This is the worst anniversary ever.

>>2238222
Still quitting. Unless there's like 4 tickets to pick what I want from >>2238224

The thing that really bothers me is the fucking gacha. How is it I still see fucking initial base cards in year 6.

>>2238224
come on bro don't say it's the worst, they really went out of their comfort zone with those picks

>>2238222
>almost 24 hours without a thread
what happened to my sisters...

>>2238226
That's one of the two(!?) simultaneous DfYs they're going to be running, not a banner. >>2238224 is for a paired voice drama, assuming it's supposed to be shipping-bait except for the random NeoLumi + HaruKoko.

I hope PM wins or dogpoo does what needs to be done, because putting Neo and Kyoko in the same DfY on opposite sides is a warcrime and donuts basically telling me they don't want enough money to save their shitty dying project.

>>2238228
Went back to bandori...

2 dfys at the same time plus all the lim banners one right after another. Donuts must be really strapped for cash.

>>2238246
>Haruna NTR endgame
based donuts. I kneel

Personal highlights:
customized profiles: finally I can make use of all those useless cosmetics. bonus point for 4 sizes of card art.
More outside songs: Tanda Hazuki is adding her solo artist songs to the game. Tsubaki/Rihonyan may be getting something too. Plus other franchises.
Nyochio v2: finally. The new version has a butthole to differentiate it from the Bushiroad version. Pretty funny the Bushiroad versions on set had so much dust it gave Risa Tsumugi allergy.
bonus: seiyuus talking about their respective RtF stories are pretty nice. Photon Maiden got the craziest description lol (her seiyuu is known to be insane).

That sure was a stream of all time

>>2238567
If I could buy nyochi I would but donuts does not care for globabs

>>2238570
I didn't watch, what happen besides above?

>>2238572
tl;dr:
>live info we already knew about. Nothing knew.
>everything >>2238567 said
>A revamp to the one challenge mode you need to buy the pass for play where you play courses of 4 songs to get different rankings. No info given but the revamp is coming in 2027.
>New mode where you compare technical scores Vs. other digglers (this was basically the highlight of the stream from Donuts' POV).
>A new mode called "Groovy Rush". Absolute 0 information given.
>Unichord Growth is next. No details given and they didn't even talk about these last two, they were just graphics on a calendar.

Basically a nothingburger, at least when you consider that you had to sit through 1.5 hours of it if you endured it live. JP is fucking livid because they gaslit themselves into thinking they were getting an IRL D4FES lmao

>livid

>>2238884
personally pretty good. I would have liked to know what happened to the 4Koma we were supposed to be getting from a DfY prize, but beyond that I'm happy about the nyochio and profile customizations now EN will have to endure my shitty schizo ships even more

lol a fucking audition ticket

The fucking song made me think the game was broken

Nyerm did the dailies get removed?

Oh, it's that kind of full customization profile...
Dunno why I thought it'll be something simpler.
I suck at those.

That sure was a producer letter of all time

>>2239000
TL;DR because I'm not dignifying this shit with a TL like I did last time:
>They are aware that they have fucked up severely with shipping out DfY prizes, etc.
>Producer-kun thinks the story is too complicated and can't follow it. This has implications on the current quality of the writing and I hope this producer gets the rope (but don't think he will)
>Eggs aren't in RTF, but management wants to keep involving them in the project to some extent and hinted at connections to the other units.
>Birthday overhaul is almost entirely negative/a downgrade/cost-cutting IMO
>Profiles are in because management wanted people to be able to express themselves better.
>Technical Cup is in because the current producer likes rhythm games (possibly to the detriment of literally the entire rest of the project, if the rest of this is anything to go by)
>Paid Songs are here to stay. They're looking into using the feature to revive songs that were pulled previously.
>Groovy Mix Cup cancelled (eat shit Bacon you got what was coming to you for ruining ours)
>Remix Contest is finally actually going to happen, also an original song contest
>DfY is here to stay
>Groovy Difficulty returning
>DIGRUSH is coming, no details other than that it is "endgame content"
>Stage Ranking (I forget what they call this in EN, the mode where you play 4 songs in a row to clear challenges) is being revised.
>VIEW ADS FOR FREE DIAMONDS LMAO

I probably left some stuff out by accident so if anyone else wants to chime in go nuts

>>2239002
>>VIEW ADS FOR FREE DIAMONDS LMAO
Last time a game did this it was cause it literally was dying, but that game was almost 3 times older than DJs

Why did Dogpoo suddenly join D4DJ fanclub? I don't think any live ticket lottery is ongoing.

I don't like the malicious TL anon.
Can I get a non biased version?

Summary of Key Announcements

Physical Items & Rewards: Delays are attributed to quality assurance and structural shifts; all physical rewards are slated for delivery by the end of the year.

Main Story (ROAD TO FUTURE): Continuing forward, but recognizing accessibility hurdles for new/returning players due to heavy volume. SNS promotional campaigns will be enhanced to make catching up easier.

EGOEGG: Will not appear in the ROAD TO FUTURE main story due to existing power-gap dynamics with veteran units, but will continue to see cross-unit interactions in events, live shows, and future lore expansions.

Birthday Member Revamp: Discontinuing the Navigation Series in favor of dedicated Birthday Gacha banners, voice dramas, and instrumental birthday tracks (including EGOEGG members).

Paid Music & Collaborations: Following positive trials (like Yume Stellarium), paid song releases will continue based on demand, opening pathways for future collaborations and potential re-releases of removed songs.

6th Anniversary New Features:

Custom Profiles: Fully customizable player profiles utilizing over 6 years of in-game stamps, titles, and art assets.

Technical Cup: A skill-based end-content mode tailored for rhythm game enthusiasts.

Contests: A Remix Contest (Remicon) via FEAT aims for a Spring 2027 application launch, alongside a newly announced Original Song Contest.

Groovy Mix Cup: The 2026 tournament is postponed, but an updated iteration is currently in development.

>>2239023
>Custom Profiles
from the way it's worded this sounds like the Hololive customization

>>2239024
Dunno how that one is, but from the screenshots I've seen it's basically a canvas, then you throw your stuff on it.
I think the new bandori game has that too.

>>2239002
>>2239023
The biggest issue with stories he mentioned is that it is mixed up with the anime, which I agree. Bushiroad should have adapted the anime story in the game back them. And anime S2 should have reintroduced the new game only cast instead of the ominibus we got.

>>2239002
>>2239023
It is not just Dfy prizes. The Happy Around stickers from web store, and the 2026 new year cards from lotteries are also missing...

>>2239002
>>2239023
Next EGOEGG stories will also focus on
1. Toru's little sister!!
2. Other sponsors of Hare's sister's TV audition
3. The REAL reason of JK EGOEGG disbandment

In the repost Weird amount of Korean girls wanting to come over and join D4DJ as cast members...

>>2239032
Yeah that's exactly what the hololive one is. I assume many nips liked it and it's being copied.

>>2239087
Interesting, they didn't promise the girls will be in Groovy Mix. Plus the new unit is co-run by http://sleipnir-hello.world/service/

Well to me it is better if the franchise grows as opposed to shriveling and dying like Idoly Pride, Heaven Burns Red etc

Yura's staff account accidentally reposted the Dfy with Hayate instead

>>2239088
>>2239032
The letter specifically says they will provide Toru, Nyochio and Dennouji materials for your profiles!

>>2239023
Groovy Mix Cup is probably cancelled due to the failure to launch the multi finger mode.
The multi finger mode is on the list of to-fix at end of the letter along with tours: ユーザーの負担になっている運用施策の改善検討
Tours is a big complaint during the offline playtesting

>>2239268
No one cares about any one of these. How are the nips taking it?

>>2239644
See it as a positive that Donuts want to keep the brand up and even expanding it
Understand Donuts' own talents will be cheaper, so they can produce content without making storyless events like since under Bushiroad.
Those who hate UniChØrd, EGOEGG etc hate it.
Some EGOEGG fans are worried they are being abanonded. Some think the new unit will be paired up with EGOEGG.

>>2239021

Admittedly I was in a bad mood with a migraine typing this up (since I did a full TL for my wife anyway) but nothing I posted was factually incorrect other than me taking a dig at Bacon. That being said >>2239023 is basically correct.

>加えてシナリオ分量も多く、ユーザーへの負担が大きくなっていることも事実です。

This says the game was originally a continuation of the anime, but after 6 years the number of stories that have piled up is something producer-kun sees as a "burden" for new/returning users. My snarky remark is that producer-kun is too stupid/lazy to read. It takes like 5 hours to read the previous main stories unless you're listening on auto mode. Faster if you want to focus on one unit. I did like how for the later RTFs they dropped the requirement to grind dig rank for the old stories though. Wish they'd do it for everyone.


>>2239644
They fucking hate it with the exception of people like >>2239674 who like egoegg. nips want PM and Rondo back, not more literally whos.

>>2239023
>due to existing power-gap dynamics with veteran units
This is what I mean by producer-kun not being able to read. The egg story implied a few times that eggs are extremely talented and basically at D4FES level. Also of the points in >>2239058 2/3 of them really should not be significant (Toru's sister was just an offhanded comment Toru used to try cheering Hare up during Egoegg 4, and Hare already explained in great detail why she broke up JK Eggs).

>>2239087
You have to be a resident of Japan to apply so they're probably going to be disappointed lol

>>2240199
I literally asked grok to translate it, good to know it's pretty good

caveat, I did get one thing wrong in forgetting that there were non-DfY related physical rewards like >>2239057 said.

injecting some direly needed positivity into the thread:
profile customization is fantastic. Way better than I thought it would be and the best part of this anni by a mile. Can't wait until it also comes to EN.

>>2240606
Very nice.
Unrelated: they did a stealth update to the param cap. 15% -> 16%. ~300 discs per stat to make the jump (so 900 total for each character)

Playing with this profile card thing, it's exactly like hololive's game, but I don't need to pay $3 to access stickers from each vtumor

Seems like everyone is too busy to make their profile

Collabo cards are not allowed for some reason...

Yes. We're getting it next.
Dunno about gfes Kokoa though, I can't remember the timeline.

Just to check, currently store merch is basically the Nyochio plush and keychains right?
Wish they can sort by availability...

Also I already picked up the 4th anni mats previously. It's kinda surprising they still have those. Did they overstock or what?

>>2242801
4th anniversary mats were first made for Comiket so they had no way to estimate stocks

Sometimes they restock the fanclub pvc cards and can badges (not the summer ones).

Your best bet is filtering by unit. There's a few ri4 and hapiara goods still in stock it seems, the Peaky and hapiara nyochios, some egoegg merch. Mame live goods are almost exclusively sold on the Ace Crew website so don't bother with them.

If you're buying the nyochio and just want more merch to justify the import, for most goods you're probably better off buying secondhand off yahoo auctions or jp mercari and consolidating your orders with your proxy/forwarding service of choice. Sometimes you can get pretty big lots for dirt cheap. Just be careful because the weight can definitely add up.

>>2242142
>>2242355
Adorable, thank you for the pics.

>>2242897
Mainly looking for Unichord stuff.
Well, it delivers like March next year anyway, I'll see how it goes then.
There is still potential 6th anni merch right?
>If you're buying the nyochio and just want more merch to justify the import,
Nah, I just want to pickup stuff if I have the chance.
Especially if I can get it first hand.
And well, I guess I'm still in the potential EoS mindset. So I'm grabbing what I can.

>>2243040
I don't think I've had merch arrive on time a single time via mail order, so you probably have even longer.

>There is still potential 6th anni merch right?

Doubtful. Nyochio + the keychains seem to be our 6th anni merch. I'm surprised they aren't doing arcylic plates of the KVs they were so proud of at least.

There's always 6.5th anni assuming we don't eos. 5.5th they did a merch drop, so who knows.

Your real best bet is for unichord to get another live. Merch sales go on pre-order about 2 months before. Most forwarding services (or at least the ones I've used) will hold for 2~3 months. So if they get a live around March or April or maybe even May, you should be okay to ship it with the nyochio.

>>2243070
Wish I didn't be stupid and missed the last live's merch.
Honestly I'm not worried about the timing, it's still cheaper than the fucking gacha anyway...
And frankly the shipping costs is still okay compared to import duties.

But yeah, I want some acrylics, The 5.5 ones looked pretty good. If I'm not misremembering which one it was. It was the one with the 4th anni pictures right? That one is so good imo.

>>2243087

They did full unit acrylic plates which looked really nice in pictures. No individual standees though, which was a shame. The 5th anni nv classic clocks were my favorite and I kinda wish they would bring them back.

The can badges and pvc cards were an absolute shitshow (but beautiful--if you can pick some up secondhand then do it). 32 characters split between only 2 groups with no way to guarantee you'll get the one you want. The rates seem to be getting even worse, if the summer fanclub drops are anything to go by (since they added eggs and doggos, making 2 pools of 20 instead). Full cast drops are abyssmal, but they seem to be the only things giving life to the units who aren't getting lives, so I guess I can't be too mad.

what were the spooky nyochios supposed to give? i can only exchange them for coins

No Ri4 stream too??

web shop pack is voice drama + photo? what is the photo for? what is the voice drama about?

>>2243927
Photo is a nothingburger. Literally just a jpeg that you can datamine easily
Voice Drama not sure. No one's uploaded it yet and IDC about Rei so I don't want to waste the money to check. Could be self-insert stuff, could be similar to the NV Party Card Stories where they just go "wow it sure was my birthday this year". Not sure.

Side-Note: Looks like Lillies get an archive but no live stream. Weird that Abyssmare specifically didn't even get that. Maybe there was trouble with the venue? When I was there they had a camera setup in the back, but no crews at/around the stage, so I wonder if something went sideways with the staff.

i think this is good because less ultra limited cards can't be bad, but i'm sure donuts will find a way to turn up the jewness somewhere else

I guess I'm too Unichord brained.
I thought the first 6th anni event was 1 member of each unit. Only now playing through the event I realized that M4 and Ri4 both have 2 members lmao.
I saw Lumina was there alone and assumed it was the same for all of them.
How are the card stories anyway? The event one is kinda meh. Too many people, too little time. There are some good points though, like Elsie and the pranksters.

>>2244608
You say that like they already haven't.
Also birthday has the final club item gated by rolling now.

And ironically, in a sense NVs are easier to get, because at least you can buy one of the pick tickets every month... Stupid expensive, but afaik that's the only consistent pick ticket?

I liked buying the NV packs. It made getting the ET easy and if you only care about 1/2 characters it really wasn't that bad if you space out your purchases.
I guess for the BDay cards you only need 1 copy instead of 3, though. Is there any benefit to ETing the new BDay cards? NV at least gave additional dialogue, then also all old dialogue for ET1/2.

>>2245339
iirc they just say their quotes from when you pull them. I could be wrong though.

Looks like we get a free 10 roll for the BD gacha, so you can get this for free. That's good.
I got nothing else out of it though.

Otoh, I rolled twice on the paid gacha for the 6th anni 1st for the title. And got lucky and picked up Shinobu.
Which apparently secured my PKPK team for the foreseeable future for growth live. Just in time I guess for the incoming Unichord growth.
Now I just need to get my teams the right skills...

>so instead of reading any one comment/letter, she gave several general comments:

About dozo:
>she was happy that it was received well
>the song was originally going to be a ballad but May'n decided against it because it was easier to sing the english at a faster pace
>it's tied directly to abyssmare's story (she didn't elaborate.)
>it's all in English because she wanted it to sound like a song that would have came from Americans. She had to get permission from the game team before doing it.
>in-canon (or at least May'n's version of it) all of Abyssmare's music is in English but the IRL songs are in Japanese for the convenience of the audience.
>May'n imagines most American fans won't understand the full meaning of the song because the word "dozo" has multiple meanings (tl;dr it can be used as a taunt or an invitation, meaning the song is 50% "you can't beat us" and 50% "break through as much of me as you can, just let me have some fun" (in-canon Neo loves competition from Wero/Kyo/Lumi/etc.)).

>The other Japanese word in the song, "iiko" (いいこ<3)(Elsie's lyric) has no special meaning
(1/2)

>>2249783 (me)
As for the live itself:
>IRL abyssmare spent almost the entire time they had practice working on Dozo instead of reviewing the old stuff.
>there were supposed to be 3 ALIVE shows (#3 would have been Nagoya), but they couldn't do it (the implication is May'n's solo career is busy + D4 management doesn't want to give AM too many lives relative to everyone else)
>May'n has a hard time staying in-character as Neo during lives, since Neo's attitude is so different from her own.
>she was grateful to people still showing up at Osaka despite the fact that it was outside of Tokyo + the gap between AM shows is long (probably cope because of the low turnout)

Anyway blogpost over. Brace for eggs in a few hours. I hope the event story is toru being thrown out of a helicopter
(2/2)

>D4 management doesn't want to give AM too many lives relative to everyone else
if rondo is included in "everyone else" guess that means no more AM lives ever again amirite?

Why not photon live? That have so many good new songs.

>>2249812
>>2249845
The exact words she said IIRC were "I asked management if we (AM) could have lives more regularly, but was told to consider the entire project, and my (AM's) role as a part of the 'D4DJ Team'."

For Rondo it's probably blah-blah-blah Empire Sound Systems or whatever. Donuts is weird. For PM, based on the way Aimi and Reo were talking on the stream about the Peaky Live, Bushi's been weird about letting their girls do stuff for D4. Although with the change in management (last I checked Kidani was getting shuffled off to the TCG division and was in the process of being replaced as CEO by a newdori exec) + shifting priorities for bandori away from olddori and towards newdori, they might not care as much about that anymore. For PM specifically there's also the issue of their producer, who's been busy as the director for some mecha movie. IDK just schizoposting at this point really.
tl;dr My guess is PM after Peaky.

Is Mikumo raping Toru...

since PM already had a new year event and eggs are having an event rn there's like 0% chance of PM not having the christmas slot right?

>>2250554
AM can technically get Christmas but I figured it'd be PM Christmas -> AM NY

>>2250578
i really want AM to get christmas so i can save up but that would mean donuts giving new years to the doggos (lol, lmao)

GBC game is not rhythm game!! It is a card based RPG!

The new Ri4 song is pretty good.
The Haruna Nanmo Wakaran cover sucks though. Don't think it's her fault, the way they did it just seems kinda lonely. And not in a good way.

>>2250740
Plushies is huge. Very nice.
>>2251081
Also very nice. Donuts doing one smart thing in their entire life and avoiding putting out another rhythm game when the market is pretty saturated (and in the middle of a mass die-off) right now. IMO GBC wouldn't have been able to compete with the trifecta holodori/prsk/awadori anyway. This sidesteps that problem (and the different genre spares D4 from EoS).

Apparently an anon in the jp thread went to the lily live. Good on you anon, always glad to know more of us are at these things (or at least bought the stream)

>>2251106
Love that recent Lily live's feature songs are retarded silly songs
I love retardation

>>2251135
I agree actually. It's a good way of differentiating them from the other units to an extent. Although I do also like the OG ri4 songs with the "happy song, depressing lyrics" feeling. That kind of thing doesn't really vibe well for live EDM performances though, does it?

Is there a pic with all 4 lilies plushies?

>>2251195
Yes

>>2251266
together? show me

>>2251305
No

>>2251081
Depending on how GBC gacha development is handled and funded, Gurumiku could still be fucked by opportunity cost.

Did the anniversary finish? I feel like we didn't get all the units. Did we?

Who thought having BYO costumes for Egoegg is a good idea? Jiu might be a pervert but she's still reasonable, the same can't be said with Mikumo.

Lmao. Got every gfes, enough to ET4 Shinobu.
No Kokoa

I got enough to ET4 Saki as well lmao.
Had to get Kokoa from the exchange.

>>2251880
>>2251882
kek i was wondering how you would fare on your awaited banner, RIP. on the bright side with 2 ET4 sympathy you should be set until EOS

So at the end I did 200 rolls.
Yuka ET0
Saki and Shinobu ET4
At least I got enough tickets to pick Kokoa up from the exchange...

Also just about used up my paid diamonds lmao. Just about right. At least I didn't really touch my free diamonds, so that should be enough for Unifantasy...
But I'll probably get more paid diamonds for Anni part 2. At least the step up doesn't look that bad... Compared to the free banner and it's fucking pick 1 at 300.

>>2251886
Yep. And I'm ET4ing Kokoa as well.

But anyway, if there isn't like + event points for using style or char match cards in an event, then more power = more points right?
I always just use recommended.

Looks like Bacon dumped a huge amount on Towa at the end and overtook Neo sisters.

In other news, countless Saki fans lost to one super Saori fan.

The new Ri4 song is pretty catchy...
And I only know after watching the MV how much they do repetition in it.

>>2252053
Based bacon

>>2251912
>more power = more points right?
from what i can tell proper passives gives more points than raw stats (unless the power gap is that big but i don't think it'll be your case), i did some scuffed testing this event and (take this with the whole bottle of salt) groovy bonus > (manual/auto) support > combo boost (maybe?) > life boost > ET4 sympathy > tap healing
groovy support is a meme and life protect gives you less points
i can't properly test different combinations because 3/4 members only have like one ET4 score boosting passive but just take what you can from those passives in the frontline and 2 sympathy/2 growth on the back

Fuck, the last Unichord floor challenge song is cock blocking me. I can get 15 mil on the other songs, but this one I can only get 13+...
At least the 2nd last song I managed to get it by FCing expert. That was rough.

>>2252154
Oh. So I should be using groovy bonus then. I'll take a look at what I have in my inventory. Currently I'm just going by the standard SP passive loadout, manual support, combo boost, life boost.

Oh, and thanks to whoever mentioned putting gfes Kokoa as your homepage. That is pretty cute. I wouldn't have thought to check since I run L2Ds.
God, I wish I have a Kokoa to feed.

>>2252191
don't you have all the passives from unichord members at ET4 + 2 sympathy? you shouldn't really have issues afaik, is every active skill a 75% one? did you buy your display and dj booth for the character you have most alts? have you spent all your tour tickets on discs for the parameter boost?

>>2252210
>don't you have all the passives from unichord members at ET4
No. I could do it, but it's life and manual at ET2 and combo at ET1. Manual would take awhile because it's a NV.
I do have Tap healing at ET0, but ET1 doesn't boost the score bonus anyway and I'm assuming it doesn't change.
Also my other sympathy is at ET1.
Frankly I'm waiting until we get UniGrowth, that should be a power spike.
Oh, and I'm at 1.9 mil power if that matters. Think it's mil, it's 1.9.

>is every active skill a 75% one? did you buy your display and dj booth for the character you have most alts?
Yes

>have you spent all your tour tickets on discs for the parameter boost?
They are at 8% or so for all currently.

I'm also saving resources currently for UniGrowth. Just in case my teams for that needs a buff. Like how Rondo growth is just way more difficult than PKPK one.
That was really frustrating at the time.

>>2252219
ET4 passives was a big assumption on my part, but yeah UniGrowth should give you that last push you need, skill extension is kinda broken on floor challenge.
i'm sure you won't have any problem when it drops, your loaded backline will carry you from now on

>>2252227
I was tempted to just ET4 the relevant ones. Especially since I need to replenish my paid diamonds for the next event anyway...
But I'm at least trying to be somewhat fiscally responsible.

I had a surprisingly fair run. all 4 in 80 pulls (paid).

Lilies having sexual encounters with gyaru...

The Lilies are the gyaru...

I wish they'll upload that part of the live like Bugbusters. I want to see what it looks like. They don't actually have gyaru costumes, did they? I saw some stuff they uploaded but I don't know which Live it's from.

>>2252915
They wear the same costume as in the key visual.
The archive stream is up though.

>>2252929
Until when? Not sure yet if I want to pay for it.
And uh... I suppose the link would be on the dj jp site?

>>2253043
Uh... How do you find the mixch link? I looked through it but afaict there is no search. And looking at the stuff I can't find anything.

Oh, okay. I found the link up top.
How do you even find the link in the first place?

>>2253077
>How do you even find the link in the first place?
I type the numbers manually in the link to browse through the pages

>>2253083
Good lord.
I hope you don't do it blindly, how do you narrow it down in the first place? I presume you go by dates, but how do you even start?

Well, I see Bugbuster is just 70 ago, so maybe it's not that bad...

>>2253087
Yes they are by dates, it's never too long, look at whats on sale the week before and change the numbers up.
I do it so you don't have to, I don't mind, I've been posting these links for several years now.

>>2253092
It is much appreciated.
Though I always only actually go look for them ages after you posted them lol.

Will appealing to sex save DJs?

When is this month's stream?

>>2253310
Not announced yet
>>2253131
IMO more serious yuri bait (or just dropping the bait and picking 1/2 couples to canonize, consequences be damned) would probably go over better with getting former players back or possibly attracting new blood via fellow yurifags. Double down on shit like HayaCoco makeout cards, the sexy joint-arts they were making for the shippy revival events (just please stop making them low-effort revivals and give us actual relations with good or even OK stories again), or even just dead-ass pretty (but still shippy) art like KyoNeo Winter CP from last year.
Currently though it seems like they're trying to bend over backwards to appeal to a weird mix of idol fans but also the type of rhythm game junkie who turns up to get PFCs and jack off to the waifus while ignoring the plot. Could work, could also not work at all.
To me personally if I'm gonna goon to something I'm gonna do it for a game with 3D models and more blatantly erotic scenes, so the PlayerXGirl fanservice in D4 is wasted on me. Could just be a taste thing though IDK.

>>2253726
Plenty of Hayacoco fans in top 20 in the technical cup last time

I wonder what this 15 song will look like

That is the d4dj fan from last time
she got special invited by Donuts for final audition despite placing out of top 4

Also how do exchange for growth cards? can't find any

Sex with Toru
t.Mikumo

I'm glad that D4DJ's site at least hasn't yet blacklisted foreign IPs...
But fanema has apparently. I was thinking of potentially picking up the Ri4 plush set. Like I could order it off the DJ site, but fanema used to have some extra goodies.
Well, it's just a passing fancy. Unlike other stuff I want to pickup off melonbooks. Now I just need to see if FromJapan can do it, I've already checked the stuff using a VPN, but FJs bots are blocked apparently so I need to wait for a quote. If it even works...

Do you think the same people behind Visa and Master hired the hackers to attack those Japanese sites?

tfw Donuts seem pretty modern and competent in IT.

>>2254779
I was surprised neither accounts made any announcement when the plushies were supposed to go up there, and then I was also met with

Turns out they are in maintenance hell too. Weird because the site looked new.

>>2254935

Like afaict many VPNs are also banned. Well, some at least.

>>2254587
https://x.com/i/lists/2114748811855929672

Though Donuts end up picking 3 girls with real life idol and stage experience for EGOEGG.

This time it is done by the BiSH guy's company so who knows. I actually expect even more candidates not going through the actual open audition than last time, since he must be well connected in the industry. I mean he has done songs for Atarashii Gakko which were shilled all over the place even internationally, plus many more chijyou idol groups.

>>2254779
I don't think D4 is blocking gaijin anytime soon. At least 25% of the remaining fandom is non-JP (although split between the different parts of the world), possibly slightly more. If they kill us they'd kill the project.

>>2254623
>>2255135
There was a girl last time who was a big AM fan who almost cracked the final selection stage, but it looks like she's some kind of amateur idol now or something. If she's not coming back I'll probably just back this other girl instead. Anyone who actually likes/follows the project seriously would make a good seiyuu IMO.

Inb4 new unit is where Toru's little sister is in

Will the new girls be gay? Since a different company is in charge

6th anni Hayacoco on EN soon! I hope it doesn't squeeze me dry like last time.
Then it'll be Unifantasy and I think I don't have anything to roll after that.

Bring a smile to my face whenever I run into a yurifag profile in multi
Best function they have added for a while

>>2256019
How can you tell it's one?

>>2256046
With the JP customized profiles, it is so easy to tell though?

>>2256080
I'm not on JP firstly so I haven't seen what they look like yet.
But I'm wondering what you can tell from them that titles don't show.
Like do they literally state it? Like their favorite ship or w/e.

>>2256085
You can add any card art, including the old profile cutouts, plus any text and several generic geometric shapes to the canvas.

>>2256085
you don't know what you're missing anon. Profiles let you go absolutely nuts. Legitimately the only good thing to come out of this entire anni and is honestly something we should have had in the game ages ago. I love making them and also love seeing what other players come up with.

Got Hayacoco in 50 rolls this time!
And a random Lumina from the POV set, wish it had been the Hayate instead but at least I'm finishing my Unichord collection.
Didn't pick up anyone else besides a random Haruna, and it does leave me in a little of a dilemma. I was thinking of going for top 50... But it might be a little painful without other event cards.
Otoh my deck is strong so that might carry me through.

Also the alt 6th anni costume is kinda boring this time imo. It's just the clean version. But it's all white with a lot of frills... Feels overdesigned and for something monochrome it lacks elegance.

Huh, the outfits do have gold trim in the story that makes them look better.
Perhaps I was blind.

>>2256464
T50? with 2(3 if read that haruna thing right) event cards? sister i'm like 99% sure you could just spam 1 voltage raids in auto whenever you can, manual the special ones and you can go well above T50.
in photon rtf i just spammed 1 voltage lives and was sitting around T9-12 for the majority of the event. remember to use the farm thing whenever you take a shower or can't be bothered to farm.
good luck i expect to see you in the T20 at the end of event rankings :)

>>2256484
>1 voltage
I'm too lazy for that. I have a lot of pots anyway so I'm spamming 5 voltages.
>(3 if read that haruna thing right)
Nah, I mean like actual random, not event.
But yeah, I'll just spam when I can. And also auto the raids because I cba to manual play them lmao. I did the beginning of anni part 1. Got lazy after.
T20 doesn't really matter though because there is no cutoff there anyway...
>remember to use the farm thing whenever you take a shower or can't be bothered to farm.
Yep. That's the plan. I just hope my phone won't auto lock lmao. There seem to be some nuances to when it locks up that I haven't been able to figure out yet.

So far so good at least, I'm T50 with like 15 raids waiting. I'm holding them so I can get 1 T10 daily.

Also the 6th anni Hayacoco card stories are pretty good.
I like how it's... out in the world more.

Is there a rule that only adults can know about it

>>2256561
Looking at Kokoa's card story I wouldn't say Esora is unaware.

Shika looking cute as fuck. What happened

>>2256756
better base to work with. Shika didn't have the boring BDay 1 outfit to ape so they aped her initial (which already looks good) instead.
As a shika fan, I'm thrilled. I hope kyoko is the special guest in her voice drama like Esora was for Rei.

Oh right... Anni doesn't have daily rankings lmao.
Wtf am I even saving my raids for hen.

>>2257137
you could save them to fuck over whoever was in T50 at the last day :)

>>2257158
I could... But that would just make the last day like super tedious. I'm already dreading using up my raids.
Also I'm already T50 and have stacked up 80+ raids anyway... Even at worst case 30k points each I'll be hitting 3 mil points at even end anyway. At a better 40k points that's 4 mil. That should be enough...

>>2257172
>super tedious
wdym you don't use the game as soundtrack for your daily routine (?)
this is just me meddling while bored but you do have the 2 growth units and every sympathy card in your special raid deck for better scoring right?

>>2257183
Growth units yes. All sympathy cards no.
Would all sympathy be better even if they have shit skills? I wish there was an easy way to check score without playing through it.
Also currently most of my deck is Unichord green so I'm also benefitting from club bonuses more. I think only 3 of the cards aren't. The 2 growth and one sympathy ET4. Which honestly I'm not sure why the auto took Shinobu and not Saki... Well, it isn't event card so I don't think it matters.
Well, that and from the groovy discs.
Life boost, auto, growth x2, sympathy. Don't think other skills matter.

Oh, and also currently I have 3 sympathy cards not in my raid deck. 1 ET4 and 2 ET1s.

>>2257202
huh i didn't consider the active skills but tbf you can work towards that while the event is running, i find sympathy specially useful in these special raids were you slot in a bunch of cards but i have all my cards in the deck with unit/style skills and those that dont meet the reqs have perfect score up so idk how much the skills will affect your score, imo (salt and all that) sympathy> passives > event cards>raw stats
personally event cards it's the least important because the stats from my fave outweighs the stat bonus from ET0 event cards + static score boost in some tests i did in a previous raid but idk if it will be the case for you, if someone knows better feel free to correct me

tldr i'd say you should try to have growth + sympathy then slot in relevant passives and event cards, then fill with stats, try X song with your current setup and then try it again with the one with all the sympathy cards

>>2257218
Well, growth isn't something you normally go grind skills for lol. So anything not Unichord or in a full team I've been neglecting their skills, though generally they at least have 65%...
I'll keep it in mind, but this event I probably have T50 in the bag so I'm not going to chase any further. And at least it'll be Unichord growth soon so I can just slot those in... Except it'll probably be months and months away before I get to give them unit match skills. Dunno how it'll be on EN, but I'm hoping Unifantasy drops before then so I can give them the good stuff.
Otoh I might be busy soon for a short while so I'm also kinda hoping it drops later...

UniGay RTF next.
Based on the outline, looks like Michiru has to deal with some gaijin internet fans who remind her of her past self.

>>2258748
>UniGay RTF next.
Really squeezing us Unifags.
Like wasn't it Unifantasy -> Kokoa gfes -> 6th anni part 2?
Well, I'm still happy that at least we get it before we EOS.

>>2258798
lilyfags had it worse:
Ri4 Fantasy -> 6th Anni #1 (KuruMiiko) -> 6th Anni #2 (HaruMiyu) with 0 breaks between any of them.
Some riri tierers on JP got mad enough to quit over it, but I didn't save the tweets.

>>2258809
Ouch, there is no break between part 1 and 2. But at least they have their girls spread over 2 events.
I kinda forgot since I'm primarily a Hayacoco fag, but Lumina and Michiru aren't together, so that's 3 events you need to roll on.

When is anni pt 3 and 4 supposed to be anyway? End of the year I guess?
Also has there been a unit yet that has only 1 member per anniversary part? Imagine the poor soul that needs to roll on 4 banners.

Oh yeah. I think PKPK is that. Only Shinobu and Esora so far.

HA is out, no girls in pt2.
Ri4, M4 both have 2 girls in one part.
AM doesn't have one in pt2 either iirc.
UC has 2 in pt2.
PM and Rondo iirc don't have one in pt1 did they?

Lmao, I was wondering what the last unit was supposed to be. But I forgot I already put PKPK up top and didn't count them.

>>2258813
for EN, they will happen immediately after the current banner. For JP it was all 4 anni events in a row.
The only unit that is spread evenly was hapiara.
>>2258814
Rei was in part 2

>>2259078
>For JP it was all 4 anni events in a row.
Good news because I have stuff to do and was worried I cannot tier for Unifantasy. Otoh, T50 is easy on EN.

But that aside, it's already all 4? Dunno why but I got the impression they had the Eggs after pt2 and pt3 and 4 haven't happened yet.

>Rei was in part 2

Donuts probably can't make me pay for that.

>>2260924
Yes.
If you read ABCD story it's very blatant.
There's a case to be made for Eimi/Shika also.

Skimming the event story. It seems the new song is an instrumental because unichord meets someone who was a big fan of Michiru's pre-Unichord days as a solo act, so the instrumental is probably supposed to be us finally getting to hear what Michiru's solo music actually sounded like (the only """song""" we ever got for her in the past was "Michiru Exercise No. 1", which is a shitpost and barely an actual song).

>>2262644

>>2262650
>And it's one of those you can pay for to use as BGM right?
Ye. There's videos of people FCing it already if you want to listen. Or you can just open JP.
I liked it enough. It's more or less what I originally thought Unichord's music was going to sound like based on their intro + syncrocity.

>>2262916
I see. Synchronicity is a good sign. I wasn't a fan of Unichordron. Or Universe Chord...
Mirai Shift was good though *hint hint*. Come on Donuts, just let us use old instrumentals as BGM. You're leaving money on the table here.

So who visits Shika in her birthday voice drama?
