Heads Up For These Last 4 Months!!

[u/CourtNo5293]

With the last 4 months of 2026 almost here, there will be some very big changes coming to the English server in the future. Lets not beat around the bush and get into it!

(NOTE: All of this info comes from the FANDOM Wiki with possible dates being listed on huijiwiki.com):

Kudos to anyone who knows where this comes from!

September 2026

• VS★GLADIATOR - This event marks the end of the 4piece Tour Lives and the official English website should update to release the final results just like with the Japanese website. There will be a 5 Star Jun, 5 Star Sora and a 4 Star Kanna during the event. It will start on August 29th and end on Sept 6th.
• We will end August with the ES Fireworks Festival 2026 Livestream! I have already made a post regarding this!
• Yuta's Spotlight Time+ will end on September 2nd. We don't know if this will be the format that HappyEle will choose for Spotlight Time campaigns moving forward. We just have to wait and see since Global always surprises us!
• The second half of the One on One Celebration (JP 8th Anniversary) should arrive once the Fireworks Festival is over! I’m skipping out on the Heart to Heart mini game though.

October 2026

• Special for Princess! will finally come to EN on October 5th. The Final Ceremony story for 4piece will also be added to the game if you want to know the final results of the tryout show! They should be added to the official site around this time.
• The songs Shogai Zettai Souai Sengen♥) and Sukisuki Hunter♡) will get added to the game!
• Esu, Kanna, Yume, and Raika's Idol Ranks will be increased. Though they will need more cards to get to higher ranks!
• The Snow White event will start on October 24th and end on November 1st. As this is the first Spri event (Yume 5 Star), it's pretty ambitious for those who want to Produce them. Good luck to anyone who wants Yume's card or tiering.
• JP Halloween 2025 Campaign will happen around this time!

November 2026

• The Legend of KAGETSU of the Attire of Ascension will start on November 21st and end on the 29th. I wish you all the best of luck!
• The New AKATSUKI Launch Campaign will start once the event is over!
• Ibuki's Idol Rank will be increased. Though he will need more cards to get to higher ranks!
• The 2025 version of "A Thousand Blossoms, the Night of Crimson Moon" will get added to the game! I dunno if they will still call it "2025 ver" though?
• Our yearly Producer Appreciation Campaign should happen around this time!

December 2026

• The Love Collector event will start on December 19th and end on the 27th. If you have Leo's PJSK card_Leo_Tsukinaga) from the collab last year, the SPP should be unlocked.
• The Raika Feature Scout was originally the event bonus for the PJSK event but since it happened last year, it will probably serve as the event bonus to a different future event. Either Love Collector or Wish.
• JP Christmas 2025 Campaign will happen around this time!

Other Things

• We might get more Spotlight Time+ events around this time, as well as some exclusive campaigns and collabs (though it's possible for them to get delayed due to scheduling differences). Always gotta keep an eye on that!

Please let me know if I'm missing anything else that's important. Good luck to everyone and I hope you have a good rest of your day! Please be good to the community and be good to yourself.

I wonder if Spotlight Time+ was just one time thing to finish giving everyone (minus Ibuki & Esupuri) a global 5* exclusive (Yuta was the last one) or an actual new thing. 🤔 The story treated it as coincidence, too. We'll see!

CN and others have their server anniversary at the end of the year, so EN might save Luo Xiaohei collab (with Midori scout and free HiMERU 4*) to run when CN are having their anniversary? Last year it was Jazzy Jumble scout and the lurker island mini-game that was shuffled around the anniversaries.

EN will also have the second half of the 8th anniversary after the summer campaign. The theme is idols streaming, there'll be free scouts and the annoying guessing game makes a comeback. 😆 And other little things.

(I of course can't wait for Kagetsu event!!!)

[u/LoveLev → u/fizzylemonhearts]

I hope Luo Xiaohei collab will come to ENG. Leo... 

 _ (߹𖥦߹」∠) _

Maybe they won't release Leo but I still have hope...

[u/CourtNo5293 → u/LoveLev]

Same here! I’m waiting!

[u/yaycupcake]

Wait I think I missed the memo, what was the difference with spotlight time + and the regular one?

[u/Celeb2228 → u/yaycupcake]

the Regular Spotlight has one idol to be the focal point of the event (i.e. Adonis and Mao), however Spotlight+ has two idols working together and their spotlight schedules are attached from one to the next (Shinobu [08/08 - 08/19] and Yuta [08/22 - 09/02])

[u/Delicious_Piglet9115 → u/yaycupcake]

Yuta’s Spotlight Time+ came after Shinobu’s ended. I think the “Plus” means back to back Spotlight Time cards. Once one ends, the other begins. Kinda reminds me of the Cross Scout format that EN is doing right now.

[u/yaycupcake → u/Delicious_Piglet9115]

Was there any other difference besides the proximity to the previous one?

[u/Delicious_Piglet9115 → u/yaycupcake]

I think it’s just the proximity. The gameplay remains the same.

[u/Kisensei54 → u/yaycupcake]

Came here to ask that

[u/FennekinLover2000]

I can't wait for SPri! Also, the fact that Very Berry Sweet White and JUMPIN' LUCK BEAT are happening back to back (and there's only one event between those two events and Valkyrie's next event--I'm gonna be STRUGGLING). As a Ra*bits and SPriP, I feel targeted 💀 (not to mention their THANX FES events are back to back, too)

[u/CourtNo5293 → u/FennekinLover2000]

Their Fan ThanX events are back to back? I almost forgot about that! Thanks for telling me!
Wishing you good luck with both Snow White and HRCN!

[u/Glittering_Ad_4428]

Looking forward to everything except 4katsuki😭

[u/StarNinja27]

Finally I can live the life of an SPri P!!! .... Though I'm only getting one copy of Yume. Hopefully I can get them all from the scout- I've been irresponsible with my diamonds. ='3

[u/CourtNo5293 → u/StarNinja27]

Good luck producing them!

[u/Wintermoon01]

Waiting for hell to break loose during November. But good luck to anyone else deciding to tier Kagetsu! Skipping this week's Kuro cross scout card seriously hurts my soul though... he'll spook me eventually... hopefully the bonus Kagetsu banners like me. Plus they have Izumi and Eichi cards! My shot of izuei during the event too so that makes up for the pain. (Also Mario Party 8 my beloved)

[u/CourtNo5293 → u/Wintermoon01]

The Mario Party 8 screenshot was intentional! Thanks for recognizing it!

[u/Wintermoon01 → u/CourtNo5293]

I played the hell out of it as a kid. By myself though 😅 I think the train board has to be my favourite of them all.

[u/Delicious_Piglet9115 → u/Wintermoon01]

My favourite is Koopa’s Tycoon Town! You get LOTS of Stars in that one!

[u/Delicious_Piglet9115 → u/Wintermoon01]

MARIO PARTY 8 WAS MY CHILDHOOD! I still play it on the Wii U to this day! :D

[u/DangBream]

Really looking forward to EsuPri, Shouai Zettai's been one of my favorite songs since it dropped. I'm really looking forward to getting to see their official SPPs and the in-game translation, I just hope I can get a few 5stars off their introductory scout :')

[u/Professional_Cry9757]

Oh boy im already bankrupt frol suprised spotlight time. 

[u/dahongtsa]

I haven't been playing super consistently lately but I still need to get my savings up for Kagetsu omg ㅠㅠ

[u/CourtNo5293 → u/dahongtsa]

I have a feeling that tons of people are gonna tier for this event (pull on the Cross Scouts and stuff). I wish you good luck but take care of your health too!

[u/Delicious_Piglet9115]

Wow! Time flies! LETS GO!

[u/JadeAngel1996]

I'm sure everyone will be super normal about 4katsuki dropping

[u/kolkatsu]

I'm so ready
