Really well done in every way! The only thing I can think to critique is visual clarity. Having 5 upcoming hands, all largely white, displayed so close to each other, makes understanding what's going on at a glance quite difficult. I think it would still be plenty challenging even if you made each gesture and rule set more visually apparent, such as by displaying fewer upcoming hands, spacing them further apart, and/or darkening them slightly as you move towards the back. Also, unless there is a specific reason as to why you picked Miko and Aki (maybe I'm missing the reference here?), I'd pick holomems with more contrasting color schemes for the other two hands. Still, A+!

Thanks for playing! Very good points you've made! Absolutely agree that visual indicators should be clearer and should space out more to reduce clutter.
As for choosing Miko and Aki, it was mainly because they are the members that are the most involved (from my knowledge) with tsunomaki janken during that era.
For Aki, Watame would sometimes have Mukirose take over her Janken segment. Her segment would usually involve a "pose", and any hand viewers play would be a losing hand (this couldnt be implemented for obvious reason, so I went with the compromise of "posing with her")

As for Miko, her livestream would usually overlap with Watame's show during that time. Whenever it happens, she would livestream her "reaction" to it, and would play along during the Janken segment. Running joke is on her lose rate on these live, which is amazing honestly looking back.

Did try to make it more visually obvious by having a somewhat different skin tone (Miko's is darker than Watame's) and a differently drawn hand pose for each character. Maybe they could also have a striking colored outline to increase the visual clarity.
Thanks for your valuable feedback!
