haven't posted in this thread since june so i thought i'd post what i've been up to for the past four months
my jp did eventually hit rank 100, i think during the chafest too. got 60k for two nozomis so overall it worked like a charm. i also got to laugh in the face of some hard songs that gave me s rank troubles.
in the meantime before 4.0 i also got my rank up to 110 and got honoka's title alongside it
(i also did this on en, albeit later)
meanwhile on en i pulled this hanayo from a bt scout. iwanted to scout for a honoka ur (this one in specific). it was a failure overall since both of the pulls were 1sr but i got a different hanayo ur from a ticket
then jp got 4.0 and i couldn't stop soloing off the influx of gems i was getting from the update. it ended up being worth it since i got a fuckton of srs and ssrs. later pulled yet another hanayo from bts
hanayo seems to really like me
over time i started buffing up my teams with new srs, both on en and jp. ever since then both teams have become sr+ with no rs on the teams whatsoever. i've also gotten good at the game, meaning i can fc most expert songs with relative ease. now master songs on the other hand are a different beast entirely but hey it's better than nothing.
i've also been playing a lot of the events, in particular i t2ed the makiumi chafest and hononico medfest, both on jp. i'm also in the middle of t1ing the current yoharuby event on jp because i grinded too much to just be in t2. during the hononico medfest (or before?) my hanayo ur curse finally broke when i pulled this honoka from bts
tldr: i'm stuck deeper in idol hell than i was before
