Lol. That first screenshot is exclusive for Medley Festival (the blue icons). Not sure what's the difference for the red and yellow icons.

@ trafi
Nope. It's not been released yet. They just announced Nozomi's victory this month. We will have to wait for around 3 months (estimate) before we can marry get that UR Nozomi.

Tried playing SIF on my android phone... Uuuugggghhhh... My thumbs are too slow. :\ I'll stick with my pointing fingers and iPad. xD

Additional news (no it's not new)
Time for some grinding again! :D

Red ones are normal perfect locks whereas yellow ones are from Rare perfect locks. These are shorter and only change Greats into Perfects.

Maki event came with a tier increase. Cheers. Hopefully this will reduce the chances of the event becoming a warzone.

@AkikoXi: w/thumbs takes practice and it's definitely harder but it's how I play on my main account which makes me the opposite because on my alt. account I can't hold a 12'' tablet like that haha it took me a while to get used to it.

@ shadow
Considering the Tier1 cut-off at 4k and Tier2 at 1k after 24 hours, it's quite peaceful. But we will have to see until the EX song appears.

@ Rye
Lol. I played EX immediately with a Lvl1 acct on my android. Heck. I failed! Dx
Maybe if I get used to it, I'll transfer my account on my phone. iPad's too troublesome to carry.

Edit:
Hey I got better at it!!! :D Hahaha

And right after 1 game I levelled up to Level 4! XD

Really thumbs are harder? I've only ever played on phones, so thumbs are all I ever use. Still get full combos tho.

Dammit!!!! Ive been so busy with life I keep on missing chances to play!!!! Not that I love the song choicespecially right now but still Maki! I must have Maki!!!!

@ ari-chan
Just look back when you just started this game. Lol. That's how it feels like for me. Can't help myself to just play with the iPad

We've got a new version of Score Match! We will have to wait for a year on EN for this

Basically it's the same with the EXPERT mode, the difference would be the songs are harder.

@Akiko Yea, just started plain Nozomi's event and I love it!!!!! Just wish it wasnt pure songs. So far I've only play the NozoNico song and Kira Kira Sensation, both of which u notoriously suck at but still it's a lot of fun!

Maki's event is pretty dull right now...

@ ari-chan
Ee? It's not pure songs. I already played some cool at smile songs too.
I'm fine with Maki's event. :3 I'm almost there getting a triple S on Aishiteru Banzai. σ(^_^;)

"The Voice Philippines" is currently on right now. It's a bit tricky playing while the contestants are singing. The beats of game's songs and the one on TV are mixed >_< In addition, I'm a victim of multi-tasking again. Lol I chose my Pure team for a Cool song (￣▽￣)

^ assumed wrong my bad. It's a lot of fun though. But I'm not doing too great so I might have to move down to expert until the next score match. I keep on getting stuck in third place, RIP me. T.T

I don't know if you guys saw this:

I never thought I'd get rick rolled here...it happened 2 days ago I think I just forgot to talk about it.

@AkikoXi: That happened to me when I unlocked Susume Tomorrow I was spacing out and picked my pure team then I was like "wow this song is really hard to S rank" later I realized it was a smile song xD

@ ari-chan
Lol. I sticked with EXPERT mode on Nozomi's event. I think those Japanese are using more than 10 fingers. :3

@ Rye
Yeah. Saw that too. It just means that even SIF cannot escape the rick rolling. :P It stayed there for a while though. Until they were knocked out of their ranks.

Haven't got a single team having all the muse members in place. >_< Kinda hard collecting them all in a single team as a "unit".

Lol Imean I figured it out and I'm doing pretty well with technical, I feel like going back down to expert would overpower the less experienced players buttttt, then again I'm getting tired of third place!

When you've played so many times you just don't give a fuck.

^ Naaaaah~ I wouldn't mind about it. People wouldn't even go on Expert mode if they are "less experienced". Besides, many Japanese got tentacles to play this game.

Aaaaaaannnnnddddd 20 more to go~ ♪( ´▽｀)

I already memorized this song from top to bottom and can't help singing along with it while playing. Lol. I still prefer Maki's piano version though

Finally it's here!!!

Time for some grinding later。 (─‿‿─)

I just got my SR Maki from the event rewards... ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆
It's official! My favorite team at the moment is my Smile Team!!! o(｀ω´ )o

I'm justo gonna drop this here and le ave slowly http://hako.re/forum/64-moe-download/14009-love-live-school-idol-festival-official-illustration-book-artbook-mega.html

Is it just me or the expert song from Maki's event is way easier than the usual ? ._.
S for combo and score after having played 2 time... and I was half asleep for the first one...

Yesterday I was like ok I just need to grind tomorrow all day long! instead I played Resident Evil...close enough.

@Serenata: Too bad it doesn't have any of the N girls a lot of them are really cute anyway thanks.

@trafi: Really?! you guys are too good I can't do it I'm terrible at it, I can't do the full half circle thingy I just can't do it so I'll just be a n00b and play on hard :/

@Trafi yea it is actually. You can tell the difficulty by the number of notes or stars. This song only has around 413 and the pace is kind of slow. (It's a slow song.)

@Akiko I was soooooo excited for Random and then I realized it wasn't as hard as it used to be. :/ I got an FC on the second try.

I don't really trust the stars, there has been songs without red star that I found way harder than other with red star x)

@Rye Yeah that half circle would have been an nightmare for me some time ago but there so much of this type of move (though it's not the full half circle) in other faste paced songs that I'm just used to it now

@Serenata
Will be adding that on the first post. Thanks for dropping it off. :)

@trafi
Since you're also playing those JP version songs, Maki's event song will definitely be a lot easier for you. JP EX songs still give me nightmares.

@Rye
Naaah. You're not the only one. I'm more of a noob than you are when it comes using the thumbs for playing. I can't even FC Aishiteru Banzai EX.

@ari-chan
Lol. It's because you already played it a lot on JP :P And IMO, the random one is a lot easier than the fixed EX.

Okay I'm done with this.

And speaking of half circles Kitto Seishun has that too...and I did better at no Full combo but waaay better maybe I was just sucking yesterday. I probably was since I wasn't FCing anything not even the easiest ones
I think I need to practice more to get to the next rank(skill wise) but hah...I never practice anything that's why I don't play fighting games competitively except smash and I'm not even good at it

Stars lie! banzai and baby maybe are easier than mermaid and rush but they have the same lvl...what?

Kitto Seishun could be a 2 full circle, that's so long x)

So how'd everyone do? I just barely made it lol. Like 20 away from the cut off for the event ranking, and 5 away for the song. But I made it. ^.^

I didn't try to be well ranked : 5678 event, 7206 song (my smille team is the worst have >.>)
I got a scouting ticket
...
