Let's Play Idol Land PriPara!
Hello, it's Luna! (Main blog is @lunawings.) This is a fanblog for Pretty Series and Idol Land PriPara! Historically this blog has mostly focused on Pretty Series games but I summarize/review the anime episodes as well. Currently, the main focus of this blog is Idol Land PriPara, the game. Idol Land PriPara is a new PriPara anime and mobile game released as of August 2023! It is region free and anyone can download it! When I lived in Japan, I once recorded arcade videos of PriPara and PriChan using unofficial USB recording devices at some arcades. This is no longer available as both arcade games were discontinued in February 2022. PriMagi was also discontinued as of March 2023. If you visit Japan, you may be able to play the older games at Prism Stone shops.You will also be able to play the newest Pretty Series game, AiPri, at arcades nationwide!

If you have been logging into Idol Land every day for the past two weeks, you should have the Cherry Leaf coord by now.
Just an R of couse, but still, I like that they did this. I love any exclusive coord, especially one that feels earned.

The PriPara 10th Anniversary video and Tweet is up again! I believe this information wasn't supposed to be released until after the concert, but someone released it early. Oops.
I also noticed that the official Idol Land Twitter name and avatar has been changed. The name of the Twitter is now "Idol Land PriPara and PriPara 10th Anniversary", the new avatar features the 10th Anniversary logo, and the description explains that this account will be covering both Idol Land and the 10th Anniversary while it is ongoing.
(It's hard to imagine Idol Land ending during the 10th Anniversary, but having the official account being used for something else and the lack of a season 2 announcement today is a little concerning I have to admit.)
Okay, so about the actual announcement:
There will be a PriPara exhibition held this August 9th-25th 2024 in Tokyo, specifically Shibuya. They are also planning to bring the exhibition to Fukuoka and Osaka as well.
Having been to the Rainbow Live 10th Anniversary exhibition this past March, this honestly sounds very similar. They mention displaying PriPara's chronology (the Rainbow Live one had an episode-by-episode guide on the wall) and photo spots of Making Dramas and other scenes (same, we got a Prism Jump and Prism Stone shop as well as a bunch of mini ones), as well as stage costumes (well, we didn't get that at the RL one, instead we got merch and a guitar). The Rainbow Live one was cute, but very small. I was curious if this one might be bigger since they are taking it on tour but looking up the venue (地下1階, where it says "Event Space") this one looks equally small. So, perhaps not worth flying to Japan for, but be sure to check it out if you'll already be there!
Now, she's already made the rounds but the video also announced a brand new character. Not just for the 10th Anniversary, but the 1000th Anniversary!
Laalulu! She is a transfer student from the future, come to study about PriPara at the exhibition.
So... This is very funny for several reasons.
First of all, celebrating the 1000th Anniversary at the same time as the 10th is very on brand for PriPara considering it's long been canon that PriPara has existed for thousands of years, so why wouldn't it exist for thousands more?
And of course, although they don't acknowledge it directly, Laalulu is very clearly a fusion of Laala and Falulu.
Thus suggesting that Laala and Falulu's families become... intertwined at some point, somehow.
But at the same time, they are safeguarding themselves from suggesting she's a direct descendant since she's from so ridiculously far in the future. Yes, I know that vocal dolls, if she is one, can live for thousands of years. But, if she was already a thousand years old, why would she need to study PriPara in our age? So, I think she must be relatively young.
Or is she even a vocal doll at all? Because... not sure how that would be possible either.
My personal headcanon on this would be that perhaps Falulu or a Falulu clone becomes a real girl at some point, and meets up with a descendant of Laala.
Which, if true, would mean that they not only stole @moonlit-angel-serenity 's OC but mine as well, since that's what happens to Hinode in my canon LOL.
Haha, who knows. I'm pretty sure they will never explain it.
But, it seems to me this character is a character specifically made for the exhibition (especially since the logo features Laala and Falulu). Unless a voice actress is announced for her soon, I don't think they will be doing much of anything else with this character.
(In the video, Laala speaks to her and Laalulu replies back with text only, so it seems that she does not have one at this point.)

I wonder if this new character would appear in idol land pripara season 2. My theory is that she's a vocal doll that was made around og pripara season 1 when falulu fell asleep during the end of the season, there was some small glitch in the system that went unnoticed, and this new character wouldn't awaken until idol land pripara? Just a theory since we see the silhouette of unawakened falulu and Laala.
Thank you for your theory!
Unfortunately, since a season 2 was not announced today I'm not feeling very optimistic about it at the moment...
Some background about the new character was already given on Twitter so, now that the Tweet has been reposted and the video is up again, I'll be making a post discussing it and sharing my thoughts next!

If you pop over to the "Others" tab in the Movie Theater on Idol Land PriPara, you can now watch a voiced and parially animated mini episode of the Hibiki manga webcomic!
(As well as the preview for episode 12!)

My idol game will not start up for me at all, it freezes and it’s only the app :( I had a back up code but I can’t use it back onto my other device, what should I do?
What do you mean you can't use the code? If you already tried to use it once, it won't work again. Also, they expire after 30 days.
What do you mean by "freezes"? You mean the white screen?
Every time someone asks me this I always advise them to just shut down the app manually from the app menu and try again.
If that doesn't work, I'm very sorry but I don't know what to tell you because it always works for me. I've never had any major problems with the game.

Idol Land PriPara 11
The final battle...
Oh yes. Before I begin my post this time, to save me yet another round of asks, this episode and all the previous ones are viewable for free in the movie theater on the Idol Land PriPara app. Please download Idol Land PriPara. It's in your app store. Please.
And now...
NEW CUT IN THE OPENING OMG OMG POLOLO IS HAPPY NOW possibly only one episode left this season (maybe ever) and they still threw this in there GEEZ.... so much love in this show.
(Wait is her accessory the wrong color uguu...)
The episode begins right where we left off of course! Amari has challenged Mario to a duel. If he wins, she'll join (or c...combine??) with him and he can do whatever he wants, and if she wins, he can never show himself in front of her again. Mario solemnly agrees.
After the opening, Mario is laughing and making fun of Amari for how serious she was in challenging him. But he also quietly asks, "Do you really want to erase me?" Well, whatever, Mario is glad Amari is finally acknowledging him head on. He agrees again and asks if they are gonna just punch each other or what.
No sooner than Amari answers with "What!? We're idols, of course we are gonna perform!" a stage rises from the ground with the Hysteric Bunny and Fullmetal Rabbit logos on it, and everyone is instantly transported.
This includes WITH and Dark Nightmare, who now have their goat costumes removed. Koyoi and Shogo acknowledge this duel will determine Yui's fate as well.
Everyone questions what has caused the stage to form (it's GaarmageddonMi's doing if you ask them), but Janice, still powerless, suggests the system itself desires Amari and Mario finally settle things. The future of PriPara (Amari's kirakira vs. Mario's dark power) is in the balance.
In Amari's dressing room, Amari vows to protect PriPara, and everyone says they believe in her. They all turn to leave, except for Laala. She turns back to Amari, and begins a very important conversation.
Laala asks Amari, "Amari, do you really hate yourself? Why?"
She's of course referring to the previous episode, when she heard Amari yell that out in a moment of weakness.
Amari states that since junior high school she'd always felt left out everywhere she went, but since finding PriPara she was happy she finally thought she had friends and felt like she belonged. But then Mario appeared and started ruining everything, and it was all her fault. Mario is the version of herself from the past that she hates, so she has to defeat him.
"Do you have to?" asks Laala.
Laala doesn't like that Amari hates herself, because well, Laala likes Amari. But if Amari doesn't like herself, "Is this a love triangle!?"
"There is love inside hate", Laala tells Amari.
Laala doesn't quite remember where she heard that, but she's decided that it must mean hate is actually love. As Amari is trying to comprehend this for herself, Laala suddenly hugs her.
"I love you, Amari-chan!"
Laala turns to go, smiling and waving back at Amari as she leaves her alone with her thoughts.
Back at the stage, the tournament is ready to begin...
Janice needs a seatbelt to ride the stage.
Amari and Mario stare at each other from across the stage. Mario is grinning but he has noticeable bags under his eyes. They decide the winner is the person who can take over the audience (with kirakira or dark power). (A large portion of the audience is already being controlled by Mario, as "whatever" zombies.)
Without any discussion of who will go first, Mario begins. After his performance, a lot more of the crowd is converted, including Fuwari, Mikan, Ajimi, Dorothy... (Shion notes that Dorothy rolling on the floor saying "whatever" isn't that different than usual.)
Amari begins her performance, and she actually sings the second verse of Chaotic Hurricane (!!!) the entire time wishing Mario would just disappear. DISAPPEAR, DISAPPEAR, DISAPPEAR.
Amari's performance starts to shatter Mario's dark keys, bringing most of the audience back to normal.
Pleased with her performance, Amari looks up to find that what she wished for is actually coming true. Mario really is disappearing. Distressed, he shouts that he won't let himself disappear. He desperately asks Amari again, "Do you really want to erase me!?"
Amari is genuinely shocked and just stares as she seems to realize for the first time that what she's doing is basically killing him. Mario stops disappearing.
"That's right, you're not really going to erase me. Are you, Amari?"
But now that Mario is stable again, the duel resumes. They walk towards each other where they meet at the center of the stage. A third Making Drama begins where they immediately clash.
MAN I love the Making Drama battles Idol Land introduced. It definitely feels inspired by the battles in King of Prism.
As the battle takes place, you can hear a new song playing in the background. A duet between Amari and Mario.
The Making Drama ends without a clear winner. Amari knows she has to save PriPara, but something is holding her back. She remembers her earlier conversation with Laala.
"REMEMBER!" shouts Mario. "Remember your TRUE SELF!"
Amari thinks back again to her junior high self, the day she created Mario. But, overcome with embarrassment, she screams as loud as she can:
"DISAPPEAR!"
As Amari's scream creates shockwaves over the stage, Mario begins to disappear again. But this time faster than ever. He falls to the ground, half gone already.
Laala shouts, just loud enough to reach Amari:
"You can't erase him!"
And then Amari remembers. Further back, to when she was in elementary school and dreaming about being an idol. Then getting older, meeting Laala, and all the lessons she learned as we remember all the character development she's had gradually over the series episode by episode (damn this was such a good show...) up until the present episode when Laala told her "hate is love".
Amari realizes everything is connected, and the version of herself she loves and the version of herself she hates are both what make her whole.
"Don't disappear! Don't disappear, don't disappear, don't disappear!!" Amari cries as she runs to embrace Mario. Mario weakly says how he's always loved her spirit (I think).
But, just when it seems like he's too far gone...
Mario is solid once more.
"So, you need me after all, huh?"
"SHUT UP! I HATE YOU!" Amari yells, lunging at him without hesitation.
And actually punching him square in the face. Turns out that throwaway line from the beginning... not a joke haha! But well, since Mario is herself, Amari sees no need to hold back, after all.
"There, I won," she says as Mario is knocked to the ground and all the other characters just kind of stare into space not quite knowing what to make of this.
(Except Dorothy. Judging by her face, she's like YEAH! Give it to him.)
(I actually only noticed this on my third rewatch of this scene. Love these reaction shots where only one character has a different expression. Also feels like a callback to King of Prism haha...)
"You fight dirty!" Mario yells as he gets up and they both lunge at each other again. But instead of punching each other, this time, each sticks their key in the other's mic.
And then well.......
THIS
HAPPENS
um
There is probably a lot that could be said about
this
a lot of analyzing
Honestly though, thinking from the Japanese perspective I'm not totally sure what might be intended by this, so.
Let me just say.
Whatever this is
I like it.
Wow honestly
Even though they threw around the word "combine" a lot I was not. I was not taking it seriously. Like AT ALL.
Until now obviously.
Well also we know why Amari and Mario have the same birthday I guess.
The stage is destroyed and everyone is blown around as the Amari/Mario duet plays again (or is this a different one?) as ... let's call them "Amario", takes to the sky, literally grabbing the fallen key and putting it into the Yumeme in the sky.
Edit: Checked the credits before posting. Two songs are listed with a similar name, and I guess the combined version of them is called "Amarion" officially, according to the titles. CD release WHEN??? Anyway.
It seems Amari is the most in control here, and Mario is just kinda coming along for the ride ("whatever") as she borrows his power, but he seems to be enjoying himself all the same. They have trouble turning the key, actually bursting into flames in the process, and Meganii suggests it's because Mario's dark power reacting to the kirakira. But, eventually they are able to overcome it and the key turns.
But, Amarion is then sent rocketing back down to the ground, still burning in flames. As they fall, Amari thinks that she'll have to leave PriPara after this, for all the trouble she's caused. In the end, she's still left out. "Whatever......"
Mario asks her (in their head) if she really likes PriPara that much, and Amari says yes.
"Well, guess I've got no choice then," says Mario.
Mario separates from Amari so that he's the only one burning now.
Amari tries to reach out to him, but with a last "Whatever..." Mario allows himself to burn away... into nothing...
Amari yells for Mario as she falls, only to be caught safely in Pololo's hands.
And back in the sky, from the Yumeme, finally falls... Yui.
Yui's normal self somehow falls through the Yumeme, is converted into a beam of rainbow light, and emerges from Takki as her full idol self.
The Yumeme power is so strong everyone gets yumeme, even Shogo.
Gaze upon yumeme Shogo.
The yumeme spread to Amari and Pololo as well, as Pololo converts more bugs (the last?) into happy flowers.
The others wave up to Amari as she sits cupped in Pololo's hands and Amari waves back. But Amari then looks up to the sky.
"Mario..."
The Amari/Mario duet plays over the credits.
So.... I guess........ I.........
I guess first I... I will
I'll get my game predictions out of the way um
Obviously I think Yui will be added soon.
It's also high time they added Believe My Dream I guess? If we have to get an older song?
And um. I said there wouldn't be a gatcha for the last episode and I was wrong so. There may be a gatcha for this one. I think we may actually be getting that crazy half Mario half Amari coord. It's clearly a cyalume that we only got to see lit up. So, much like the Evergold team SCRs, we'll probably see the unlit version for the first (only?) time when it is added to the game. I'm looking forward to it. I just wow.
So.
My thoughts on this episode. Yes. My thoughts?
I guess anyone still reading this for some reason might want to know.
.........................
When I was in Japan at the beginning of this month, I visited Prism Stone Tokyo Station several times. And on my last visit, I decided to buy an Amari plush doll.
I took her down from the shelf I had placed her on in my house upon unpacking, so that she could sit with me here right now as I rewatch the episode and write this post. So I could hold her, hug her, and poke her as necessary.
....During the time I was in Japan, I was of course sitting on the cliffhanger from the last episode. I was already having a lot of emotions about Amari and Mario and... for a brief moment, I considered buying Mario too after I decided I was getting Amari. I did think that maybe, just maybe, I might regret not buying him based on what might happen in the next episode. But, still, I decided against it.
I do regret it.
She's literally without her other half. Amari, I'm so sorry...
I shouldn't be that upset about this but I kind of am.
This episode had a very important message.
It's hard to accept some things about yourself.
It's hard to look back.
But your awkward past. Your cringe OCs.
The imaginary anime boyfriend you made when you were in middle school that also may or may not be you sort of experimenting with yourself as the opposite gender???
That's... that's all you.
And that's OK.
Because Laala loves you.
But really though.
This episode left me with this terrible, hollow, lonely feeling that I can't or rather won't go into full detail about here. I'm sitting here, playing with Amari's bunny ears as I rewatch scenes from this episode over and over again to edit and add details to this post
and missing a person who doesn't exist.
But in my case, I think he is too far gone. I deleted that novel. It felt right, at the time.
I'm sorry.

Yessss! Thank you!
As of 4/17/2024, a new Double Pasharing option has been added to Photo Promises in Idol Land!
To access it, simply create a photo promise as normal and you will notice there are now two new poses to choose from: Double Heart and Violation Ticket!
To experiment, I did a series of promises using Dressing Pafe with only double poses.
Despite always using the order of Reona, Dorothy, Shion, sometimes I was paired with Reona and sometimes with Dorothy. So it seems the character you will be paired with is somewhat random. But, all the other characters will be paired with you.
This is nice and makes sense! I mean, as the host of the promise, it feels right that people should be taking pictures with you. Hosting a promise where you only appear in one part of the photoshoot has always felt very lonely.
I don't imagine someone can dig it up again, but I think I remember someone pointing out that this mode was teased in an early pre-release screenshot. I'd be curious to know if it was one of these two poses or another one.
