Uta no Prince-sama Shining Live released worldwide

Dee Dee · Dec 19, 2018

How are you guys doing in the event? I'm doing ridiculously better by merit of not wasting stamina on playing songs on easy this time around!

Also, not sure why they felt the need to give everyone 3 SR+ tickets, but I'll take them! Hm, maybe I should to hold on to them, in case they add the New Year's set any time soon...

ShyMel · Dec 19, 2018

So far I am doing okay in the event, got the first SR Cecil.

GKSilKamina · Dec 19, 2018

I haven't started yet! Fate/Grand Order's been keeping me busy.

I don't plan on going for the UR/SR this time around, but I would like to stock up on more prisms, LP, and special gems.

ShyMel · Dec 28, 2018

Was not going to do Masato's birthday shoot until I saw the first round was only 150 prisms.

Dedication Through Light · Dec 31, 2018

how new years going.

inner-G · Dec 31, 2018

Tbh I have no idea what this is but was kind of sad it's not a karaoke game with the prince from Katamari

GKSilKamina · Dec 31, 2018

Hot damn, those New Years banners. Megane Ranmaru looks amazing. Too bad I'm so low on prisms...

Dedication Through Light · Dec 31, 2018

no otoya after 5 draws. stop.

I stopped after two. I just do not want to spend money after that failing me before.

Sorry to hear that. That's a really cute Otoya too. :[

GKSilKamina · Jan 9, 2019

The next event's been revealed - A set event (GROSS, GIVE ME MORE COLLECTION EVENTS). Masato is the UR and Ai is the SR.

I love how the art on the URs keeps getting better and better. The colors for the new Masato UR are absolutely gorgeous. Since he's one of my best bois, I'll stop being lazy and participate in the event.

Also I need more prisms to get that damn New Years Megane Ranmaru. Rrrrrrghhhh

Dedication Through Light · Jan 9, 2019

The winter Ai was probably my favorite artwise for the event outfits. Loved the color and style.

Dee Dee · Jan 18, 2019

HAPPY NEW YEAR I GOT MEGANE RANMARU.

With that out of the way:

Discuss.

(This is some mighty thin ice to thread in an idol rhythm game, whoa boy...)

Dedication Through Light · Jan 18, 2019

nooooooooooo why do we have an otoya sr event when Im on a 3 week trip.

First collection event Ill actually do, he looks hot.

GKSilKamina · Jan 18, 2019

Bah! Thanks to my work schedule I wasn't able to get the event Masato. Welp, so much for that! How did everyone else do, for those of you who participated?

I've got some days off coming up, so I'll be going all in to grab that new Ren. And Otoya actually looks kind of cool for once.

Dedication Through Light · Jan 20, 2019

Spent 24.99 and got him finally. How awesome is that!

Dee Dee · Jan 20, 2019

Congrats, he is so cute!

I'm still pulling for New Year's Natsuki, send good waves.
I also still have the 350 LP from New Year's stocked up, so the farming for Ren can begin!

GKSilKamina · Jan 23, 2019

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to sign in during Camus' birthday. Never have I felt a deeper sense of shame.

*gasp*

This was actually the first time that I did all the birthday tasks, since the collection event let's you play any song.
I did one pull on his birthday step-up, but only got dupes. At least Ice Wing Camus is now level 45.
(I miss the SR ONLY song battle events, seeing cards I never use pop up in the auto team selection is my jam.)

Camus' birthday was also great because I got the last copy of monochrome AI needed to level him to max - I now have finally maxed out all the Rares!
I threw out all Rares and already expanded my inventory 3 times, but there's never enough room. I don't want to part with maxed out SRs because of the Song Battle event. :L

GKSilKamina · Jan 23, 2019

Yeah, it's gotten to the point where I dump R cards after maxing them out. The game's drowning in SRs and boosting your inventory space is pricey (10 prisms for five slots?! Bleh!). Plus there really isn't any use for Rs gameplay-wise once you start amassing an army of URs and SRs.

By the way, when was the last time the story mode got updated? Feels like it's been a while.

GKSilKamina · Jan 26, 2019

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

Hard to believe a year's already passed since I started playing. I woke up to find a rather thirsty message from Ranmaru: "Seems we've been together for a year. That's not long enough for me, though."

Uhuhu.

Also, look who finally decided to give me a UR after all this time:

IT ONLY TOOK A YEAR, AI.

Dee Dee · Jan 29, 2019

I spent a night grinding out the Collection event, just to place at rank 800. Never again.

I was also very disappointed that all we got for the global anniversary was a stupid rate up banner (not even discounted or anything), but I guess I can't be mad any longer.

Prince Natsuki still playing hard to get though. :L
Since he won't be in the first half of the new Valentine's banner, maybe I can save up for one last pull on the prince banner before it goes away (for another 2 months or so).

GKSilKamina · Jan 31, 2019

THAT.
BLUSHING.
TOKIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

Most of the new Valentine cards are kind of whatever, but that Tokiya UR. Mmmrrghh!

Also, did you see? They added a new feature - if you pull an SR on the new banner, it's guaranteed to be from the new set. I wish they implemented this sooner. There are several banners in the past where I'd get multiple SRs... and none of them would be any of the new photos.

Dee Dee · Feb 1, 2019

Any SR or just the guaranteed SR from the 11-pull?

This Natsuki event UR is so nice, but I wasted all my LP on the Ren Collection event (need more yellow +1 URs).
I think he's considering a divorce.

Dedication Through Light · Feb 1, 2019

Ugh couldnt get the new sr otoya on the new banner in two draws.

1 - Just the guaranteed from the 11-pull.

2 - You need to win Natsuki's love back by either buying a bunch of prisms and trading those for LP to do his event or importing some of his song CDs if you haven't already!

3 - Oh god, I just saw the new event UR/SR photos. Kitsune Natsuki and Tanuki Reiji! Hnnnnnnnnnnnngh! Don't do this to me, Klab.

4 - Oh shit, the UR Valentine pair is Camus! HNNNNNNNGH!!! DON'T DO THIS TO ME, KLAB!!!

I'm wearing his sweater! I'm wearing it!!!

I may need to buy a second sweater after this event to apologize, lol, I'm doing terrible and just failed another song on Pro. 75 LP down the drain.

ShyMel · Feb 13, 2019

I did not realize until backing out of the Valentine's event store that the LP packs in it were automatically used. Oh well I got the other extra items and now have enough presents for each guy.

Dee Dee · Feb 13, 2019

Yeah, same happened to me. I just ended up playing "Lost Alice" and "Non-Fiction" a lot and still consider it a great investment therefore.

Did one 11-pull on the new Valentine's banner and got 1 SR. Was pretty salty until the SR turned into Valentine's Natsuki, who has very cute idolized card art. I have another 400 prisms left now, and no need to pull further. No complaints!

GKSilKamina · Feb 14, 2019

Now, you may have noticed there's a new Camus banner active. And you may be wondering if I managed to pull that sweet, sweet UR. The answer?

Yes.

As an added bonus, I even pulled his Valentine's SR from last year, which I'd been insanely butthurt over not getting this whole time. He's so good to meeeeee!

AW YEAH, BABY, THE COLLECTION KEEPS GROWING:

PS - Nabbed the kitsune Natsuki UR from his last event. I will never remove that outfit from him. NEVER.

PS PS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, REN!!!

Dee Dee · Feb 14, 2019

Congrats on getting the angry two-faced boy with the nice hair!

Also, happy birthday, Ren. Sorry I didn't have time to do all your birthday missions...

Dee Dee · Feb 16, 2019

So Tokiya is basically Naruto, yeah?

GKSilKamina · Feb 16, 2019

I'm kinda bummed Tokiya's the new UR and not that amazing demon Ranmaru.

But I'm sure there are countless Tokiya fans out there who'd disagree with me. Two Toki URs in a month? They must be in heaven.

GKSilKamina · Mar 1, 2019

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKAZE!!!

Anyone pull on his birthday banner? I did and managed to get one of those wonderful R-to-UR flips. Got his Prince UR, which is the exact one I wanted.

From zero Ai URs to two in a month. What a time to be alive.

Also, thoughts on the new Easter set? Absolutely love the Masato UR. And something about Easter Bunny Tokiya cracks me up.

ShyMel · Mar 13, 2019

Once I got Ai's UR in the exchange shop last night, I threw in the towel for the event versus trying to climb up the ranks.

Dee Dee · Mar 23, 2019

I'm back from Japan!
RIP my savings.

I bought approximately a billion UtaPri blind boxes, help.

Anyone want any of these? For free, just PM me.
(Natsuki, Reiji and Ranmaru I'll probably keep for myself, I also have some extra Masato keychains not in the picture!)

GKSilKamina · Mar 25, 2019

Japan?! So that's where you've been hiding! Did you go to any UtaPri events (if there were any, that is)?

That's a pretty good haul of goodies. Hopefully Natsuki is pleased and will bless you by coming home whenever his next banner comes up.

Also a little while ago I decided to take a break from the game. I logged in today to see a Camus event halfway over. Don't think I've ever screamed internally so hard in my life. Hauling ass right now to play catch up and add that UR to my collection.

ALSO ALSO it seems once again Otoya's VA has earned us all some free 11-pulls. No info on when they'll be available just yet. I hope they turn "FREE SHIT COURTESY OF OTOYAN" into an annual thing.

Dee Dee · Mar 25, 2019

The event is quite something!

I had to play catch up a bit as well, since the event started while I was on a plane back home, and I missed around... 20h of it while traveling. Argh.
I will get this Dr Camus, and if it costs me my sanity (jetlag is real, I'm always tired). I can make a full Camus team after this!

Do you want the Camus pins? PM me your address, I'll send them to you - I can't really do much with all these goodies, I really overdid it and am drowning in merch.
I even got this:

Why yes, it's a Shining Academy school uniform, of course. (Help, I'm broke.)

GKSilKamina · Mar 25, 2019

Wow, the uniform too?! You sure went all out.

And message sent~

Dee Dee · Mar 25, 2019

To be fair, I spent more at the Square Enix Café on meh food alone than on UtaPri merch, lol. Pricey, but also dumb!
I got the Cosplay second hand for approx. 15€, I couldn't resist.
Unfortunately, no UtaPri events while I was there - there was an Idolish7 event café at the SEGA arcade near where I lived though. The queue was insane.
There was a new Heavens mini album out, and they are starting to relase new singles from the Starish boys in May (Otoya is first).
The bigger anime idol bands in terms of store presence where clearly Idolish7 and some weird thing called "Division Rap Battle", which seemed to be a Tokyo exclusive thing:

Dedication Through Light · Mar 26, 2019

I just WANT OTOYA!!! Im over 3000 prisms in and I still ahvent got him. Meanwhile I get something like this today. go away.

how to get otoyas?

Dee Dee · Mar 31, 2019

This year's April Fool's joke puts the boys in fruit and vegetable outfits, which will never top the fabulous fake RPG they made last year. :/

Edit: I'll give them props for making a Bananmaru though.

Edit2: Oh dang, the ingame April Fool's event is a collab with Ensemble Stars!! :0

GKSilKamina · Mar 31, 2019

I think there would've been riot in the streets if Ranmaru wasn't a banana.

Did anyone pull on the new banner yet? I wanted Ranmaru and Cecil but ended up getting Reiji and Tokiya. Oh well...

Also for the last event, I like that Camus' idea of advertising to children is to take advantage of how scary they find him and threaten to murder them if they don't behave.

Also bless Cecil for saying what I was thinking during that whole story:

And finally, the updated UR collection:

ShyMel · Apr 1, 2019

Gosh I hope Otoya gets an event UR soon. Much easier to guarantee I get that over the shoot URs.

GKSilKamina · Apr 1, 2019

I imagine he would soon. It's been a while since his last event, hasn't it?

Dee Dee · Apr 1, 2019

There's 4 Camus Event URs and only 1(!) Otoya event UR. We're really overdue for one. I guess they want to pile on everything at once with the current banner and his birthday pull?

GKSilKamina · Apr 8, 2019

Next event's announced and iiiiiiit's... Syo. RIP Otoyan and Ranmaru fans.

As nice as the card is, I don't know if I have it in me to do another setlist event after the last one. Where are the collection events, KLab? Wheeeeeere?

ALSO IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME THEY ADDED ANOTHER R SET. Sheesh! I was starting to think they forgot about R cards and the main story.

ShyMel · Apr 9, 2019

Well at least Otoya's birthday is around the corner so I dump prisms into his shoot and hope for the best.

Dee Dee · Apr 9, 2019

Ranmaru still has 2 event URs while Otoya only has 1, so weird to see people rage for Ran, when poor Otoya is the one that really got shafted.
His JP event URs are so cool too, they should just bring those over. Syo only had 2 as well, so not sure why people expected Ran over him.

Also, I'm saving prisms for pet Natsuki on the next part of the monthly banner, if he comes home quickly, maybe I'll try again for his prince UR on the Shining Banner. *sigh*
I'll definitely do one pull on Otoya's birthday banner too, I still need to max out some of his SRs.
