The fact we got Reiji, Ranmaru, and Ai's solo previews before the group song is so wild. AND Reiji and Ranmaru's b-side previews. And those CDs don't start releasing until February!

Waiting until a week before the CD comes out is wild man.

Also reminder since this is a main theme, it will likely be on Spotify/Youtube Music instead of purchasable on iTunes. I'll double check when it comes out (and I have time because Christmas), but that's what should happen.

The Quartet Night TABOO NIGHT XXXX song preview is finally out! The CD releases a week from now on 12/25!

6 Month Anniversary Celebration (Part 3)

Here's the third and final part of the 6 month anniversary updates.

Login Bonus:

Log into the game before the 22nd of December to receive 1000 Wish Tones celebrating the broadcast of 'Find the Music ~ Winter Party'.

Costumes:

The costumes for the initial UR pieces will have alternate colour variations become available. As seen in the above image, Starish swaps the brown and white accents, Quartet Night's change from grey to white with grey accents, and Heavens receives a cool-toned grey instead of the default blue. *This will be added in a Spring update.

Extra Difficulty:

Above Expert, a new 'Advanced' difficulty level featuring 8 note lanes for live songs will be added to the game. It seems that it may be added to only a few songs initially, with more to come over time.

Camera Mode:

An AR camera mode allowing you to take photos with your idols will be added. It can be assumed this will be similar to the camera mode in Shining Live.

They will be available beginning on the 16th of December at 12:00 JST.

Here is the second half of the information released to celebrate Live Emotion's 6 month anniversary! The following updates will be implemented after maintenance on December 13th.

Two new monthly sets (Monthly Live Support Set (M), and Monthly Live Support Set (L)) will be added to the shop.

*High scores and combos for songs that have already been cleared will not be reset, but it seems you will gain the new rewards.

Both Piece Story episodes 1 and 2, and Private Stories will now reward 50 wish tones each, and the rewards for Piece Story episode 3 will be raised to 50 wish tones.

[sewmice]

Rewards have been updated again. UR coin has been pushed down a bit as now 1000 wish tones is now the 250k reward. Which is actually pretty nice.

I was looking at when all the Animate lottery stuff is due (should I actually win an A prize) and was like "Oh good! The application period ends after the next CD releases! So I can ship in pairs and save money!" BUT NO. Because shipping with the proxy in question will take like a week (like it did with the Solo Best CDs). And that'll be too late!!!

So I'll have to ship individually.....6 different CDs.....On the off chance I win.....That's so expensive....

More Quartet Night CDs for the TABOO NIGHT XXXX movie have been announced!

Starting on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, solo CDs, duet CDs, and medley CDs of the four members will be released every other week for three consecutive months! You can find the list of CDs, songs, and all details at the website here!

They release in standard order, Reiji through Camus. Then the duet CD with a Reiji and Ranmaru duet, and Ai and Camus duet. Just like SAMURAIZM and UUUU, there is a special edition for each pair but the tracks are the same. The final CD is new medley songs. This contains 1 more Quartet Night song, and then 1 more song per boy with the other 3 as backup vocal/chorus.

All of the solo CDs come with 1 drama track, and the duet and medley CDs have multiple drama tracks.

Ordering each CD through Animate JP or Broccoli before January 26th will get you a special clear card for that CD. Ordering all 6 CDs through Animate JP or Broccoli will get you special bonuses. Animate has an autograph board and 7 CD storage box (you only have to order 1 version of the duet CD, but it will fit both if you get both). And Broccoli will have a drama CD. And then there's lottery prizes from the Animate CDs. This is all very similar to how it was with the QN Solo Best CDs.

All of these CDs should release as usual on US iTunes as well. The only exception will be the previously announced Quartet Night TABOO NIGHT XXXX CD which will likely be streaming only on Spotify and YouTube Music.

They announced the rest of the Quartet Night movie cds. I'll maybe try and make a nicer post later. For now, here's the tweet.

NEW SK8 PV!

We finally have new art!! They've released a new trailer with glimpses of the OVA!

(https://x.com/sk8_project/status/1855037591726559327)

They also gave us some descriptions of the stories! Here are my translations of them!

Rain and Cats, convenience store ice cream, soda flavored

One Sunday, Reki, Langa, and Miya were at the skate park, as usual, when they are caught in a sudden downpour. They take shelter at Reki's house, and end up playing karuta with deck they find there--!?

Someday we'll be able to become serious

We go back in time to when Sakurayashiki and Nanjo were high school students living in obscurity. They're still competing with each other as usual, but after a series of competitions, the conclusion they arrive at is...

Morning Routine

This is a story that reveals just a tiny bit of the mysterious daily life of Ainosuke and Kikuchi-- They each have their secret routines, when there's a crossover between the two, and then a certain someone appears.

Do your best Hiromi-chan!

By night, he is an anti-hero, Shadow. By day, he works hard at a flower shop. These are three short stories that capture the daily life of the precious and kind Hiromi.
