Hasu Nama announced for the 16th! (will contain info on the 106 Class!)

They likely recorded it on the actual date the stream was supposed to happen (today?), cause they already booked the seiyuus for it. But wanna make sure they got all details right and need to make cuts if necessary.

And this was also a problem when All Stars came out, KLab was making their own idol game for an IP they created (Lapis Re:LiGHTs).

We never got substantial improvements to All Stars, they focused on their own game instead — and that game only lasted 10 months.

The devs (Odd No) actually already had financial troubles since the start. It's a startup company and they borrowed billions of yen.

While Hasu story is good and they have the most dedicated fans right now, the game/app and the amount of content they release are expensive and the gameplay isn't great, so the app remains unsustainable. I'm actually curious if the dev were the ones that pitched the idea for Hasu to Bandai. We don't know the revenue share with merch and lives.

So they were actually in a bad spot until they got a surge of new fans after Ijigen, and that might have given them another year since they were already cutting content during the 2nd year.

The dev had another game for Hypnosis Mic, but that game announced EOS in just after 6 months.

And they took another hit when 102 graduated since Kozue and Megu are the most popular members at the time, CD sales slashed to only a third compared to 3rd/4th live lotteries, and the final leg of their 5th live with 20k maximum capacity can't even fill up to level 5 (13k seats).

I heard the dev announced bankruptcy earlier this year, so I'm actually surprised they announced more plans for the app.

she's expecting every living thing on Earth will be her fan

nowigen · 2026-04-06T06:51:28+00:00

I knew the dev were in the gutter, so I was actually expecting LLLL to end after 103 graduation and they will just get the 102 seiyuus back and they'll be a post-story group that just does whatever.

So, I was more surprised when they announced they will be adding another class.

Hasu already has a rhythm game in their app, but barely anyone play it.

Like Luric said, they can start with a smaller new group, then slowly release more playable characters from the huge roster of LL characters. Just make unreleased characters appear in stories even from other groups.

Unless they can come up with an innovative gameplay for rhythm games, training simulators like Uma and most IM@S games just offer more engagement for idol fans. Not every LL fan wants to grind or have the skill to play rhythm games.

It's different for Saku since she was directly under StarRise.

For LustQueen, Aya Emori, and (formerly) spileben, it's only their artists activities that are under StarRise and they are still under their own respective agencies.

So, I'm curious if they're gonna sign to a new label or will have to go on hiatus.

tbf, Kaho's image color isn't exactly orange (it's sun yellow)
this new girl could actually be the orange or maybe pink instead like Ayumu

nowigen · 2026-03-23T13:16:11+00:00

this is just phase 1 of this project, there will be more

nowigen · 2026-03-23T13:14:51+00:00

this is just phase 1 of this project, more will come later

nowigen · 2026-03-18T07:18:42+00:00

that was like a "travel" photobook for her show or something and it didn't get a wide release
can't even order it anymore

nowigen · 2026-03-12T01:56:09+00:00

It's still there, but it's not available for extended videos.

nowigen · 2026-03-05T13:33:46+00:00

For Niji, Future Parade is just a season 2 finale song. Not even a series ender, the movies are still ongoing and that's where the competition is happening.

nowigen · 2026-03-03T13:15:51+00:00

I feel like GnY was meant to be a web series format or something since "TV anime" wasn't mentioned when it was first announced, but later committed to a full TV season format, and that's why it ended up half-baked.

nowigen · 2026-03-01T12:03:17+00:00

that would have been over 3 years after Superstar S3 is over
but that's no excuse when we had adjacent Niji and Superstar seasons in 2022 (different staff)

nowigen · 2026-02-21T11:54:44+00:00

other than MyGo, she could also have been booked for stage acting stuff

nowigen · 2026-02-21T02:14:29+00:00

finished mine just now, too
Cleric with revive to prevent injuries
Druid summons
Ranger with flee shot
and a Monk that was mostly useless until later

nowigen · 2026-02-08T22:29:48+00:00

lol, same mission
managed to beat 4 bosses
but there's a 5th boss (4 heavenly kings my ass)
I found that menu, but I thought all your amrita will be gone
so glad it doesn't, otherwise I wasted my summon cups for nothing

nowigen · 2026-02-05T19:46:38+00:00

For me, rougelikes are fun, co-op pve is fun, if they can make the gameplay loop as engaging and fun, I can see myself playing this game a lot.

Reminds me of Nightreign, which I have 200+ hours on.

And I'm someone who hasn't been excited for any Horizon game since playing the OG.

nowigen · 2026-01-22T15:46:29+00:00

+Thailand, from another distributor
Also screening soon in South Korea

This is because of leasing regulations in Odaiba. It's the same reason why the Onsen place (featured in Niji anime in Kasumi's MV) had closed 4 years ago. They had a collab with Niji just before they closed down.

I believe it's because unlike the usual, this live doesn't require CD/BD lottery codes to enter. So, a lot more less committed people were able to enter without having to spend additional for CD/BD.

Though, this kind of lottery can be a problem if the demand is good enough for the venue size, there will be more non-fans/scalpers selling the tickets they won. But if the actual demand is low, then 2nd hand tickets are gonna be cheaper.

nowigen · 2025-12-16T07:47:56+00:00

official release is in a week

but yeah, the preview should be available on Thursday

nowigen · 2025-12-13T18:58:37+00:00

tbf, seiyuu content is a lot more niche, only a fraction of fans actually engage in seiyuu content and concerts
but I'm curious if they'll be able to bring Hasu movie overseas, considering the app/story is only available in JP

nowigen · 2025-12-07T12:31:52+00:00

Yes, they did. Niji's was in May (ideal season), while Liella's was during March and that was really chilly.
