Two hyper modes down, nine to go. It's probably not the best way to play the game, but at least it gives me a challenge.

The irony of the matter is that even though Miki's run was the least prepared of it (I had money, that's it) Haruka's required more nailbiting to correctly run.

In this case, it was the fact that Ready!! simply refused to break until 3 weeks out from the end of the game (Even though I was applying about 8 weeks of breaks on it!), meaning it didn't clear from 1.6 million to first place until week 53, and didn't get enough to S rank me out of the music sales catergory until week 54(!)

This also required me to alter week 53's national happiness metre with a last ditch paid promotion to turn 150k people from not excited to really excited, but had to get image level 16 on week 53.

It also had an issue where I couldn't get the voltage reporter until week 50 to score 70000+ until week 51, and that I didn't get a break or superbreak the ENTIRE game (and that was with me trying).

The timings were ludricously tight, (I had no time to spare at all, due to the last minute ditch attempt to get over the line) but I did notice that their happiness basically went from normal to the stratsophere. Nothing could upset them after week 22 or so.

The really amusing part? I'm playing with the stock items I used in my Miki run. I still haven't had a chance to go shopping, and now I have 900k in my bank. Amusingly, 90% of my wardrobe and accessories are unlocks given via RK's episode, initial layout, or unlocks via completing storylines (Mami in normal, Miki in Hyper and Haruka in Hyper.)

About 2/3 the charm grid's now unlocked though, and with it about 30-32 of the stages.

I think I'll be taking my time to play through the game slower though, so I imagine that a lot of people will be upset since I can't really fill a lot of the PS3 requests yet though. I haven't really had much opportunity to actually play the game in the last few weeks (with one of the reasons, ironically, the compendium itself).

Here is my amusing "Why playing video games can also equal studying" post for you all....

Today I took the Japanese Language Proficiency Test aka the JLPT.  It was just for fun really.  I passed level 1 a few years back but they revamped it and now the highest version is called N1 and supposedly more difficult than the old level 1.  I think it's about the same (some parts easier, some parts way harder...) now that I've taken it. 

Anyhoo, one of the "how do you read this kanji?" questions had me a little stumped... I knew the meaning but not the reading.  Test continues and the same word pops up in the reading comprehension portion.... Once again my mind was thinking "I know this word... I've seen it before..." and THE IDOLM@STER popped into my head.  Yes, our beloved classic theme song.  The word appears in the song and I know the meaning of the song not to mention I can sing along with it so.... I went back, changed my answer, and got one more correct for my test. ;) 

I think I'll celebrate with some S4U.

So what was the word?  :o

So ends the third of the Hyper runs I'm doing...

The archive on justin.tv (see the signature) has all 15 hours recorded, and see the below link for the final report card.

So what happened? Long story short, Hibiki declares dominion over Japan after tagteaming with Chihaya and Makoto and after a little struggle, Japan yields and hails its new divas.

And I literally mean dominion. No prisoners taken, at all. She came, she saw, and she got her way, one way or the other.

She completely and utterly cleaned house - She claimed a top 20 by song 3, claimed her first IA regional in week 24 (!), took out THREE IA awards by week 41 (the nomination) and forced all Jupiter songs to appear before the open (If you rush your songs fast enough, they'll appear on the charts at their starting sales numbers but won't move until they're supposed to appear), claimed Xillia by week 44, and took out Vesperia (well, they call it something else now) in week 50, before claiming the last IA to complete the true ending by week 51.

She walked away with a million fans, and had a 4.3 million number 1. She also managed to cost the producer about 400k (draining the account from that to zero!) before deciding to make the money to replace it and then some.

She also took out the Tokyo region IA (even though that's not required) in week 53. Goes to show it IS possible to clean sweep, although it's incredibly hard on the timings.

All I have to say is this - it was the longest 15 hours I've ever pulled (It was a non stop run.) although it was probably worth it just to prove the point. It did require replaying a few events since everything had to be planned and had to work. It isn't worth winning every little thing, but a clean sweep is good.

@Setsuna: Wow, that's really good. I'm amazed.

Anyway, just started up my first playthrough. I love to think about crossovers, and so I decided to think of my playthrough as a crossover between iDOLM@STER 2 and Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault.

Name: AntareP (Was going for Antares, but that 6 character limit...)

"Looking up to the sky, I realize it's been a year since I was in Tokyo. Well, I wasn't really in Tokyo so much as over it.

I was part of a private military company called Martinez Security, under the M42 Antares Squadron. It was a good enough job after I had left the US Air Force; it paid good money and I could continue on flying. And then the Valahia Crisis happened. From what I could remember, a man named Andre Olivieri tried to make a killing on the US economy. His plan? Fund a terrorist organization, the Valahia, and let them attack major cities for their cause. His company then made insurance policies that would deal with the damage the Valahia made, and people fell for it. We stopped Valahia, only to find out that Olivieri had a backup plan: have his own private army attack San Francisco and reap the benefits once again.

Despite being chased by Olivieri's private army and having no support, we went after him. In the end, Olivieri was killed and the plan was stopped. As for me, I turned from just another squadron leader in a PMC to one of the world's best fighter aces, having destroyed countless numbers of materiel and men, including four planes over the skies of San Francisco that were miles better than even the F-22 I was using.

Tokyo was one of the first cities that was attacked by Valahia, and I can still remember sitting inside the cockpit of an F-15E, seeing the ominous black shapes of the airborne fortress Spiridus and its sister ship, the Orgoi. I remember having to dodge incoming anti-air missles and AA fire as I crippled the Spiridus and shot down the Orgoi. I remember when my allies, Rigel Squadron, turned into enemies over these skies, becoming the nightmare that would be Varcolac Squadron.

So why am I here in Tokyo rather than flying? Martinez Security had to cut jobs in order to save itself, and I was in the chopping block. Somehow, I managed to get a job as a manager for a studio in Hollywood. Okay work, but the commissions weren't coming in as fast as I wanted to. I was looking for something, and an opportunity came in the form of the boss needing someone that was willing to go to Tokyo for a year. The job entailed being a producer for a company called 765 Productions, as a way to train people to become producers back here in Hollywood.

And so, I took the job. And now I'm outside, looking at the sky, wondering how this job will go."

Still haven't picked who to produce yet, the unit name, and the songs. It's going to be a fun run.
