You's hair color is like Kotori (the characters have some similarities too), but Hanamaru's
is more brown.  Also, You has blue eyes, but Hanamaru has yellow eyes (like Rin).

I wonder why they put them so close together?  That doesn't seem to make sense, from
an advertising perspective.

I don't think it's necessarily an Aqours > Muse issue.  There are a lot of Muse songs,
and the earlier ones were much easier, because they started making the songs harder
as the players got better.  Some of the later ones are more difficult, like
Moment Ring, or the end of Zurui Yo Magnetic Today.  I still haven't comboed Mi Wa
Music No Mi or Super Love = Super Live or Psychic Fire, and have played them a lot
of times.  Or any of the 'flame' songs, though I'm getting really close on Anemone

Heart. 

On the Aqours side, am definitely still working on the OP, and on Strawberry Trapper.
Most of the Pure songs are pretty easy, though.  Think I'm still working on Todokanai
Hoshi Da To Shite Mo, as well.  And I always manage to choke something in Koi
Ni Naritai Aquarium.  Can't recall if Genki Zenkai Day Day Day is a FC yet, I think
it isn't.

The insert song from episode 6 (which is in the Special section) reminds me of playing
Sentimental Steps, both in patterns and in difficulty level.  Could probably FC it
on a regular basis with enough practice.  Got it on the second try, but haven't
gotten it again yet, so maybe it's a little harder than that.  Sentimental Steps is
pretty much an auto FC, up there with Baby Maybe Koi No Button. Both of those were
available on EN recently, so are fresh in my mind... I played them for the FC for

the daily loveca, as EN still has to do the whole "practice 5 members, recruit three
members, play 5 songs, and then get an FC" routine for the daily loveca.


> But the two Aqours event songs were very easy..


Yes, they were.
