I found the names of lots of Rhythm Tengoku characters, but not the Bon Dancers'.

I think they're collectively known as ドンパンズ (Donpans) but then went pro under the name ぼんおとり娘 (Bon'odori Musume).

I'm asking about the individual girls' names.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm saying they're probably only known as that collectively. I can't find anything even on the Japanese side of the Internet.

Well, that's sad. Even the Dazzlies got names of their own. Thanks for trying to help, though.

IDK about the names, but that is probably my favorite rhythm feaver/tengoku minigame(?) out there, just for the song alone.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, the song is a good one. However, the game itself... (help me I've been trying for months to get a OK on it now)

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago

Definitely. Watching a video on someone getting perfect makes it seem so easy, but then I try it and it goes completely downhill almost immediately.

I have no idea, but I just want to say I fucking adore this game and it warms my heart to see someone talking about it.

Yeah, a fellow Rhythm Tengoku fan! It's been real hard to find these today.
