Honorable mentions to @yubutek and @verlexin for taking the runner-up positions in this contest.

Server Election Results: The winners of the Camellia server’s 4th round of elections are none other than Team Pancakes! With the aid of their mascot, Cirno, they’ve defeated the opposing Team Waffles by a significant number of votes. Congratulations~

Camellia Jeopardy: Sponsored by @burst06, we have pitted Team Final-Boss Clan against Team Ashed Chicken Wings in an exciting trivia game all about Camellia, with Final-Boss Clan barely managing to snag victory at the very end!

🚀 Server News:

Staff Updates: Our former admin, Ungrave, and elder mod, Peachy, have decided to step down from server management duties to focus on other priorities. We send them our best wishes. We also had the great pleasure of finding new and willing volunteers to help with our work; welcome in our new helper @moonthedarkwolf and our new moderators @avidmusicenjoyer., @piavamusic, and @manutoad! Let’s also congratulate @gridgalaxy for his promotion to moderator.

Thank you for reading this edition of Camellia Monthly. We hope you enjoyed it. Remember to “keep on rockin’”!

January 2024

Happy New Year everyone! Camellia has managed to up the BPM once more and kick 2024 off with several bangers, and we’d love to see it! So how did he do it? Let’s find out!

Camellia News

“Sage” joins Proseka: Project Sekai gains a new chart in the form of Camellia’s song “Sage” from Maimai! With a challenging Append difficulty at level 35, it’s a unique and difficult song that’ll be sure to give you a run for your money!

New Releases

Jay Eazy - Mega Man (Camellia Remix): I was never book smart; I’m money smart, makes me more intelligent 🗣️ 🗣️ ‼️ ‼️ 🔥 🔥 Check out this short little remix of Jay Eazy’s rap song “Mega Man” here on YouTube!

Daten Dance (堕天ダンス): Camellia collaborates with VTuber and singer Amanofu Stella on a catchy new electro swing track!

Hello BPM 2024: Tick tock, the metronome is ticking faster! With the introduction of the new year comes the fourth installment of the Hello BPM series. This BPM-shifting extratone song’s sure to make your ears (and every rhythm gamer’s hands and fingers) bleed!

Chocolat Cadabra (ショコラカタブラ): LOTTE’s chocolate celebrates its 60th anniversary! What better way to commemorate than by creating a one of a kind, banger joint song between Ado (singer), Taku Inoue (composer), and Camellia (lyricist) for a Studio Trigger MV?

Camellia ft. Nanahira - MAXIMUM CHEAT GIRL: Wow, another Nanahira collab! Who would’ve guessed? You can unlock this song in Beatmania IIDX’s newest event, so get out there and show Camellia your chea—we mean, pro gamer moves!

Lioness’ Pride Bandori Cover: BanG Dream! collabs with Shishiro Botan on a new cover of her hit song “Lioness’ Pride” with Camellia! You can find this new arrangement over here!

Server Events

Server Elections: It’s that time again for breakfast elections - waffles vs. pancakes! Show some love to your favorite breakfast item by voting for your preferred team here! Feel free to share the poll around and garner support. There are still 9 days left to cast your vote!

Server Updates

New Staff: Let’s welcome in our newly-promoted Temp-Admin @thecodingguy and Helper @hypertone

Current State of the Camellia Wiki: The Camellia Wiki has seen some new updates and bug fixes! We’ve been hard at work with our newest feature, “Comments!” You can seek a preview on our Beta View of the wiki! This will eventually be merged into the main live branch. See something missing? Read our contributing article to get started!

Archival of News and Releases JP: We’ve decided to merge the EN and JP news as a means of consolidating all the information into a single channel. Now, it looks more concise!

Return of Suggestion Forums: Missed the suggestion forums? Did we not see your suggestion? Not to worry! Now, with the ⁠#💡suggestion-forums back, no suggestions will be missed!

AI “Art” Restrictions: AI-generated artwork will no longer be allowed in art channels. Why? We feel that it brings a level of “cheating” when artists spend years refining their art, whereas AI can do it in just seconds, primarily by using said artists’ work for reference without authorization. While AI artwork is not allowed in the art channels, the rest of the server should not be affected. Still, we strongly discourage the use of AI content.

December 2023

With 2023 finally ending, let’s take a moment to think about all that’s gone on this year… For now, though, let’s review what happened in the last month of the year: December!

December 2023 Monthly Logo

We’re back to the canvas again, with more Camellia to be drawn

After all the spooky and birthday spirit shown in everyone’s drawings back in the previous drawing contest, we’ve put you all to the test of Christmas spirit by providing some festive and jolly entries for the winter drawing event! You still have until January 10th to submit a drawing, so time is still available to make a masterpiece!

TANO*C TOUR 2024

It has recently been revealed that Camellia will play at the TANO*C TOUR 2024 live event this year, taking place at the EX Theater Roppongi in Tokyo on June 8th! If you can’t catch the event in person, the set will be uploaded to the official HARDCORE TANO*C YouTube channel at a to-be-determined date after the event. For more info, please visit the official event website.

Tokyo e-Sports Festa 2024

Even more recently, Camellia revealed his appearance as a performer on TEF2024, with him taking place at the Tokyo Big Sight on January 27th! It will be broadcasted on platforms like their Youtube channel, so even if you can’t attend in person, you won’t have to miss out on the show! For more info, please visit the official event website.

New Releases

Nobody Christmas: Camellia started off December with a spooky & festive collab with Yuzuki Choco, establishing another winter song in his discography, one to succeed his collab with Nanahira four years ago, “But I’m Not Interested In Christmas At All”!

Tempo Katana: Camellia has returned to kill everyone’s arms with a new song from Beat Saber OST 6! Charted to nearly the brim of difficulty in any of the official charts, prepare for a harsh 9.02 notes per second blasting at anyone who dares attempt the Expert+ difficulty…

Snacko Remixes: In an unexpected twist, Camellia has taken the time and harvested seven new remixes for the Snacko OST by Dale North. The game is still being worked on, but in the meantime, support Snacko in its preparation for a fresh, early release!

Antineutrino Witchcraft: What’s an osu! tournament without a custom-made Camellia song at the end? In a collaborative effort with the EGCS team & Transendium, Camellia officially revealed this brutal, raw finale of a song for the EGCS 2023 Grand Finals Tiebreaker! For all osu!catch players, prepare with however many fingers you need to use because no mercy was shown in the song’s map

Sugoi Invincible: In collaboration with Panno Mimimi, Camellia pushes through the month by producing a chaotic-yet-catchy song! You can view Panno-San’s YouTube channel here.

In Other News

Server Stuff

Mimu’s Shop Revamp

While introducing the new economy and brand new shop with release roles was great, there was room for improvement. Throughout a couple of weeks, with the help of you guys providing feedback on tons of new additions to the shop and reworks regarding the shop’s pricing, we were able to completely rehaul everything our shopkeeper, Mimu, had to provide when it first started selling to you guys! (Thanks to @H.I.P.E for their work on role icons and everyone who contributed in #💡server-direction)!

A Shifting Staff Team

The past month or two have seen a few significant changes in the staff team, including the arrival (and departure) of some friends over at the Nanahira server, as well as the resignation of Chai, who was a major contributor to past editions of this very article you’re reading. Although we have seen many friends join and leave our ranks, rest assured that those of us here will continue to do our best to ensure this server is a place you all will enjoy being in.

For 2024, we’re also applying a ton of different things! Including

  1. Enforcing the new Staff Guidelines
  2. Removing @Challenges Judge, @Minecraft Helper and, @Event Organizer in favor of @Community Contributor (this update is still not immediate because we have @Toxism still relying on @Challenges Judge for now).
  3. Implementing Ko-fi community funding.
  4. @papertek “Pinging everyone is nono, only for Camellia Monthly” Pinging everyone is nono, only for Camellia monthly & genuinely Crucial situations/problems that affect the server*

And more to come. :)

P.S

If you want a piece of the action, staff applications are still open! We’d love to see you on board, so feel free to check it out if you’d like.

Thank you all for a great 2023, let’s work together to have even more fun in 2024!

Song Releases - October

Hou { Phoenix }: Camellia didn’t seem satisfied breaking our hands… so now he’s targeting our legs… The man has created a monster of a track in DDR A3’s “Babylon’s Galaxy” event as the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE! Good luck to all those dancers; don’t break too many legs!

i - ii: What’s an IIDX game without Camellia in it? Bringing in his banger hi-tech psy style, get those DJ hands ready for some Metro Techno action with this unlockable song!

New Staff Members

Some of you might notice that three new admins have joined us - @azunyan0007, @ungrave, and @nicocchi_, have come over from the Nanahira community to offer help! Feel free to welcome them if you see them interacting in general chat. With them helping out, our admin team now forms a cool heptagon (probably a more relaxed shape than a square?). We’re grateful they’ll be volunteering their time to help all of us out, and we look forward to working with them!

Staff and Rules Updates

We have cut down many rules and combined some to make things more sane for new and existing members (from 17 down to 7!). We also added some clarification on current disclaimers as well as old ones. Please give them a read: #🧾rules-and-info. In parallel, we have also updated the Staff Guidelines again, adding an entirely new section to it. An autobiography/transparency document was also uploaded by papertek, documenting his time in the community. Lastly, server moderation systems have switched off from Dyno to Wick. The full announcement is here. With these changes and updates, we hope you enjoy your time in the server even more~

Chinese Thread

After some pestering from server members, we’ve created the new Chinese thread. Camellia的行政人员都想让我写一个好笑的信息,因此我现在想说他们都是有特别毛病的人-

Aesthetic Changes

It’s time to spice things up with new-level role names and colors! We hope this will bring a fresh new look to parts of the server. We also took the time to add some icons to the side of channels and change up the welcome message in #👋hello-there. As always, we welcome your suggestions on these changes in #💡server-direction. We hope you enjoy the improvement! Cheers to next month~

September 2023

It’s time to get spooky, everyone, because Halloween is near, and your September monthly is here!
