The "Shining Party: Shining Live" is here!
During the event, the chance of getting a UR Photo from a standard Photo Shoot is doubled and all UR Photos are guaranteed to be from the "Shining Live" series. That's not all. The "Shining Live" UR Photos now have Message and Autograph tiles that you can unlock in their Moments sections, which allow you to attach an autograph and special message from your idol to their Photo!

To access these new Moments tiles, you will need to first expand the Photo's Moments. For more on this new feature, see the "New "Expand Moments" Function Added" notice in the Event Information tab on the Notifications List screen.

Expand the Moments section and unlock new features!
As you increase the Rank of a Photo by conducting Special Lessons, the Photo's Moments section will expand up to four times to reveal new tiles for you to unlock with new features. Some Photos will even include Message and Autograph tiles that unlock a special message from your favorite idol and even their autograph to attach to your Photo.

To begin with, all the UR "Shining Live" Photos will have Message and Autograph tiles added to their expanded Moments sections. To coincide with this, there will be a Special Photo Shoot focused on "Shining Live" Photos available from 4/24 (Tues.).

We plan to release another notice with details of this Special Photo Shoot on the 24th.

Look out for "Shining Super Stars" Photos with Message and Autograph tiles, coming soon!

That's not all! We will also be adding tiles to unlock a new Sub Skill and another to increase the effectiveness of the Photo's Leader Skill as well!

Unlocking the Sub Skill tile will add a second Skill to the Photo. There are many Sub Skills effects, including:

• - A Stamina Score bonus that increases your final score by the amount shown if you complete a live show with a certain percentage of your Stamina still remaining.
• - A Full Combo Score Bonus that increases your final score by the amount shown if you achieve a Full Combo.

Sub Skills can be levelled up in the same manner as Leader Skills, but they will require the new Sub Skill Booster item to do so. Sub Skill Boosters will be added as rewards for completing EXP Bonus Special Songs after the maintenance scheduled for 4/24 (Tues.).

Unlocking Leader Skill effectiveness enhancing tiles will increase the effectiveness of the Photo's Leader Skill. This can be done up to a maximum of four times. For example, you may be able to increase the Charm Performance for Dream Attribute songs as follows: 60 → 63 → 66 → 70

New "Score Battle" event type available from 4/25 (Wed.) !

Play three random songs in a row and see how your final score compares to five other players in this new type of event. Event rewards include unique Stickers for you to choose from, as well as plenty of other great rewards. There are special Stickers for every score rank achievable in a Score Battle, from D all the way to SS!

Score Battle Tips
Play Every Day!
You need Battle Passes to play Score Battles. Battle Passes recharge over time in the same way that LP does. There is a maximum number of Battle Passes you can hold at any one time and there is also a limit to the number of times you can play a Score Battle each day. So play every day to make the most of your Battle Passes.

Strengthen Your Unit!
In a Score Battle, your final score is ranked against five other players. The Battle Points you receive depend on your score relative to the other five players, so you are going to want to have your best Unit take some more Lessons before the Score Battle starts to make sure they are at their best.

Aim for a High Score
Get your Photos to their full scoring potential by using Special Lessons to raise their level cap and then unlocking tiles in the Moments section. Unlocking Sub Skills and increasing the effectiveness of Photos' Leader Skills can have a big impact on your final score.

Power up your favorite Photos even further by adding Crowns!

The new Crown Challenge feature allows you to further power up the Performance stats of Photos that are already at max Rank and Level. With the Crown Challenge you spend items to generate a Crown that gives a boost to either the Photo's Charm, Dance, or Vocal Performance. (Which Performance stat is increased is chosen at random.) You then have the choice to either set the Crown to your Photo, or spend more items to retry the Crown Challenge if you aren't happy with the initial result.

Go to Lesson > Crown Challenge to perform a Crown Challenge.

Communicate more with the boys!

New voice clips added for each idol on the Main screen! Other new voice clips also added to the download screen and other screens.

Please note that some of these new voice clips will only become available once you have reached a certain Bond level with the idol in question.

Other Adjustments
Medal Shop
The number of times you can exchange each type of Special Gem will be increased from once a week to seven times a week. We will also add the option to exchange five Medals for one idol-specific Gem once a month for each type.

Skills
For "Stamina Recovery Notes +n" Skills, when your Stamina is at max, Stamina Recovery notes will give more score than a normal rhythm icon. This means that the Skill will still be useful even when you are at full Stamina.

Free 11-Shot Photo Shoots!
Do a FREE 11-Shot Photo Shoot every day for up to five days! Don't miss this incredible chance to get your hands on your favorite idols!
