    Okay, I took the time to reply to the whole "no yuri in Love Live" stuff. I went and analyzed all the songs of each member that are their solo or center of in their subunit (meaning it's their song). I discluded the anime a lot, mainly stuck to just songs. I also mixed my own theories in sometimes for how songs are related, such as sequels in subunits or other. These are my findings (I was all over the place, so bare with some incoherency below, and bless you if you actually read this wall of text)
     
    Nozomi and Eli. The biggest example in all of this is the song Glass no Hanazono. The song literally sings about yuri, and is a duet for Nozomi and Eli (well, that's undeniable there already lol).  Nozomi's solo, Junai Lens has a "he/boyfriend" kanji when speaking to someone else she's supporting. Eli's solo song, Arifureta Kanashimi no Hate sings about rejection/a breakup (ambiguous in the song). What isn't ambiguous is the song Eli is center for in BiBi, Natsu, Owaranai de. In this song, she's singing about a breakup in a more calm manner. And then who do you rely on when your relationship failed in the first place? The one who helped you initially because "they understand". Nozomi is counseling Eli after her bad experience. And it's not uncommon for you to fall in love with the person who's supporting you... So, because of how blatant Glass no Hanazono is, I'm making a theory instead of using proof in my analysis of song lyrics.(since all that was theory beyond Glass no Hanazono anyway)

    Arifureta Kanashimi no Hate(Eli Solo)



     
    Natsu, Owaranai De.



    Glass no Hanazono



     
     
    Rin and Hanayo, this one is more complicated as their story is thrown over a ton of songs. The next example song wise is Hanayo's song, Kodoku na Heaven, where sings about unrequited love for a fellow classmate. The catch? She's in an all girls school. Next is Rin's solo, Koi no Shigunaru Rin rin rin, where Rin is conflicted and confused about loving someone she thinks she should just be friends with. Next, Rin has a song she's center for in Lily White, Kimi no Kuse ni, which is about being confused about being in love with a childhood friend, again, a girl, Hanayo. Last, Love Marginal, that Hanayo is center of, just sings about unrequited love for a friend and is ambiguous in the song (more below) Combine both of Rin's songs, and compare it to Kodoku na Heaven, it seems Rin sends mixed messages to Hanayo and Hanayo doesn't know how to proceed, which is responded to in the next Printemps album with the song Unbalanced Love, which Hanayo is the center of, which is another one where Hanayo believes it could possibly be one way love and sees the messages she's receiving as lies. More recently, Hanayo had her solo, Nawatobi, a happy song (for once) where she's thanking her childhood friend who she loves for all they have done for her. Also, Lily White had another song with Rin as center called Onaji Hoshi ga Mitai where Rin accepts her feelings she has for the person in the previous song.
     
    Lastly, a note about Love Marginal. I'm not sure who's in charge of making the artwork for the cards and such in SIF, but Love Marginal's setting is on a train next to the windows. Guess who has a pair of cards that are both on a train? Rin and Hanayo.

    NicoMaki isn't just a song relation (that intro to Magnetic Today though...), they are even blatant in the anime. I'm talking a scene in S2E1. Nico and Maki are out together, in casual clothes, Nico is even dressed up, and we can assume it's really late because everyone else is at home and in Pajamas. You can't dismiss this is nothing xD.



     
    Nosebleed can cover Nicomaki better than I can, and I'm going to ignore all the subtle queues in the anime, because  that's all they are.
     
    Okay, song time.First case, Mogyutto PV, Maki gives chocolates to Nico, no one else gives chocolates to each other. Darling, Maki's solo, doesn't have any meaning other than her admitting her tsundereness. Nico doesn't even have love song solos, so that's out of the question. Serious, I get the chemistry between Nico and Maki, but there wasn't that much supporting evidence. Love Novels from BiBi with Nico as center is vague, just talks about unrequited love and a "notice me dumbass" tone. Throwing theory in, considering NicoMaki, Nico's confused about Maki's seemingly not paying attention because of her tsundereness hiding it. Diamond Princess kinda supports that when Maki singing about herself being like that.
     
    But then, everything comes together with Zurui yo Magnetic Today (SIF song when!!!!!), the duet between Nico and Maki. Again, this is a specific duet with purpose. The song is literally just them bickering with each other like they always do, and them pretty much saying they have a great amount of interest in each other, always looking at each other. While things are spelt out perfectly in Nico or Maki's case about liking another girl, it's as much as a love song in duet form as you can get between two people who can't be honest. Honestly is the weakest two out of the six I covered so far, they just don't have examples in song form.
     
    Song Lyrics



     
    Kotori, Honoka, and Umi ... I've got nothing but theory on these three. There's a non-specific line between one of Umi's solos and Honoka's solo. Someday of my Life, Honoka sings about being apart from the one she loves, and Umi has a line that says "No need to say "I'll definitely come back". But that's just theory. Anemone Heart sounds like Kotori and Umi love the same person, but no hint as to who that may be. Honoka in Yume naki Yume wa Yume Janai is cheering on someone from their school who's training hard, but not a love song this time... Honoka's Ai wa Taiyou Janai song gives no context besides a love song, There's Storm in Lover, but duets are too vague as to whom the intended target is. Kotori has both Kokuhaku and Suki desu ga, Suki desu ka with Hanayo, but Kokuhaku is clearly them collaborating, and the latter is vague, but should follow the same idea. Kotori center Printemps Songs are vague or not even love songs. Umi doesn't have love songs in Lily White...
     
    I bow in defeat, there's no song relation here.
     
    I typed all this, which took hours going through all the songs, all instead of typing a paper due tomorrow, go me It started strong, and I was able to prove at least 4 definitely like another girl, and one iffy proof for Nico and Maki, so yay?
     
    Maybe next time I'll make a long post purely about song relations (like Kokuhaku with Blueberry Train and Kodoku na Heaven)
     
     
    And with this, I'm going to spend my LP and start that essay

    New recognition team lead
    I had a ton of applications for the recognition team lead, and so many of them were absolutely qualified for this job. I'd like to thank all of the applicants for being brave and stepping up to volunteer. I'm pleased to say that Rose will be heading up the team, and we'll be putting out a call for other team members soon.
     
     
    Marie gets another job
    Marie has been enlisted as the Minority Opinion Officer of Truth and Justice (did we ever come up with a title for you?) (title is a WIP) in the LC. His job is pretty simple: if people in the LC feel their voice is not being heard or appreciated, they can come to him and he and I will have a powwow to go over their input before making a critical site decision (though in the case of an emergency or time constraint, we'll do what we need to do and get together afterwards).

    Ren has agreed to help me run the LC discussions and keep track of some of the projects around the site. He'll make sure we get project reports and talk about important things in a timely manner. I can't remember if we gave this a title yet (early on it was called speaker of the house, but that's lame). A title will come soon.

    nohman has decided to retire from the FuwaReviews team. His reviews are some of the most popular on the new site, and I'd like to thank him for doing a great job.

    Well, there it is. My very 1st post on Fuwanovel, complete with my original avatar of Emi from Katawa Shoujo and a date and time in the bar at the top. Man, what a trip it was finding that. Did you know that Nosebleed didn't even have 1,500 posts at that time? 1,449 to be exact. Looking back, there are so many things I could bring up, and each of them has a special nostalgic moment in my heart. The day I met Mephisto and we began streaming Cocoro@Function!, the day I asked solidbatman if I could take over the podcast, my very 1st giveaway for a copy of Grisaia no Rakuen, all of it brings back so many memories.
     
    Did you know I originally joined Fuwanovel in Steve's TeamSpeak? It was there that I met Mephisto. I remember talking about the Hoshizora translation with him, and after discussing how to say the words "third eye" in Japanese, some things led to another and we began a live TL stream of the game Cocoro@Function! I still remember that day. Crappy internet, crappy overlay, crappy everything. Take a listen for about 1:40 seconds:
     
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ivNNDDfsj5aE1OQU8yWWFwdU0/view?usp=sharing
     
    Ah, the memories. We streamed, and it was something that made me realize how awesome being apart of this community was. While our TL wasn't the greatest, I will never forget those moments as I continue moving on in the world. Because of that stream, I met so many awesome people, like The Major, Zakamutt, who I began a stream of Dracu-riot! with. I met zoom909, and live TLs became a new thing for me. I started a YouTube channel, got my original Hitbox channel shutdown for hentai (cheers mate), and had the Pulltop yakuza come after me for a bunch of copyright infringements. Those memories, no, those moments will always be apart of my life and they mean the world to me.
     
    And then came the podcast. Tay wanted to start it, and he did. I remember volunteering for the 2nd episode and meeting a whole new crew of people. After that, I asked solidbatman if he would be interested in letting me take over the cast, and with that, my reputation started kicking off.
     
    My 1st giveaway, my games, my activities, it all went up from there. I started a TeamSpeak and made good friends with members I will remember for the rest of my life. I fell in love with Love Live thanks to Ceris and Nosebleed. I met Down and Rose in real life in Japan. Dare I say that I enjoyed talking about Milky Holmes because it meant being able to hang out with such awesome people? Those moments will never die for me. They say that money doesn't buy happiness, but the way I see it, that statement is false. The gifts I have given, the hearts I have made smile, the friends I have made who aren't ashamed about who I am and what I love, that's what true happiness is. Making those people happy makes me happy, and that's what matters the most in my life.
     
    Thanks Fuwanovel, for a (belated) great year on the site. Thanks for letting me look back and remember such good memories. I'm sorry this post is so late, but it really does mean the world to me that you are such amazing individuals. That being said, there is only 1 song I can think of that makes this moment fleeting:
     
     
    Thanks again everyone!

    Anything will play the game, and since that is the only reason you brought up for buying it I don't have many specifics for suggestions.
    Anyone who uses both android and IOS, as I do, will tell you Android > IOS. If they're in your price range, tablets with proper windows on them would be best (Though I don't know if this game you're wanting is available on windows).
     
    The main reason you would have for getting more expensive tablet models is higher res/more power. If you're wanting higher to play 3d games or demanding applications you'll need a more expensive tablet. If you'll be wanting to watch higher-res videos on the tablet, then you'll need to shell out for a high res tablet. Otherwise, if all you are wanting to do with the tablet is play games like this one, surf the web, ect. then there isn't much reason why you shouldn't buy a cheap android tablet in whatever size you are wanting
     
    .I own a Galaxy Note 10.1 and the main reason you'd have for getting it over cheaper models is the fact that it has a pen digitizer, which lets you do some low-res doodling with pressure support.

    Both devices should run the game smoothl,y but it'll be up to you what specs you are satisified with for the price (screen resolution, processor, memory, etc...)

    If you get a PM about this or another mentorship program, just ignore it. It's not coming from us even if it says otherwise, and the guy making accounts and sending these PMs en masse is a really odd duck (who in the past has tried similarly successful and odd ploys, such as contacting mods and staff to ouster me, appoint him leader, and rule fuwa in accordance with the United States' constitution).

    I've received several applications so far, and I'll keep trying to get more before we start. Thanks again for volunteering!
