I know it's a shorter month by default but the fact that we only have one week left in the month is still crazy to me because it felt like the first half of the month went by soooo slowly (for me personally, anyways) and now it's almost March LOL

TCG NEWS

Not much to report on today since it's been a quiet week for me in regards to admin activity--which I apologize for as well, since I've been not feeling up to things for a large part of this month--but I did want to mention this here for anyone not on the Discord:

If you maxed out deck donations during BOTH pre-prejoin & prejoin (35 decks total; so you should've earned 105 cards + 14 ribbons + 7 EXP total), please double check the site logs in your account for the Prejoin Rewards (Deck Donations) log to make sure it didn't cut off somewhere! There was a character limit on the field that saved the log contents to the database so it may not have saved some of the cards and thus cut off partway then deleted the rest.

If this did happen to you and you notice any cut off logs, please follow what it says below depending on your situation:
  • If you DO have the full log on your own trade post, you can report it as a profile/log error so we can update that on-site! Your currency counts should've been updated even if it didn't save in the logs but double check anyways & let us know if in the error report that you need that updated too.

  • If you do NOT have the full log because you didn't copy it right when you got it and grabbed it from your account logs afterwards, report it as a general error and with what you're missing, so we can send you the remaining rewards.
This also applies to any other potential reward log you may have received BEFORE February 17th (the date of when I hopefully fixed this issue) so if you have any other cut off logs, you can do the same as above depending on what your case calls for!

EVENT UPDATES

The Gift Shop for the White Valentine Month 2026 mini event was opened on Monday so feel free to start spending any Heart Lollipops you've earned now! As of today, I've lowered the prices for all gifts after seeing how many lollipops players seem to be earning so I hope this encourages gifting more if you were hesitating to spend yet. Don't forget that BOTH the mini event AND shop will close on March 13th @ 11:59 PM (TCG Time) which means just under 3 more weeks before the deadline!

GAME UPDATES

This month's Collab Stage still has 3 spots open so we will now be accepting images from anyone, including those who have already submitted something in the current round. It will be first come, first served as usual and no new series have been maxed out, however IDOLiSH7 is almost at the limit (2/3) so only one more image will be allowed from it if anyone plans on donating from that!

We also have 9 spots left in Group Collect so we will also be accepting new donations from anyone for that, including anyone who already participated this month! If anyone is still receiving duplicate rewards from this game after their donation was approved, please continue reporting it on the forums so we can delete it.

There is still a bit of time to participate in the current round of Your Idol if you haven't yet! It will be closing at midnight today so if you want to slide in a last minute play, please do it ASAP.

This is also your reminder to finish playing the monthly games soon! This includes turning in completed tasks for Sparkling Tour, although there is still time to change any songs in your set list if you need to as well - just make sure to post the form in your thread *before* 11:59 PM (TCG time) TONIGHT! Otherwise, you are locked into your current set list for good and no more changes can be made.

I know I dropped the ball with Special Challenge this month because I couldn't think of what to do for it so I apologize for the very short notice on this, but I did put up a speed round for anyone interested! The reward will be the same as usual to make up for the last minute-ness of it because it's still going to close on the 28th but the challenge shouldn't be anything too complicated or time consuming (I hope, anyways) so go take a look and participate if you'd like!

WISHING DETAILS

For Ender's wish, I took the wish to mean 1 of each of the coupons we have since there's only 1 type (as Career Boosts and Birthday Perks are separate/not coupons) so everyone can take the following set of coupons and use the provided log when commenting/adding to your trade post:


Ender Wish (2026-02-21): choicecard coupon, dreamfesunit coupon, masterbadge coupon, profilebadge coupon, randompack coupon, spartoursetlist coupon

For my (Cassidy)'s wish that was granted, the choice cards can be ANY combination of the listed colours so you do not need to choose all 5 cards from the same deck colour; you can mix and match from brown, red, and/or pink decks. However, there is still a limit of max. 2 cards per deck and as always with deck colour-related wishes/freebies, the colour must be listed as its official deck colour! The claiming form will list every released deck even if its colour does not match so be sure to double check your picks before submitting the form please!!

COMING SOON

Along with the monthly games, don't forget to finish up anything else that's monthly like donations, picking up your present if you celebrate(d) a birthday in February, etc!! Don't forget to grab this month's Site Milestone before the 28th as well or you will miss out on it.

Because next Saturday is also the last day of the month, the next update is on March 1st and it'll be a combined weekly and monthly update! I'm thinking of changing update days actually, since Saturdays (and weekends in general) don't seem to be working out for me like I thought they would but I'll let you guys know if I make a permanent change and what day that'll be if so.

I will say though that the next update after the 1st is also going to be on Sunday, March 8th instead since I'll be busy on Saturday and won't have time to work on anything! In fact, I'm probably going to be fairly busy the entirety of the first week of March since I'll be out of town for half the week, and the other half I have plans taking me out of the house for a lot of it so do expect little activity from me then. I'll still be around to reply to messages and I will be free at nights to work on things if I'm in the mood to but I just wanted to give you all a heads up in case I can't do as much as I'd like to!

Wishing Stars

Kindly take a total max of 2 cards per deck if there are no restrictions indicated.

  1. EnderI wish for 1 of each coupon type!    Please see the "Wishing Details" above for more info!
  2. CassidyI wish for 5 choice cards from brown, red, or pink decks!

I spent most of mine sleeping today but I'll be enjoying the rest of it (after this update) snacking on Valentine's treats and playing games or watching videos so I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your day too, whatever you end up doing!

TCG NEWS

We'll start things off with a Site Milestone to celebrate Valentine's Day! Anyone can take this as long as you joined before today.


ev-valentines2026

Prejoin Rewards have been sent out, which includes everything from donations (both decks submitted pre-prejoin and prejoin, as well as graphics) to games but please double check what you received and make sure it matches what the Prejoin Rewards Tracker says you should've earned! If you're missing anything, please report it in general errors so we can send you what's missing.

Anyone who hasn't yet can continue to post their lotto tickets from SPARKLING! Lotto as well! We'll keep sending out prizes from that until everyone who participated has claimed theirs. See the winning numbers and use the prize claim form HERE!

There have been a few card fixes made since opening and while I've been announcing when they were updated on our Discord because there weren't many to fix or they were too small to make a whole zip file for download, I've finally compiled the first one and posted it in the Card Fixes thread for more visibility. The most important fix is to the yudukiteramitsu-chocolatefruit deck released last week, which was previously teramitsuyuduki-chocolatefruit - please update any cards you may have from that deck with its new filename (bolded) ASAP if you haven't yet! This is important for logs so that's why I wanted to mention it and finally compiled this first card fixes batch.

EVENT UPDATES

The White Valentine Month mini event has been changed a bit so there are now different tiers depending on how much the decks donated/mastered relate to or display the theme (Valentine's and/or White Day). I also tried to make it clearer about what images/decks will qualify for each tier with more detailed and concrete descriptions and guidelines along with finally compiling a list of accepted decks for the mastery challenge so with these changes, I hope it's less confusing trying to figure out what will count or not!

Additionally, with the second tier of rewards, I also hope this makes it easier to find images to donate or decks to master that will still count as participating in the event (and to help with the Encore songs in Sparkling Tour if you chose any of those tasks) even if it gives you slightly less rewards. You can read more about the changes and additional info in the event thread!

If you already filled out a MASTERY VERIFICATION form, please make sure you update it with the new version of the form which separates Tier 1 and Tier 2 decks! Some of you may only receive rewards from TIER 1 MASTERIES for now since saya (SPARKLING!'s general assistant) will be helping out with sending those, but rewards for Tier 2 masteries as well as both tiers for donations will be handled by me so those will be sent out a bit later.

If you do get any rewards, you should also be getting Heart Lollipops with each so make sure you log those as an event currency and keep track of how many you have! I meant to have the event shop ready for today but flopped as usual so I'll try to get that up before the weekend is over. Once it's done, I'll make an edit to this part of the update and announce it on the Discord so you guys can start using it ASAP if you'd like to (and once you have heart lollipops to spend, of course)!

GAME UPDATES

This month's Collab Stage only has 4 more spots left, while the following series are currently maxed so no more images can be donated from them: BanG Dream! · Ensemble Stars! · THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS · Uta no☆Prince-sama. If you wanted to participate, you still have until the end of the month to submit an image! If the deck isn't finished by next Saturday (the 21st), I will open it up for second donations from anyone who has already participated.

There has been a weird issue with Group Collect where some players may be receiving additional rewards being sent to them for it, despite already collecting their reward from it earlier - if this happens to you, DO NOT CLAIM IT; please report it in general errors instead so we can delete that reward from your account!

I don't know why it's sending duplicate rewards on its own so I'm not sure how to fix it either, which means we will likely be switching Group Collect to the forums starting next month since donations were being approved (and thus rewards being sent out) manually by me anyways. That said, if there are still spots left in this month's Group Collect by next Saturday (the 21st), I will open it up for second donations from anyone who has already participated then as well!

COMING SOON

I almost forgot but I *WILL* send out rewards for last month's Special Challenge after this update, and post a new round for February before the weekend is over - I am promising this here so I actually follow through and stop forgetting!!!!! (EDIT: Rewards for January's round have been sent! Please error report on the forums if you were missed or got the wrong reward amounts, thanks!!)

Other than that, I'll see you guys again next week on February 21st for the new update lmao Don't forget to participate in Your Idol before then if you want to, as a new round will be posted later that day!

FREEBIES

To celebrate Valentine's Day, everyone can take 5 random cards from each of the Red, Pink, and Brown sections on the Colour Randomizer page! While you can pick which 5 cards you want from each section, you CANNOT REFRESH the page for new cards to choose from. Once you have a total of 15 cards (5 from each colour), please comment on the update or edit your existing comment with what you grabbed and log it as Freebies (2026-02-14) to verify your cards since we won't be adding them to your account logs. No comment = invalid log so don't forget!

Wishing Stars

Kindly take a total max of 2 cards per deck if there are no restrictions indicated.
