#why enstars wiki why

[seangelfish]

Just a little ramble, but I just found out that the Enstars Wiki had decreased the quality of the cards on there 😔

I realised this whilst making my flower prompt requests headers.

Here's the version you can find online now:

And here's the 2022 version:

(It's barely noticeable until you start editing with them. You can also zoom in on both images to see the difference.)

This is so disappointing for me because even though it's not a big deal, I really do like creating my headers. I usually zoom in on them too, but now they look pixelated because of this 😭

[aerinamis]

you’ve heard of girls night, now get ready for girls night: evil, consisting of rei, eichi, rinne, and aira (victim)

[essbi]

Genuine question, is enstars really just high schoolers trying to be idols or is there actual fantasical elements in it because on one hand i see stuff like 'the 2 guys arent actually vampires' and 'the student council are just really influential and drove people to suicide' and on the other i see time loops and assassins and necromancy and eating roses to not get hurt from the sun

Fake fan of everything I’ve ever been a fan of because I’m not good at interpreting and my memory is not great either

[direct0rhutao]

hello everyone welcome back to my youtube channel my tumblr blog and today we’re going to be roasting the interior design choices of enstars idols. bc i was looking at the starmony dorm cgs on the wiki for certain reasons and the closer i looked at them the more i was like. why do they look like that.

tldr the starmony dorm rooms are interior design nightmares

mika ritsu dorm: actually this is one of the most decent dorms in terms of aethestics and how well they match the people in the room. mika has plushies on his nightstand! so cute!! ritsu has a goth looking bed with a thing at the end that my common sense says is probably a pillow but my eyes say is a very small coffin! huh!

wataru sora subaru madara dorm: why would you put a cactus right next to the foot of a bed that is an accident waiting to happen. whose bed even is that. idk whose bed is whose in this room

himeru arashi tetora dorm: sorry but arashi’s and tetora’s beds being next to each other is so funny. i like the flower vase and i think the frames arashi put up are cute. i think tetora’s gym equipment smells very strongly of sweat and i think arashi’s solution to this would be to constantly spray perfume at the room. every day himeru wakes up and is assaulted by Odors

mayoi tomoya dorm: what is that one bar above mayoi’s bed for. but other than that mayoi has pretty good taste his bed looks cool. tomoya’s bed is way more “normal” but still looks nicer that some of the other beds we’ll see later

tatsumi koga dorm: why is there a motorcycle in the frame on the wall. what is that ornament on the other wall and why does it look like a sun. why does this room look like the kind of fake model “bedroom” you find in a furniture store

jun kohaku dorm: this room probably also smells like sweat but unfortunately i don’t think kohaku has that much perfume or room spray on hand. also i think one of these days jun’s post-workout selfie mirror will fall over and break and jun will cry

yuzuru tori dorm: what are the round things on the walls next to tori’s bed. are they nightlights. does tori still need nightlights. why doesn’t tori get himself the cutesy nightlights that are shaped like stars and clouds and stuff instead of those things that make the walls look like they have pimples

kaoru nagisa yuta dorm: i think yuta’s bed is the blue one bc it looks a bit like hinata’s but the other two beds look like something you’d find in a 3 star hotel. no personality whatsoever. what’s with the abstract splotch art on the wall. nagisa is part of one of the Big Three units of ES so he should be paid well he can definitely afford some nicer decorations like a large chart illustrating the differences between igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks or smth. i do feel like nagisa chose the beanbags that look like rocks tho.. theyre the only saving grace of this room so good job nagisa

keito hajime hokuto dorm: we still don’t know what this one looks like at all.. i think keito’s bed is Boring, hajime’s bed has cute bedsheets in calming pastel colors, and hokuto’s bed has matching bedsheets and pillows in tasteful shades of blue. the rest of trickstar helped pick these bc hokuto’s parents sent him a matching set of bedding with HIDAKA HOKUTO embroidered in gold thread on everything as a “moving-out gift” and hokuto was mortified and shoved them under his bed never again to see the light of day

ibara tsumugi midori mitsuru dorm: midori’s and mitsuru’s beds are cute. i love midori’s vegetable plushies and mitsuru’s bread pillows. ibara and tsumugi’s beds look miserable and devoid of personality, perhaps representing their owners’ mental anguish and despair. and since they have no other large pieces of furniture aside from the beds this room also looks a bit like a showroom in a mattress store

makoto adonis chiaki dorm: i’m guessing chiaki’s bed is the one with bright posters above it, makoto’s bed is the one with the post its and other posters above it, and adonis’s bed is the one with the snuggly blanket with the lovely pattern. they also have a nice long couch, a tv, and a rug with some bean bags. overall it’s a very nice room! my only major complaint is that i refuse to believe that chiaki uses a plain gray blanket and not the same power ranger bedsheets he’s had since he was 10 years old

hinata hiiro niki dorm: hinata’s bed has the blue blanket and hanging plants right? i assume hiiro’s bed has the pillows with blue and orange stripes just because it reminds me of the colors on his jacket. i refuse to believe that niki’s bed is that neat i know he has a secret stash of snacks next to his desk or under the bed or something. i think after crazyB has paid off all their debts and are no longer seriously struggling financially and niki is able to save some of his paycheck i think he’d buy a minifridge and put it next to his bed

rei eichi aira dorm: everyone always talks about rei and eichi’s petty divorce curtain but nobody mentions how aira’s bed looks like it’s made out of cardboard

leo natsume nazuna dorm: why is leo’s the only visibly messy bed we’ve seen. why are nazuna’s and natsume’s beds so average. i can see nazuna as the kind to go for a simple blanket with stripes but you cannot tell me that natsume does not have the most headache-inducing blankets and pillows known to mankind. natsume has 3 pillows each with a different pattern and combination of complimentary colors on them and 2 blankets one of which he found in one of the secret passageways in yumenosaki and one of which has a bunch of constellations printed on it and all of it clashes horribly

kuro mao izumi shu dorm: oh this is one of the worst rooms in general. let’s start with the beds. all four of them look like they have the exact same bedframe. how come mika gets a fancy victorian bedframe and shu doesn’t. is all of shu’s special fancy furniture in france. i genuinely can’t tell whose bed is whose. is mao’s bed the black one on the far left or the red and gray one on the far right (bc ritsu was involved in choosing the bedsheets). why doesn’t kuro have any gym equipment next to his bed like tetora and jun. do you think kuro used to have some gym equipment in the dorm but shu and izumi complained too much about the sweaty smell so he had to leave it at his family’s house. what’s with the four-part abstract art piece. who put that there. did izumi put that there because i cannot imagine shu putting that up there. i do not think shu likes that sort of modern art he probably says it’s meaningless or derivative or smth. he’d probably prefer a high-quality print of a reinassance painting or framed pictures actually scratch that last one because if the kuro mao izumi shu dorm was allowed to hang personal photos on the walls izumi might put up some pictures of the rest of knights and then every night shu would have to go to sleep haunted by the vaguely threatening (to him) smile of Narukami Arashi

rinne kanata hiyori dorm: obv kanata’s bed is the one with the aquarium next to it, which means rinne’s and hiyori’s beds are probably the ones with the slightly different zigzag stripe patterns and honestly i’m disappointed. you mean to tell me amagi rinne doesn’t have insufferably gaudy bright red bedsheets? he doesn’t have a blanket with cartoon bees on it that he bought as a joke when he went to the supermarket with the rest of crazyB? he doesn’t have a stack of coupons and discount vouchers and half-finished loyalty cards and a bunch of misshapen plushies that he got out of a claw machine while trying to get the hamburger plushie for niki as an anniversary gift? and hiyori. eichi’s bed probably came straight from his family’s mansion and looks like it came from a 5 star hotel and hiyori just has. that?? i refuse to belive that hiyori would allow himself to be one-upped by tenshouin eichi in this manner. hiyori has a humongous fluffy princess bed with hearts and flourishes carved into the bedframe and a whole ass canopy with fairy lights that took jun four hours to assemble and you cannot convince me otherwise

tsukasa souma shinobu dorm: where is tsukasa’s trading card collection. where is souma’s sword rack. where are shinobu’s lego ninjago bedsheets

[mamadarama]

sorry trans rinne anon back with something i forgot to add in my original ask: rinne is definitely a name he chose myself i think.

to be clear: yes, it is a gender neutral name. however. i am saying this because, to quote enstars wiki: "The first character in Rinne's first name, 燐, means phosphorus, which is associated with phosphorescence, Hell, and ghostly creatures."

i did so much research and i could only find one other example of "rin" in a name spelled that way, and it was another edgy anime character, being discussed on a blog post that even said outright "no parent in their right mind would name their kid that." plus, we know amagi village is pretty strict with traditions and rules and stuff (hiiro's name already caused problems just by using 一/"one" for the second kid, can you really imagine them naming their heir/future leader something like that?)

rinne, on the other hand, was a rebellious/edgy teenager, of fucking course he'd give himself a cool evil-sounding name who do you take him for

as for the second half of his name, 音, that means "sound" which like. obvious name for a kid who wants to be an idol

(bonus trans hiiro note: when chiaki tells hiiro "wow, your parents must really love you!" hiiro is just kinda like "? iguess?" like he doesnt get what they have to do with it. personal hc this is because he came up with his name himself. better yet, rinne helped him come up with it, which is why he purposely picked the "one" kanji to piss off the other villagers)

i can definitely understand rinne choosing his own name, even outside of a trans context . it wouldn't be hard to say that he changed his name when he went to the city as a way to disconnect himself from his village and symbolically start on a clean slate .

new di x warrior cats

name explanations and more info below :3

basic stuff

-each agency is a clan, not each unit. 14-15 clans would be silly and then we would have some clans with 5 cats and some with 2.

-starpro -> lightclan. i couldn’t call them “starclan” for obvious reasons. light is somewhat synonymous with star, so i’m going with that.

-cospro -> nightclan. i don’t think the cats in warriors know the word “cosmic”, but cosmic implies cosmos implies night sky, so we’re going with night

-rhyth lin -> rippleclan. ripple is sort of a synonym to rhythm….? this one was hard

-new di -> fortuneclan. this one is a stretch but neither “new” or “dimension” have synonyms that really fit a clan name. fortune is something that relates to multiple characters in new di though

-starclan still sort of exists, but the cats do not believe in them the way they do in warriors. they are more of a nursery tale than anything, and select cats (ex: tatsumi) believe in them, but it is not written into their code. medicine cats can still interpret signs, but they do not necessarily think of them as coming from starclan.

-medicine cat forbidden romance is not a thing here

-intermingling of clans is ok and common

-there’s like. other cats in their clans besides just the enstars cast i assume

cat names/why i chose them

fortuneclan:

knights

-tsukasa -> scarletstar (scarletblossom) . he is the leader of fortuneclan because he is one of the new di reps for the summits. both scarlet and blossom were chosen bc of his last name (scarlet is a red color… kinda similar to cherry…. and blossom for the cherry blossom).

-leo -> lionheart. ok this one is kind of cheating because lionheart is already an existing warrior, but…come on….

-izumi -> silverspring. sora describes his color as silver, and spring is in his first name

-ritsu -> frostmoon. his first name means cold moon according to the wiki so i just rehashed it

-naru -> goldenroar. since she doesn’t like her first name i didn’t want to use “storm”, and her last name can be read as “thunder” but that’s a little too close to storm? so golden for her hair and roar for her last name

switch

-natsume -> sageeye. a sage is similar to a wizard, and eye is in his first name . also the “dovesong” mentioned is wataru :)

-tsumugi -> bluewing. he is a bluebird. warrior cats probably wouldn’t straight up call a cat “bluebird” so i put wing there instead. deputy cause he’s the vp

-sora -> skyspring . sora means sky. spring is in his last name. i could have used “stream” instead to differentiate him from sena but i think spring is cuter

mam/df

-madara -> tawnystripe . tawny bc it’s like kind of close to calico if you squint. stripe(s) is in his last name

[yume-fanfare]

this is kinda random but i was telling my teacher abt an enstars chara for a project and i saw them looking him up, clicking on his wiki, scrolling around, and going back to the main page just to then click on a shipping wiki page. then promptly asking me what shipping is. horrifying.

OH MY GODDDD 😭😭😭😭 crazy because the enstars wiki IS really good. tells you all you need to know. why click on the shipping wiki hskfhskfjks now im really curious about what could they have seen

this could have happened to me too anon bcs im turning in torikasa for an assignment next week. but im sure it's fine because my professor has seen it all (other works that were turned in last year included but were not limited to trigun yaoi)

all cards are originally from enstars, i only did the editing :] the unit description is also just from the wiki with slight tweaks to fit the AU

if you're reading this, have a cookie! (.w.)>🍪

[natsmagi]

Do you mind explaining the war in great detail for me? It confuses me a lot and I feel like I can never fully understand it

OH MAN. THE ENTIRE WAR ?? IN GREAT DETAIL ???? ME ?????? omg the war has like. So many moving parts and theres so many characters involevd all of which doing what they do for their own unique reasons (which tended to lean selfish) and i am just a mere switchP i do not know the inner-workings of all these guys (plus if i had to sit down and try to psychoanalyze wataru and truly understand what was going on inside that mans head i feel like id evaporate) BUT!!!!! there is actually a section of the enstars wiki COMPLETELY dedicated to the war that you can read! https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/The_War

but, to summarize; eichi had always loved idols his whole life and naturally wanted to become one. but when he had enrolled at the esteemed yumenosaki he noticed none of these students took being an idol seriously, which really got to him as eichi could die at any moment, and now he sees no one taking what he had always dreamed of seriously? so he crafted a plan with the help of keito (who has ties to the student council) and tsumugi (who is on good terms with practically everyone) to make the students feel like they could be the heroes rising from the ashes by "defeating the villain" that put yumenosaki in such disarray (even though this was of their own making). And who would be more suitable to play the antagonist against people who are selfish and lazy and dont care to put in effort themselves? why, the newly established Five Eccentrics formed completely against the members will of course! the five eccentrics who are naturally gifted and perfect in every way, unlike the other students who have now become "the underdog." and, since eichi is aware of how lazy these students are, he created a protagonist, Fine, to defeat the five eccentrics. fine was meant to represent the underdogs, hence why eichi made tsumugi officially considered the unit leader since he was the only one who was actually fitting of the title "underdog who came from nothing," and could thus set a greater example than the likes of eichi or hiyori who were born into wealth

the war was eichis meticulous plan to basically save the idol industry? or at least yumenosakis reputation, and eichi needed this done FAST because again; he could die at any minute, and he NEEDED to see it out til the end. and because he needed this plan executed in such a short amount of time he didnt care about spilling blood, ruining relationships, or making himself the villain in the end. eichi is a very self-loathing person, and during the war he had failed to realize that some people might actually genuinely like him as a friend. that part would lead to eichi unintentionally hurting those he held close too such as tsumugi, but his plan also ended up hurting the likes of leo, who he never even wanted to be part of the war to begin with because itd feel like kicking a lost puppy. only for the war to then affect leo probably the greatest of them all, as the events of Checkmate made him a depressed shut-in for half a year or so. once the war was over, the regret eichi felt was so great he didnt think he deserved to live, only for wataru to then show himself to eichi and express a desire for them to join forces and plan a second revolution, where they will be the villains and "defeated" by the shining new idols who will set a better example than they ever couldve

[lisxdumbr]

Ok, Hi Hello, I am seeing a lot of panic over this post of mine regarding the current situation of the enstars assets, since the post escalated and I started seeing some takes I feel in the necessity to say;

Please don't panic over the wiki's status

Yes, as I said the wiki will go affected by this situation but that doesn't mean tomorrow morning all images are going to disappear in the blink of an eye. The host's of the wiki have already stated that they don't have any notice from happyele about the images yet so if that's what concerned you, you can breathe out now

Here's the original thread with the announcement too

Now then, if the wiki has the permission then what happened to the drive? I've been investigating for a bit and after seeing Grad's emails it happens that the DMCA violations come directly from Google

I apologize for the censorship but this is their main and for safety reasons I wish to protect their identity

So rest assured !! The cards are not going anywhere at the moment. As for the concern coming from some editors I want you to tell you that this will not affect us more than it already does. I don't know if this is general knowledge but editing and using any resource coming from HE's IP has always been in a gray area (the same way data mining is). I know this as an editor myself because at some point I wanted to try monetizing my editing skill but decided to investigate a bit further about their policies. If they don't do anything to us it's because they either don't know or just pure neglect.

That said, which things could this drive takedown affect? Things not hosted in the wiki, like the anniversary songs, voice lines or other types of graphics. Grad has also stated that this situation may make them leave enstars completely and since they're the main data miner the staff would have to move a lot of things to be able to continue providing resources from upcoming events. Also I don't know if you all knew but the reason why Grad knows how to data mine properly is because they're a coder, so as a fun fact a lot of the original code from the wiki comes from them and another collaborator.

Please do not alarm people further, if anything support Grad in these trying times, they're currently trying to find a place to reupload the folders but are struggling a bit with the payments, if anyone is willing to help please do

Mayoi in PriPara Outfits Part 1

this is a suuuuuper long post cuz i did 2 drawings for about 20 outfits????? so here's the best ones so u dont miss anything by not actually going thru them all o7

but woooo !!! basically i've been on a long journey rewatching pripara very slowly so it's kinda seeping into my brain so i wanted to mess around with what outfits mayoi would go for if he went 2 pripara !! if u want a teal eyed version that also isnt split into parts, heres my pixiv post

last few things to say b4 i start, hello 3 pripara fans on my account, no boypara outfits cuz i didnt grow up with that (the last op i remember is the 6th one and i dont think im anywhere near that yet in my rewatch), honestly i have no clue if there's even proper boypara outfits??? i just know it exists idk anything about it, and if u see placeholders thats cuz i wanna keep the 3 image layout, thats the only reason why lol. and outfit descriptions will go below the art of the outfit. ok time 2 start !!!!!!

Petit Devi from Holic Trick Classic !! this was the first one I did back on.... Janurary 2nd lol. I have yet to see Mayoi in a bright pink but u know what, my executive decision says he deserves it. hi 3 pripara fans on my account again, i should also say most of these (like this one) will be from the arcade stuff cuz i just picked stuff i liked from the wiki's coord list

Sexy Girl from Holic Trick cuz Mayoi's the sexiest girl i know !! from now on all the coords will be from Holic Trick (an in-show brand) cuz 2bh w y'all i mostly just browsed Holic Trick for this whole series of drawings cuz im not going thru all those dam coords. although i've done 2 short skirts so far i do think mayoi'd like longer skirts more, but pripara likes short skirts more so so be it o7

Gothic Check !! the grey shirt and black jacket is kinda giving fs2 4star vibes so this would be the fs2 4star if enstars were cool (wore pripara outfits)

Modern Coffee Maid !! I was thinking of maybe changing the color but i liked the way the orange contrasts with the purple making it look kinda halloweeny :] I also have a personal bias towards brown i luv that color !! but ya if i had 2 say, he'd probably be a 3star if this were a set, kinda vaguely fits him but not enough to be under the spotlight imo

Classic Trump !! Sophy actually wears this in the show and i think it's so cute i wonder how the other alka members would style the vest in their own way (im 2 lazy 2 do that myself yawwnnn) in fact mayoi himself would probably prefer longer sleeves but u kno, stayed tru 2 the original n stuff, anyway say hello to bright pink again mayochan

Sparkling Jellyfish Sophy !! hi kanata hi fish wife hi nata hello nata hi nata whats up nata i love u nata

Nin'Nin Among the Water from Baby Monster !! when i saw this outfit i was chained to my tablet the demons were holding me hostage i had to make the ninja association wear it or i'd suffer a public execution

My Design Holic Trick !! back to holic trick for the rest again :] this is the one i posted on its own hehehehe it's still the one i put THE most effort into (which is why it's the only one i bothered to sign, still dont repost the rest tho please and thank u im just lazy) cuz man its a vibe its so good its one of my favs still i love stupid shorts and the puffy sleeves with the cropped vest and black and purple and the heart and bows and keys which are kinda all reasons i also like mayoi (heart in mayois vibe comes from his big heart muah) bless u mayoi i luv u

Night Navy !! mayoi loves to kill artists in cold blood with random intricate patterns (or maybe thats just an enstars thing in general) so i knew i had to give him this dress. gave him an undershirt cuz what if he gets cold :[

And that's it for this post !! I've now reached the image limit, so see ya in the next post !! (sorry foosybit followers for triple posting i didnt realize i drew so much)

[nogenderbee]

Hey hey bee! It's me again with another songfic request.

So yeah may I request toya and akito with song Aisle, be with you by Ring.A.Bell. Yeah it's another enstars song that I adore sm<33 For the lyrics, I'll let you decide it!

Here's where you could find the translation:

https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/Aisle,_be_with_you_(Lyrics)

Hope it'll help you like before!

Of course darling! Sorry that you waited for so long but thank you for adding link to lyrics as it really made it easier for me! Toya turned out to be a bit shorter than Akito but I hope you enjoy it either way! <3

Akito, Toya - Asile, be with you

TagList: @yulikesminori @kuzui5201314 @coffeeykhs (not tagging you because you'll get notification either way)

Song: translation

Whenever we passed by each other ever so slightly

I would look away from you

You thought of Akito as of your good friend but recently he started acting strange around you... you really started thinking he hated you. He was giving you signs screaming so at least! He'd avoid making eye contact with you, wouldn't even say "hi" when you passed each other at school corridor and he wouldn't talk with you unless you initiate it and press him to the wall! You honestly wouldn't be surprised if he'd start avoiding you on purpose soon...

Fearing that you’d hear

The uncontrollable beat of my heart

But there was also other side of the coin to his actions... he really just had a massive crush on you and he knew it. He knew it because he'd blush like stupid whenever you locked eyes and he stuttered when he talked with you. He knew he had to make impression of "tough guy" so you'd like him back but it was honestly hard when you were simply around him! So in hopes to calm down, he tried avoiding contact with you as much as he could but not too much to not hurt you.

I turned at the clear sound of your voice,

It only makes me wish to be with you

But that one day made him understand that he failed at not hurting you...

Today you called for him when he simply tried to walk back home, he even tried to pretend that he didn't hear you but there he was now... he was stopped by you suddenly pinning him against the wall maybe even literally! He saw the determination in your eyes and he knew he can't get himself out of this... and the worst thing was that he knew well why you did that...

"Akito! I demand explanation!"

"W-What do you want from me?! Just let me go... i-idiot..."

But despite him trying to make you let go of him, you were simply too stubborn and he could already feel his face warming up while it was becoming harder to keep his voice away from stuttering.

I want to confess under the clear skies “I love you”

In that moment he wished to tell you that he simply has a crush on you but the thoughts of you rejecting and making fun of him were all over his head, and he certainly couldn't let that happen...

"Just say it! I just want to know the truth!"

"I like you, okey?!!!"

But in that moment he just let go of his feelings... he didn't even realized it when he did to be honest... it was just a quick but honest answer. He wished you could say the same and wanted to wait for you but his face was warming up more every second and he didn't wanted you to see him red like that so he decided to leave, taking advantage of the fact that you were currently stunned by his words.

"Don't make a big deal out of it. I admit, I like you. Now let go of me and don't talk to me about it ever again."

Song: same as for Akito

Whenever we passed by each other ever so slightly

I would look away from you

Toya had a massive crush on you and at first he tried his best to be gentleman towards you to hopefully gain your heart. But later on his feelings were growing stronger and stronger every day. He kne it wasn't very nice of him but he started... avoiding you or quickly end any conversation with you.

Fearing that you’d hear

The uncontrollable beat of my heart

It really looked like he hated you but for him it was covered with fear of him accidentally letting his feelings win. He was scared that he'll tell you how he truly feels and you'll reject him because you don't feel the same and your relationship will end because of him. He really would rather to stay friends with you than become strangers because of his confession, so he choose to remain quiet.

I turned at the clear sound of your voice,

It only makes me wish to be with you

But of course he couldn't go on like this forever, you'd eventually notice and when you did, he felt his heart sink as he didn't wanted to tell you but he couldn't just lie you in the face.

"Toya, you've been pretty distant recently, are you sure you're alright?"

"Yes, I am."

"Then why are you avoiding me? Have I done something wrong?!"

"No! It's just..."

I want to confess under the clear skies “I love you”

He can't continue this on forever. He knew he had to let go eventually and face you while saying those words because there's no way he'd be able to just change them or even forget about you.

But the scary sky that day got him... he felt like world was giving him a chance and he immediately took it trying to put his words in gentle way.

"YN, I apologize for my behavior but the truth is that I catched feelings. I love you."

[heatwa-ves]

Okay so!!! 18Trip is a new game made by the same people who made a3 and the writing is so... its really good but basically Yokohama (known as HAMA in universe) is really failing in its tourism ventures, so much so that it's considered like a total flop, about to lose all funding from Tokyo and really just not a great place and so enters Kafka Oguro and our protagonist, Kaede/Momiji Hamasaki (basically you can play as either, they're big brother and little sister and there are a few dialogue differences but largely nothing changes) who are going to revitalize HAMA's tourism districts (known as Wards, and there are 18 of them.) Kafka becomes the 0th ward mayor of HAMA which is essentially like the leader of the district and everyone is like lol what's this chronically ill 20yo going to do and then Kafka just goes okay so we're no longer going to take money from Tokyo and we're going to become the best tourist area in Japan just you wait!

So he starts out towards his goal by trying to recruit ward mayors to each ward, and also divides all 18 wards into 4 groups (which are aligned with different times of day, you have the dawn/morning group, the day group, the evening group, and the night group) and the morning group which has a full tl of the first half of its story now already has 3 mayors for its 4 wards and they just have to find a 4th one. But of the wards that already have mayors, none of them really get along? Renga (3rd ward mayor) and Liguang (4th ward mayor) fucking hate each other and it's very obvious why in their character novels (which. they say not to read them until after you've read the main stories but all the novels have been translated to some degree and the main stories are all still in progress so...) but Renga has a weird inferiority complex that he covers up by being absolutely insufferable and pretending to be super rich and exclusive but after the main story his appeal has largely become how much of a wet cat he is. I think you'd like him honestly. Liguang's family has been close to Renga's for forever but something happened about 12 years ago (smiles) that caused a rift between the two boys and now they just fucking hate each other. The other mayor, Yukikaze (2nd ward), is the player's cousin and the two of them are very close much to Kafka's dismay. The two of them constantly fight over the player's time and it's actually very funny. Cousin who never sees you and just wants to hang out and spend time together like when you were kids and your childhood best friend with a very obvious crush on you who cannot deal with your cousin trying to hang out and lashes out at every opportunity because of it. Kafka is also just all around a silly guy

I have to go somewhere and this is getting really long but I have essays on the other units too (still working through the day2 translations on tumblr for their main story before hitting up their light novels a bit but otherwise.) You can read the prologue and the first half of r1ze's main story which sets up a lot of things that are mentioned in the other main stories on yukikaze.love if you're interested ! There is also a masterlist in progress of different card/story translations here and a discord for the wiki that people send tls to which is where I find most of the ones I read that aren't on tumblr already. I will be back to talk about ev3ns and l4mps though when I get back from my thing

ooh this sounds fun!! is there a lot of characters like in enstars or is it a smaller cast?

[distortedwhite]

sits down. hello enstarries i'm here to let everyone know the worst experience i've ever had with game account recovery. literally even aichuu was easier than whatever this fuckery is

(tweeter thread)

let me provide a little backstory first. everyone here knows i Love enstars—jpstars specifically. i grew up playing !-era enbasic, am still playing !!-era enbasic, and play the japanese version of enmusic as well. when engstars first released i gave it a try, got bigbang subaru and conquest hiyori, somehow became a vice prez for the society i'm in (and still get to mod for even months after quitting engstars. if anyone here needs an active society, contact me or toribuns on tweeter :DDD), got link click kouchan and mika... i was pretty happy with my account.

however, i quickly lost interest in engstars, since jpstars is my one and only love LOL but i kept engstars on my phone in case i wanted to return to it. and i did return to it! i played the campaign that ran during the secret swan gacha just to see if i could get natsume (i didn't ftr www)

and back i went to ignoring engstars for 476534 years. and that's where my personal problem arises. you see, i never linked my account to a tweeter acc, or google acc, or email, or whatever. my thought process was like "why would i need to do that? i still have engstars on my phone, and it isn't gonna randomly kick me from my own account right. RIGHT???" but that's precisely what happened. i opened engstars because i needed some info from the new spotlight event for the wiki, only to see engstars just kicked me out.

ofc i go "OH SHIT. I never linked my acc to anything." so i check support and they don't have Anything on account recovery. but they Do have something on data transfer :D it requires me to have a new engstars account in order for them to do the transfer, so i make a new account. and let me just tell you. fuck the engstars tutorial. legitimately, fuck the engstars tutorial.

after 4753835 years i escape tutorial containment and fill out the rest of the support form, which included your typical "lost account" miseries. ("how the fuck am i supposed to know what my rank is. HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW ANYTHING......") eventually i do manage to fill the form and send it off. waiting game.

(also i still cannot believe engstars is an Official thing. it feels so fanmade and unprofessional. typos and spacing issues, And the app won't even let me scroll down further to read whatever it says on the second screenshot. i assume it says "Problem solving in progress" but me not able to scroll down in order to read it is bad design)

a day later—which, kudos to engstars support team, i did not expect them to only take a day—i receive a response saying they did find my account! but they also said my account was linked to a tweeter account that doesn't match the one my new engstars account—yknow, the one that they needed me to make to transfer data—is linked to.

i was pretty surprised because damn i had no idea my account was actually connected to something but okay! engstars support wanted me to switch tweeter accounts in order for me to do some.... authorization... things... seriously i can't read their response. revoking my kudos because i'd rather have a legible response than a quick one

ANYWAY i try...??? to log in with a different tweeter account, but engstars won't let me, so i go directly into tweeter and revoke engstars access permissions. and after that? i expected to get back to the tweeter log in screen, but instead engstars won't even give me that, telling me that the login failed after tapping the "Login with Twitter" button.

guys i'm so tired. but i'm doing my best. link click kouchan. i go clear app data for engstars, and after opening the app again, the support ticket i got was still there which is nice. i also get the tweeter log in screen again, nice. i also don't even get to log in because whatever browser engstars is using, it doesn't have javascript enabled so tweeter doesn't do anything :)))) i have to back out of the page, bringing me back to engstars and the, by now, very familiar "login failed" pop-up

that's where the story more or less ends? pauses? someone on the wiki server suggested to try login on the pc version so i let it do its downloading thing while i sat here writing this LOL it's done now. time to try that.

forgot the password for the account i was trying to get into DSGHSJDG anyway tweeter blocked my attempts because i had too many wrong ones. how long does it take until i can try again. whatever i'll end this post here... tell all your friends to keep your accounts safe because this is an absolute shitshow.

Hi! 👋

Do you have any recommendations on where to start with the sensei stuff from the ! era? Or is there a master list floating around somewhere? I just got into enstars a while ago and have been starving for old man content. I have no clue in hell where to look TT.

Have a good rest of your day/night!

hi anon! thank you for your ask and your interest in the senseis :)

enstars used to have a ton of translated stories on the wiki but until august 2021, translations were forced to be deleted by happy elements themselves. thankfully, some stories are uploaded on other sites.

here's a general timeline of sensei centric stories:

liar's idol (2016) -> the first sensei story to release on april fools. covers the foundations of jin and akiomi's dynamic (young and es1) and their idol philosophies and work ethics. cute old people reminiscing on their only youthful memories...

guilty of perjury (2017) -> the second sensei story to release on april fools. goes deeper into jin and akiomi's idol eras and the transition to a new era within the idol industry. more so focuses on jin's super idol perspective. this story was not uploaded to another site due to the translator's wishes. the way people have access to it is by using the wayback machine or through archives. please let me know through message or non-anon ask if you need help.

saga * rushing up rainbow stage (2018) [1] [2] -> aka rainbow. the third sensei story to be released as an actual ranking event. the first to not be an "april fools joke" and the first time and only time a sensei character was given a 5 star card. takes place in es1 era where jin takes up an idol project called "project saga". project saga was made to revive retired idols, to generalize. which he forms a temporary unit with chiaki, hokuto, and tori (rain-bows) while akiomi forcibly forms one with madara, mika, and sora (ba-barrier). not only is it the most important story in regards to sensei lore, but crucial to the development of every main cast character involved. i regard it as akira's magnum opus in enstars. it's 50 chapters long, but i promise you won't regret reading it.

saga * clashing rebirth live (2018-2019) -> aka saga. the sequel to rainbow, which seiya hidaka (hokuto's father) is introduced into the series to join project saga with jun and hiyori. it does focus more on eden and the main cast characters. i can't say much considering that the story isn't fully translated online, but i do think it's an important story in regards to how jin's relationships with jun and seiya are portrayed. it's still in the process of uploading chapters, so please support the proofer!

lullaby (2020) -> the first sensei centric (?) story to be released in es2 era on april fools! if you've seen the ensemble taisou mv, this is the related story for it. though, i do think it's more focused on jun rather than the senseis as a whole. considering that it is jun's fever dream! there are some interesting things revealed by akiomi towards the end of the story...

PORTRAIT (2022) -> this story was marketed to be a model trio story, but it's clear that it's... quite the akiomi centric event. akiomi shows up in all of the chapters except for one, which makes it funny that she's not the five star but a measly 3 star card (when it was released it... felt like a 5000 star card to me if i'm being honest). PORTRAIT is an extremely important akiomi centered story that reveals an immense amount of information regarding her model era, demeanor, worries, and goals at the time. it's also important since we never had a story that was so heavily centered on akiomi, especially with the fact that she wasn't a mere foil to jin this time. it reveals akiomi's importance to the model trio's lives and one of the leading reasons why she left the modeling industry. the first 3 chapters are translated however i cannot link the source publicly. like stated above, message or send a non-anon ask if you'd like to read it.

that's all the sensei centric stories! very crucial reads if you really want to get into the senseis.

however, there are also non-sensei centric stories that i consider to be supplemental reads:

test of courage (2015) -> 2wink centric story. foreshadows akiomi's past with jin, which was later revealed again in liar's idol! you can access that story through wayback machine.

good-for-nothing son and a bad teacher (2019) -> kaoru and jin centric gacha story. only 2 chapters long but drops a bomb on kaoru and jin's parallelisms in regards to their idol images....!? jin gives kaoru a hard-luck story that resonates deeply within him. kaoru finds great comfort in his words and even asks if he could talk to him again if he's having a hard time. it's way too important for the both of them... for a small two chapter story. i'm pretty sure this story is accessible through wayback machine as well. ** i have to warn you about sexual harassment in the first chapter. akira tends to use jin for sexual harassment jokes, where the story literally could've stayed the exact same if we didn't have those bits otherwise. akira does this multiple times and it's extremely ooc to jin's character. (tldr: blame the writer)

antique legend (2021) [available in engstars now!] -> a valkyrie and double face centric event. this was the event where jin and akiomi got their first ever es2 story cameos. they were essentially the spectators of the entire ordeal between the main units, filling in anzu what they know. they also have more personal statements and relate things back to their current working philosophies and how they're treated within the industry. seiya is also there. for what is a spoiler for me to say. but she doesn't directly talk to jin and akiomi in the story (neither do jin and akiomi interact with each other), so you get to see her talk to hokuto and anzu.

fragrance (2021) -> an arashi centric knights event. akiomi is the main cause of arashi's troubles due to the fact that she's offered a job from akiomi's "favorite" perfume company. this was the story where akiomi and arashi became closer to being equals. unfortunately, i can't say much. it's been a long time since i've read it. i'm probably getting punched somewhere...sorry guys... again, i cannot link the source publicly. message or send a non-anon ask if you'd like to read it.

SHINSEKAI (2021) -> a valkyrie and switch centric event. this story fully introduces the SSRVR system (a vr system created by switch). in this event, jin and akiomi were given 3 star cards and players were able to unlock their idol era homescreen outfits. jin and akiomi themselves weren't actually in the story. the idol era jin and akiomi you see in the story are actually just avatars in the vr game and were controlled by es employees. it was implied by natsume that jin permitted the use of his super idol avatar but under the condition that akiomi's idol era avatar would perform alongside him. natsume theorized that it might be because jin and akiomi never got the chance to perform together during their idol eras and wanted to see that dream manifested within vr. this is all you have to know about shinsekai in regards to jin and akiomi. -> seiya and gatekeeper were also there controlling the 2 madonee avatars. seiya also interacts with mika in accordance to his plans of making mika her successor. this story is not accessible, as it is locked.

as an elder (2021) -> madara featured scout 3 star idol story featuring ba-barrier! unfortunately, not all of them interact at once. in this story, madara asks akiomi for assistance with idol work. an argument over a cafe bill. it's a sweet story. give it a read!

bankara (2022) -> jun centric gacha story. this story essentially serves as the gateway for new fans to get a glimpse of what jin had to experience during his idol era. jin gets invited to an idol tv program and accidentally ends up at a female idol tv program... yeah. though, this is the story where tension between jin and jun begin to cease. jun is next in line for jin's hard luck stories and retorts to jin that he doesn't have to keep forcing himself to take up these idol jobs. bankara didn't offer anything new to the table for sensei fans but their interactions were very nice.

graduation (2023) [livetweet] -> third year students / trickstar centric event. due to supervillains' popularity and public desire for jin to show up in the show, rain-bows performs once again. reveals what jin knows about yumenosaki's current situation (more accurately lack of) and how he's taken care of subaru over the years.

phew... was starting to lose steam there, but i think that's everything i wanted to cover! i could cover every sensei appearance if i wanted to but let's not overdo it, me... i could answer questions and refer to them if needed though. but yes, these are all pretty important stories in my opinion. it's not much compared to other characters, but jin and akiomi are one of the best written characters in this franchise. i really hope you can come to appreciate them upon reading their stories.

this was very fun to answer though... it's nice to have these laid out on a list like this. i hope this could be useful for you and others who decided to give this a read!

if possible, for stories that aren't fully translated, it's possible to search up if someone made a livetweet thread. i'm pretty sure most es2 stories have livetweet threads. i don't have the energy to look all of them up right now, but it could be something i could do if asked directly.

if links are broken or need help retrieving a certain story, don't hesitate to reach out. thank you again for the ask!

for translators, if you would like me to remove a link leading to your translations, please reach out and i will.
