Thanks, guys!! :') My heart was beating so fast when I saw the UR envelope haha. I'm SO having rice for dinner to celebrate. I have a few other URs, including idolized Cool Hanayo, my #1 treasure so far. The idolized version of this Smile UR is one of my all-time favorites, so finally being one step closer is really exciting~

Approximately $583985320948 later... The Rice Goddess has answered my prayers. ;_; I think I'll wait for the next Printemps scouting to try and idolize her... *burns wallet already*

Just kill me already. I exceeded my phone billing limit, so I'm contemplating on whether I should go out and buy Google Play credit or not. Having a store a couple hundred meters away from where I live is incredibly dangerous for my wallet.

Got SR Nico from one of my two scouting tickets. Currently doing 10+1s for the new Hanayo and they've been...devastating so far. At least my worst nightmare, aka the I'll Catch You Next Maki, hasn't shown up yet. (What are the odds it'll happen right after I send this post? ) EDIT: ...Yep.

Screenshots sent. Winning would be a fantastic birthday gift (slightly early) especially with the new Hanayo UR coming out, but admittedly I've spent more than enough to have a good amount of URs and SRs already, so I won't be devastated if I don't win. Just very bitter if the winner is blessed with Rice. Good luck to everyone! I really hope whoever wins gets their best girl~

Let's see who Fuwa's top idols are~ 1. Hanayo 2. Kotori 3. Honoka Other than my least favorite, the order after that seems to change depending on my mood, but I'd say 4. Eli and 5. Umi right now.

But it is French, so just apply your knowledge to your katakana guesses! The general rule is that they try to emulate the original pronunciation and then horribly fail at it. Neither the n nor the m are really pronounced, so not a single one of those ways to spell it makes sense, to be honest. The ン in my suggestion of プラーントー isn't really meant to be the n in Prin, but more like a short break to indicate that Prin is the first syllable and temps the second. Ah well, it doesn't change the fact that they use プランタン and we have to deal with it, haha. It'd be so much less cringe-worthy if they'd just called the sub-unit 春-something, but we'll never see the day Japan gives up on their fancy foreign naming. But thank God for Engrish and whatever terrible mash-ups of Japanese and other languages are called, wouldn't want to live without kyuuthi pansaa, sunoo haleeshoo and lissun tuu mai haat.

Cloudy, I'll forgive you, I'm not very active in this thread after all. Nah, プランタン is still incredibly broken, but プリンテンプス would be plain wrong. If they went for a more accurate pronunciation it'd probably be more like プラーントー, but that's just making things unnecessary complicated for a country that simply doesn't cope well with foreign languages in general. Both プランタン and プリンタン seem to be what's considered correct over there.

I'm kinda late to the party, but welcome, Dizzy! Always good to have more people around. (Are female SIF players really that much of a minority? lol Never thought about it until you guys mentioned it all of a sudden.) If anyone's interested, here's my School Idol Tomodachi profile. I think I added all my cards excluding duplicates; I'll check again some other time. Can't play the current event much due to lack of free time, as usual, but I'm loving these EX songs. Not just because Listen to my heart!! is in it or anything. Still haven't FC'd Susume -> Tomorrow, but it's tons of fun.

Ezee, I'm starting to feel like countless repeat Maki SRs are a curse that somehow only affects German players. I wonder what we did to deserve it. (I mean, I love Maki and all, but I'd rather get a bunch of other SRs for once.) Congrats on your UR Umi though! 06/13, huh... Too bad I won't be able to go watch it. Guess I'll be waiting for Blu-Rays myself.

I have like two billion copies of this particular Maki SR. In the 6 10+1 draws I did today, hoping to get the new Hanayo, I got another three of those Maki's. I wanted to cry, seriously. RNGesus is cruel. Just give those Maki's to someone who still needs them! In much better news, I got the new Valentine's Honoka and Umi (idolized) and also a Pure UR Nozomi from my first scouting ticket (second ticket gave me an R Nozomi). The spiritual power is strong today. That pure UR Nozomi is my second idolized UR, but I ran out of fodder and gold to get her to a decent level, haha. Told myself not to spend money on Love Gems this time, but eh... getting paid is always dangerous lol

Nice draws, everyone! I gave in as well, hoping for the new Hanayo SR, but of course, nothing. Guess I'll have to rely on Printemps scouting again sometime I did get that Honoka UR though, and I now have a Nozomi UR for each attribute. I don't know why, but apparently she loves me. After today's 10+1s, URs don't even seem that rare to me anymore. But the Hanayos I need want? 0.0000000001% appearance rate for me right there. Instead, RNG keeps throwing repeat SRs at me... ouch. Speaking of Nozomi, looking forward to the next event on EN because Binetsu kara Mystery is one of my favorite songs.

Speaking of diehard devoted fanatics, I really wasn't going to scout until new Hanayo SRs/URs are out, but who am I kidding, I can't resist limited Printemps scouting. The result of an embarrassing amount of money spent... Idolized 2 Hanayo SRs, including the one from the most recent Hanayo event. RNGesus may not always bless me, but I do tend to get more event SRs from scouting than other people. And what else...? My first idolized UR. And one of my favorite cards ever. As long as I don't think about the money behind it, I'm happy. Special thanks to Praeliator for wishing me luck and, apparently, carefully watching my progress on mass scouting. Your messages made my day along with this UR, lol. Also, please take a look at the wonderful Christmas gift I got from a friend~~

Congrats, Ceris! I have yet to get S clear on any song... As for my favorite N, it's gotta be Minami. I usually turn all my Ns into EXP, but this one's staying with me. <3

I usually don't like swimsuit figures all that much, but these are incredibly adorable. I'm so tempted, but I already pre-ordered the Sore wa bokutachi no kiseki nendoroid petites (and did way too many 10+1 draws), so I'll probably hold back for now. Speaking of those nendoroids though, I won't keep all of them so expect a few contests or giveaways of some sorts in 2015. I'm in the middle of a few more 10+1s, but I'm so excited I can't help but post this one thing that has restored my faith in RNGesus. My dream of Hanayo UR has finally come true My current favorite, too!

Because I simply prefer hearing Hanayo's voice before/after a song If there was a reason for me to aim for more points (like Score Match or getting S rank) or if the current event live was a Smile song, I'd probably use my UR instead.

Welcome back, Yeokso! I've been gone myself for a while, but I still remember your avatar. Bokura no Live EX is back~ I FC'd it back then already, but I finally managed to get S score for it too. My Smile team has improved so much thanks to all those 10+1 draws I spammed. Now to get 40k+ for Pure and Cool too... Also brb crying over the current limited scouting and lack of money to spend on it. I know I'd regret it because I'd end up with 11 Rs anyway, but still... Hanayo and Maki.

Drew a commission for another 10+1 and... HANAYO!! Finally. As much as I love every Hanayo (wouldn't even mind repeats), we all know I reeeeeeally wanted this one. The idolized versions of the Nico and Eli I got are on my wants list as well, so I'm super happy with this draw. New event coming up, huh... Well, after miserably failing my last exam for 2014, I've got more than enough time to at least get the two SRs.

Hanayo's clothes in that collaboration are perfection. <3 I like the artwork more than the actual clothes though, otherwise I might have seriously considered getting that dress and coat. (At least until seeing how expensive they are, haha.) The outfits for lily white and BiBi aren't bad either. I like Maki's and Umi's~

Seeing everyone's screenshots makes me want to try harder in upcoming events. I feel like such a casual player all of a sudden. Also spammed some more 10+1 draws. As expected, nothing. My phone bill for this month is insane. So I tried to cheer up by drawing Hanayo... but I kinda missed the point. what did i do to deserve this rng-sama.png

So the Printemps Christmas SRs are finally here and I was determined to get at least one of them! Let's see what happened in those five 10+1 draws I did.
