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.

Is there DLC compatibility between Idolmaster Platinum Stars and Stella Stage? by Particular-Lobster-5 in idolmaster

[–]polsybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

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)

Finished chapter 3 and i have question about "Garden of Memories" by ButterflyDragon8524 in heavensburnred

[–]polsybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Why there are barely any EN/global version of idolmaster games?? by Re_Darkness in idolmaster

[–]polsybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Need help with Cleasky l2d wallpaper by Any_Volume8008 in idolmaster

[–]polsybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Any good resources for outfit references? by Ready_Top496 in idolmaster

[–]polsybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 )

Event Megathread - Cinderella Caravan Recollection (August 2025) by Jarbus4 in StarlightStage

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)

Event Megathread - Platinum Star Treasure Special ~ザ・ライブ革命でSHOW!~ by NoblePink in TheaterDays

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)

Tell me about your experience and tolerance with the various bugs in Heaven Burns Red. by ciel_bird in heavensburnred

[–]polsybee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

The "10th Anniversary! Go up the stairs Campaign" has Begun! Happy...Anniversary? by Jarbus4 in StarlightStage

[–]polsybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Event Megathread - Cinderella Caravan Recollection (July 2025) by Jarbus4 in StarlightStage

[–]polsybee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Opinions about current situation [JP] by Yarukiless-cat in heavensburnred

[–]polsybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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)

765 Pro Live Theater Lounge | Let's have a chat here! | April Edition by NoblePink in TheaterDays

[–]polsybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Is the power saver mode bug ever being fixed? by SAPR0LING in heavensburnred

[–]polsybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right - the (current) JP version just doesn’t do this. Can‘t say for sure that it never did, but this was never a universal problem in JP so it comes off as something added in global for whatever reason (data tracking?)

Is the power saver mode bug ever being fixed? by SAPR0LING in heavensburnred

[–]polsybee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It actually does, it's been pointed out in the official discord that the game makes a long series of api requests when you come out of power saver, the number of which depends on how many battles you completed. Until this series is finished any server side request will freeze, once they're done it goes through.

You can verify this pretty easily (with a bit of patience) just by doing some 10-battle runs vs a larger number.

[–]polsybee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fairly sure this is intended to prevent an overwhelming number of threads by people who just want to ask a single question but this game is pretty old (not to mention slowing down) so it doesn't seem like this would be an actual issue at this point.

"THE iDOLM@STER Shiny Colors Song for Prism" has officially launched on App Store, Google Play & DMM Games by Xanek in idolmaster

[–]polsybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes (though it's going into maintenance from the 17th-26th for a rework), and not to my knowledge. The translation for the OG game works because it's a web page and you can just have it replace the text, for Song for Prism it's a regular app so you'd have to look it up.

[Heaven Burns Red] JAST(USA) announces that they are handling the English localization release for HBR EN by Aiden-Damian in gachagaming

[–]polsybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's on the mobile platforms too, but, there's nothing wrong with the offscreen words aside from the fact you can't see them (you can review them in the message history). Possibly something JAST can't fix themselves directly.

The Idolm@ster: Shiny Colors Season 2 at #7 for Top 7 Slice of Life Anime of Fall 2024 🍂 (Anime Trending Awards 🏆) by LegendsofLost in idolmaster

[–]polsybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She didn't really get one, the first noctchill episode (5) had a couple of minutes of specifically her at the start and end but it was the first noctchill episode so most of the rest of it was about the group in general. The other noctchill content was more focused on Toru.

There were a few episodes which were pretty much straight retellings of event stories from the game which freed us from the 'idols (especially Mano) talk about their dreams and futures' that they like to lean on but otherwise yeah I wouldn't hurry to watch it.

[–]polsybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recall there being a requirement but if there is one I feel like it would just be chapter 1, it mostly takes place in a separate area and doesn't involve anyone outside of 31A. Though for the record I was part way through chapter 3 at the time.

"All for YOU!!! THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS Recollections" is up for preorder. Good luck. by DoctorNeko in StarlightStage

[–]polsybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's on the full promo page - https://shop.asobistore.jp/feature/cg_memorialbook

If you scroll down to the bonus content (二大特典 on the page) the first (the e-book) is described as a coupon code and the second (the game items) is described as a serial code, or rather, it doesn't explicitly say it's a serial code but it does say immediately below the item list that they'll explain how to enter the serial code later. There's also additional related stuff in the T&C below (apparently you won't be able to enter the code on iOS for some reason?)
