Hey you think you can provide me what fonts do you use for the sfx? I'm kinda interested in editing. Just the name of them it's okay.

Who better to dress as Tsubasa than the IRL Tsubasa herself?

It's a surprisingly well done costume, wonder if this will prompt more of A-RISE down the road. They even went to see the movie together so they must have a good relationship offscreen too.

>>1910690
That page has Carlisle (slipping) and Brushed (crash). Augie and Akbar are good general-purpose SFX fonts. They're too numerous to name all of them, I'll pick a new font or go find one on the Internet if I need to match text that looks a certain way.

Reposting for NicoMaki scan anon, do you have a choice of how the images are saved?

>>1912091
Are you referring to the file format of the provided raws, or the format in which the scanlation release is saved in?

The "standard" is PNG from what I understand, although if they are taking photos of the book on a phone camera it will likely be in a .jpg format.

Translator here.

I'm almost done translating the 3rd chapter and my god they make everything so difficult by using 必然 and 宿命 and 運命. And defining it. I was very liberal with choosing how to word their conversation but it feels like that'll fall flat with the third chapter being like this.

So, I just wanted to check in with typesetter anon working on chapter 1 about the translation of Nozomi and Maki's parts regarding those, do you think you can change some of them?

It's something really small, but I think would flow well by the time of the 3rd chapter. The ones between the /.../

That's pretty much it.

>>1912232
I mean the raws. I would indeed prefer they be PNG.

From the quality of the second set (and the apparent bleed-through), they must have been scanned, not photographed. So if the regular pages could be scanned to PNG that would be super awesome, color or grayscale doesn't really matter. Ideally even the cover/color pages would be PNG too, although that might make for an obnoxious file size on scanner anon's end so JPG is fine there.

>>1912313
Sounds good to me! I'm putting the finishing touches on now, might even have the thing done tonight.

Side note though, your page numbering for chapter 1 slips a couple off from the file names.

>>1913152
Sorry about that, there were duplicate pages and I just numbered the pages I translated, that must be why.

TOKYO MX will be airing a "special talk programme" on 5 December, 7:00-7:30pm JST.

Of particular note is that all nine members of μ’s have been announced to attend. Presumably it will be something similar to the year-end countdown talk programme which was shown last December.

I think you need a hug Anon.

Also I've said this once before. Love Live is a franchise where all pairings are valid thanks to their chemistry and they a lot of those have official works with them.

>>1917997
Umi does have the tendency to take charge (usually when she is annoyed) and can pretty much scare anyone when she does. Those who can can tap into her awkward side are usually the ones who can get her to do what they want (Honoka is good at this).

I do admit the tendency to portray Maki as the dom on a relationship ludicrous, since she is the supposed to be the designated awkward rich girl.

Into the trash

>>1918839
It's mere speculation. Kouhaku viewership has steadily dropped for years, μ’s appearances on NHK programs always see viewership spikes, hence the rumor. A number of speculative articles have suggested the possibility since 2014.

Anisong on Kouhaku, with the exception of Nana Mizuki, has had the tendency to receive a lukewarm reception. So it could be that μ’s appearances on mainstream media in the past couple of years were testing the waters to eventually culminate in going on Kouhaku; or if we look at it from the pessimistic end, the most they will venture because the Kouhaku audience may well just have a meh response to μ’s.

>>1918872
Kouhaku invite or no, NHK definitely knows the viewership power of μ’s because they are going to begin airing the first season of the anime.

Anon please, it's fine if you like that pairing, but Maki will never work with Rin, I don't know why people see Maki together with her. They don't interact that much in the SID, Manga, sif or the Anime, although I have to admit they have cute fanart but their doujins and fanfics are unbearable
>>1918853
I like their song, it's one of my favorites duets but that doesn't mean that I like that pairing romantically speaking

>>1919217
You do know that there aren't any canon pairings and that this is a "shipping" franchise, right? Stop getting butthurt because people like things that you don't like. Ignore and move on.

And before you get on it: No, I don't give a damn about any pairing involving Maki or Rin.

>>1919217
Look, I don't ship it either, but saying Rin and Maki "don't interact that much" is untrue.

In commemoration of SIF exceeding 20 million players worldwide, there is going to be a special livestream program, "Love Live! School Idol Festival Special ~ShanShan PARTYNIGHT~" on 27 November, Friday.

Emitsun, Kussun, and Soramaru (the same crew that went on the Google Play show) are hosting.

There's also a likelihood that they might discuss Kouhaku, since the Kouhaku nomination list comes out on Thursday. Let's wait and see.

What's the problem with Jolno's health?

>>1920111
Huh, I wonder if those are differences between the original version and the reprint? The first one could be an error but there's no way the scanner would have missed the second one and have the background fill unbroken like that.

Also, scanner anon, these file sizes would be a lot more manageable for you if they were grayscale PNGs, btw.

>>1920128
I dunno, the original pages given to us was from the camera shots and I believe anon just made it prettier for cleaning. I don't think we had any different versions. I did my translation based on the camera shots so when I checked the better one to check bubbles and stuff, I saw those two missing.

>>1920137
The pretty version is definitely scans, not clean-ups from the original phone shots. So I was thinking maybe the anon doing the scanning has a different version.

Anyway, if all the other bubbles are the same, it doesn't matter. Thanks for pointing those two out.

It's been months since it exceeded 20 million.

How high is the number now?

>>1920113 She took an arrow to the knee...

Is what she said on ASL2015, trying to make light of her condition.

Jokes aside, she has a condition with her knee which was diagnosed this year as chronic. Rehab helps, as does rest, but she's been sidelined because long travel (such as the Lantis Festival stops overseas) and dancing (which is, of course, a major part of μ's performances) are out, at least until she's recovered enough. During the Fan Meeting Tour, she sat out of the majority of the live acts, save I think for Garasu no Hanazono at Nagano, which was done with her seated.

She's repeatedly pointed out that she can still sing, and that was presumably why fripSide, who don't have many dance sequences in the first place, can go on tour.

Kisara himself has announced it. μ's are confirmed to be attending this year's Kouhaku.

From NHK Kouhaku official site

http://www.nhk.or.jp/kouhaku/artists/

I am so fuckin' happy for them. But still don't know if NanjoIno will join them tho.

>>1922556
>>1922558
Okay now we party.
Also Nanjo probably won't be attending, she has the fripside countdown concert.

>>1922559
It's still a possibility, if μ's go on early, such as opening the night with Music S.T.A.R.T!! Hamasaki Ayumi did it before, appearing on Kouhaku then immediately rushing to her own concert.

Might be too strenuous on Nanjolno though.

From the press conference.

>>1922561
She even wasn't at the press conference, that's more telling than anything.

>>1922563
She's probably at Hiroshima, all things considered.

Once the CVs start talking on Twitter/their own shows/Party Night we'll find out more eventually.

>>1922556
I still remember µ's small beginnings.

They've grown massively over the past 5 years to the point it's almost unbelievable.

To think that back in 2012 I was happy enough that Love Live would be getting an anime.

On that note, I suppose the next goal is either an Dome concert, international tour or getting both Aqours and µ's into Kouhaku.

>>1922556
I don't moonrune and twitter translation isn't helping, what's happening?

>>1922659
µ's was invited to perform at Kouhaku Uta Gassen, one of Japan's most viewed events where only the most succesfulls artisst of the year get an invite.

Oh well the majority vote has spoken.

Actually, is it just me or does this resemble μ's subgroups a little too much? The ChikaYouRuby in particular feels a little too much like Printemps.

>>1923089
Not just you. I also think that they resembled the subunits of μ's.

>>1923089
>>1923095
The CV chemistry might not be similar, however.

μ's:
Printemps characters: fluffy, sweet, tragic romance
Printemps CVs: Beer Girls Project will eat your food, their food, all the food

lily white characters: supportive siblings
lily white CVs: siblings who show their live by trolling each other massively

BiBi characters: chuuni, broken dreams, moodswingy
BiBi CVs: Nerd Squad, in need of leg insurance

Aqours units:???

>>1923108
And by "live" I was intending to type "love".

Kussun was in the VIP box at Rippi's first solo concert, for one.

>>1923109
I am not been a love live fan for long, can you give me example how they troll each other.

>>1923111
On one of the later Radio Garden episodes Kussun talked about how Mimorin took her Nozomi-purple eyeliner to doodle on Kussun's mole, presumably the one on her arm. The NHK special live last week also had one MC where Mimorin said the "Takeshi", which is what they dubbed the move in Yume no Tobira that Soramaru was demonstrating, was named by her. Takeshi is the unfavored nickname for Kussun's dog which she loathes to the extent that she will block people on social media who use it.

Rippi always makes a fuss about how Kussun is annoying (read: too overtly affectionate) and such, but as mentioned above, Kussun was invited to her first solo live as a VIP, they went to LA together, and hang out offstage a lot.

>HonoNico, now with a third wheel

I have a potentially dumb question. In the score match I see a lot of players whose names are / μ's / _______. Is that somehow related to /u/s or 4chan or something?

FYI NicoMaki scanner anon, the JPG artifacts seem to be up a lot and the quality down, compared to chapter 1. But the files are way bigger, because the resolution is way bigger, despite the drop in quality. So for the next one if you can, turn the scanning DPI back to what you used for chapter 1, and save as grayscale PNG instead of JPG. Or if it has to be JPG, at least try to use the lowest compression setting; the artifacts were't this bad in the first chapter.

>>1923826

No, that's from le reddit fags™

>>1923826

>>1924169
Another thing, considering that not only are bubbles missing, but Maki's hair is missing its fill on one of those same pages, I'd say the scanned versions are the original print, while the photos were of the reprint which had a few minor additions. I guess I'll edit in the bubbles, but there's only so much I'm willing to alter to make the scans match the reprint should something else like this exist in the last story.

This group at least has the makings of BiBi MkII already, going off the characters' magazine articles and their cast's antics on Twitter. Presumably at least some fans voted based on what CVs they want to see interact.

>>1924562
After looking against another non-English scanlation of the same book(s), I think you are right. Haven't compared chapter 3 yet, but thank you for the hard work, it's a shame that the reprint happens to be the one in poorer image quality. Seems like Karuha made amendments when afforded the opportunity in the reprint.

If I am not mistaken, Riko's CV (Rikako) stayed at Yohane's CV (Aikyan) apartment I think before or after Aikyan's bday.

Aikyan also photoshopped the drawing of Rikako.

>>1924597
ChikaYouRuby has a whiff of Printemps due to the first two's hair colours and Ruby's character.
RikoMariYoshiko looks a bit like Solge with the BlueYellow combo along with Riko who almost resembles Umi.
DiaKananMaru with it's defrosting student president, the childhood friend and the miko doesn't have a obvious comparison to any previous µ's group.

Komiya Arisa (Dia) was at the sleepover too. That giraffe drawing was during a "competition" the three of them had; other topics included "angel" (Aikyan pointed out that Rikako's angel had too many fingers) and "seal" (Rikako's seal had the face of a grizzled hobo).

It's heartening to know that Shikaco has a successor for her position as weirdass artist. The other Aqours girls seem to have taken to calling Rikako "Gahaku", a title for artists which has become associated with comedic connotations lately, think the kind of strange distended figures drawn by people like Kobayashi Yuu. Her lack of serious artistic ability is said to have come from her mom, whose drawing she posted on Twitter some time back.

Suzuki Aina (Mari) isn't on Twitter as much compared to the other two but she comes off as kinda dorky just like them, particularly when they have conversation threads.

From anon in /vg/llsifg

"Message from Chika:
Wow, what a big star!
Now that we're decorating the tree here, it really feels like Christmas has come!
Uranohoshi Girls' High is a catholic school, so when Christmas comes around, we play hymns in school, and decorate trees, wreaths, and the church. It's a pretty exciting time of year
Maru's from the choir, so she has to go rehearse for the Christmas mass in between Aqours's practice, and student council president Dia's also busy with school events too!
I'm always excited for the galette and drinks they give us on Christmas Eve! Not that I get to do anything special during the festivities, though.
Anyway, the holiday season's just so exciting!
Come to think of it, when I was little, my family always told me that Santa rode in from the ocean on a boat.
So, I didn't pay much mind to how we paired sashimi with the Christmas chicken for dinner (I thought those were just Santa's favorite foods). But now that I think about it, that was pretty weird.
Hehe!
Christmas by the seaside is cold but warm, and a little mysterious. Here, Santa paddles over on a boat instead of riding his sleigh
At Aqours, we've been having practice every day, so it's been a while since we've been able to just relax and decorate a tree like this.
We'll all celebrate our Christmas, and then the next day, it's back to working towards winning the Love Live! Yeah!"

>Catholic School
You know what that means /u/?

The stakes have been raised.

>>1925206
>Christmas chicken for dinner

Fucking KFC. This will never stop amusing me.

>>1925206
The school is situated at Shizuoka, if memory serves? How much of a presence does Catholicism have over there?

God's awareness and knowledge with regard to settings always can be seen in her writing, it wouldn't be surprising if this came up again elsewhere just like Eli's Orthodox faith.

>>1924821
Good work so far! Looking forward to the next chapter. It's my favorite out of the three after reading tranlator anon's translations.

No one's still doing the QC for the translations though? Or did I miss it?

>>1925240
http://www.cbcj.catholic.jp/jpn/data/

It's practically non-existent. I think she just threw it in because why not? Japan sees Christianity in the same manner Taoism is seen as cool in non-Asian countries.

It would honestly make more sense for
-Eli to show up since South-chan is from Shizuoka
-Dia to build tiny robots in her spare time since the main Gunpla factory is based in Shizuoka.

"Q: Who do you ship Umi with in Love Live?

For the whole group, there are 9 people. It’s an odd number. Someone would definitely be left out. But I feel that Umi is quite a character that can enjoy the solitude, she enjoys being alone. If she really has to choose somebody, she would choose Honoka. Because she feels that when she is with Honoka, she can revert back to like when she was in a young time as a small child. They both grew up together into high schoolers. From then on, I find that Umi would choose Honoka."

>>1927701
The logical thing to do is ship Umi with Kotori since HonoTsuba is preety good

>>1927801
No thanks, I don't like shipping characters with outsiders.

>>1927794
you forgot kotori, though. It's pretty obvious that Umi only cares for her childhood friends.

>>1927819
Did you even read the doujin?

Kotori isn't even mentioned.

>>1927801
I guess by your logic, Mimorin is illogical.

>>1927824
>doujin
Well, you should had posted with kotori on it instead of nozoeli because that's doesn't make sense.

>>1927825
It's like you're saying that Emitsun is also illogical considering she likes Umi, though.

Some people in this thread have shit reading comprehension.

>>1927836
anon wasnt even talking about kotori, he just offered a doujin with umi crushing on eli because thats the only doujin he knew that was somehow related to unrequited love and triangles

>>1927801
I like your logic, Onee-sama.

>>1927701
>>1927819

The interview should come with the usual disclaimers about grains of salt, because Mimorin is notoriously goldfish-brained and can say one thing in an interview while saying something else in another. It also depends on her mood at the time, during her AFA2014 press interview she mentioned that Rin was her favorite, for instance.

So so far
Ucchi likes KotoUmi
Mimorin likes HonoUmi
SoraPi likes NicoMaki.

Real curtain call now

You guys are probably tired of questions like this, but still.

I wanted to watch Love Live for a while, but problem is, I'm not that much into idol shows. Should I even bother trying if I couldn't sit through the first ten episodes of Idolmaster? Is it enjoyable outside of s/u/btext? Generic school shows are fine with me, it's the idol stuff that irks me.

>>1928621
I know this will eventually happen. But I will still wait for the OFFICIAL announcement later before I cry.

>>1928635
Well, I never watched any Idol shows beforw this one. And as much as possible I am avoiding as a plague. But when I started watching this, I enjoyed it very much. And now I am a big fan of the franchise. I also enjoyed locodol but not as much as Love Live. And to think Locodol is more subtexty than this.

>>1928637
There's a vid out, it's sadly true.

>>1928647
Yeah, I saw the link but didn't watched it. I'll just wait for the official broadcast.

>>1928639
I'll give it a try then. Thanks, anon.

Sorry TL anon, one more little thing. Does this say "report card" or something like that?

>>1928635
The first half of idolmaster was very uneventful, it only started to pick up when characters like chihaya were faced with some major conflict (and that only after 15+ episodes of...nothing).

I enjoyed the first season of LL, since it was very refreshing, but lost interest halfway through S2. I still enjoy the franchise though, it has great doujins and side material to accompany it.

11 days until the Love Live movie comes out on blu-ray... I'm looking forward to finally watching it, and finding out the future of the girls after the events of season 2.

>>1928698
Yeah, it says Personal Report Card.
