First pulldown box asks your feelings:
>It is fresh and spicy
>I have no feeling
>The old one route story is better
>The tempo is worse and annoying
>It is grear for self insert

2nd question asks how many branching points should there be:
>Current amount is just fine
>I want more
>I want fewer
>I want none

3rd question asks if you want the choice system for other units:
!!!!!!
>Let them have it sometimes
>Absolutely not
>Actively introduce it to them

Last text box lets you fill in reasons for above question

>Toru's choice system
Clarify. Does that mean more self-insert shit or just choices?
Though I also heard that there are people who just hate it anyway because they can't skip for diamonds, so I hope it won't continue going forward. And while I think a choice system can be fun, sometimes you just got to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
>>
>>1961527
I am pretty sure the two are bundled in Donuts's mind. It is always how it works in other gacha games. I play Gakuen Idolmaster too. The event stories set in a timeline without (You) don't have choices to click through, while the main story has both (You) and choice systems.

Donuts will remove the choices but let Toru stay

ALIVE was fucking based as shit go by the fucking
I've constantly failed at getting ePlus setup on my phone (ironically, I got it working *AFTER* the live, so at least next time I can VIP Lottery and all that other good stuff) so the gaijin-friendly pass thing Donuts has been doing lately was a Godsend for me, my wife and some of her online friends.
Venue was shit. Everyone knew it and the cast also seem like they fucking hated it since they made fun of it during the free talk (IDK if it showed up on the stream, but there were two massive-ass pillars in the hall that blocked the view of the stage from basically anywhere you'd be sitting unless you were in the VIP area). The girls did a fucking great job working around it with the choreography though. They always made sure to distribute their placement on-stage so that they spent equal-enough amounts of time on the far-left, far-right and center so everyone could get a good look. The tickets were also on the expensive side, to the point where it probably made the live flop in terms of people showing up in-person (IIRC the venue was supposed to fit like 700-ish. We got about 520 for the day show and a little less than that for the night show, but my group went in before everyone was called so my count might be off. I was in A-Area at the night show though, and there was a comfortable amount of room towards the back so definitely not at-capacity. (!/2. Part 2 is the positives dw)

Other than those gripes, the live itself was fucking legendary. The setlist felt like a goddamn rock opera picking up from where ARK left off (May'n said something to that effect during the free talk at the night show). Even the Abyss songs I normally can't stand like raindrops and junkbox sounded good live because of how much enthusiasm the girls put into it. They somehow crammed Abyssmare's entire discography (except for the old covers they probably couldn't perform + STORY, which was deliberately kept out) + the 5 new songs into a single show with the only real breaks being occasional in-character talk bits + the subtle break of running through the Tano-C instrumental + the 4 solo songs to rest everyone in shifts before the last spurt. The way it was all framed you didn't even feel like it was a break because of how naturally each song progressed into the next.
I'm still mixed on the solo songs but the way that they blend together to make not 4 a lie was very creative and made *that* song + its message hit like a sack of fucking bricks. Very emotional.
I don't know how well it picked up on the stream, but the crowd, though it was on the smaller side, was absolutely feral. I live in bumblefuck nowhere USA where the local cons only have the most bland mainstream stuff so being with other people who will scream the crowd chants for shit like I am the best and jump around to the relevant bits of GITA and Axis the World was a mind-blowing experience.

(also who the fuck scheduled a live on the same day as a con happening in the big sight that also had a heavy yuri focus are you fucking retarded donuts)

Apparently they dropped an event on the weekend in EN. I thought it was weekday only.

I want to draw the Abyss one because it sounds gay. But with how little the diamond income is, I'll rather wait for the equivalent Unigay version.

I got the Christmas set, but it lacks a SP Hayate so I'm hoping to get a new full set. That is also holiday event independent.

Honestly I miss how generous Assault Lily EN was when it was still running.
>>
>>1964935
Only the Elsie card is super gay. I guess Sophia's is too if you squint (and even then only for like 1 line of dialogue)
Wero is her just trying to relax and then getting bothered by Elsie.
Neo is her praising Sophia's music skills then being like one degree nicer than usual to her. I guess you can count that as shipping but D4 has much better to offer.
>>
>>1964962
I mean it could be worse. It could be not gay.
And I really need a secondary team too.

>LIVE was fucking based as shit
I finally had the time to watch the archives and completely agree with you, it was a great live overall.
The pacing and structure of the live really enhanced it, allowing it to have a pretty strong narrative with minimal in-character MCs. It gives an unique identity to Abyssmare lives in the franchise.
I was also not the biggest fan of Junkbox upon first hearing it but the live version is much better.
One of the thing I don't really enjoy with most D4 live is how backing vocals can be overbearing, I'm very happy that this isn't the case for Abyssmare lives.

The new costumes, but also the makeup looked good, maybe it not being a direct attempt to adapt 2D art make them feel more authentic.

The stream by itself was technically fine even if bitrate could be a little bit higher, but show with lights like that will always look a bit ass. Audio was fine and it was nice to be able to hear the cheer of the audience, which given the size was pretty loud.
It really feel more genuine than just polite claps between songs.
It's a bit of a shame that you can't force stream quality on Mixch though but at least they don't upright chare you a gaijin fee.

I really hope we will get more Abyssmare concert, after all it is important that they're called that, in the future.
>>
The road to the Abyssmare 2nd concert is pretty good too. They fucking performed live for the weekend live stream, did regular short guerrilla streams and the behind the scene videos on rehearsal and recording are very interesting.

>>
>>1965233
>>1965245
I give may'n the credit for all the production value stuff. From her blog/tiwtter, she apparently loves abyssmare to death which is lucky for us, since her own solo stuff does like 15X better numbers-wise and forced her own personal staff to take over the production (stage, lighting, sound design, etc.). She even apologized to them all for taking time out of her tour schedule to make everyone work on this.
It really showed though. I hope the project can live long enough that I can see another one some day or May'n convinces someone to buy the rights after EoS. She seems insane enough to at least try it.
>>
>>1965481 (me)
Forgot to mention it in my last post, so I wanted to add that I also really enjoy the element of the abyssmare shows that give them a running plot (even the second UniMare show and their D4FES set had this to a lesser extent). My wife and I jokingly
call them "DJ Operas" but it really is a novel concept.
It was almost a shame that ALIVE wasn't as ambitious in that department as ARK was but there's not as much in-game plot to work with this time. At most they could have brought in Karin or Aimi to be Lumina/Kyoko (D4 lives have had "special guests" before) but the logistics of that would have probably been too much and I can see them not wanting to take the focus off of Abyssmare proper.
Either way, I think the live told a really good story about moving on from the past and learning to work with others. I felt like there were layers of meta-commentary about the current state of the franchise as well but that might be reading too much into it.

>>1966481
That checks out. The 2024-2025 year was spent under more-or-less nonstop doomposting when Bushi threw out death flag after death flag for the entire project before finally pulling out. Donuts' early handling of things (budokan debacle, losing Sae, losing 2/4 OG Eggs) didn't do much to inspire people either.
2025-2026 has issues (no actual main plot, cutdown on events + lives, AISlop, no-story slop, beginning of hetslop pushing) but there's also been a renewed sense that the franchise is sticking around + a gradual restoration of things that were lost towards the end of the Bushi days.
IMO all we really need to have another shot at being relevant (well, as relevant as DJs can be, anyway) is some kind of big gamble like an anime or manga adaptation, but IDK if Donuts has the balls or the money to try it.
>>
>>1966521
Well I know a mangaka who might be willing to give it a shot...
That aside, how costly is it to make a manga anyway? I got the impression they are relatively low cost.
>>

>>
>>1966548
Probably less about getting a mangaka and more about getting a magazine that's willing to take you. IDK if donuts has any relevant connections in the industry but seeing as T7S has no external media I doubt it.
Bushi for their many flaws at least had the luxury of owning their own magazine to publish everything in (with the aim being to get people to support multiple bushi franchises, just like how they have Bandori (and in the past, DJs) doing the OPs and EDs for Vanguard and their other anime).

>Another ultrahet collab
Het is what going to save D4DJ on jp
However, I assume the usual people will not complaint like on past collabs because fucking TedddyLoid is there.
But on the other hand, last year was Kadokawa worst one in a while for revenue. So I wonder how cheap Kadokawa's titles are rn to rent. This is one of them (Like Shiunji, but Shiunji collab was when they had not hit the red yet on money lol) so I expect upcoming collabs to be mostly from Kadokawa. I do not recall them producing a yuri anime last year but they did for the supernatural yaoi.

>>
>>1966992
You know that did not matter for the complainers on previous collabs.
Even moreso on that "anti-yuri" collab where it was on an alternative universe and still used girls instead of someone named Toru.

>autistic horror enthusiast kid jumps into 18+ media
kek, many such cases
>>
>>1966995
Maho became a man in that universe
>>
>>1966998
While still being a girl anon
She did not go TS, Maho was still a girl. Only the choosen girls for the collab saw her as a man. Even Maho was freaked out on why they saw her as a man.
You could arguably say westoids were mad they did not go full transition on Maho since back then they were still memory-holing bunny suit Aoi.
>>
>>1967000

>>1967008
Aoi has the biggest tits in the cast
>>
>>1967009
Which is why Maho freaked out anon
She did not bend, she still had nothing down there.
You would think the reason is anti-yuri is because Hayacoco is there. But alas, for that westoids first need to give a fuck about hayacoco actual gay relationship.

Well... At least I somehow managed to scrape together a second growth live fleet for the eventual maybe Unichord growth live.

It's Elegant, and I have an ET2 combo boost and an ET0 life boost. Then I just threw my strongest cards for the rest, which luckily Kyoko rave is ET4 despite her skill being redundant.

I do have a simple upgrade by picking up a Manual Support Elsie from the event shop though, it'll replace an ET1 Toka.

Saw jp denobu fans doomposting themselves now instead of us
how the table turns
should we merge
>>
>>1967714
What were they doomposting about?
Isn't denonbu like the only 2.5D project whose fanbase doesn't hate us for no reason?
>>
>>1967912
1. Their main story WN? has stopped updating apparently
2. There are posts lamenting monthly 2500 yen VIP membership seems to be losing values or something
3. Units seem to be working separately almost as if they are not a franchise anymore
4. Lots of Anniversary promise hasn't been redeemed yet

I think they are about the same place as we were last year from April to October.

The reason I got the posts recommended is because a few of them are saying
1. Denonbu used to work hard 2 years ago while D4DJ was languishing and now it is opposite
2. They wish they have a rhythm game despite BanG Dream fans currently seething at a 2nd rhythm game

Hope they will stream the joint live of Denonbu and EGOEGG next month...
>>
>>1967937
This is literally the first I ever heard of Denonbu having a plot. I thought it was just the music + lives.
Was the plot any good?
A pity because I was also looking forward to the joint live. If anything it's nice that D4 and Denobu get along.
>>
>>1967937
>BanG Dream fans currently seething at a 2nd rhythm game
That's a rhythm game? I thought it was some weird... Frankly I'm not even sure what it is, but I'm fairly certain it isn't a rhythm game.
>>
>>1968193
Our Notes is a rhythm game, but it's for AveMygo + other new units only. OGs are stuck on Garupa and the current fearmongering is that Bushi will EOS Garupa to appease the CCP overlords.
>>
>there's an odd number of gems in my gift box
I have to manually collect my gifts now...
>>
>>1968193
>>1968259
Everyone expected it to be a raising sim like Idolmaster, Idoly Pride, Uma Musume and the last Argonavis game.
Instead it will be competing with Hololive game from Idolmaster and Idoly Pride developer, and old Garupa.
It is a bizarre business decision.
>>
>>1968145
They have manga and web novels
>>
>>1968405
>Everyone expected it to be a raising sim
I thought people expected that based on some hard info.
You're telling me that's just pure speculation then.

Pity, I'm already at my edge needing to do say the growth boss fights, I might have looked at it if it wasn't a rhythm game. I want something more afk.
>>
>>1968409
They didn't show gameplay at reveal so everyone thought it would be something new and surprising.
I guess they didn't show it at that time because it is literally just Garupa/Prosekai/Hololive again and they knew people would get mad at the old dori and nu-dori split.

Seems that way. Hoping the feedback from last survey starts to be implemented and Toru's role starts diminishing with him eventually fading back into the shadows. One can dream, anyway.

>>
>>1969695
Don’t worry about me. I only voted 770k votes in total; I didn’t grind that much for Michiru. 670k of those were tickets I earned last month that were about to expire, so I decided to use them on her. Since the competition wasnt intense at all, I grinded an extra 100k votes yesterday just to see if she could win. Yes, I’m a Kokoafag, but I like uc as a whole. My d4dj character tier list is basically: Kokoa > uc > everyone else > Toru.

Anon who made the website for data-mining the game, how are you determining the time left on the D4U themes?
The last one with the Tano-C one wound up being off by a few hours, so I was curious as to why.
>>
>>1972148
>how are you determining the time left on the D4U themes
Do they not have fixed times, i.e. they end at the same time as the monthly quest reset?
I'm on EN and I might be going for No.1 this time, depending on what my challenger is actually doing. And obviously I want to drop the bomb at the last moment for several reasons. And I'll definitely hate to overshoot. Because again for several reasons, what I do this month isn't easily repeated.
>>
>>1972235
monthly supporter ranking does, but the theme rankings seem to just kind of start/end whenever donuts feels like it. It's very strange.
Unrelated: A new survey is out. Looks like they're taking the criticism about recent card art (i.e. no untraineds) seriously.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfYcpC_0XcgYKgqHJE_YQYJODJvXIYUOWNr9v__mcPgxBIzoQ/formResponse?pli=1
>>
>>1972443
>no untrained critcisim
I thought they just ran out of idea after fantasy set and want some inspiration from us
Although a lot of my favorite cards are the untrained due to story related scenes with multiple characters
>>
>>1972451
One of the options for "why did you like this art" is "other characters appear" (他のキャラクター…) and that only happens in untrained arts. So I imagine that, even if they're going to continue to be stubborn about SPs/CPs, they're at least going to start letting card arts themselves be ship fodder again (which is the main thing a lot of people miss about having the untrained arts anyway).

Has this year's collab been "lacking"? Like how many collabs have we had so far? I feel like we were have one every other week last year.
>>
>>1977892
The most frequently we had was once every month
under Donuts we have one every two months on average
>>
>>1977751
Bushi era had women-only seats also so I wouldn't call it new.
Current M4 live has a women's only area but it's at the front of A area instead of being in S area. The tickets are cheap though so I guess that's the trade-off.
I'm mostly satisfied with the level of lives now that they've managed to ramp back up to having roughly 1 live a month again, I just wish everyone would get them. Peaky/Rondo/Photon have been totally MIA during Donuts' run (Peaky's last 3 lives were all under Bushi's banner even though they'd technically pulled out by that point).
>>
Imo the most annoying thing about cards being SP recently is how they keep giving quarter 4 star per event, but not quarter SPs.

Otherwise I came from Assault Lily where cards only have one art anyway. And not all of them have stories..
>>
Will we ever come back from this event story drought or have Donuts give up...
>>
I imagine once egoegg's campaign wraps up or the GBC vaporware game either comes out, dies or both they'll probably shift gears back to what they were doing in 2025. Surely donuts has realized by this point that eggs aren't the massive hit they assumed they'd be, and will adjust.
In mid-2025 when Unichord was getting featured in either solo/mixed/collab events at a much higher rate than everyone else people complained on JP. It took them a while, but they did eventually adjust (starting from 5th anni, unichord's been feeling the content drought just as badly as everyone else, and they are in literally every single collab anymore either). I think donuts listens to fan feedback, just a painfully slow rate. I wonder if it's a Japanese corporate bureaucracy thing?

>>1979030
>PKPK keep losing
To be fair that's like the entire point of their characters. They peaked in 1st year high school and have trouble keeping up with a good chunk of the other "serious" units (CoA/post-Side Origin Photon/Abyssmare). It feeds Kyoko and Shinobu's inferiority complexes too.
I could probably go on for hours like the autist I am Peaky has the best story content in D4 hands-down and EN only doesn't like them because they have the collective reading comprehension of a rural village in Afghanistan when they even bother to read the stories.

>>
>>1979175
nah
Our step-sisters announced another band for next month. On top that their new announced band has a solo concert scheduled for this year already.
If more bands are coming and their game is in full 3D then more resources are directed to them.
That would explain why the latest collab songs are available for such short time and the unit solo concerts are not handled by donuts.On top of the storyless events.
>>
>>1979288
Isn't GBC mostly funded by Toei ?

>>1979285
I know this is a joke post but I actually think UnichØrd story is good, especially in Side:Nova with Michiru growth from an annoying comic relief.
She had to face the responsibility of an unit leader, including having to deal with ingroup disagreement/hostilities which she really alcks the maturity to do so. That scene when she cries in Rinku's arm is among my favourite.
>>
>>1979290
Joke? No. Main story 3rd chapter is the best story in D4DJ.
>>
>>1979288
They done fucked up. People are already missing the OG band (2 girls still MiA) and doesn't want more bands. GBC is not built for an expanding franchise like this. You don't see Bocchi the Rock being asked to add more bands and they are still doing live and stage everywhere.

>Unichord's story is the best
Unichord's story was good up until the point where Lumina the God Computer became DJ Jesus and started solving everything more or less by herself instead of actually being interesting (i.e. the period during early Side Nova where her being a computer was pushing the other 3 Unichord girls too hard too fast and causing them to burn out). Even Michiru's arc, which was very good initially as >>1979290
pointed out) was more or less thrown in the garbage since, other than having the idea of storming the stage at the end of D4FES USA (an opportunity that only arose thanks to Lumina btw), she more or less has done nothing since beyond sucking Shishou's dick.

Peaky rant in next part because I have nothing better to do on a random Sunday afternoon.
>>
>>1979337 (me)
Peaky has the more interesting dynamic to me because of how much you're forced to read beneath the surface to even understand how their dynamic works.
>Kyoko isn't cool/confident. She only acts that way as part of a stage persona because she thinks that's what Shinobu wants. She's actually a loser tomboy.
>Shinobu feels like she can't get out of Dennojo's shadow. Also being raised by him instead of her actual parents means she has 0 social skills and a massive ego that's actually super fragile.
>Esora can't actually be herself around anyone because as a rich heiress she has to stay under 50 layers of kayfabe at all times. Peaky lets her be herself but that also makes her hyper-sensitive to any inner conflict.
>Yuka is shit I'll give you that, but of the four of them one's gotta be optimistic enough to keep the rest from self-destructing.
So that all that, plus the fact that they initially faced no competition in the plot while steamrolling everyone, and you get a group who think they're the main characters, but actually aren't (since Happy Around and later Unichord are). They also have to be reminded of this constantly since every time they've tried doing something big since D4FES 1 they've gotten BTFO (lost to CoA, BTFO by Photon (side nova), sidelined and irrelevant for D4FES USA, sidelined and irrelevant for XB beyond Kyoko befriending Neo, sidelined and irrelevant for ABCD+Student Council). And in-canon (Side Origin: Photon, Side Origin: Peaky, I'm a HERO's lyrics, etc.) being exposed as frauds over and over again is shown to be eating away at their self-confidence slowly but surely.
tl;dr If the current writing staff got off their asses you'd see a kino Peaky villain arc but gotta shill Toru instead I guess.

It probably doesn't help that their manga, which spells most of this out for you by showing their full backstory (the Peaky Christmas event leftstuff out), is JP only (there's a fanslation of ~8.5/10 quality floating around online).
>>
>>1979339
Yeah it's a shame that the prologue of Peaky is so essential to their stories but is not officially available for the global audience.

>>Yuka is shit I'll give you that, but of the four of them one's gotta be optimistic enough to keep the rest from self-destructing.

It's a bit of sad that they never really did much with Yuka, like they came up with a gimmick and couldn't find anything to do with it, so she's just like Peaky's therapy dog.
>>
Esora is more interesting with Rei.
>>
>>1979349
The best I can think of for Yuka is that there's shades of her getting treated differently because she's half-gaijin but that aspect of her comes up so rarely that I couldn't include it in good conscience.
>>1979362
Correct. I ship it, even. KyoShino I understand (even if it's not my favorite pairing for either) but IMO people who ship YukaEso are just being lazy/refusing to consider cross-unit ships.
>>1979141
Press S to spit on grave.
>>
>>1979309
Bocchi does not have a mobage yet
These new bands are clearly for the mobage that Donuts is developing.
But unlike Bandori, it seems there won't "seiyuu" focused nor mimicking like early D4DJ lives or divided between seiyuu and band performers like bocchi. They are aiming for all their bands to be live bands.
Whoever is behind the idea, either Toei or Donuts, had bet hard on this. And definitely takes resources from Donuts regardless.
Like Donuts already used the 5th anniversary as a GBC pr campaign.
>>1979314
>CCP language
>Less than 100 likes
CCP minions were never into D4DJ in the first place. They were the first ones to throw a fist after they found out ecchi d4dj is the sister franchise of nu-bandori back under the bush administration.

Egoegg anon, did eggs have a live this weekend (second crossover with denonbu I think?) or am I delusional? I swear I saw pics of some of the other D4 seiyuu posing with the eggs but I might be wrong.

>>1979794
Peaky has plenty of ballads (or at least their take on one, anyway) so I didn't mind that aspect. This song fits right in with the likes of Symphonic Merry Go Round, Ultimate Vista, White Moment, etc. I just found the cuts between that style/faster stuff jarring.
Lyrics might have something to do with it. I couldn't make much out on the shit speakers I was listening on so I'll have to try reading them once they get posted somewhere.

Princess Shinobu was the one confirming they parted ways.
For actual canon, I always figured Esora would be the one to leave first because of her company, and everything else would start imploding after that. Although given the nature of these franchises, it'll probably just be an even story where Peaky works it out somehow and averts their fate.

I was there, at arguably your first ever (mini) concert. It was the week after the T7S Big 5th Anniversary and I raced up the Tokaido to Chiba. Got there in time with my luggage in tow.

I was there for the Bandori boys and girls (RAS and Argo did the opening, and whomever else was smattered throughout) and stayed for the rest of the concert (unlike a certain two in front of me). My thoughts were- liked Aimi's group, liked the Rinku's group, found Merm4id to be SEX.

>>
>>1989930
Possibly. But I'm going to be charitable and say that considering that afaik they haven't even released the first reward yet, it's possibly intentional.

Like in their current situation they should probably be interleaving the good rewards with something cheap to do. Or just skip a month entirely. But since they just launched it they probably wanted to go hard, and we're now in the break time where they actually fulfill their end of the bargain.

Well, we'll see.

I hate eggs mostly because of the plot but that jiu design is pure sex. Mikumo and Raika aren't bad either.
>>
>>1990663
I love eggo
>>
>>1990711
what part of the plot do you hate
>>
>club like from user "trannies will burn"

>set name - Increase the 41%
>setlist - Prank report, FAKE OFF, bomb-a-head, bloody mary
Ok I kek'd. Which one of you did this?
>>
>>1990719
Mostly Toru like most people, but for more reasons than just "self-insert bad":
>Toru's existence is a retcon that, while minor, shows that the writers don't have much respect for the source material.
>Similarly the notion of eggs being a big deal 3 years in the past doesn't make sense since DJ culture should have been basically dead at that point.
>Toru having the plot revolve him (or whatever gender you want to meme for him) makes the other characters uninteresting.
>Multiple-choice aspect is just a time-waster as there's no real branching paths and the characters don't remember anything you said later on anyway.
>Toru getting all the big moments means not much space for yuri.

Beyond Toru:
>Episodes 1-4 really could have been condensed into 2 6 episode chapters *or* one "Road to D4FES" style plot.
>Jiu being a mazo reduced to her character to a joke so I stopped caring about her as much. >Similarly, I found Hare's backstory reveal eh/10. She feels like "we have Neo at home" to me.
>No interaction with the other units, which admittedly only stings so badly because event stories were gutted to (obstinately) make room for eggs.

I actually think the eggs have potential for future stories but they need to ditch
>>
>>1990730 (me)
need to ditch Toru's shitty ass ASAP to give the other 4 space to breathe*

Egoegg 5 + M4 offshoot are two cycles that still need to happen.

I was hoping I would have leftover gacha gauge because there is a card I wanted to pickup. But I needed to go all the way to 300 rolls to pickup Lumina.
Also I think Michiru is haunting me because I called her dumb. I picked up 3 Michirus and a 5th anniversary one. One of those could have been a Lumina... I also picked up 3 back in Unimas.
>>
>>1998045
If you want a particular card consider investing in the paid daily limited rerun gacha pool. The roll is cheap and at full gauge you can pick a card from the same pool as leftover gauge pool (plus the limited cards).
>>
Stream summary:
1. Next event is EGOEGG vol 5, the last event of Reborn chapter.
2. Gacha cards are EGOEGG, weather/elemental themed based on their names (fire, lightening/electricity, water, cloud/air)
3. Special EGOEGG seiyuus live stream tomorrow Monday 8PM with "big announcement)
4. Nyochio LINE stamps
5. 5.5th Anniversary goods, based on 4th Anniversary key visuals. The 8 unit acylics can be connected just like in the key visuals.
6. Digital only album, D4DJ Non-stop Mix, featuring recent songs from all 10 units.
7. 4koma starts on 5.5th Anniversary

9. new D4DJ songs from hardcore tanocii
10. fan club goods will be sold online from May
11. Stream next month will be from 2 EGOEGG seiyuus

I'm on EN so we don't have that atm. What I really need is the Manual Support Hayate. I'm having issues with Rondo Growth without that.
Though I can also switch to a green team and pickup the Manual Support Elsie from the event shop instead. My green team lacks tap healing though, but afaict unless you pay for more hp it's basically a shit trait because every boss where it matters, also drains your hp.

That aside, I'm unwilling to shell out money atm. Partly because if we EoC at the end of the year, then picking up all the Rondo growth cards are pointless anyway because I'm not that interested. And secondly, prices are atrocious where I live.
Though I'll consider it if there's some Hayacoco gacha. But I even after 300 rolls this time, I still have enough of a warchest for 1 more gacha assuming I don't get super bad luck. But if I get super bad luck... Is it really wise to throw even more money in? Well, maybe, I've never actually looked at the paid gachas before, they might have good terms. And by good terms I mean I want a pick, not a roll.

The monetization is heavily constructed to encourage small spending on paid gems.
Most banners have 5 to 10 limited paid 10-rolls with guaranteed 4* every 10-roll plus with huge rate up on the banner cards or even guaranteed banner cards (like the current Happy Around punk ones)
>>
>>1999031

kek fuck my third worlder ass, last time i did 5 of those i got 1 banner card (the one i wanted the least)

Unichord can probably also be space themed if they even do a fantasy set for them.
I'm hoping they start moving away from the no-event-story slop personally, although I guess nothing's stopping them from having the card story + art be fantasy while still also having an event story. That's what they did to backfill the reverse sets for the units that didn't get those initially.

Ah.
Honestly I'm surprised by how hard Rondo Growth is.
Like I did Peaky Growth with ET1 CoAs and w/e.

No idea how the fuck new players are supposed to do it without whaling for sympathy cards. I'm tempted myself but...

I do not fully understand what you're saying, but I suppose it'll become clearer in the weeks to come. Not like EN has it yet anyway, and I guess the explanation then should make sense. Probably.
>>2002892
I haven't checked the Rondo costs yet, but if their cost is anything like the Peaky ones, then in theory you can still get them, in practice, not so much.
Especially when you consider that you don't have an easy map like the Peaky one to farm Golden Records. Assuming of course Donuts are insane and the Growth map after Rondo is even more difficult.

Rondo didn't feel like that big of a difficulty leap IMO. Although I have to FC everything on manual to beat both of them.
my problem might be that I main peaky so for me beating the Peaky map was actually harder than beating Rondo because of parameter upgrades, not having access to my best cards, etc.

I invested in eggs and doggo so It's still good. Doggos are almost struggling so looks like Eggs will have to replace them
>>
>>2003182
part of your problem might legitimate be your choice of unit.
ABCD and eggs can't get their dig rank as high as the others, meaning you can't get the parameter caps as high and don't have access to groovy discs as easily. Having the +10-15% in all stats actually does matter a lot in the non-technical score PVE content (Vs. Maps, floor challenges, etc.)

***Main Story*** (Unit Story)
>We humbly apologize for the extremely long wait.
>From May onwards, with various focuses on the 8 units, the Main Story will begin.
>(*8 units = the OG6 + UniMare*)
>The title of this new chapter "ROAD TO FUTURE". After "ROAD TO D4FES" and "XROSS BEAT", it tells the story of the girls will continue their new trials, experiences and development as they move forward towards the future, we will dig deep to deliver the charms of the characters, units and others/
>To ensure that the charm of the characters is delivered this time, this will be just like "ROAD TO D4FES", which told the story of how the units were formed, and we will plan on developing this over a long period of time.

>Additionally, the Main Story will be a story tied together with the music that will appear alongside the units.
>Since this is D4DJ, the plan is to deliver various forms of music, how "sound", "lyrics", and more have a special meaning connected to their lives, we will be happy if you look forward to this interesting story.
>The Main Story titled "ROAD TO FUTURE" is going to start releasing from May 26, we plan to release these stories for the units sequentially.

***EVENT***
>Every aspect of events is being formally reviewed.
>From 2026 May, the below measures will be implemented regarding events:

>*Mediocre Event titles will be abolished (Ex. The SLOP in 2026)
>*Event Stories will return (some events not related to the main story will continue to not have stories)
>*Event Rewards (T/N: Tiering rewards) will be reformed (Ranking Rewards being SP members will be ended, going forward a different type of prize will be determined)

***NAVIGATION MEMBERS***
>Until now, character's birthdays were matched with the "Navigation: Party" members, but going forward we want everyone to be able to celebrate the character's birthday together more deeply, in pursuit of that, "Birthday Members" will be set up, the exact details, how everyone will get it, etc. will be conveyed:

>*For the sake of making the Birthday Member a special experience, there will be a special member episode related to the birthday that will be added. (it will not be voiced, characters who already have their "Navigation: Party" will have stories added later.)
>*The "Navigation Pickup Gacha" will be abolished, and from now on the members' "Birthday Gacha" will contain all the members, with extra pickups.
>*For Call of Artemis's "Navigation: Party", due to various difficulties and severe consideration, the implementation will be put off until later (T/N: This is corpo-speak for "probably not going to happen but not necessarily impossible"). To everyone who was excitedly waiting, we would like to take this opportunity to deeply apologize for this highly inexcusable measure.

>In accordance with the changes listed above, the gacha rate and other features will undergo some change.
>For a detailed explanation, please check the in-game notification and the gacha screen.

***MUSIC***
>From May onwards, we will start selling some songs.
>Of course, you are free to play all the songs from before this point, D4DJ's charm lies with its original music, remixes, instrumentals and others, and D4DJ will still be striving towards sharp music, but this new undertaking is for the sake of delivering higher quality for everyone.
>It pains our hearts greatly to deliver this news at this time, but we are trying with all our effort to delivery a quality product that will satisfy everyone.

***GAME FUNCTIONS***
>*For Direct for you, we sent everyone (T/N: on JP, anyway) a survey, and have decided to update it to change the way that you play it.
>Already, regarding prizes, we have already started making changes, Theme and Supporter are being worked on.
>For now, please wait for the implementation (and execution) of this.

>*GROOVY Difficulty, based on data regarding the true clear % and viewing % from the beginning, we will make adjustments so that the content will be more fun for everyone.
>For more on this, we would be happy if you wait a bit longer.

***RIMICON (Remix Contest)***
>This is a piece of content we have seriously been waiting a while to implement, and in recent days we have been moving towards implementing it, we are taking steps too get ready for its implementation.
>The contest format will be, take a designated song and create a remix of it.

>Remixes are part of DJ Culture, and so it'd be good for D4DJ to have the imagination to take this extraordinary step, the contest is only limited to the various kinds of things everyone can consider and deliver.
>Please wait for further news.

>Lastly, this time's producer letter,
>At last we are able to let you know about the direction regarding opening the new chapter, but some features are being abolished and other feature sales are starting, we understand that to everyone some of this news will come as a "Minus".
>Until now we've been havning fun with Groovy Mix with all digglers, but just thinking about how much bewilderment and unease that has been unleashed gives my own heart incredible pain.
>Thus, this is the change, to focus on "D4DJ's core is "the stories of the connections between the characters" and "D4DJ is an incredibly fun music experience". Everything we are working on with the systems is for the sake of delivering this to everyone, this is the resolve of myself as well as the Team Members.
>Additionally, it is so Groovy Mix can continue to be managed for a long time that these bitter decisions were made.

>"ROAD TO FUTURE" is the title of the new chapter, the characters are marching towards their future, Groovy Mix is also faced towards a new future, and will continue to endure its challenges.
>Various features will see change, even now, the story is being revived, and from now on the music will develop again, so everyone, we absolutely promise to deliver an experience that will give the feeling of "Groovy Mix sure has gotten interesting lately"

>So from now on, please have high expectations for "D4DJ Groovy Mix".
>As we continue on through these changes, please continue to support us.

Hopefully we got something from the fact that the Sakuradas, the Takeshitas, and the Shimizus just built a body for Lumina seemingly for free just because Miiko said so.

What exactly does this mean? I don't really understand the difference. I can tell what's story related and what's filler.
>-SP Prizes abolished.
What is this again?

>>For a detailed explanation, please check the in-game notification and the gacha screen.
>>Thank you for your consideration.
This is the biggest thing. Honestly really shit to get a 4 year old card.

Probably the make or break year for the game itself. The Media as a franchise will stay. Probably.
Still not really sold on the gacha. Not really a good way to fix it in a good way for previous people who have whaled. I guess they're trying to capture the people who are left.
>>
Also don't forget the daily gem exchange for 5.5
>>
>>2004010
>What exactly does this mean? I don't really understand the difference. I can tell what's story related and what's filler.
Yeah it is confusing. I assume they mean Collab events and some seasonal events (like 3rd year under Bushi, or recent Valentine and White Day).
>>
>>2004010
>-Paid music is the new normal
Did this start already or something? I never recall seeing this

They had one remix sold with CD earlier, which is also when they updaded the app to add dia song shop. They will probably add that track and other remixes, instrumentals like Michiru tecno tanocii track to the dia song shop.
Japanese fans actually hope they can add back Touhou remixes in dia shop.
Personally I wish they could add back all the 3rd party songs as paid songs even it costs like 10 bucks per song lol but I guess negotiating the rights would be impossible.
>>
>>2004010
>-Remix Contest is finally real.
>What is this?
Bushiroad announced a fan contest where the winner's remix track will be implemented as in game song waaaaaay back then
>>
>>2003903
>Of course, you are free to play all the songs from before this point,
>もちろん、これまで通り無償でプレイいただける楽曲も引き続き追加してまいりますが、
I think they mean free songs will still be added as usual. Probably collab songs and most new OG songs?
>>
>>2004015
They absolutely is not going to fix what isn't broken (for them, revenue wise)
They are just saying that birthday gacha need adjustment now NV gacha is merged into them, and SP gacha need adjustment because ranking reward card is put back into the pool.

They are just trying to not make the rate too much worse due to these changes.
>>
>>2003901
>Event Stories will return (some events not related to the main story will continue to not have stories)
The fuck does this even mean?
It'll have stories, but not have stories?
Or to put it another way, what's the difference from now with Egg stories and general lack of other stories?
>>
>>2004026
imagine if it means only songs before 5.5 are free.
realistically I imagine anything you buy with seashells will be paid now.
>>
>>2004033
>realistically I imagine anything you buy with seashells will be paid now
Yeah.
I am curious about 3rd party songs. Especially collab songs that get deleted after a month to a year. I want Nanoha, Sasakoi and many songs back lol...
>>
>>2003951
They do real life events for the next 3 months.
>>
>>2004031
NV gacha was a "predictable" monthly income for donuts. Birthday gachas became irrelevant once that happened.

>They are just saying that birthday gacha need adjustment now NV gacha is merged into them
Sounds less like an adjustment or celebration and more so people complained that I got this character I didn't care for instead of the NV I wanted.

>SP gacha need adjustment because ranking reward card is put back into the pool
This is done on other banners and the rates are still bad so I see no changes. If anything just more greed. But doesn't matter to me since I stopped spending.
>>
>>2003901
>In accordance with the changes listed above, the gacha rate and other features will undergo some change.
Never a good sign when corpo says it lmao.
Because frankly 3% isn't bad. The other features might be good though. I'm hoping for something like Assault Lily's medal system. Well, technically we get the same thing out of both, that one gives one free pick per 150 roll, here we get 2 per 300, so the same thing essentially. The memoria medals for dupes are nice though.
>>2003903
>From May onwards, we will start selling some songs.
>Some
Ominous.
With that said though, I was intending to go pickup some of their songs which I'll go figure out later.
And I hope if we are paying for it in game... It'll firstly be the full fucking song, and secondly... Just let us download it bro.
>>2003951
Doggos were side anyway wasn't it? And I sure hope they aren't throwing out the Eggs with the bathwater.

Solo? How many points are cut compared to multi?
>>
>>2004301
You can only do solo. Score board doesn't populate during execution but I reckon an ET4 team on off hours can easily get a title with this.
>>
I expected this much, it took about 50 minutes to clear 20 runs. I average 1 hour for 20 runs when doing MP for tiering so it really shows how much time is wasted in MP.
The runs still "tier" but you need a very whale heavy deck to actually solo tier.
>>
>>2004332
It also depends on songs.
Which song did you play?
I guess it is optimal to play the longer songs when afk

>>2004032
The new wave of unit stories are "Unit Stories" which means they most likely won't be tied to a gacha banner/event. This is how Road to D4FES #1 and #2 were set up back in the stone age. The tone of the letter implies all the other ways they'll be fucking us over in the coming weeks/months is to compensate for these new stories. The letter was vague about which events will be story-less but they may just be making more rotations like fantastic, offshoot, etc. We'll have to wait and see.

>>2004026
That's possible but I TL'd it the way I did because by that point in the letter I was starting to get pessimistic/wary of where it was heading. At other points in the letter they apologize about some of the coming changes, but it's possible I was getting carried away in interpreting things.

>>2004042
Yes I talked to John Donuts and he told me Toru is real and has been given the epstein list as targets.
>>
So are the eggs forgiven by westoids now?
>>
>>2004510
It's still bad. But the 180° "oh it was a yuri harem all along" is fucking hilarious
>>
>>2004510
JP seems to have softened on them somewhat in light of the Toru reveal + going back to the OGs.
>>
>>2004494
>pessimistic/wary
There is literally no other way to read the letter.
The changes are not favorable for us that's why they're preemptively apologizing.
>>
>>2004010
and what do our dacchis across the sea think about this?
>>
>>2004545
To be fair, getting a new story for the first time since xross beat is something I'm extremely hyped for.
Everything else in the letter is objectively bad news and I don't understand why the wider EN community is acting like this letter is some kind of big victory. Liking D4 is turning me into a stuck-up elitist that hates EOPs lol

>>2004585
Everything else in the letter is not really news

>>2004984
Groovy Mix's recording schedule seems very short compared to other games.
Other games record them 6 months in advance.
Grooxy Mix often do it like 2 months in advance.
Plus 3 of the eggs belong to Donuts's seiyuu agency and can be called upon anytime.

>>2004993
They could also have recorded several alternatives, this doesn't seem like something deep.
I guess we'll never know for sure.

nevertheless they better bring an L2D and seiyuu next time EGOEGG story comes

tl;dr people don't get that yatile is gone and this lady is the new head artist for D4. They accused the ALIVE merch of being AI too because mentally unstable twittoids have been looking for a second TORtanic equivalent after the MermAId scandal last year.
Anyway none of you will care but she made it while we were supposed to be eating pizza together. I married someone who loves gurumix and Aimi more than me and it's depressing.

>>2005001
preach brother. Happy that someone else gets this kind of stuff.
>>
I still miss yatile
>>
>>2005108
I miss her so much. I miss the art she did for singles and albums.

The new art direction is so generic and is so airbrush heavy--that's why it looks AI generated. It doesn't do much to set it apart from other games (proseka, etc) like the old art direction did.

And while we're at it, why are UniChord the only one to work there.
And are Hayate and Date-chan related?
>>
>>2005570
Ryujin restarted music activities with LMO at the end of Chapter 4 and asked Lumina to take over for Airi, who will be abroad with Call of Artemis. He is still technically around the Cafe but after his seiyuu was exposed by his younger lover he got removed from the login greeting rosters and Lumina became the de facto Master as shown in the Valentine's event last year.
The only interaction of Hayate and Date-chan was in the 4koma.

Oh My God
>>
Shit I forgot it was today. Fucking golden week.
Guess I'm buying the archive.
>>
>>2007334
Speaking of, when is the Uni live again?
May or June?
>>
>>2007419
May 30th.
Nothing in June.
EGOEGG in July.
Merm4id in August.
>>
>>2007467
Thanks. Timing should be suitable then.
Where do I keep an eye for links to buy the stream thing?
>>
>>2007469
official twitter (the D4DJ one, not Groovy Mix one) posts those first
they also update the page on https://d4dj-pj.com/live-event/ but those pages are long and difficult to navigate
occasionally anons shill it on /jp/ bushi thread
>>
I miss Photon Maiden and Rondo concerts.
>>
>>2007469
>>2007473
I'll shill here as well for the next concerts now.
Don't forget you can watch the VOD for one/two weeks after the day and rip it for your personal archive.
Or watch pirate reuploads on bilibili.

Assume someone disses d4dj for not having a dubstep song as strong as Gakuen Idolmaste new Misuzu song (Veil), what d4dj songs do you respond with

when are May voice lines coming...
>>
>>2007724
1st is my favorite PKPK song.
2nd one is pretty close to that Idolmaster one in style... is it what is currently popular? Elemets Garden obviously know with so many musicians under its banner
>>
>>2007695
The only good Gaku song was the first one by giga
>>
>>2007788
The Saki one? Yeah, others are pretty mid. Maybe also the Japanese umbrella one but only because it is different - we have better ones like PKPK's obon song or UniChØrd's
>>
>>2007695
In addition to >>2007724, Photon has a few songs with dubstep sounds as well if you're willing to dig through the older stuff. There's also the hardcore tano C instrumentals from a while ago (although those aren't dub)
>>
>>2007864
Photon 3rd live when...
>>
>>2007869
Hoping and praying.
Them, Rondo and Peaky all need Donuts-era lives. Although given Hiiro VA's recent tweet Rondo will be out-of-action for a bit.
>>
>>2007880
it's over...
>>
>>2007999
We have road to future now, at worst they will shut us down after the new D4Fes said road leads to
>>
Donuts and Rondo/Merm4id producers also obviously want to do at least one arena concert before the end
>>
>>2008001
If anything a new main story implies management actually listened to the blowback over eggs.
Recent lives have all been on their A-Game for the most part, even if venue sizes haven't been great.
>>
>>2008039
I am very confused because I think the 5th anniversary letter said they are planning to do unit stories again. I need to check the phrasing.

>また、再度ユニットに焦点を当てた個々の物語の展開についても、現在鋭意準備中です。
They were already planning to work on "Road to the Future" October last year.
>>
Looks like Donuts saw the earlier diss, and immediately reveal we are getting a Joe Fight instrumental track

>これまで、4.5周年以降に展開予定のメインストーリーに向けてシナリオを準備しておりましたが、
They've been saying we're totally getting a new "main story" and "story focused on the units" since 4.5th anni, but then they loudly and proudly proclaimed that egoegg was the "new main story" while dropping all mention of any other story existing. If egoegg was just filler while road to future was being worked on you think they would have said something to that effect. I guess it's possible that it really was all just bad optics/logistics but they pissed a lot of people off with the (possibly perceived) bait and switch.
>>
>>2008246
More like donuts most likely has no clue on direction.
Maybe it could be testing with waters with Tory, but I don't know. Do their other games have this faceless pov character too?
>>
>>2008259
Yeah, 支配者
>>
I may be a fan of KMNZ.
Do you think they are cute irl?

Anyway, SATISFACTION's difficult parts are very front loaded so I managed to FC it. I doubt I will have the same luck with Riot in the System.
>>
Tsutae Talk -> Synchronicity -> Hajimari Beat -> Kougetsu
Started with beginning and the end, thought they fit the opening and ending then filled in the middle.
Though listening to it again, I swear Tsutae flowed into Sync better a couple months ago.
Also just noticed, but Sync and Hajimari both have I think Kagayaku connecting both, so that was a nice coincidence. I mean I picked them because they flowed together somewhat nicely, but I never noticed that the first time around.
>>
>>2008431
?
Was this setlist on a stream or something? I understand what you're saying about the transitions but don't understand where it's coming from
>>
>>2008460
That's mine.
>>
There is a JP player called jet stream or something in Japanese, who has been updating the club setlists for years weekly, with interesting themes and names
>>
>>2007803
nUniChØrd should try shoegaze tho....
shoegaze and denpa...all you need...and maybe retvrn to dub and dream pop...
