Hi everyone. Based on my band rank and other stats, I may look like a beginner, but I've actually been playing Bandori for about a year and a half. I was at bank rank 167, maxed out all the area item levels, must have gotten 200+ member cards - including ten 4★ ones - full combo-ed every available song in the game on HARD (was working my way through EXPERT), and amassed thousands of large shards and millions of coins in preparation for Season 2.

However, a few days ago, my game data got corrupted when I logged in while connected to a shady wfi connection. It wiped my one-and-a-half years of game data progress and forced me to start a new game. I tried contacting Bushiroad about it and described my plight to them, but they keep saying that there's nothing that they can do about it.

It pains me to say it, but I'm about to give up trying to get my game data back, and restart all over from scratch. That's one and a half years of memories with Bandori and progress, gone.

But I'm determined to make my new game better than ever, and get back on my feet and back to my previous game stage as quickly as possible. Some of my unlocks may be gone forever - like limited-time stickers and area conversations, event titles, etc. - but I hope to be able to live without that.

And this time, I wish to play the game while being a member of this amazing community.

If anyone sees a player with the name "Riksen" and Player ID 4600096, it would mean a lot to me if you could send me a friend request. That's something else that I've lost from my old game data, and want to rebuild with everyone's help.

Thank you so much, and I hope to get to know everyone in this community! :)
