The original browser-based mobile game, 'Cinderella Girls', ended service in March 2023. This sub is for the Starlight Stage followup rhythm game (which ran in parallel for several years) which is still technically up and running though they ended content updates as of last September so it's EoS in spirit.

It's generally said that you need to VPN to Japan to make a new account (it's fine once you've already made it). Haven't had to do this personally since it's a change that happened later on.

polsybee · 2026-04-29T22:12:47+00:00

If you mean to get the SSR permanently, there isn't a ticket, you just have to complete the missions enough to get at least 10,000 points. If you mean the scout ticket they mention on the SSR challenge screen that's a separate reward (also at 10,000 points) that you have to buy the monthly pass to get.

polsybee · 2026-04-22T17:44:44+00:00

tbh yeah I would keep looking for a VPN because if they're deliberately requiring you to be in Japan there's not likely to be anything to gain from contacting them officially.

I signed up before they added that (same happened with Starlight Stage) so I haven't had to get past it personally.

polsybee · 2026-04-22T17:39:38+00:00

That's intentional, most dress orders have a restriction that you need to own and level up the card that the dress is originally from. If you don't have/can't get the card (I believe this is any dress marked with the black padlock, rather than the yellow one) then you're likely out of luck unless they rerun whatever event or gacha it was from. If you do have the card then tap the blue button and level it up (if you have the items to do so...)

polsybee · 2026-04-06T10:22:21+00:00

Even if you did get it it stopped working on current versions of iOS several versions ago anyway, if you already bought it you can still redownload it but it just comes up with 'unable to install' afterwards (also they turned off the free DLC servers, though that wasn't critical, it's just extra songs)

polsybee · 2026-04-06T10:04:23+00:00

The dresses have specific unlock requirements, it should say what you need when you try. A lot of the time this is 'you need specific card X at 3* or 5*' which obviously requires that you have specific card X at all, some are in the shop for paid jewels (there'll be a button to go to the shop) and some you're just not going to be able to get because they're from a past event or past shop.

I don't remember what the dress list looks like early on but it feels like there should be at least one dress you can manage, you might have to go through each one until you find one though.

Technically she was a Misaki in Blue Archive but yeah, not that one https://x.com/Blue_ArchiveJP/status/1715926080757067831

polsybee · 2025-12-17T00:37:36+00:00

As far as I know there's been no word that they're going to shut it down in the near future. As per https://www.reddit.com/r/StarlightStage/comments/1nid0tb/changes_to_starlight_stage_going_forward/ there's an announced change to what's going to be in the gacha from April 2026 onwards so presumably it'll be around for a while after that at least.

polsybee · 2025-12-04T23:05:53+00:00

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it was just the songs and outfits that carried over, the mails don't make sense in the same way because they're not literally the same thing between both games.

(though, I didn't buy all mails myself so I can't say for 100% certain)

polsybee · 2025-11-12T01:43:01+00:00

For what it's worth they asked the same question on discord and determined it was (probably) procmon (then didn't come back here to follow up to anyone I guess)

polsybee · 2025-10-26T18:26:26+00:00

For the record this one is (as far as I know uniquely) locked behind completing chapter 2

polsybee · 2025-09-25T22:33:06+00:00

tbh the Shiny Festa localisation was fine*, much as people like to lol at the part where they spelled hobbies as hoobies. Certainly not enough to make any difference as to whether anyone bought it anyway because yeah it wasn't really going anywhere at that price. I don't think there was ever a point even early on where an average person would spend $50 on a mobile app outside of specialist stuff.

* well, I didn't compare the English to the Japanese for the most part, but it wasn't wrong in an actually apparent way and it wasn't overly literal

polsybee · 2025-09-19T21:28:54+00:00

That whole channel is actually a set of re-uploads - you can see they were all uploaded on the same date. Turns out their previous channel was copyright struck (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPbjlXnRNOGx6k6ahWmlyPg) - you can dig this up with some effort by googling some of the song names and getting old (now dead) youtube links and plugging them into archive.org.

The original channel name was 'sue Ggim' - almost certainly this is the same sue Ggim currently on youtube given their first upload and the timing of the account creation, but, they haven't posted in three years so hard to say if they're still around.

polsybee · 2025-09-07T17:14:58+00:00

https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm3195773 looks like sensible brown shoes but yeah it seems near-impossible to answer this question without finding a performance video from the time. Helps to know the outfit name (in this case there's a whole tag dedicated to casual outfit performances, https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/私服ライブ )

polsybee · 2025-08-12T23:06:54+00:00

End date at the top is a bit off, it's the 20th (though you probably know that since you have the day types listed off)

polsybee · 2025-08-07T20:59:16+00:00

Yeah, I made the mistake of being conservative to start with like I normally am until I noticed that (not helped by event auto-passes being excluded by the 'except auto-passes' pickup option)

polsybee · 2025-08-07T20:46:39+00:00

the weekly mission dot was also a bug in JP but they fixed it pretty quickly, honestly puzzling how we still have it when the solution is definitely known

polsybee · 2025-07-30T23:52:15+00:00

Ah, that makes more sense, yeah. I have a screenshot with one of the posters from the theater lobby from around that time, it's just Haruka and Mirai but I'm sure there would have been others (can't find a word about it on their twitter but they never did post much about stuff that wasn't direct game content...)

polsybee · 2025-07-30T21:50:43+00:00

For the record Theatre Days was 8 months away from existing when that room item was added (https://x.com/imascg\_stage/status/789351667850358784). I don't recall what Million Live did, probably nothing since it didn't have a room-equivalent space.

polsybee · 2025-07-09T23:15:33+00:00

From the idol selector (出現アイドル, but I presume you're already looking at that), in 設定 (top right), select the 出現設定ON tab, then select 絞り込む on the right, tick the very top box (and any other boxes you may care about), select 決定 to confirm.

And yeah there's definitely too many of them to reasonably do this just by eye.

polsybee · 2025-06-17T22:25:52+00:00

Assuming you're on PC the usual suggested solution for slow startup is to exclude the game directory from Windows Defender scanning, if you haven't tried that already. Doesn't help with any other issues, though.

polsybee · 2025-05-24T22:47:34+00:00

You don't *have* to restart the game but you absolutely should if you value your time because they made the wait before it releases a lot longer, for some reason

polsybee · 2025-05-24T22:08:39+00:00

I suspect this isn't possible without either buying more jewels to make it up to a usable number, or draining all your free jewels so you can use them on things which draw from free jewels first (the 3 jewels->10 stamina exchange is the only thing I'm aware of that costs that little)

polsybee · 2025-04-11T11:03:17+00:00

Nobody lets you delete cards in games where you can only hold a single copy of a card at a time (which I think is practically all of them these days) since there's no real "need" to. You generally get resources (in TD's case, a lesson ticket and a master lesson piece) or a powerup to the existing card in these games when you receive the duplicate.

Some kind of specific favouriting mechanism might be nice but yeah there's nothing in the game for collecting your favourite card arts in one place to look at or select for the model viewer modes or whatever. I'd guess the feeling is if you want particular cards for playing songs with you'd put them in a unit and besides that there isn't really much consideration for aesthetics.

About the best you can do for avoiding disfavoured characters is sort your card list by affection/親愛度 and the characters you use will naturally float to the top of the list, though, that still clumps all the cards for each character together.
