Live Emotion Game Introduction 5 - Emotional Pieces

Lets have a look at Emotional Pieces:

As described on the official twitter account: When you cultivate the fragments of the idol's feelings - their 'emotional pieces' - you'll gain access to things like special outfits, and piece stories. You can also see a new side of the idols by awakening them.

Further Analysis below:

As expected, 'Emotional Pieces' seem to be the equivalent to cards/photos in Shining Live. In this video, we get our first look at what I assume is the initial set of SR (super rare) Pieces titled 'Be Elegant!'. The art on the Pieces is 2d, and likely ties into the main story at the beginning of the game as seen in the previous Story gameplay preview with the same background. The four diamonds to the right of the 'Be Elegant!' title likely either representing the cards rarity as an SR, or the amount that is has been awakened (diamonds could fill with colour to indicate awakening).

Screen 1 - Piece Levelling

In this clip we see Masato's 'Be Elegant!' SR Piece levelled up from 1-11 with the use of two EXP Score (S), and two EXP Score (M). The number above the area to select how many EXP Scores to use shows how many of each item you own. EXP Score (S) earns 100 EXP EXP Score (M) earns 1,000 EXP EXP Score (L) earns 10,000 EXP

We can also see there there are three categories of Pieces. Sing, Dance, and Charm. It's likely that each idol can be different categories depending on the Piece (Eg, one Masato SR could be Charm type as seen in this video, and another could be Dance type). Levelling up the Piece adds slightly more to the Piece's assigned type than the others (Masato's Sing and Dance points get an additional 100 points, and his Charm gets an additional 104.

Each Piece has also has an assigned 'Life' value, assumedly similar to stamina in Shining Live. In this case likely each cards 'Life' value being added together to give you a value for your stamina bar.

Under the Life value on the left shows the level of the Pieces Skills. Main Skill, Idol Skill, and Guest Skill.

The buttons at the bottom read (from left to right): Reset, Omakase (Auto?), Confirm, and 'Piece Board'.

Screen 2-3 - Piece Board

This looks to be the various unlockables for each Piece.

The Top tree is unlockables for Story , the middle tree for Skills, and the bottom tree for Costume/Voicelines. Each also had additional unlocks for extra Charm, Dance, Sing, and Life points. They are levelled up with the pink gems seen in the popup screen. It seems each unlock will reward you 2 of the rainbow gems which are likely used for the Piece Gacha.

The outfit unlocked for Van is titled "Formal Wear'.

Lets go to an Utapri concert!

I am looking for codes to enter the ticket lottery for Utapri's 'Star Treasure Moonshine' concert!

If you purchased a copy of the Starish Star Treasure Sunshine Bluray or DVD, and will not be using the code that comes with it to enter the ticket lottery yourself then please send it my way!!!

If you send me an eligible code, I can to provide you with a logo design, chibi art commission, or perhaps small payment in return. (Commissions would not include commercial rights, but you may use for personal use and post to your own social media with credit to me)

Art/Design samples:

I currently only have one code to enter, so the more codes I can get, the better chance I have of hitting for tickets. This has been my dream for the last 12 years, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you have one available! you can DM me here, or @/magicalmeily on twitter (where you can also see more of my graphic design samples).

Any boosting would be appreciated!!

Live Emotion Game Introduction 4 - Talk

Talk to the Utapri boys 1-on-1

As described on the official twitter account: This is a space where you can talk alone to the idols. You can experience different topics and conversations than you see on the home screen. Depending on where you tough them, and how often, you might get special reactions from them...?

Live Emotion Game Introduction 3 - Story

What to expect from the story mode in live Emotion:

As described on the official twitter account: In Live Emotion, you can enjoy a 'Main Story' alongside all 18 idols pursuing a new dream, 'Private Stories' to deepen your relationship with each idol, as well as 'Piece Stories' and 'Event Stories' that depict the idols' work and daily lives.

Analysis and translation of the story sections showcased below:

The boys are once again using their 3d models. Im curious if there will be any 2d illustrations, or live2d in the game, or if the 'pieces' that we collect via gacha will be pieces of 3d outfits/furniture etc that can be applied only to 3d models. Id like for there to be at least some kind of pretty 2d visuals!

Rather than being some mysterious figure in Shining Live, we can once again welcome our lovely Nanami Haruka as our insert character for some of the stories! Or at least, thats the name that is being used in the preview video. the disclaimer below says that the protagonists name can be changed. Welcome back Nanami!

I wonder what the new venture the boys (and Haruka) are taking part in for the main story is! It looks like the story mode has taken more inspiration from otome games with the player able to make choices.

Clip 1 - Main Story

Translation:

MC/Haruka: It's been a few days since the decision was made. The day of the press announcement came quickly. MC/Haruka: Before the event begins, I greet everybody personally. *Ai, Tokiya, and Eiji appear on the screen. MC/Haruka: "Good morning. Um, everyone... good luck hanging in there for today's press conference!"

Clip 2 and 3 - Private Story (Fully Voiced)

Scene 1 Translation:

MC/Haruka: "I- I'm fine with anything!" Ren: "Dont hold yourself back. I'm the one who invited you out to eat after all." Ren: "It's a waste to go out to eat alone on a rare day off, so I'm happy you came."

Scene 2 Translation:

Yamato: "It's not like I could teach you anything on your own, Im teaching the other members too." Yamato: "Besides, if a beginner goes in without knowing anything you'll get hurt, you know? Dont underestimate training!" Haruka: He's right, I think I'd be really grateful to have Yamato teach me..." *Choice of response appears. Option 1 - Well... I'll take your word for it. Option 2 - I'll be looking forward to it!

I will be moving to cover the game at @live-emotion once the game introduction videos are all revealed, so please follow there now if you'd like to see more coverage of the game as it's releasing.

Live Emotion Game Introduction 2 - Home

First Look at the home screen for Live Emotion!

As described on the official twitter account: This is the backstage area where you can access various functions of the app. You can interact with the idols, watch them relax, and have fun in a variety of ways. This way, you can spend time with your favourite idols.

Analysis/translation of the user interface below:

Move between left and right sides of the backstage area/homescreen. Can change to a forwards/backwards arrow depending on where you are in the room (?).

Likely a fullscreen/view mode, that removes the UI temporarily.

Unsure. Something to do with altering the UI for the room like the other 3 buttons in this area. Possibly to do with moving the characters or yourself around the screen. Potentially some other kind of customisation, although that seems to be the function of #20.

Likely a toggle for the text box (#14). It is greyed out temporarily, possibly when moving between left and right sides.

User rank and level up bar.

LP (likely still 'live points'). Used up to play songs in the rhythm game, and replenished by waiting in real time.

Likely a shortcut to refill LP with in game resources.

Likely the Live Emotion equivalent to 'Prisms' in Shining Live. Used for the gacha and other in game functions.

Home? Unsure exactly what screen this may return to, since the official tweet refers to this backstage area as the home page.

Settings/options menu.

News/updates log. Unread information indicated by a red diamond top right.

Missions, goals or achievements. Likely that completed missions with unclaimed rewards are indicated by a red diamond top right.

Giftbox. Unclaimed gifts indicated by a red diamond top right.

Chat box transcribing what the speaking idol is saying, as well as their name.

Text reads: "Beginner Mission". (Text in white below this box just says that the game is still under development).

Speaking idol. There can be multiple idols in the backstage area at once (Camus seen in the background). They are represented by 3d models, and it looks like they will interact with the background and eachother. In this case, Otoya is speaking to the player, and Camus is inspecting a book in the background. Almost certain that the outfits and room can be customised.

Button to navigate to viewing 'Emotional Pieces'. Not exactly sure the best way to translate that, despite it being in Katakana, but 'Pieces' (?) seem to be the equivalent to photos/cards in Shining Live. So I'm assuming this will be the way to view, organise, level up etc all your collected pieces, whatever they may be. The icon makes me think of the cards from Aikatsu, with different cards representing different parts of a while outfit. It makes me wonder if there'll be a bit more of a dress-up element, where you can collect and mix and match different headwear, tops, and bottoms of clothing sets. Please let me know if piece/peace means something in this context that I dont know about!

Button to navigate to the 'Piece Gacha'. The system for obtaining 'pieces' via in game currency.

Button to navigate to the story. Like other things on the UI, it seems like unlocked but unread stories are indicated by a red diamond.

Button to navigate to 'MiniPri'. Likely either or both) a view with cute chibi versions of the characters and backstage area, or the way to customise the members and background of the backstage area. I wonder if you can unlock different furniture, wallpapers, floors etc, and move them around yourself, of if the backgrounds are set.

Button to navigate to the 'Live' screen, the main song selection for the rhythm game.

Live Emotion Game Introduction 1 - Live Performances

Out first proper look at Utapri's upcoming mobile game, Live Emotion is here!

The game is now confirmed as a rhythm game, and a short preview of the beatmaps has been showcased in a brand new clip.

As described on the official twitter account: In Live Emotion, you can play rhythm games and enjoy concerts. The idols will show off their brilliant performances in songs with live music videos, and in these music videos you will be able to change their outfits to costumes you have obtained during gameplay.

Further analysis below:

This matches up with the original preview image for Live Emotion, in which we can see the memebers of Starish realised in 3D looking out into an audience of fans and getting ready to perform. 3D dance visuals during songs has been a common element used in many rhythm games since Shining Live's release.

Dance: In the new clip, we can see Starish wearing outfits from the promotional art for the game (likely the initial 'UR cards' or equivalent) and performing their new group song from the Live Emotion Theme Song CD, 'Kirameki Emotion.' As with other similar games, there is possibly an option with less camera movement to negate potential motion sickness from long play sessions. The models used for Starish look the same/similar to those used in the recent 3D concerts (Song Parade, All Star Stage Music Universe, etc).

Beatmap Style: As seen in this clip, there are only 2 rhythm icons, (one on the left and one on the right) compared to Shining Live's 6. It is likely that this is an easy level of the song, and higher difficulties (hard, expert etc) will have more challenge with faster beatmaps, more touch types (swipe, tap, hold etc) and potentially more rhythm icons. The same tap noises from Shining Live are used.

User Interface: The score gauge in the top left (including ranks C, B, A, and S), and energy meter, and pause button in the top right are similar to Shining Live's layout.

Special Time Gauge: At the bottom of the screen is a 'Special Time Gauge' that raises with every rhythm icon hit (possible only perfects). Unknown what exactly this affects.

If you notice anything else, let me know! Otherwise it looks like we can look forward to mroe clips like this soon!
