Stories

English Translations of Tenirabi Stories

Great news! @electrolimes has kindly assembled a directory of English translations for event stories, card stories, character stories, etc. It's an incredible resource! Much thanks to the translators out there.

The stories are the best source of inspiration in our opinion. They have fantastic content. It's highly recommended that you check them out.

Cards

Holycow's Tenirabi Gallery

This gallery assembled by Holy is a beautiful, comprehensive list of all of the cards in tenirabi. You can find most character cards here.


-OTHER RESOURCES-

-The Japanese Tenirabi Wiki is a good source for finding permanent cards, event cards, and situation cards. It's in Japanese, but this website has most card images and they have image icons that make it easy to search by event and character.

-Tumblr is another good resource. Try searching the tenirabi tag or a character's tag often produces results.

-If you just need inspiration, try the official twitter account where they post the images as samples.

-If all else fails, just ask around on twitter or search the #risingbeat tag from around the date of the event using advanced search.

Note: HD images of most unawakened event cards can be found in the event stories for that card, though it might require digging.

Myspaces

Submissions of decorated myspaces are open until December 10th.

To submit a myspace, email them to tenirabizine(at)gmail(dot)com

General Zine Information

–What is 'tenirabi'?
Tenirabi is a nickname for Shintenisu no Ouji-sama: RisingBeat, a mobile rhythm/gacha game centered around the series New Prince of Tennis. It is also referred to as RisingBeat.

–What if I don't draw, write, or cosplay? Can I still contribute?
Yes! You can submit screenshots of your decorated myspace. It doesn't even require filling out a standard application. Just e-mail the myspace screenshots to tenirabizine(at)gmail(dot)com.

–What are the rules for applying?
Check out the guidelines.

–I don't know if I want to apply because I'm busy. When will the zine be released?
Understandable, Tenirabi is a very demanding game. Tenirabi's 3rd Anniversary falls late November, but the zine is scheduled to release a bit later, shortly before New Years.
Final pieces will be due December 6th.

–When can I apply?
Applications open on August 28th and close on September 20th. Assignments will be given out the week after applications close. Myspace submissions and the fan polls are open until December 10th.

THE VISION

Tenirabi is a broad theme– it covers basically everything at U-17 Camp. The options for zine content are wide and large. For a better idea of dreams and expectations, please read on.

Guidelines

  • Must only contain characters present or mentioned in the game.

  • Rated T for teens- spicy content is allowed, but nothing nsfw.

  • Have a clear reference. This isn't required, but ideally each piece should be able to cite inspiration from an in-game screenshot.

  • Zine content will be in the spirit of Tenirabi Canon*.

  • Be respectful of your fellow gamers.

  • All content will be never-before-seen, published for the first time in the Tenirabi Zine.

  • For content/format guidelines, see Media Types.

Ideas & Examples

Note: You are not limited to these suggestions! They're just ideas. The only purpose of this list is to provide inspiration.

First, be sure to check out last year's Tenirabi Zine!

Costume design

Take inspiration from an event outfit or event aesthetic, design an outfit for other characters or spin off the character in the card.

Illustrate a story

There are plenty of cute or fun moments in stories that don't revolve around a card. One idea is to illustrate them. (Find stories.)

Base it off a myspace

Whether it's a paintball fight, a garden lunch, a little home you've designed for your favorites, whatever you can come up with– the myspace feature can make excellent inspiration. Story telling or an art setting, there are a ton of directions to go with this.

~ Let the chibis inspire you! ~

Tell a story about a bonus team

Not all the bonus teams are just classmates, room mates, team mates, etc. There are plenty of interesting combinations to think about.

Gakuto, Yagyuu, and Kaidou are all afraid of ghosts, for example.

These three all have pet beetles:

Myspace Gallery

A section of the zine will feature submissions of lovely decorated myspaces, so spice the place up and send in some screenshots!

Anything else you can think of? Do it for the zine!

See the Media Type Guide for specific information about zine content.

*Tenirabi Canon/Tenirabi AU

All events and stories in RisingBeat take place at the U-17 Training Camp. The context of these events seems to be:

.

  • All of the anime series, starting with Prince of Tennis (except for the fillers in the original anime, Josei Shounan, Rikkai arc and beyond).

  • Nationals, Another Story OVAs

  • The events of New Prince of Tennis up until the end of the vs. Genius 10 OVA (So, all of the New Prince of Tennis anime)

  • The British Castle Movie has been acknowledged.

— — —
This makes up the history of Tenirabi Canon (aka the Tenirabi Alternate Universe).

The rest of Tenirabi Canon is made up of any content, information, and stories released in the game.
— — —

Note: This definition is more important to keep in mind for fics/comics than for single art pieces or other content. AU fanfiction and comics will be accepted as long as they involve only characters in the Tenirabi Canon and are directly inspired by an event, event aesthetic, card, or other piece of Tenirabi Canon.
