HAPPY FANDOM 4TH ANNIVERSARY TO ME!
Remember this screenshot shown at the end of Episode 12 last week? That’s right! Today, I celebrate my 4th-Year stay here in the LoveLive! Universe! Yay! I shall be talking more about this one later at the end of this Episode! So please, continue reading this Episode until the very end!
Putting these now aside, let us go to the highlights that were encountered during this week on the JP and Global Sides of LoveLive! School Idol Festival rhythm game! Here it goes!
JP SIDE HIGHLIGHTS
Round 18 Companion Match: It’s Our Time to Shine!
Let’s talk about the highlights and results of my progress here in this Event!
Last week, I had given an intro about the Round 18 Companion Match that has started last September 20th. So then, it shall be focusing on the CYaRon! sub-unit (Chika, You, and Ruby). You can backread the last Episode last week to find out more!
For the highlights last week, I got my motivation to grind more in the Aqours Event one more time. Actually, this is not my first time grinding hard for this one. It has started ever since with the last Guilty Kiss Event, the Challenge Festival Event. But then, I am just saying to myself that on every single Aqours Event that are commenced, I shall grind harder to the fullest until I get the Tier 1 Event Point Ranking position. I just also observed that I got only few µ’s members and URs in stable. So then, my JP Side is considered to be Aqours-only exclusive, and then I only grind in Events, given that Aqours is the featured one!
Also, last week, I got some several struggles when it comes to landing higher combo count in some songs. Sometimes, I am being placed with players with higher mic counts, and I am always placed at the last position at the Score Mission. In the Perfects Mission, I can land a higher Perfects count despite that I got a low combo count. But then, I am ended up in the 4th position if I can’t land more Perfects properly, and I always get more Miss count when that song is very hard (Some players can even land an ALL PERFECT even if that MASTER song is very hard!). The result is that when I am placed at the lower position and got no Combo Rank, I always get lower Event Points acquisition after every game (about 7,580 points per play, at 300% Yell Unit Bonus). There are some songs that I am able to land a Full Combo despite being an Easy to Medium Level 12 song. And the result of being in that position and getting a Full Combo in some Score Missions will give me at least 9,500 Event Points, at Yell Units at 300%. So then, making myself lose in some of the Live Shows had tended me to play more, and I ended up playing for at least two hours straight, or until my device’s battery is dead!
I got some struggle in making to at least Combo Rank C on some hard Level 12 MASTER songs. This is due to the fact that I got a random MISS note despite that I already tapped that icon which is incoming very fast. Also, in some point of the Swipe Notes, sometimes, my Swipe traction is failing and I get a MISS. The songs that I got struggle with can be a regular or a Swipe mode. MIRAI TICKET, DROPOUT!?, Aozora Jumping Heart, Brightest Melody, WATER BLUE NEW WORLD, and some other Level 11 song, Kaigandoori de Matteru yo, are some to name few.
Meanwhile, Kinmirai Happy End is the meta song for the Smile attribute, and the good thing is that my Aqours-only Smile Team is my spotlight here. I got almost no problems when landing a high Combo Count to this song, and this song has helped me to excel in the Event Score Rankings.

The current Companion Match in JP Side now has ‘5 Icon’ mode, another type of MASTER song that you would encounter in the future Events! This was introduced before!#lovelive #スクフェス pic.twitter.com/aot3zxbQOP
Aside from having MASTER difficulty being included in the difficulty setting, there are also ‘special’ type of MASTER mode which are also included in the song lineup. Just as seen in the embedded Tweet above, there are ‘5 Icon’ versions of some MASTER songs which were included! So that means, we can expect some of these in the near future Events!
The ‘5-Icon’ is another type of MASTER song, along with the regular and the ‘Swipe’ ones. This was introduced a long time ago, in an Event campaign that I don’t even remember! And yes, they can be found in your ‘MASTER Sides’ of your song library, in the Live Show mode. Some known songs that are included, to name few, are WATER BLUE NEW WORLD, Kinmirai Happy End, and PSYCHIC FIRE.

Event Score: Rank 3963 (2,510,119 score, Kinmirai Happy End)#lovelive #スクフェス pic.twitter.com/2DfOH7TNXw
This Event has been concluded on the last day of September, placing me in the Tier 1-1 position. This is the second Aqours Event that I managed to place in the Tier 1 (Rank 1-500 bracket) Event Points Ranking, receiving better rewards!
CONTINUED: Aqours Set Limited Signed URs Scouting

Happy fandom 4th anniversary to me ?#lovelive #LLSIF pic.twitter.com/Z5d5uxsbN1

Round 40 Score Match: Rainy Day Series

Round 40 Score Match: Rainy Day Series
I know the drill when it comes to these…. Score Match Points defense!#lovelive #LLSIF pic.twitter.com/czmg7lR7gv
The next Event shall be a Score Match Event. This time, it shall be in the Aqours Side! This shall feature 7 Event SRs, 5 of them can be obtained by earning more Event Points, while the two of them shall be obtained by placing higher in the Event Point Rankings!
You know the drill already when it comes to this type of Event! Earn more Score Match Points, prevent losing them, and place higher in the Score Match Points Rankings to get awesome and better rewards! Just remember to take a break in between if you have noticed that you weren’t able to land a Full Combo Finish on some harder songs, especially the easier ones.
Autumn 2020 Limited Box Scouting for µ’s and Aqours
Also ongoing with the current Score Match Event is the limited box scouting for both µ’s and Aqours! Mostly, the scouting boxes contain mostly some Standard URs that were released previously. So then, if you are completing a certain set, or if you have a certain UR that your are looking for to complete your dream team project, then do scouting on these!

The name is… Z Ultimate. The μ’s-only Cool team.#lovelive #LLSIF pic.twitter.com/bc5QdEeUCs
My recent draw is the embedded Tweet above! I had drawn a Maki UR when I attempted to scout, not because I like it. It is because I am completing a ‘project’ in which I can use it to excel in some Cool attribute songs. Before I scouted for Maki UR, I had bought a Rin UR from the Seal Shop, at the time of the last day before it expires.
What can you see on the last photo of my embedded Tweet above shall be my ongoing project! In fact, this shall be my future ‘frontliner’ of my Global Side account of LLSIF! If I had the Aqours-only Smile Team in my JP Side account, then my Global Side account shall have the µ’s-only Cool Team! So then, the road to ultimate team creation begins.
My LoveLive! Fandom: Happy 4th Anniversary!
It’s been four years ever since I got introduced in the LoveLive! Universe. In fact, I had already make it this far! Happy 4th Anniversary to my LoveLive! fandom — a fourth year stay in this fandom!
Also, this is the time that I got introduced to its featured game, the LoveLive! School Idol Festival. That same date is the time when I started and begin playing with this game! I had been playing ever since 2016 with no signs of declination. I shall continue to follow with the LoveLive! Series — by playing its game, as well as the School Idol Festival ALL STARS!
So then, the saga still continues. I shall continue to be staying once more in this School Idol Universe for another year. From now, we shall be having µ’s, Aqours, Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and the impending Liella from the future LoveLive! Superstar!! series! That’s right, I should be aiming for a five-year run with this series, making it my longest stay in any fandom ever!
And to look back on the third anniversary of my fandom, you can read the following below to find out what has happened last year!
