To get the SR card, you need 13000 points this time.
Last time it was 15000.
I can average around 1200 points per day, so this is reachable.

You get points for the "books" you tap during each song,
normal is 10, hard is 15 (plus 1 bonus), etc..
Then you play the "tokubetsu" song for this event "Love Novels",
which requires 15 points for easy, 30 for normal, 45 for hard.
When you clear this song, you get around 60 points for easy,
130 for normal, 200 for hard.  0 if you fail.
I can clear easy and normal, but I can't do the hard.

| So levelling up the girls will make you score higher in songs?

Yes.
The score for the song depends on the total score of the girls,
depending on the type of song (smile/pure/cool).
You need to make teams for smile/pure/cool.

| "normal" recruiting (not using stones)?

You can get R cards, but it's very rare.
I think for newer players it's easier to get R cards.
This week, with my iphone (rank 50) I didn't get any R cards,
but with my android (rank 24) I got several R cards.

Also if you joined recently, you're getting 3 stones per day!
I think they are trying to let the new android players catch up
to the iphone players..
You can use these to get the R cards quickly.

| Any reason to add friends in this game?  The game wants you to do it
| but there are only 10 or so friend slots.

When your level goes up you get more slots.
I have slots for 20 friends at rank 50.

It's good to have friends (you can use them once per day)
who have good cards, as your total points go up.
I try to even out the types of friends (smile/pure/cool).
But of course they can always change their main card.

My cards suck so I'm a bad friend.. (^_^;
But my ids are 448429962 and 024641886.

I tried that with my tablet.  Works ok, but the android tap delay
is just too bad.  The ipad might be better..
But for me, my main game is on the iphone.
