| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Starting off with such beautiful singing as we ended the last time, I could listen to this for hours honestly, it really is a great voice. There is always good music each and every episode. Rei is supppeerr cuuute. Quite an inventive game and the controller, lol. Would love to know how that actually works. Rinku is so nice, sharing her food like that. The battle was pretty great too, both songs were killer, and I'll more than likely go back and re play them for the rest of the day honestly. Another great episode. |
| So Rei came up with lyrics for the song, made the melody for it and sung it. She certainly played a huge part in this song's creation. Exactly what Happy Around needed to be able to qualify. I knew they could beat the "cool and stylish" Photon Maiden for sure. It was really damn close, intense! Don't get me wrong, Photon Maiden's performance was still mesmerizing. Visuals, songs and outifts. All exactly how I expected them to be. Didn't fail to impress me. I think I might've even liked Photon Maiden's song more. But that's just my preference. Now, to wait another whole week..  |
 |
| Episode 10 is out! Rei's new song creation vs. Photon Maiden's new song. This'll be an interesting one for the last spot of the Sunset Stage! Being someone who doesn't want to be in the limelight, Rei has to step out of her comfort zone to lead HappyAra this time. JUST THIS ONE TIME. Pekota, with smol Rinku and Muni...and insert Ring Rinku's Fit Adventure! Momma Raychell leading the way for Photon Maiden's identity of being cool and stylish, awaiting that new song concoction. As usual, Rinku's coincidential meet with Towa, it's just the same as Peaky's Kyoko. Time for the showdown: Photon Maiden's cool and stylish song vs. Happy Around's melancholic song feat. Rei. Both great songs, and to move the plot forward, the win goes to HappyAra (Photon Maiden, you girls did a fantastic job, would've chosen your song as the better of the 2). |
 |
| great episode and with a deserved winner (but I am pretty sure there were more blue and somehow it switched to orange...). But Happy Around's song was definitely better imo. Rei's voice is simply next level. Ringfit. Even they play it. I guess that lose is a big shock for PM and all their stuff...losing as a whole company against four friends is something you cannot effort...looks like they will have a change for the next episode |
 |
| Rei, you can do it!!! Your song is great. The competition result is expected, congratulations!!!. I hope Happy Around will perform even better at the Sunset stage. Photon Maiden's performance is a really good one, their song is totally matches their image. I like their outfit. I really want Photon Maiden to perform at the Sunset stage as well, they are one of the main group and deserves the position. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Bushi (or just the creators of the anime) adore Photon Maiden so much that I'm even a little surprised that our girls won. I will not talk about whether it was deserved or not, as I am very biased because of my love for more fun and active songs, but it seems that the Maiden were surprised even more than us lol. |
 |
| Wow, Saki is beautiful. It looks like she has some problems. I’m guessing she wants make beats that she likes, not just cool and stylish. I hope she can open up to her friends. Both performances were great, I liked Photon Maiden’s more though. |
 |
| Non-chan should have more role in the future. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| YEEEEEEEEEEES Happy Around won! Photon Maiden are cool but Happy Around is clearly better, but both songs were good anyway, really nice episode |
 |
| Another great D4DJ episode, with this episode tying EP 7 as my favorite. We see Rei working on the song herself as Happy Ara supports her along the way. While Photon Maiden is wrapping up their song smoothly for the battle. We get to both of the performances, and DEAR LORD both songs are GREAT. Photon Maiden with that DROP, really mesmerizing. While Happy Ara having a melancholic yet upbeat melody is a sweet song to dance. Honestly I would prefer either the Photons or our Ara girls to win but I guess Rinku and the gang managed to win over a label-backed group. I will say this. We need the DEMO version of Rei's song, cause it's undoubtedly better than the LIVE version. Oh her angelic voice won them the prize to the Sunset Stage. But before we get that, I guess we're going to focus on Photon Maiden for a bit. |
 |
| Im like Photron Maiden more than Hweppy Around (still my favourits are Rondo). But the win was well deserved. While Photon Maiden just made another decent song in "trheir style", Happy Around this time chose sometrhing different and still made it work. |
 |
| Wlep, Happy Around wins this round. |
| Great episode! Both songs were great but HapiAra is the one that took the victory in the end, I'm worried for the Photon Maiden girls since they really seem to be struggling with how things are handled (which is a stark contrast to what we saw in this episode with HapiAra, completely in to switch to a different style to fit better Rei's song). Preview of next episode showed lots of Saki so I can't wait for the interactions to come, they are all such lovely characters. |
 |
| Rei is super adorable and the way she reacted when Rinku walked into the music room was just too cute!! Both performances were great, personally liked Happy Around better but I was maybe hoping that they would both still go to the festival, but in the end Happy Around won. Seems we gonna get some focus on Photon Maiden, nice to see the other groups also getting some attention! |
 |
| Rei singing seems to be the decisive factor on their win. Congrats to Happy Around. :) |
| For me this was a difficult choice, since my favorite style in music is electro I thought that Photon Maiden was the group I would root for, and while ended I like them a lot, the song from Happy Around was better and I tell you why. The song from Photon Maiden is good but is a song that is more relaxing, I imagine myself listening to similar songs while I'm doing work or something like that, in the other hand the Happy Around song is more melancholy but at the same time more, what is called "festival friendly", I get more hyped with them instead of Photon Maiden. Is like do an versus between Deadmau5 and Avicii, you can have your favorite but at the end of the day the Avicii's songs are more festival friendly than Deadmau5's songs and that's why Avicii is more well know around the world than Deadmau5. |
 |
| What can I say, it's amazing to me how they manage to surpass themselves in every damn episode! I'm ready to say this is the best music anime of all time! The new songs from both groups are so, so beautiful! But I do prefer Happy's song more. Having a battle between groups was a really good change of pace! Rei managed to beat an entire legit idol unit almost by herself XD And I found it hilarious how at the end of such beautiful song Maho began to hit the airn horn sound and they began to sing Muni's song lmaooo! Man I'm so glad HA! won, I really got exited and anxious to know who the winner was, at first there clearly where more girls with the PM color so it really was a surprise to me, specially know that most of the popular music animes always have their main band/group going throught a crisis at the end of their 1st season because they lose in a competition or anything like that. |

| This anime deserves way more people watching it, I find the beginning kinda slow and forced (first 3-4 eps) but once it gets going it’s really good stuff. Hoping it gets a sequel. |
| KYAAAHHH! Shizaki Kanon's singing performance was so great! Happy Around beats Photon Maiden! i wonder if it's a close fight or a big margin? 5/5. |
 |
| so Towa says outright she'd like to do songs like HA's, and Saki gives the impression she's not that big on PM's song style/image. tbh don't really feel bad for them though. maybe they didn't know what kind of unit PM was gonna be before auditioning but they still signed up for it. I'm sure they knew they wouldn't have control over their unit like other girls do. personally not a fan of PM's music anyway. they sound like what I'd expect a corporation to make a unit sound like. I'm not really into this music genre anyway so I may be wrong but to me it sounds really generic, like exactly what I'd expect most artists at an EDM festival to sound like. or at least what people like me that aren't into the genre would think of if you asked them to describe it. not that that's a bad thing but... well hopefully PM will be able to gain some autonomy going forward, though their producer's attitude makes me think that's unlikely. really shows the difference between HA and P-key being made because the members want to make music they like even if it goes out of their usual style, and PM being formed to be a product with a set image. |
| Photon Maidem vs Happy Ara and as expected Happy Ara won the showdown. Thou their song really was better than Photon Maidens. Photon Maidens' song was pretty cool but Happy Ara's song was really great, Rei chan as the singer was amazing. |

Hoping it gets a sequel. Tbh, the rating has already went up by a whole point. I saw D4DJ with a 6/10 rating before. Now it’s a 7/10. So fans have a better impression of the show now. Rei’s voice is pleasant to listen to. It’s deep and mature. She sounds like Nana Mizuki. I prefer listening to it rather than Rinku’s voice. Although Rinku’s high pitched voice suits her cheerful, bubbly, and energetic self. I hope they do more covers with Reí. I wasn't talking about rating, I'd rate it like 7/10 myself overall. I was talking about how few are watching it, still less 10k have it on the list, with just about 5k watching. |
| Ah, what kind of stupidity of me that forgetting this one. Maybe a bunch of ddos from this massive seasonal season show really distorting my watching list. Then, i am forgetting two episodes already. What a dumb xd. Anyway, yeah, that's a bang performance you got there, girls! Rin surely found a gem over Rei solo singing, and its not a joke. Gladly, everyone gave a chance, and yeah, its result better than i expect. Rei voices surely maginificent. Thanks to her seiyuus afterall, and such a soothing experience for me at the end of the episode. I wonder what happened to Photon Maiden after those lost. I hope the Producer still gave them a chance to be better. Because its not their mistake, their performance was nice too. It was purely an unfortunate situations over the audiences taste and like that judge a slight changed at Happy Around performance in a positive views. They accepted it, they voted for it. And, yeah, congratulations, Happy Around, and see you again at the last event! I hope its get better there! |

| GREAT CHAPTER!!! The songs of both groups were GREAT!!!! |
| Loved both group's performances, but Happy Ara's new song was absolutely phenomenal. Rei's voice is so boldly soothing that I got teary eyed. The CGI also works great for this kind of show as the characters are so expressive and their passion gets through with subtle things like how Rinku's smile changes a few times during Rei's solo. |
 |
| i think photo maiden will win but i wrong .. tbh i prefer this than LL and bang dream origin anime |
| Two great performances, but I think Happy Around! was better. I'm so glad they won. :3 Congratulations, girls! |

| Wow, Happy Around won. Who could have seen that dramatic plot twist coming? /s Also, what an immensely stupid voting system that was to decide it. Like they can count arms in the air that easily in a dark room and properly count the wristbands when the girl on stage needed fucking binoculars to see. Why not just have them vote on an app or something, instead of this absolute nonsense? |
| This episode was probably my favorite, both performances were absolutely stunning!!! Personally, I liked photon maiden's song better (even though I like the happy around girls). I am not gonna lie I originally did not watch this anime when it first dropped since it was CGI, but honestly (the CGI is hella good) and the story is just absolutely amazing. Every episode I have so much fun!! :) |
