I've had this reflection sitting in my phone for more than a year, though I have never felt the desire to share my experience with atapon event running in Starlight Stage nor did I really know which outlet would be the best to share these thoughts through. I initially did not want to share my experience on this website since it is mainly devoted to my views on the different anime I watch. Talking about a idol-based rhythm tap game didn't fit the mold of this blog. However I am sharing this now more than a year later since the event concluded, simply because I feel like sharing this very unique experience. My main hobbies are anime and playing games, so why not share something a bit different on here outside of the anime sphere. I have given this reflection a bit of a facelift after reading the initial draft I wrote a year ago, just to provide some additional perspective through the lens of the game in 2022 and my overall view on competitive event ranking in this game.
