So far I have my own code and one other (Thank you!) and will hopefully be entering codes today. The ticket lottery closes on the 6th of May (Japan time) so if you have any codes please send them in to me before then! <3
The slip with the code on it looks like this:

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)

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 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'.

I am once again in front of you, begging on my knees to attend an Utapri concert
So, basically, I have a code to enter the ticket lottery for Utapri Star Treasure Moonshine, but can't apply on Eplus without a Japanese phone number (etc).
As you may or may not remember, thanks to the help of some followers here back in 2019/2020 I hit for tickets to 7th Stage and had my whole trip planned, but wasnt able to attend due to the cancellation, reschedule, and covid travel restrictions.
The contact who let me use their Japanese phone number a few years ago is no longer living in Japan, so if anyone has a working eplus account/japanese phone number and would be able to help me out please let me know! Whether someone with a Japanese phone number is able to coordinate with me on my Eplus account, or if you're appplying on your own Eplus account and can enter my code in the lottery along with your own (although im unsure of the process this time regarding the application and ID checks) I'd be eternally grateful, and if my code hits for tickets I can try to pay you a bit, ship you some concert merch, or do an art/design commission for your troubles! Of course I would pay for the ticket cost as well.
Likewise, if anyone ends up with an extra ticket and would be comfortable giving it to me I would be happy to pay! I hate to sound desperate, but Ive been a fan Utapri for 12 years so I was really devastated when my 7th stage plans fell through.
Good luck to everyone entering~ <3 <3
Edit: I found someone to help out! Thank you to everyone for boosting!!

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...?

Poll is over, thanks for letting me know your thoughts! I've decided to move covererage of Live Emotion to @live-emotion. Until now I've been reblogging the updates there, but I'll be fully swapping over soon. Im undecided if I want to keep going here until the Game Introduction videos are all released, or swap over straight away. So please go follow @live-emotion if you want to keep up with LE news!
IMPORTANT POLL
Utapri Live Emotion Coverage
Tumblr media
If I continue to cover Live Emotion, I want to know where you would prefer to see it. No guarantees I'll follow the responses since I'm still considering it myself. For now, I have a Live Emotion blog (@live-emotion) where I've been reblogging from here. But this won't work in the long run.
If I cover it here @shiningliive: It might bring more awareness to the game since I still have followers from Shining Live days, and people wouldnt have to migrate to a new blog. It may feel nice to continue to utapri mobile game legacy in the same spot. But also, Live Emotion coverage here would bury Shining Live content, and make it harder to find in the long run. Id also have to figure out new tagging system to differentiate content between the two games. The blog name would also be inconsistent/confusing.
If I cover it @live-emotion: It would be a fresh start, and make finding content for each game more convenient. It would also allow ShiningLiive to remain a clean archive of Shining Live content, and people uninterested in Live Emotion wouldnt have to unfollow. However, it might be a bit sad to leave Shiningliive behind, and people may miss the content.

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:
Tumblr media
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.

What do you expect to see in live emotion? What are your far fetched hopes?
For me, now that its been confirmed as a rhythm game my base expectations are:
A gacha system.
A varied initial roster of songs.
Unlockable outfits, backgrounds, customisation etc.
Events and frequent updates.
Unlockable main story and side stories
Equal focus on the groups, and new insight into the characters
My hopes are:
A pretty and intuitive UI.
Consistent updates that keep the game exciting, and frequent contact from the dev team instead of radio silence.
At least some level of warmth, heart, and depth in the writing, characters, art, etc. Including a main story mode that is actually compelling and interesting that builds up to a conclusion. Sometimes Shining Live could feel a bit too sterile, pristine, and stale after a few years, rather than highlighting the existing focus utapri has on bonds and connection.
A nice art style with CGs/cards having unique poses, interactions, intricate backgrounds, etc.
Option to swap between Live2D, Card art, and 3D Models on homescreen.
Outfits that arent all basic suits, and customisation that actually looks nice on the 3d models.
Fun and satisfying beatmaps, with multiple touch gestures (tap, hold, spin, swipe double tab etc).
Option for simpler bg to reduce motion sickness and distraction.
Some new main feature/mode/gimmick to differ it from Shining Live.
Some degree of interaction between characters.
Lots of things to work towards completing without FOMO or pressure to spend money: missions, quests, login bonuses, achievements, etc.
The chance to unlock all content as a free player, even it it takes a bit longer.
Im sure Im forgetting a lot, so feel free to send in asks with any thoughts on, or hopes for the game~ We might have another reveal tonight?

Live Emotion Tap Spaces
A too long post on the Live Emotion preview clip only having two touch icons:
I've seen mixed reponses. Some people are happy to see a more accesible layout that is less likely to cause hand and wrist damage from long/frequent play sessions, and some are dissapointed and fearful that it might be too slow or too basic.
I'd take an educated guess that what we're seeing in this clip is an 'easy' difficulty, with higher levels hopefully having at least a faster speed. When comparing this clip to the easy difficulty of Shining Romance on SL, both are nearly identical with 11-12 taps within 8-9 seconds.
It's hard to say how I feel about it so far without seeing more footage. Personally, I think at least 4 would be ideal but I can't say until more footage is revealed. It's certainly possible there are more tap spaces in higher difficulties, or the higher speed and potentially more gesture options would make up for it.
Here are some other rhythm games with similar amounts of touch spaces. I've tried to link higher diffulty levels to show the potential:
Love Live All Stars - Very similar layout to Live Emotion with two tap icons, however there are also some notes that have to be swiped in the direction indicated which I think could be implemented in higher difficulties in LE. Also has a mode with less distracting bg visuals (that is customisable with unlockable backgrounds) which I am also currently hoping to be a toggle in LE.
Aikatsu - This I believe is a two player mode that is being played solo, but it does show another example of a 2 touch icon UI. I think it's also played with a controller, but its easy to imagine the arrows as directional sliding gestures as well. Aikatsu has a slightly younger demographic, so it makes sense if the beatmaps skew a bit simpler.
Idolish 7 and I-Chu - Both with four tap icons.
Then of course you have games like Bpro and SIF that have a similar high amount of tap icons to Shining Live. There are also some with similar functionality but different look, like Show By Rock, D4DJ, Project Sekai, and Hypmic.
And for more varied rhythm gameplay styles, but to highlight the potential of different gesture types, you have:
King of Prism - Tapping and making certain swipe gestures as they skate through hoops. This and some others linked also have segments where you trace shapes on the screen at certain parts of a song, or whena gauge fills up.
Te to Te Connect - Arcade game with beatmaps that encourage copying the movements on screen. These sort of swiping and tracing shape movements are especially interesting to me but I dont know if we'd see something like that in LE.
Muse Dash - A different style of rhythm game to what we've seen so far from LE, but there may be something in there to inspire you.
Fit Boxing - Again very different and doesnt really translate to touch screen, but while holding a joycon the player does different types of punches and movements corresponding to the icons.
Osu - A classic, with its icons taking up the screen in various patterns rather than staying in set positions, this is also something I dont expect to see in LE, but is a fun gameplay style. Osu also has a large spinning wheel that shows up occasionally for a short period of time, and has to be spun in circles very quickly.
All that to say, who knows what we're in for. I would prefer a few more touch icons, but even if harder difficulties still only have 2 I think its possible to get a fun and difficult game out of it if theyre fast enough, and have various tap gestures to keep it intersting and engaging (tap, hold, spin, multi-tap, swipe up/down/left/right etc).
Lets wait and see what the next game reveals showcase.

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.
Tumblr media
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!

It was a close race! Final results show the top three Heavens members at the moment from 260 votes are: #1 Kiryuin Van, with 15.8%. #2 Sumeragi Kira, with 15.4% #3 Otori Eiji, with 14.6%
Eiji barely beat out his brother, with Eiichi coming in fourth at 14.2%, followed by Shion with 9.2%, and Nagi and Yamato tied for 6th at 7.3% each. 16.2% are currently undecided. I'll try to remember to run another similar poll in the future and see if results change~
I hope Live Emotion can help people discover their Heavens oshi, or learn more about them in general, and I'm curious if the new character bios will help people decide, or if there'll be any changes. So, I'll be hosting a poll before the Heavens Live Emotion introductions, and another one afterwards to see if there are any differences.
*Your "oshi" meaning your favourite member.
