The Acronym of Power -Part 1-
Power. This is something that is neither good nor evil. In order to get power, there are five words to remember! Let us discuss this acronym!
Letter P is for Perseverance. It is something that you need in order to gain power. That’s right! It is what we call hardwork, in the other word around! Without it, you can’t have power. The real power in you can be gained by working hard in order to achieve the dreams you wanted! Just don’t forget to rest, though.
Letter O is for Observation. In the sense that you are observing your power, you should learn on how to use it very well. You can tell and observe on how your power works. If you are able to use it by good strategy, you can achieve victory. However, if you weren’t observant with your power, then it’s useless and you can’t win no matter how hard you try.
These are just the first part of this theme! I can give you more next week!
Welcome to the 38th Episode of School Idol Festival Journal Log! Let’s begin, shall we?

So right now, there are many things to discuss, especially when this segment was off last week! It seems that we are on the way to the game’s 8th Anniversary right now, and expect things to go wild and exciting! Please do read the highlights in the JP and Global Sides of LLSIF rhythm game! What has happened recently? Find out by continuing to read!
JP SIDE HIGHLIGHTS
There are things that happened in the past two weeks, and in the past week during the time when I am off from the publishing! Please do read, thanks!
So then, I had effortlessly grinded in the Score Match Event by playing always on either the Expert or Technical Expert difficulties. I had observed that some players are just playing on that difficulty in order to defend their Score Match Points, preventing them to drop drastically when they lose. Basically, the players who play in the Master difficulty are insanely powerful, and your SMP will drop drastically if you keep losing. So then, since it never records your rankings for score, I decided that I should be playing in the Technical Expert difficulty, as advised. This should help me to build up more SMP if needed, in order to survive the SMP Rankings. Remember that if you encounter a very strong opponent, together with the other computer-controlled players, expect that you are going to lose!
It is safe, actually, to play on Expert or Technical Expert. But, just remember to mind your Event Points Rank to survive in the rankings!

To make up with my loss in the Global Side, ending in Tier 2-1 last two weeks ago, I had finished this Event with a Tier 1-1 standing. Looks like I am ready to catch up all of the things that will happen soon in the game’s 8th Anniversary!

Remember to do Special and regular Live Sessions in the Live Arena to obtain these rewards below!
There are two kinds of rewards. One is for group rewards, and the other is for your own individual rewards!#lovelive #スクフェス pic.twitter.com/xlt9VHjUHT
The reason that you must do regular Live Sessions in Live Arena is because of these! You can win some rewards, such as some items that can be used to exchange with some exciting items, like Support Members! There are two rewards types, one is for group rewards (entire players who were playing in the JP Side) and the other is your individual rewards! Clear more Live Sessions (at least 50 of them) to get awesome rewards!
During the past week, as this segment was off from the publishing, an April Fool’s Day collaboration was made with an another Anime series! LLSIF collaborates with Crayon Shin-Chan, a children’s Anime series!

Icon Collection Event Songs Restart?
Icon Collection: A Gorgeous Part-Time Job Experience for μ’s
Event UR is Eli, and Umi & Honoka are for Scouting.#lovelive #スクフェス pic.twitter.com/KExhvWEIBR
This Icon Collection Event is in the favor of µ’s this time around! But wait, µ’s already got one since January, and why is it µ’s again? This Event has begun since the 5th of April, and will last until the 15th of April.
The Event UR to be acquired this time is Eli Ayase, and the other URs to be acquired from Scouting are Umi Sonoda and Honoka Kosaka! By playing and grinding more Event Points within this Event period, you can get a Secret SSR member, as well as some previous Event SRs that appeared in the past Events! Try to play more and get all of the item rewards from the Event! And also, if you are aiming for Tier 1 Event Points Ranking, make sure to play hard and defend it!
The Event Song in this Icon Collection Event is Yujo No-Change! Similar to the previous Icon Collection Event in the µ’s Side, it features the ‘Song Melody’ mode gimmick! You know what this means, right? Also, along with the Event Song is a 5-Icon mode Master song, and it was Cutie Panther! Try to test your skills by clearing that song and land an FC finish in it! Are you dexterous and fast enough?
For the final highlights and results, it shall be posted next Episode! Look forward into it!

What waits at the other side of the door to the 8th Anniversary is…
This lottery ticket can be used right after the patch update on April 15th, which is also the LLSIF’s 8th Anniversary!#lovelive #スクフェス pic.twitter.com/S8tjzcGpf2
So then, we are just a few days away from the game’s 8th Anniversary! Right after the Icon Collection Event, this is going to be explosive as ever.
But then, what awaits us at the other side of this lottery ticket that we have in our item lists?
GLOBAL SIDE HIGHLIGHTS
After the sad defeat since the last Score Match Event, it is about time for me to do my counter-offensive! This is going to be intense as ever, and I shall give my full power into this Event!
Round 16 Companion Match
【LoveLive! SIF】
— いのりどんず (INORI DONZ NETWORK) (@InoriDONZ) April 1, 2021
? Revenge Grind ?
Round 16 Companion Match#lovelive #LLSIF pic.twitter.com/JOC2frMJxz
This Event has begun just a week ago! Right now, it is expected to end in just few days! Let me give you the details right away!
The Event UR to be obtained is Rin, and the URs to be scouted to gain more Event Points are Umi and Maki. Secret SSR, meanwhile, is Hanayo, and she can be obtained by playing through in this Event!
For the details and my experiences in the Event, it seems that I am more powered up than ever! So then, I was able to land an FC finish to some other Master songs. Back then, I was still a bummer, after all. But right now, after all of the years, I am well-experienced in playing School Idol Festival! If it is a Companion Match, you can do always play at Master difficulty, given if your fingers are well-experienced enough! Just remember to take a rest in between if you think that your fingers can’t take it anymore. You can grind hard, but don’t forget to rest as well.
Use the greater mic numbers by your other players in the room to gain score advantage! And that is in order to survive in the Score Rankings in this Event! If you got a meta-song in which it is your primary target (i.e. Binetsu Kara Mystery), then you should wish and pray for some players to have higher mics than you (also you should have higher mic numbers). And those mic numbers can determine by your team members’ Skill Level, and remember that! That can affect your Tap Score bonus when you land Perfects!
The Perfects Missions can be a pain in the butt, especially if it goes with your target meta song. If that happens, you must sacrifice your result ranking for your meta song score!
And finally, this Event shall be ending soon in just a few days. Final results shall be posted on my Twitter account and on the next Episode next week!
FEATURE OF THE WEEK!
【School Idol Festival Journal Log】
— いのりどんず (INORI DONZ NETWORK) (@InoriDONZ) April 5, 2021
Starting in the upcoming Episode, as well as in the succeeding ones, it shall be introducing the ‘Feature of the Week’ sub-segment! It shall be featuring about the things and groups in the LoveLive! Series!
As announced in my Twitter account, this shall be the new sub-segment in the future SIF Journal Log Episodes! And this shall replace the LLSIF Tip of the Week sub-segment! For our first feature of the week, here it goes!
The Legendary School Idol: µ’s
The first flagship School Idols of the LoveLive! Series, µ’s (Muse), had made debut on year 2010. They had made their debut with their first animation PV single, entitled “Bokura no LIVE Kimi to no LIFE”. µ’s has become the primary foundation of the LoveLive! Series, thus continuing their legacy, with the succeeding new flagship School Idols, like Aqours, Saint Snow, and Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
This School Idol group has produced more than 200 songs, including their sub-unit songs, as well as some solo-versions of their songs, and some other collaborative songs. Their most-requested songs, such as Snow Halation, has somehow topped into the Japan music charts during the past.
True Power Awakens Next Week!
And that’s it for this week! I hope that you had enjoyed reading this Episode! For the POWER acronym, we had mentioned the first two letters! What could be the next letters to be given, and what could be their meanings? We shall find out next week!
