Idolmaster Cinderella Girls

[antsk]

Mirei overload of cuteness...~! I just started about a week ago and i'm finding it difficult to keep up with some of the events. The current production live is pretty tough because I don't really have any good cards but luckily somebody invited me into their production so I leech a little bit. Do you have any advice for a new player? And how easy was it to get verified? ( really sucks not being able to access a lot of stuff     )

Well production match event sucks since its the only event that requires only energy while you want to be putting all stats into stamina (like literally everything, not a single point to anything else) because 95% of the time you will need stamina for all the events. Also no idols have multiplied their scores so its just raw power.

From the other standard tips - do regular work to increase your stamina cap, lot of the early stages are 1/2 stamina cost so you get lot of fans and xp for low amounts of stamina and thats good. You will also get stamina and energy drinks from PRA since you will gain lot of fans (those ones that are NOT "my" - those are used to trade for idols) so once you get verified you can quickly buy fairly good setup of cheap SR+ that will be good as base for most events.

And well the main tip - get some friend in Japan to verify your account because without trading its really difficult to do anything at all.

As for mobacoin transactions, usually the cheapest ones or like step1 are the best value, there is like 50mc (so like 50 cents) for 2 drinks and dream draw, 100 for 5 drinks and draw, 200 for few drinks but 2 dream draws in that specific one which often mean more drinks. There is lot of good deals for MC. But well you need to be verified to be able to trade those drinks for idols so yeah, prioritize that. Until then just focus on work and building your my-drink inventory and producer level and stats.

The previous talk battle was pretty easy. I was able to get a S rare aki and rare  itsuki + natsuki. I already do most of what you mentioned. I'll just dump all stam from here on . I have like 225/107/77. No friend in japan though  . Thanks for the pointers!

Ok, this could be probably a dumb question, but now that 8th batch of CD debuts will come next month, who do you think will be the idols to debut in the 9th batch?

My predictions are these:
Yumi Aiba (she ranked high in the Cinderella Girls Election, and it would be a dumb move from Namco to ignore her)
Yui Ohtsuki (she was part of Project Krone and gained some popularity, plus she also ranked well in the Cinderella Girls election)
Haruna Kamijo (she had a small role in the anime, and I suspect she will have a debut because it seems that she has a solo of Onegai Cinderella in Starlight Stage).
Kyoko Igarashi (this is a personal for me xdd. She is pretty popular by many fans and it would be cool to have Pinky Cute unit complete ^^)
Yuka Nanako/Rina Fujimoto (I'm not sure which one of them could earn a CD debut xdd, but I would prefer Yuka than Rina)

So, what's your opinion? Who do you think will be the next five idols to earn a CD debut? When do you think that the 9th batch will be released?

Thanks for reading and have a cool day ^^

My predictions:

Takumi and Yumi, since it'd be kind of silly to not give some election winners their CDs... Natsuki will probably wait, sadly. She got a solo in the anime and that should be enough...
Haruna for Cool... The rest of the other anime-voiced Cool girls have never been super popular. Or they could be completely random and do Asuka.
Yukari is my gut feeling for the cute pick, to balance it out. She'd probably get a slow ballad where the others would get faster songs. Noriko would add a cute fast paced song to the lineup, so it would end up pretty balanced.

Momoka and Shiki's previews for their songs are out!

Momoka's song La Vie en Rose

Shiki's song Himitsu no Toilette
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm27469756

This is the best song I've ever heard that has the word "Toilette".

[monomarquis]

This is the best song I've ever heard that has the word "Toilette".

i literally thought that this song was about an actual toilet but i googled toilette and it means "the process washing oneself, dressing, and attending to one's appearance" so it made more sense

[Maka]

Yayoi already has the "song about toilets" covered. Granted, it is a cover, and it's less about toilets than a girl's relationship with her grandma, but the title still made me do a double take But, honestly, the song's title made me go "huh?", but my mind went to "Eau de Toilette" since Shiki has a scent obsession.

Shiki's song is a LOT different than I expected. In fact, it's closer to what I expected from Momoka... Whose song is a lot more "normal" than expected. Hm.

[monomarquis]

I like Shiki's song it's makes me wanna dance. Granted I expected her song to sound more crazy/ have a mad scientist vibe lol.
I like Momoka's song but it's pretty normal/ nothing that grand. I expected something like the beginning of Iori's song Chikyuu Mirror Ball for her. With how ~fancy~ the title of her song is I wanted a princess feel. Maybe a cutesy waltz would have been cooler since La Vie en Rose sounds like songs I've heard before.

i will certainly most likely like the songs in this batch than in the last one.

(1st post - hey everyone! )

Hmm, though both of those previews sound pretty nice I think I prefer Shiki's song. I also thought she'd have a bit more of an energetic song but it still suits her pretty well and is catchy too. Momoka's song is ok but just a bit plain haha.

Excited to hear the rest of the songs now though!

Welcome to the forums Alex.^

I rather wait for the actual previews (and full versions later on) on Youtube/Niconico because the sound quality is too bleh to judge fairly.

Thanks! I thought the quality wasn't great but glad I'm not the only one lmao. How long before the release of the singles do they usually release the previews?

[ChocoCats]

As far I know, the previews should be here this Friday at my time zone. The CDs themselves are coming on November 18th, which is 3 weeks from here.
