I got Mikazuki twice. Both times I used the 660/660/760/760 recipe and fuji ema (was going for Kogi the 2nd time). Not to mention it took me only 2 times with that recipe and ema to get him twice. It wasn't twice in a row. There was about a 5-6 day span between both attempts.

I actually recommend purchasing the DMM points to use for ema (pine and bamboo worked for the others outside of Mikazuki with the 550/660/660/550 ratio for the tachis), as I got all of the 4 & 5 rares within a couple of days and during my first week of playing. I'm only missing Kogi, and have doubles of Mikazuki, Ichigo, Tsurumaru and Hotoramaru. Though I got lucky and got Hotoramaru with the 550/650/650/550 ratio (without ema) and within a few days of each other.
