The Face Turn
Everyone can face victories, and defeats at the same time. Upon being fighting with good against evil, some people do make their ‘face turns’ not only to betray their allies. They wanted to prove something that only them can do and achieve, without any assistance from their friends or allies.
Face turn is something for some heroes (or rivals) to turn against with their ally or friend and to join the evil side for reasons. Vice versa as well. In fact, this term is used by the popular professional wrestling during the times.
It’s about time to make a face turn with the LLSIF rhythm game, and it has something to do with this Episode today! Please read until the Global Side highlights to see what has happened! Let us begin the 35th Episode of Inori-D Station’s blog posts segment, the School Idol Festival Journal Log!

Nijigasaki Side. A press release statement (post) by LoveLive! Series Team has been released, stating that the commencement of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club’s Shuffle Festival in School live performance in venue has been deferred. This was because the state of emergency in Japan has been extended further due to the effects of COVID-19 and its variants.
People who are eager in waiting for this event, has put their waiting efforts into a waste. Well, respective refunds are being made now as of this moment. I don’t know if it also affects the local and overseas paid streaming.

I can get one UR by doing Scout x 11, yet I got 3 URs instead.
I must not overspend indeed, since the 8th anniversary is just around the corner.#lovelive #スクフェス pic.twitter.com/IlkewQrxkF
Also, in this campaign, there is also Scouting available! As mentioned earlier, you need to do Scout 11 (50 Love Gems) to get at least 1 UR! Use this chance if it happens that you are looking for a certain UR that you don’t even have it yet in your stable!

Last Episode, we had previewed about this Event. In this week, we can talk about my highlights and experiences with this Event! Please do read more below to find out!
In the past few days, I had been slacking off due to my other side activities and chores! And not only that! I am doing also my Event grinds in the LoveLive! ALL STARS game in all branches. As of today, I had been grinding for at least 400k+ Event Points! I wonder if I could make it to the Tier 2 Event Points cutoff at the end of March 15?
Alright, let us go to the highlights! If you are going to play for the Ultimate difficulty course, just remember that all of the songs in the 5 rounds are of Master difficulty. So then, you can learn from the Challenge Festival that there are five categories of Master songs that you are playing! I classify them in difficulty categories!
Category 1 Master songs are easy, which in fact that some of them are too difficult and tricky to land an FC finish. Example of Category 1 Master songs are Someday of my Life, Yujo No-Change, and Snow Halation. There are five categories of Master songs, and Category 5 being the highest and the hardest. Garasu no Hanazono and Soldier Game are something to watch out here, since they are both of Category 5 Master songs. So then, you have a background now on these type or category of Master songs, in which you are asking why some of them are very hard, and some of them are very easy!
The Event is just ending in 3 days from this time of this Episode. Will I able to snatch the Tier 2 finish and a Tier 1 Score in this Event? Find out as I am going to give the final results of this Event in the next week’s Episode!

GLOBAL SIDE HIGHLIGHTS
So then, is this the main happening or highlight in this Episode? What does it mean that I had made my face turn? There are reasons why! Please read more of the highlights below to continue!
Round 21 Challenge Festival: It Begins! Cheerleader μ’s! (Final)
So finally, we had reached the main event of this Episode! If you want to know what has happened, please continue to read below!
Despite being a (easy) tough Event to grind with, I had really pushed through with all of my strength and wits to reach very far with my big Event Points. Also, my Full Combo chain failures are one of the reasons why I made it this far. But then, there are reasons why I had made my face turn from Aqours being the primary side to grind hard and reach Tier 1 victory in the Event Points ranking.
So when I found out that my schedules are becoming tougher and tighter, I had decided in myself to make this a sacrifice. In fact, my Event Points in my grind is very high, and I don’t want my hard-grinding efforts be in vain.

🎺 Tier 1-1 Finish… In the favor of μ’s! 🎺

🥇 Event Pts.: Rank 41 | 4,024,304 pts.
🥇 Event Score: Rank 573 | 2,718,810 scr (Trouble Busters)
Previous results in the RT#lovelive #LLSIF https://t.co/IKfz80caVJ pic.twitter.com/pNNXlfbdIR
With the conclusion of this Event last March 8, 2021, this is considered to be my first Tier 1-1 victory in the favor of µ’s. And that is the start of my face turn from the Aqours Side, thus making it also the start of my hard Event Points grinding in the µ’s Side Events from now on.
There is only one reason why I did this. To find out, you can read the next highlight below.
Aqours Side Next Event: Round 42 Score Match
【ラブライブ！スクフェス】
— いのりどんず (INORI DONZ NETWORK) (@InoriDONZ) October 31, 2020
Round 45 Score Match: Aqours and the Autumn of Sports – Results
🥇Event Points: Rank 345 at 2,217,597 pts
🥇SMP: Rank 570 at 25,134 pts
Final Standing: Tier 1-1#lovelive #スクフェス pic.twitter.com/1Tj1vJws79
Round 42 Score Match (Aqours and the Autumn of Sports) is somehow revealed to be the next Event to occur in this Side! It shall be in the favor of Aqours this time around. This Event shall be occurring soon on March 16, and shall last until March 25, 2021! This shall be a 9-Day Event, if I am not mistaken.
Event UR to be obtained is Dia Kurosawa, Secret SSR to be acquired from Event grinding is Ruby Kurosawa, and the URs to be obtained by scouting are Hanamaru and You! You know the rules on how to survive in this type of Event, do you? Well then, good luck and be victorious!
But then, it is occurring on March 16 to 25, and it is going to be coincidentally colliding with my JP Side, in which it is also an Aqours Event! In the JP Side next Aqours Event, it is going to be occurring on March 20 until 31! So then, the Events are now parallel to each other, now, coincidentally. In fact, that was the main reason why I did my face turn from the Aqours Side to µ’s Side in my Global Side!
And that’s it, the reason why I did my face turn is in the last paragraph above, and it is finally revealed!
LLSIF TIP OF THE WEEK!
For the LLSIF Tip of the week, here it goes!
Match Types and Attributes!
【ラブライブ！スクフェス】
— いのりどんず (INORI DONZ NETWORK) (@InoriDONZ) March 10, 2021
LLSIF Tip #9
Match Types and Attributes!#lovelive #スクフェス pic.twitter.com/0iXR6xFkgT
For this tip, this was very simple! Simply match the song with some types and attributes of your current team! For example, if you are facing a song which is a µ’s song, and its attribute is Pure, you shall have to use a team consisting of µ’s and of Pure attribute per member! With this advantage, you can score higher and efficient!
For what reason did they face turn? Answer is in next week!
Now that you have an idea on why people do ‘face turn’ at their allies, whether in the good or evil side. Basically, they have reasons why they do that. As mentioned in the opening paragraph of this Episode, they did them because they wanted to prove something that only them can do without any help or assistance from their allies.
So basically, what happens after they do that? They can either have a bad impression (being a big evil one), or even have a good impression (by betraying his or her evil side, or helping a hero as a villain). It always depends on the person, after all. As an individual, you should know the odds of face-turning against with your ally or friend.
And that’s it for the Episode 35 of School Idol Festival Journal Log! I hope that you have enjoyed reading it! Anything happened today, after this Episode was published, shall be included next week! Tune-in next week for the another Episode! See you and cheers… Happy weekend!
