The top one looks like generic shounen mc
>>128630874
I was hoping for Minori to get the SR, but Kyoji looks great.
>>128631045
The Kogadou is looking great too. Hopefully they continue with events like these.

>>128631190
Some background context for this Theater in particular.
>>128631491
I don't think that's what C means. Perverted old hags.
>>128631368
The grammatically correct form would be:
"If you would excuse me" or "If you will excuse me".
Or you could use it's contractions as:
"If you'd excuse me" or "If you'll excuse me"
But I've heard "If you excuse me" used so much in daily life that I stopped giving a fuck.

Mom is love.

>>128631621
No, not limited. But if you specifically want her, you're better off rolling before her higher appearance rate period is over.
>>128631193
Underage drinking is srsbsness in Nippon.
But thats okay, because the moment they hit 18, they can waste themselves stupid all the time. It's practically a requirement in their work culture.
>>128632009
I thought drinking age was 20.
>>128631797
What else do you want?
If you want healers or perfect lockers, there are enough SRs to get the same job done.
>>128632009
It's serious business especially in media. If they portray underage drinking in a positive light, they're in trouble.
Also, drinking age is 21, as far as I know, not 18.
8 10 Rolls and like $200 later I have no Yuki. Well at least I got Takumi on one of them.
In any event I should really be considering what manner of events happened in this game that turned me into a Passion P. I never would have imagined when SS started that I would have spent the money I have trying to get girls I originally paid no attention to, Yuki including.
Heaven forbid Yui gets an SSR in the near future and I can't pay my rent that month.
>>128632059
I thought that was just Driving.
But I just checked. It looks like the legal age in Japan is indeed 20.
>>128632118
dunno the way skills work in SS suck since they dont stack
>>128632009
That's only really in anime that they're so strict about it. I went drinking there with several 18 and 19 year olds (as I was 19 my self) without anyone caring or getting carded several years ago.
>>128632184
Welcome aboard fellow PassionP.
>>128632354
Passion enough for you?
>>128632184
This shit is why I'm refunding when the idol I want most comes out. Chihiro won't have my shekels if I don't get what I want.
>>128632434
TWO Jougasakis!?
>>128632302
Depends on the place really.
If you look old enough or whoever is tending the restaurant doesn't really give a shit, you can get away with it.
There are some places that follow the rules strictly though. Like one time I went to those Izakaya with some cousins, they refused to serve us drinks because one of my cousins is short and babyfaced as fuck. She had to show an ID first to prove that she isn't underage.
>>128632452
>tfw used up my free refund on just one 10 roll when I could've gotten enough for three
I regret being such a pussy and not going for the big money.
>>128632720
I haven't done it for a single mobage yet so I can drop around $200 consequence free when the time finally comes.
Trying to buy stars but I end up with this message. Anyone know what's going on?
>>128632885
It's definitely not a connection/time out error, I think it's just Chihiro wants you to perform a blood oath that prevents you from refunding.
>>128632885
Communication Error.
Restart your connection/application
>>128633109
>>128633061
I figured as much from google translate but I've tried restarting/reinstalling/everything I could think of. I wonder what's preventing it from going through.
>>128632885
Are you not signed in to Google play?
>>128633543
I believe I am, it shows the welcome message when i start the game and I can check my achievements in the game menu

>>128633898
White spats even, that's something you don't see often.
I wish to know more about Hokuto and his piano accident.
>>128634174
You do not need to know.
>>128634320
Why? I'm curious to know if he ever fully recovered.
I wonder what Jun would do if he found out Hokuto is a pianist, too.
>Passion Day
>Want to play something new
>Check out videos of Tokimeki, Let's Go Happy, and Romantic Now
Why are Passion songs so damn hard.I guess I'll stick with Orange Sapphire
>>128634605
Tokimeki is the only one that's actually hard.
>>128634605

>>128634815
This, Orange Sapphire has it's fuck you choke spot too but that's about it, didn't stop me from FCing it on the 3rd try.
How can I get more stamina drinks?
>>128635858
Ask Chihiro if she can give you some
>>128635858
You don't need drinks. Just use your jewels. You can always buy more, too.

>>128638645
Just buy your Chie with the tokens if you're feeling anxious.
>>128638994
Just wait till the last day till your use your tokens for Chie / Yuzu if you still don't have them.
You'll feel really fucking stupid if you buy a Chie now and then get her as a drop the next song you play.
>finally gets my first blue envelope from daily rolls
>Dupe haruna
I could have used her for skill leveling, but I just burned for out of spite. Annoying bitch.
Which is better: Score bonus or Combo bonus?
>>128639264
That's what just happened to me. I don't actually care though, I thought about doing that but decided I couldn't wait and just bought one. I love Chie.

>>128640047
The effects of combo bonus can only really be felt when you're finally racking combos in the 300+. It's perfect for the high level songs that you can consistently FC. In theory, a team of Combo Bonus Idols is the best, but I'm not sure.
Personally, I just use a team of 3 Score Boosters and 2 Combo Boosters.
Who'll be filling the remaining spots?
>>128640278
Getting this SSR early on in the game was the best thing. I couldn't stop goofily smiling like an idiot for a while.

She sure is. The things she says when you have the regular SSR on the home screen are way too cute. Maybe I should put that back. I've been using the Nation Blue + card instead, just to hear this. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/107422505/voice_200098_1_09.wav.mp3

>>128646454
Depends on where you live. If you came from a 3rd World Hellhole, any place is better.I dunno about you, but in my stay in Japan, I fucking enjoyed every second of it. Be it the city Infrastructures, the cleanliness, the commuting system and the attitude of service staff be it public or private. Only real problems I had there was that quite a few people were high strung and stiff as shit. Not to mention that alot of the establishments close way too fucking early.
>>128646510
Do these literal who's getting SSR/SR even have Over?

>>128647245
It sounds pretty great if you`re an introvert.
>>128647303
Yeah thanks for the help
So I was looking for more gumi shots and found this funny one.
>>128647329
If you're an introvert you need outgoing people to draw you out.
>>128647641
I assume one would have friends for that, rather than relying on strangers to do that.
The concept of "having a good time" with strangers has always eluded me.
>>128647702
Well... you go to the rave, pop an E...
>>128647245
People at entertainment establishments and places to have fun are amiable. The tour guides are also very chatty and friendly.
I meant high strung and stiff to refer to people outside those places. While at a fastfood place, a woman bumped into me while I was carrying my tray and some of my fries fell to the ground. She looked freaked out as hell and loudly apologized while bowing her head. I tried to tell her that it was alright and that it was chill. She looked like she wanted to commit Sudoku on the spot. Like, holy shit. I didn't even look like a scary westerner. I was just another slant eyed asian.
Another experience was when I offered my seat to an old couple standing while on the train. When I said that, all the people around me gave me a look that kind of said "Is this guy really doing that?". My stop was the next coming station anyway so I offered my seat to the wife. As I walked away, I overheard the husband say "What a Samurai."
That was probably partly in jest but who cares, an actual Japanese Person called me a Samurai. Take that Tom Cruise!
What she saw...
>>128647885
From what I read they have that thing about not meddling in other people's affairs and not helping for not wanting to insult. Always seemed like a cop out to me.
Seems when you actually do it you're a Samurai.
Respect, fucker.
>>128647641
You have to wonder where would Kotoha be without Gumi and Elena
...and who's actually inside it.
>>128647885
> I didn't even look like a scary westerner
I'm a westerner and I take offense to that.
Where's my SSR?
>>128648158
It works in both directions probably. Kotoha likely balances out her friends' silliness to a degree.
>>128648158
It`s not good for the soul to wonder bad things.
>>128648329
How bad would it be then?
>>128648295
>>128648250
If you take offense to that, you're not scary.
>>128648396
Kotoha wouldn`t be like she is if it wasn`t for her friends, they`re a bit of a crutch for her.
What I really want to know is what the fuck happened to tomboy Kotoha.
>>128648295
>>128648582
I don't what does that say about me?
>>128648648
You're okay.
>>128648758
Only okay?I won't scare the idols?
>>128648615
>Kotoha wouldn`t be like she is if it wasn`t for her friends, they`re a bit of a crutch for her.
So she would be even more emotionally unstable than she already is?
>>128648876
Do you want to scare them?
>>128648914
>>128648914
No I don't.
"Ideal age"
>>128649014
17-18 looks pretty good
>>128648882
I mean she would have to grow if it wasn`t for them, it`s like she is their child.
>>128649112
To be fair she probably would have realised she'll never get the P if it wasn't for Gumi the question is would she be able to make peace with it?
>>128647885
>I overheard the husband say "What a Samurai."
I'm pretty sure this part is a pasta and i've heard it somewhere before.
>>128648985
Then don't worry about it.
>>128649512
What if I end up like TakeP?
>>128649617
How did he end up?
>>128649740
Arrested by the police, and I don't have Chihiro to bail me out.
>>128649740
Awesome.
>>128649780
>>128650049
And I don't have his physique.
>>128647885
I don't get it. Samurai were total dicks to non-samurai. A samurai had the legal right to kill a peasant for obstructing them, though it's not the sort of right they'd exercise all the time.
>>128650256
They've been romanticized. Like knights in Europe.
>>128650256
He'd have to prove he'd been slighted, else he'd have to kill himself or have his lineage destroyed.
Kirari a cute.

>>128649474
Not the first time I told this story on 4chan.
I believe that I told this story once on a "experiences in traveling to Japan" thread on /a/ once. The "What a Samurai" part in particular gained alot of attention.
People might've reposted it a few times and even changed some details a little bit.
>>128650162
Not with that attitude you don't.
>>128650256
Knights were assholes and Chivalry is bullshit that was made to romanticize them.
Likewise, Samurai were actually assholes and Bushido is also generally bullshit made to romanticize them.
The honorable concept of Samurai / Knights today is completely independent from the actual historical Samurai / Knights.
>>128650871
Well I'll never meet idols in real life so what's the point?
>>128650940
That's a rather marxist-dialectic view on the matter.

See >>128650871
>>128651097
You're right, but I won't change my attitude.
>>128651142
Oh, you won't change it for me, and that's is good.
But you'll change it as you grow up, which is even better. What an adventure!
Which Idol do you want to ASMR you?
>>128651229
Nah I'm happy the way I am.
>>128651237
What's that?
>>128649440
She would, but it'll eat her on the inside.
>>128651142
>>128651305
I was too, when I was your age (21 to 24 I'd guess), or at least I tried to believe I am.
Luckily things became way better once I get rid of fear of change masquerading as pride / stocisim / whatever gives you a moral boner.

Kaede
>>128651540
He was never a wuss. It's outright stated that the CP weren't his first idols.
It's just that he had a bad experience that shook his confidence and rendered him dysfunctional for a while until Bedhair Dooky fixed him.
Also, do remember that he was the first employee who stood up against the big scary CEO at risk of losing his job.
>>128651660

You attempting to get a profile on me because of two posts. And maybe you are right. And maybe I am right and I really am happy.
Though I wonder what kind of attitude you need to meet 2D idols.
>>128651686
There's no way you'd get away with kissing Momoko or anyone for that matter in front of the idols
