We love Amana
Somebody posted about a pick ticket being a reward for some event in GK.Can't check the game right now but what is it exactly?
Another kotone thread?
We really do.
>>565217442Don't hypnotize Naa-chan...
>>565217570You pick a free support card. One of the ones from the support card shop
I need an Asahi GF
>>565217686Ah, that.Think I got it already.
A cute Kotone
>>565217593We love Kotone here, hating her is illegal now.
>>565217870ugly
>>565217870Eh
I forgot
So looking at Rinha going from the Misuzu step 3.>Obsessed with idols in general, not just the Hanami sisters>Loves to kiss things she really likesAlready sparks for when P produces her it looks.
Now that all the Step 3's are out (Tsubame pending), rank them.
>>565218101Oh God. She's even worse than a dyke or a siscon.She's a w*ta
Temari: GluttonyMisuzu: SlothRinha: Lust
Is her disease fixable? I want her to be the mother of my children.
oh no
KotoMisu must be eradicated
>>565218191SakiUmeSumikaTemariMaoMisuzuRinamiChinaLiljaHiroSena-Wall of quality-KotoneThe more I think about it, the angrier I get about Kotone's. It feels so small and convenient in a bad way. Some feel a bit too "literally nothing" (like Hiro's, Sena's or Lilja's), but Kotone is the only one that actively makes her character worse.
>>565218336SyngUp! shared sin: EnvyTemari: Wrath and GluttonyMisuzu: Pride and SlothRinha: Lust and Gloom
Why did Kotone's thread flop in /a/? I thought she was super popular.
>>565218405No, Wizard-san, you're supposed to put a baby in the gloomy one that gives mean gloved handjobs
>>565218648Kotone thought she was Hiro
>>565218648Stop trying to force this stupid angle because you're bored.
>>565218648You're gonna keep posting about this for a while, aren't you?
>>565218405Just gotta hurry and hope you beat the clock.And also hope that it's not genetic.
>>565217686Damn so none of the newer support cards, would've loved the gachapon tsubame one
So why's the schizo pretending to be a Kotone anti now?

>>565218636Sumika is the exact same "literally nothing" as Lilja, except we didn't get to hang out with Shion for a bit. Why do you have her near the top?
>>565218405Assuming it's true she's descended from Vlad Tepes it's probably some inbreeding autoimmune thing so probably not sorry dood
I don't get how the new miss suzu card and the current event works. Is there any documentation or a simple guide for this?
>>565219031Because people here will clap for you hating her
>>565219572Inbreeding diseases are usually caused by recessive genes, so replacing it with dominant P genes should hide most of them.
How do we save Kotone?
>>565217593Birthday girl gets birthday love
>>565220184Go back in time and abort her
You wouldn't be able to tell she has bad genes from looking at her.
I love golden week.
>>565218648There's no GK anime and Kotone's manga isn't popular at all, so a GK thread was doomed to fail.
>finally get a beloved main yellow after 15 years>manufactured hatred starts popping upNot suspicious at all
>>565220461Killee body but shit health doesn't seem that genetic
>>565220609>startshow new
>>565220684Bad genes usually implies deformities as well. Look at all the inbreeding european royals.
>>565218191Saki's is the best by a longshotSena and Kotone's are the worst by a longshotEverything else is some flavor of "good" to "whatever"

>>565220864I eat goth meguru ass every day
>>565220925This. Meguru's just fuckmeat but it's fine high grade fuckmeat.
My observation is that /@/'s dislike of Kotone has always been more of a "nobody gives a shit so don't bother bringing her up" thing than a "fly into a rage if anyone brings her up" thing.It is simultaneously true that one guy is trying to make Kotone hate a thing right now, and that we dislike Kotone.
>>565221185Dislike and indifference are 2 separate things. Personally, i lost interest in her after Gold Rush.
>>565220864Meguru at least lives up to what a main yellow should be.
>>565221302Genki and friendly?
>>565220864What is this M. C. Escher shit?
i love Nono!
>>565220609People loved Miki though?
>>565221370It is two "things", that's for sure, a pair, even.
>>565221573People still mald about her anime arc today
>>565221575Her pair of friends that are red and blue?
I remember some anons here souring on Kotone after MOIW2025.
Chitose's illness is entirely made up to make her live life to the fullest. She would not be able to partake in idol activities if she was actually dying. Her symptoms are all in her head. Her treatment is all placebo.No I do not know anything about this character. No I do not care if this fucks with her themes. No I will not hear any arguments on this matter.

>>565221768
>>565221764You're not particularly wrong because it's not like she's ever actually going to die anyway
>>565218071What is this?
>>565221168Doesn't her body there look weird to anyone else?
Rotating the three main rivalries to Saki/Sena, Temari/Ume, and Kotone/Misuzu so that Re;IRIS are all actually intimidated by their Begrazia counterparts, even though this destroys all six of their stories and any chemistry they have with their rivals.
>>565221687Why was she the only solo song featured? Why didnt she have to sing the other older songs?
Yellow gremling fatigue hitting all time high.

I love my loli wife
>>565221764Magic and ghosts and ayylmaos and curses and spooks annd Usamin also all canonically exist in iM@S anyway, so it’s not like anything is really unfixable.
>>565222070she's just stretching out

they sure dodged that win last nightMAKEMYDAYYY
>>565222414Just because I want them to bring out Miki doesn’t mean I love Miki.
>>565220609Average GK fag with no awareness of other branches
>>565222158>Why was she the only solo song featured?It wasn't, Taiyou and Otome are Haruka's image song just to name 2 other solos
>>565222460Have to root for the Marlins. They beat the Mets when we needed it most.
>>565222663I think they mean she was the only one who got to perform a song solo, unless other GK girls joined in but I dont remember that being the case
>>565222158No, SideM had two solo songs/performances on Day 2 by Teru and Hokuto.
>>565222828This was a special case though, given they were the only ones representing their respective units. Probably better to give them a solo than to do a solo rendition of unit songs
>>565222767used to be a lot worse, yeah

>>565222946I mean, call it what you want but it's still a solo performance done by themselves. Kotone at least had other GK sluts come in the later verse.
>>565222768She did the first half solo, GKs joined laterSame thing happened with Ume and her solo on Day 2Teru and Hokuto had mini-solos on Day 2 because their full units weren't thereEither way I saw people get mad about Kotone in particular because she was the first so people were caught off guard and "getting to sing iM@S solo in Tokyo Dome" is a privilege not even Haruka has gotten so it felt egrigiousMOIW 2025's biggest flaw wasn't even how they treated GK (even though it was bad), it was how much of it was just "MOIW 2023 but worse because we already used the most iconic songs there" with things like how they tried to replicate SideM Tulip / girls Moon Night and failed or had nothing on par with Haruka/Touma Go My Way or housewife Koi no Hamburg
>>565222768Pikarun didn't perform a song solo though, she was always with others. Even for shuki it was all of the GK day 1 girls
It's really impressive how the mafiosos in the 283 family get to flex their vocal chords in the new SSR and how different they sound as boys
>>565223319Spamming her here now after the /a/ thread failed
>>5652224142006 is before the timeframe of 15 years. I assume they gave that number instead of 20 years because Miki is an exception.
>>565223319That Kotone is too big...
>>565223316>like how they tried to replicate SideM TulipI don't know, people went wild for the shichau in refrain kiss
>>565223421>There's another anon here taking my making fun of Kotone schtick Get your own idol to make fun of
>>565223506the clothes make her look bigger
>>565222754I bet a femP drew that because they made Amana look like an ikeman.
>>565223316My biggest grip with MoIW2025 is that not all idols were allowed in the Medleys, I believe MoIW2023 have them all participate.
>>565223569If you "act" like a retard you will attract other retards.
My gripe is that Non-chan wasn't included with the other nadeshikos in the medley
>>565223814That's because nadeshikos are gentle and demure and Misuzu isn't either of those things.
>>565223547My point is that instead of doing anything new they just retread a whole lot of old ground which is why MOIW 2025 had a much weaker lasting impact than 2023 didLives are always going to be great in the moment unless they're really fucked
>>>/jp/50898424New /jp/, this time with Hasshi
>>565224024Hasshi needs to go back to dark hair, it looked better.
MOIW 2025 being a rehash of 2023 was just a mistake in general. They fucked it up when it was JUST crossbranch slop.Instead, each performance should have been Ray of Light tier where they go over and beyond. I don't really care if every idol who was born on a Monday sang the Born on a Monday song, I'd rather they elevate and do performances that can't be done in a "normal live".
>>565223316>spoilerAgreed. It was still good but I remember way more moments of 2023 than 2025 despite being older.
>>565224450For me it's the opposite because MOIW2023 was my first live so a lot of it was on the moment euphoria that disappeared from my head soon after. Whereas by 2025 I had been to enough lives that I could retain more things.
Whatever nerds, Temari's VA gave her all singing Ai Like Hamburger and that alone made it worth it.
>>565224613I hope they sing Ai Like Hamburger at ACen. If not there then it's never happening in the land of burgers.
unless you're full danketsu, each subsequent moiw will probably appeal to you less as more and more idols get added over time. even if you are full danketsu, you're still gonna have favorites.
>>565224613My favorite part was when Yayoi's VA sang really deep and sultry for a single verse and then never again and just acted like it never happened
