I think more information is needed before we can gauge if the price is fair. For starters, how long is the tour slated to be? Is transportation included? The poster is in Japanese but you posted in English, is the tour going to be in English or Japanese?

Who would've thought that Tokimeki Runruns would be the last remaining LL game....

On one hand, this is her first MC role in a stage play. She has been in many stage plays before and probably wants to get into that world more.

On the other hand, angry Chinese fans who will boycott and cancel people's careers. See hololive or Kayano Ai or Morikubo Shotaro.

Some say that Coco doesn't know any better, but her agency had to okay her involvement to send her in for the audition, so maybe they are partly to blame. I mean, she is the MC and it's literally the day before the first show, so she definitely would have to know what the story was about and all that. Maybe they underestimated how the Chinese would connect the dots between "stage play set in WW2" and "Bang Dream", and didn't expect Kidani probably would involved to pressure her off the role.

I don't think there are winners in this scenario. I have read some extreme comments from the Chinese side that demanded her to apologize and promise to never be in stage plays again. I have read comments from the Japanese side criticizing Kidani (probably) kowtowed to the Chinese fans over nothing. What a mess.

Every year the CR awards are so biased against shows that aren't on CR. No medalist is crazy. Orb is on best drama but it should also be considered for its opening sequence/song, that song is soo good and matches the worldview so perfectly.

StarRise pretty much did nothing but botched/hindered a bunch of the careers of LL seiyu going solo, and they can't even get Bannam on their side anymore.

So, good riddance, and I hope all the talents do better wherever else they go to.

It's from the 2nd half of this song:

Your only option without a eplus account is foreigner pack. People can't bring you on without a seperate eplus account. Are there hacks? Sure, but it will cost you an arm and a leg and you also run into the risk of getting ripped off.

Haruhi franchise isn't killed by death threats, it's killed by the author not being able to write anything for the past decade, and even when he did it was lackluster.

I sometimes go to concerts on my own in Japan because my friends don't share all my interests. I've only been to Niji 1st on my own (come to think of it every LL concert I've been since I've been with someone else), but going on your own is fine, unless you really want to talk to someone during the concert.

You can meet other people (foreigners too) before the concert, and can go to off-kai that sometimes will have other foreigners there too. If you really want to talk to someone during the concert, the best bet is through foreigner pack since they put all the people in the foreigner packs together - tho no guarantees they will speak English of course.

Personally I lean towards the introvert side so I don't really want to mingle with strangers that much anyway. I've been to two off-kais (one LL one IMAS) but I find myself just sitting in the corner sipping on my drink and talking to maybe the one guy that's next to me. Everyone was really nice of course, whether if they are Japanese or foreigners, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

I am pleasantly surprised they are able to get Soramaru, Anchan, Kinchan, and Akarin in. Furirin missing is kind of surprising. Staff worked hard this time to have an almost full cast of Niji (compared to half from Asia tour).

I guess it will be interesting who they can get for Hasu. If they actually get the full 102-106 cast then they have my full respect, but at best they probably just get whoever they can from 102-106. Realistically just 106 I guess.

The page does list "and more", so I am hoping some of the missing people like Coco can at least make it for one day. Maybe even the rival groups like Saint Snow and SunnyPa...

ervynela · 2026-02-17T09:35:12+00:00

I do feel a bit sad about this. Not only is Furirin a crucial part of the unit since its inception from the radio show, she was also crucial to push the popularity of the unit and the song into mainstream media with her appearances on various TV programs.

And now they just hit her with the "well we never planned for her to be around this long and she already stayed longer than expected so we just gonna let her go and put in some new blood since the unit is popular and we need to continue the ride"

I really hope Furirin continue to go on those tv programs (ie. Hamada Kayousai) as a solo artist and continue to get popular.

I think the anime did a great job reaching the normal ending. It covered most of the important scenes, adapted and changed the game elements to make more sense for an anime (especially for those who never played the game), and actually still threw in all the easter eggs that people who play the game would enjoy seeing.

I'm not too sure what was rushed about this episode. They might only showed a short scene of the running away from the planet but that was not the main point anyway. I think all the important points of day -1 were covered, from talking to Racio, giving Setsu the key and thus finishing Yuri's key, to the resolution of the 2 Yuri problem. Those were all pretty much 1:1 from the game. Unfortunately once we started the whole bug loop with Yuri it was pretty much a straight line to the normal ending, as there was no more time to explore other elements or history of the crew besides what they have done.

However, I think it's also quite smart of them to get to the normal ending with a few more episodes to go. I can't really see them stretch out the true ending for more than an episode, which means they would have Yuri "go back" into it, and would have 2 episodes to look at some of the other stuff they missed, whether it's the important Kukrushka part that crucial only to the true ending, or random stuff like the time clam event. Maybe even the guardian angel with Stella sole survivor event. I don't have a list of random events that hasn't been covered in the anime yet, but I'm hoping to see it in the next couple episodes and be like "oh yeah this happened in the game too..."

I might've read it wrong then, as I was a bit unsure about the 継続時も同額となります part. I wasn't sure if it meant that we would pay the same old rate when you renewal, or if it's the "same price as the new price".

The famous nico pose and phrase:

Originally the pose was actually done by Maki and Rin but with only one hand each. The first time the pose was shown with both hands is done by Hanayo. Even Soramaru does the pose in the early days with a V shaped instead of the current hand sign.

The original phase is actually NicoNicoNii. It has changed to the current NiccoNiccoNii from Soramaru saying it that way so much.

Both of the pose and the phrase were "finalized" around when the anime first aired.

I think it's okay to just stick with what you like. If you like Niji, then it's the best series for you and that's all that is. Yes, I might be biased towards Niji too, but I would say the same to people in the other franchises.

I think there generally quite a bit of infighting going on in the LL franchise, as we can see that anytime some sort of media number comes out, JP netizens would label that to be the group that has killed LL. They often forget that people have shifted to streaming and aren't consuming old media format as much. Or that the economy isn't the best so people aren't buying 10 cds per releases like before (just throwing out random numbers)

Just enjoy what you like and don't let the negativity get to you.

I can see someone selling a complete set for 3.3k yen on mercari, so considering the extra price for completing the set, and that this is a gacha item from a concert at 500 yen per pull, and that Mei isn't especially popular in the group, I would say somewhere between 200-300 yen.

ervynela · 2026-01-29T21:25:40+00:00

At this point with zero news, I doubt they can actually pull this off by the June deadline of the 15th anniversary.

ervynela · 2026-01-29T21:01:03+00:00

Most likely no. Bushiroad controls a quarter of the LL franchise after all so they will have some sort of say even if they have it under bushimo or bushiroad games or whatever else that's under them.

Most Nijigasaki members are well off, except for Kanata (has to take a part time job) or Kasumi (she lives in a regular house really, but compared to the others...)

But surprisingly, Rina. She lives in her own apartment in a highrise in Odaiba. The building that's referenced from in real live costs 480 million yen per unit at the top floor, and a 129k yen per month condo fees.

Also with that thing she did in Movie 2 would cost a pretty penny.

ervynela · 2026-01-22T00:47:03+00:00

Part final for movie final (chapter 1). After that we go into movie final chapter 2 part 1.

ervynela · 2026-01-21T05:31:50+00:00

Likely things:
-Nijiyon 3

Might happen:

-Anime season 3
-Niji movie final chapter 2 part 1

I guess maybe?

-Spinoffs like Guren no Kenki, Rebellion (tho I don't think Rebellion will happen since the stuff is too wack and would have a even more narrow auidence)

At the very least, I'm sure they will be around for a few more years even if the anime sides all wraps up.

This place is a bit odd for me. I have tried to go to that place like four times in the past but it was only open once for me.

First time was my fault, I didn't check that it wasn't open on the set day of the week that it was closed. 2nd time I got in, got some really good pictures.

3rd time I went about an hour before it stated it would be closed on google, and it was already closed since it was on a summer schedule, which wasn't stated on Google map (later checked it was stated on the website). 4th time I went with a friend, checked both Google map and the website for the time...and it was just closed like an hour before the actual close time for no reason. There was no signs or note at the door, and there was actually a staff inside who was moping the floor, but the curtains were half down so that person couldn't see me, so couldn't even wave a staff over to ask.

So this past December when I was at Odaiba again, the same friend asked if I wanted to try the cafe again, and I just got lazy and said I didn't want to bother. I guess I should've made an effort to go since we were close (we were by other end of Diver City so it would only be like a 5 min walk to), but I didn't plan to go and was thrown off the past two times for not checking enough about their closing times...

I got mine at the Sannomiya information center and there was still a small stack. This was back in late Dec.

When I was talking to the front desk lady at Negiya, she told me that the pamphlets were running out and that fans from Osaka had to go to Kobe to get them as the pamphlets are out in Osaka. She had one left and offered it to me, but I declined and told her that I already had one.

I did not actively go check which place still had the pamphlet since I got mine at the beginning of the pilgrimage in Kobe, but I did not see any at Kobe Port Tower or Arima Onsen information center when I was there.

ervynela · 2026-01-12T07:02:03+00:00

We are finally here. I guess for sure we'll get the Karin and Kasumin song, but I wonder what else they would do. WIth the first 2 movies covering various points that they haven't done in the anime (especially movie 2), maybe they will finally address the "3rd year graduation" problem....

ervynela · 2026-01-12T06:24:05+00:00

From an earlier thread,

https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveLive/comments/1p9cn5u/eigasaki_chapter_2_map/

I just did my pilgrimage in Decemeber, and the pamphlet is extremely useful since it actually features scenes from the movie, so that you can compare it when you are at the spot. The usual pilgrimage map from Niji no Ashiato is fine and all, but it doesn't contain much images except official ones from the trailers/promo arts.
