this took, as well as what tiering, chocolate, and ADHD can do to my brain. I really took out the time to not only link every single card nominated, but also create COVER ART lmao. See ya'll soon! Seriously, let me know if I should continue doing these. This WAS really fun though! Happy New Year's!!

I dont know what too say with this, but Happy New Years Eve!

Happy New Year Bandori
