So, uh, maybe not the place to ask but, can anyone tell about Hibiki's story in the game?

This...vid...is not making any sense to me...

Although they seem to be talking about the IA Awards and being competitive...

[BT2]

Something like this I guess


Hibiki left home to realise her dream and decided to not return to or stay in touch with anyone from Okinawa before she does.

P learns that Hibiki is actually very lonely.

Hibiki slowly learns the value of friendship and bonds and she makes up with Alisa, an old friend back in Okinawa.

This...vid...is not making any sense to me...

Thus we're now here.

Touma heard Hibiki talking loudly in her phone in a nearby park and told P.
Hibiki's calling Alisa, blurting out stuff that shouldn't be known to the public yet and she does it with a loud voice so that anyone nearby could hear it, thus risking cancellation of the IA grand finale.
Tsundere Touma doesn't like that and leads P to Hibiki.
*Insert standard random angry Touma remarks towards Hibiki here*
Touma leaves.
Hibiki leaves to resume her call at home and she'll leave out unnecesary stuff and she'll be more quiet.


With the power of her bonds she defeats Jupiter eventually and everyone's happy.
P leaves for Hollywood, Hibiki decides she should go back to Okinawa for a while.
And.. BT2P didn't see the good ending and is stuck here.

Oh! So this is what's it's about? (Tsundere Touma is Tsundere, so cute! <3)

*Hopes for translation/subtitles for their discussion*

Hibiki needs to learn the power of friendship? O.o

And Touma's learning that too.

I'm really curious about Miki's story, personally.

So since Takane gives no mention of Project Fairy, does that mean that SP is non-canon? But you can get the Project Fairy outfits. Huh.

Oh yeah, I forgot to write up Miki's story. Hers is really... one of the less interesting ones in the game though. I forgot most of the details (I'll give a more detailed summary over the weekend when I'm uploading Miki and Chihaya story clips; couldn't do it before because of Youtube's 15-minute clip restrictions... which they have just recently lifted for me), so here's the gist of it:

-Prior to beating RK, Miki's actions reveal that she has great respect for Ritsuko, and that she's actually a super earnest girl (despite appearing to be ever so lazy and always lacking sleep). She's been staying in the office till late to read all the latest music magazines to keep abreast of the industry and rivals units. Beating a strong rival like RK is her goal in being an idol. When you ask Miki what happens when Miki finally beats RK at a Fes, she says that she's never thought about it (you get to suggest here if she should retire, find a boyfriend, or... something else).

-After beating RK, Azusa (I think) commends Miki for working hard and being such a great leader, and mentions that she's always looked up to Ritsuko in that respect. Ritsuko was hearing about this for the first time, and Miki goes on to say that she was disappointed when Ritsuko didn't pick her to be a member of RK.

To that, Ritsuko responds that even though she's always recognised Miki's incredible latent abilities, she ultimately decided not to include Miki in RK because Miki appeared to never have taken her career as an idol seriously. This has now turned out to be a mistake that led to RK's defeat; but Ritsuko's happy to admit that.

-Week 21, you suddenly get called on your off day to go with Miki to some last-minute concert at a theme park where she'll perform the whole day. You told her to meet at 10.

On the day itself, Miki shows up late, and you wonder if she's confused about the time ("maybe she thought it's 10PM"). Just as you muttered that, Miki shows up with an -___- expression on her face. "Producer, as klutzy as I may sometimes be, there's no way I'd confuse a 10AM meeting time for 10PM, especially not on my last day of work!" You ask her what she means by "last day of work", but she dodges the question.

After the day's activities, she explains to you that today's her last performance as an idol, and that she's resigned from 765Pro. President Takagi and Kotori knows about it; which is why you guys are here on an off day for one last performance. You ask Miki why she's quitting. She has no good reason to quit. But she also has no good reason to carry on, now that she's met her goal of being an idol - beat RK. You try and dissuade her by asking her if she's really okay with leaving the unit like that; heck, the whole unit might get disbanded just like that, but it doesn't work. She says that she's given some thought to what she wants to do next, after beating RK, and her reply is something like "to find love" or something like that (I can't remember).

... A little vague on the details, but in the end Miki asks if you will still like her if she stops being an idol and just sleeps and *something else* everyday. Producer says "of course, I like you regardless of if you're an idol too, or if you just rest and *something else* everyday". Miki thinks for a bit at this point. "So if I just sleep everyday, *something else* everyday, and still carry on being an idol everyday, does that mean you will like Miki three times as much?"

I forgot what the Producer said in response to that ridiculous statement, but Miki tops herself by going "okay! Then it's decided, I will resign from resigning/quit quitting! (In other words she'll continue to be an idol)"

-After that event, there were a number of story events where basically Miki hints that you're not her bitch boyfriend. She calls you Honey all the time, and sometimes does lovey-dovey things like ask you out to accompany her on a date. Because you're afraid Miki will quit if you choose to not go along with it, you decide to play along.

-Week 53, just before you take on Jupiter, Miki takes you to the theme park at night. It's the same theme park where Miki told you she was gonna resign, but then decided to resign from resigning. She gives the signal to Azusa and Ritsuko, and all the lights in the theme park come on. It's super romantic, and Miki reveals that after beating RK, her new goal was basically to woo you... for reasons I don't quite remember.

Also, Ritsuko says that even though she had to pull a few strings to book the theme park at night and stuff, all the costs for booking and everything you will have to bear.

-Ending: Miki realises that recently she's been feeling nervous everytime she goes on stage (this realisation is actually depicted in an earlier communication event; I can't remember when, but basically you explain that the nervousness is probably due to her excitement to go on stage and give a good performance), and that she feels the best when she's giving her best performance to her fans. So she decides to carry on being an idol, even though you've just come from owning the Idol Academy awards.

Then there's talk about you leaving for Hollywood. She asks if you can take her there, as your wife or girlfriend or something. You tell her that you can't, since it's supposed to be something like an apprenticeship, and all the expenses are paid for by IAU. They can't possibly pay for Miki to be there and stuff.

In the end she sort of agrees to behave, and suggests something akin to a long-distance relationship with trips to visit you as often as she can (I think, a little fuzzy on the details).

-True Ending, right after seeing you off at the airport, as the three girls look up at the plane you're on, Miki makes a cryptic statement ("Okay, now it's time to go make my arrangements...") before walking off.

Credits play.

After the credits end, you arrive in Hollywood, and take a good look around. You think to yourself: "now that I'm in the US, I wonder how it's like... probably wouldn't be weird to run into a blonde here, huh? Oh, in fact there's a blondie right over there! Ah... she reminds me of Miki."

As you approach the blonde, she turns around and, lo and behold, it's actually Miki!

Miki explains that right after you left for Hollywood, she took the next flight out, and somehow made it to the airport before your flight arrived. She had been looking all over for you, but as it turns out your flight landed later than hers.

She tells you to go to a furniture shop with her so that you can start picking out pieces for where the both of you will be living together... forcibly.

In the end, since Miki's here, you decided that you might as well produce her as an idol here while you're learning the ropes to Hollywood.

The End.

Note: I probably won't be subbing the story events when I upload them, unless a specific idol's story turns out to be super popular or something. But I will be subbing all the Jupiter clips I've uploaded this weekend. They've turned out to be pretty popular.

Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank You!

I'd appreciate it!

Anyone got a vid/summary of Yayoi's story, or even just the true end? Only managed a good end with Yayoi >.<

I'm with you here!

What's the story between her and Shouta?



Can someone please explain it to me?!

I second this. I just got done playing through Yayoi's story. It seems she gets along with Shouta pretty well (though, Iori didn't seem to like him too much XD). I wish I had payed more attention to when the story events actually happen, I would've recorded it.

Yes! You should've done that!

[TweenDoriru]

Well, I can always re-play a game with Yayoi and record them XD Provided someone with an actual HD/good-quality recorder isn't going to do it.

(not to mention I can't translate it at all XDD)

There!

You know what, I'm kinda curious about Yayoi's story too. I'm going to stay over at a friend's tonight, but I can't wait to do her story and upload the clips tomorrow (it's the weekend yay!) with story summaries (translation would kill me, I think; too much text).

EDIT: Can't see the screenshot too clearly but I think it says

"Why (are we here)? Because 961Pro also received an invitation, that's why.
Thanks for the invite!"

I wonder what the invitation is?


(Even Touma is curious...XD)

(Wait a minute...765Pro invited 961Pro? UMAD?!?!)
