Imagine starting a branch mainly with fresh/newcomer VAs and landing Tsubame's VA who outclasses everyone else.

While I'm sure Tsubame's songs definitely came before Yukka was hired, I'm wondering if they knew how good she was shifted things.

I mean, the gist is to get it right once.
After you fetch a election exam deck that's good enough to beat HIF you can just repeat that process. Every run is like five minutes at most anyway, even casually it sounds achievable.

It'd be cool if they allowed you to reset the HIF bonus so not only you can redistribute any time but also do Challenge Runs without them.

At this point, it feels like the people who can't do it probably just don't have them maxed out.

They both give 1 clear for that achievement. Ideally, you just make 1 strong pre-final deck and then start farming final.

There's some "discourse" going around on the GK MR live, rather, how they all had new recordings for all the songs.

But isn't that normal? Feels like most of the SC ones had new recordings. Probably the AS ones too but I cant recall at the moment.

Amana P-SSR8 (Longing) Commus translated
https://youtu.be/UMF_JGSCKn8

Once again, translations are much looser—this time to prioritize flow. If anybody notices any large discrepancies, please let me know. Otherwise, other feedback and questions are always welcome.
Embarrassingly it somehow slipped my mind that title of the card—longing— was a direct reference to the theme of the entire set of commus.
Obviously, I knew that’s what it meant but I didn’t make the connection that it was explicitly linked to 憧れ until after I finished my initial draft since my head defaults to translating it along the lines of “admire” and its derivatives.
I’ve gone through again for the final version and tried to link it explicitly to the word “longing” and its derivatives, but frankly I gave up on the last two commus because they didn’t read as well when translated as such.

I’ll see if I can get Amana’s precolle done next (mostly because it’s like 8 minutes long). For now, I’ll say that I think it’s very cute in more ways than one , but it was sort of a missed opportunity.

I’ve written up a personal interpretation as usual, but a lot of the things I wanted to discuss need me to draw from Amana’s later cards. Like I said before, I’ll probably save most of my thoughts when I get to them.
Also, the entire thing isn’t very well organized, and the latter half is incredibly schizophrenic. Read at your own discretion.

>Personal reading/interpretation
As I mentioned before, the concept of longing for something is the obvious central theme for this card. This predominantly manifests in the commus initially as the admiration Amana’s fans hold towards her and subsequently when SCP professes his admiration for Amana (at least for her work ethic and initiative), as well as in, obviously, Amana’s Plove.

You mean lyrics, MV or what? As far as lyrics go, most of them are aimed at an ambiguous third party.
Otherwise, well.

While Amana is easily able to disclose and act accordingly on her desire to close the gap between herself and her fans, the same cannot be said for the gap between her and SCP.
Amana is characteristically unable to move forward with her relationship with him, despite both these cases seemingly being rooted in the same sense of longing.
Amana’s reasoning is eventually explicitly stated in P-SSR10, so I won’t delve into it too much here, but the way she chokes up before forcing an awkward smile hits a lot closer to home than I care to admit.

The aspect of this card that was especially poignant to me was SCP noting that he can’t just admire Amana from a distance but needs to stand by her side. Like obviously it’s very sweet and all, but it made me draw an immediate parallel of SCP’s relationship with Amana and the relationship between the player and Amana.
I have no idea if this was intended by the writers, but it made me consider the following— have I done anything to make me worthy of calling myself an AmanaP? Like sure, I could silently intake all her content without ever moving out of this comfort zone, or I could endlessly post about how much I want to fuck her, but at the end of the day, neither of these two things are things I can proudly say I did for my idol. Granted, this also made me spiral into considering what I’ve ever done outside of drifting through life, but I’m not here to blogpost.
I can’t definitively speak for everyone else, but I imagine this is how at least a handful of people who devote a portion of their limited time making contributions—regardless of how small or large—to this franchise must feel.
Regardless, I think this is another aspect where the concept of longing comes in. The impact won’t be as obvious if you don’t like Amana since it does largely capitalize on the player’s feeling towards her (sort of like a mirror with her own feelings), but it does nicely wrap the card up in my opinion.

Damn, Reversi had better up their game

I like it a lot when an idol's image color is also literally her hair color, or at worst, eye color
I don't like it when a design doesn't do that...

Unrelated to Amana, but how do you make your thumbnails? I kinda want to put more into making mine.

I've been spamming Misuzu Superlative in HIF since rolling her in the free gacha. I'm becoming a MisuzuP so fast.

It just has to complement the design or personality. By your standard, pink would be a better colour for Sena than Rinami.
