~Ready Sparking!!!~ I'm "Luna"! This is my main blog which includes a mix of things such as stories of the events I've attended, pictures of stuff I've bought, and commentary on whatever anime I'm currently watching. I speak Japanese and I lived in Japan for over ten years. Some of my favorite things are: King of Prism, Love Live!, Tales of Series, Yuri!!! on Ice, Digimon, Precure, Free!, Sailor Moon. I also love Pretty Series (PriPara/PriChan/Pretty Rhythm) but that stuff has all moved to a sideblog (see below or click here). I also do a lot of various King of Prism and Pretty Series translations, link here and below. Since returning from Japan my interests have broadened a bit. Notably I started playing Neopets again after a 15-year hiatus! So... if you follow me for idols or whatever and don't want to see posts about a 20-year-old broken virtual pets website feel free to block the tag "luna plays neopets".

A bag I am reworking. I started with just the neon PriChan keychains, then added more Pretty Series stuff on the sides, then had an empty space so I put on some LL stuff... but for some reason it didn't look right so I ended up digging out some Aikatsu stuff I've been hoarding and never even used before. Debating whether it's awesome or I just ruined it and should have just spaced out the PriChan keychains and left it at that. I really regret not completing that set when I had the chance, BTW, because they are really hard to search for. (I think I'm only missing Mel but... poor Mel.)

Oh well, IDK when or if I'll ever take this bag out anyway since I noticed some cracks in the plastic at the top. It's a cheap one from Thank You Mart, but they used to have the best itabags back in the day since they were like 500 yen or something and could hold so much stuff. I don't think they sell them anymore... or at least, I couldn't find any online....

WOW! The foreigner hotel plan is back for Love Live concerts! 

When people ask me when/if I’m going to visit Japan again I have been saying not yet. 

Basically because I have been waiting for this hahaha. 

They are doing the lottery now for Liella in AUGUST tho? That’s so soon. And I have other stuff planned for August so it’s just not gonna work. 

But thinking I could, theoretically, see Liella in August is WOW! 

I was thinking this morning that with SIFAS gone, for the first time in a looooong time I only have one mobile game to focus on. For the time being. It’s kinda nice. 

I was considering getting more into Link Like Love Live, but with the Idol Land PriPara release announcement today... mmmmaaaaaayybe not. 

Funny how they announced a release date for Idol Land PriPara the very same day SIFAS became defunct. 

Thanks to the most recent event I now have my first single element full UR team for SIF2.

Too bad I don't have the penlights to idolize them...

I know I am going to miss this game a lot. So many times in the future I just know it's gonna pop into my head that I want to watch a certain MV with certain characters and realize I can't.

But right now I feel only bitterness. Bitterness that I spent time and money on this game for nothing. Bitterness that I could never fully enjoy it because of SIF and the game crashing all the time. Bitterness over all the wasted potential.

Ugh.

This event is kind of a mess. I feel like the only reason they put in the "support" feature is because there are a disproportionate number of players who play on expert and master, therefore they needed a way to force people to play on the easier difficulties.

But like, it's possible to get in a room with four otasuke members. Who are we helping again? Lol.

IDK how to fix it but I wish we didn't have to use LP for otasuke at least.

Haha wow. Third try with randoms. I've never had such bad Shin luck, except for maybe at the first Kinpri Animate cafe all those years ago. I've learned so much since then, clearly. Oh well. I finally got Yu at least. And I found Ito on Mercari, completing both sets.

Plus while I was looking on Mercari I also happened to stumble on these PriChan Sanrio collab badges I didn't know existed. Although they are all with Hello Kitty haha. No idea where they are from, but needless to say I had to have them.

There are two morals to this story. Never buy blind badges first of all. Also if you think your bag is full you are probably wrong.

Welp.

I sent three applications/auditions out into the world for idol-related... things. I like the videos I sent a lot more this time. 

Best case scenario, I can perform this summer and maybe get invited to a group. 

Worst case scenario, I get rejected from all three and basically give up. 

Mid case scenario... maybe I’ll get to perform at one small thing and they get this out of my system and go back to being a virtual idol when Idol Land PriPara comes out haha. 

Perhaps the saddest thing about SIFAS shutting down is I have been playing this game for over two years and I am only halfway to unlocking Ruby's gold title.....

AHHH! My first golden, top 100 title! For Kinako of all characters. It was a somewhat random choice as I had just decided if I were to cosplay someone from Liella it would be her.

Emptied all my candy. This is as high as I am gonna get.

Since I got my transfer code I guess I can delete the game after this event if I want to.

:<

I guess Link Like Love Live actually became a game today but there's no tutorial and I have no idea how to play hahah I passed my first song by tapping randomly.
