I've been playing BanDori since JP launch (if with a break until the Fairy event) and then again on EN since launch, and I have never, not once in my entire cute girls band management career, gotten anything good from Golden Tickets. I think I got an Inital Arisa 3* I hadn't had yet on JP once, but that's it.

I've gotten 4*s - all dupes (and usually Birdcage Yukina LEAVE ME ALONE and like three copies of Pajama Tae). any other 3*? a dupe. I got to a GT on my second day of ever playing BanDori EN because I'd managed to pull two dupe 4*s very early on, and even then the 3* I got from that pull was a dupe.

when I tap the GT scout button, I think to myself, "which dupe am I getting today?", not as a spiteful comment on my bad luck, but a genuine question. I know I'm getting a dupe. that's just how it goes.

why do I keep trying? what is a GT but a cruel reminder that Babanbo-sama holds us all hostage and plays with us like puppets on a string? how many hundreds of Michelle Stickers that could have been used on event cards were lost to the cold, uncaring void that lurks beneath Live House CiRCLE, as it hungers for the tickets and souls of those who were foolish enough to attempt to stare into it? WHY ARE WE ON THIS EARTH, IF NOT TO SUFFER,
