 | 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 NEWSWe'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 UPDATESThe 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 UPDATESThis 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 SOONI 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! FREEBIESTo 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 StarsKindly take a total max of 2 cards per deck if there are no restrictions indicated.
New ReleasesYou may take a total of 30 cards from the new decks but no more than 2 cards per deck, unless otherwise stated above.                               airimomoi-sweetdessertcafe, akitoshinonome-festivaldelight, arisaichigaya-chocolateykeyboardist, eliayase-bathedinmoonlight, hanamarukunikida-sunlitforest, hifumiizanami-greenery, himariuehara-aboxofchocolates, himeru-leapoffortune, hiyoritomoe-warmholidaybear, jacklyn-hypedupdrummer, kafkaoguro-promiseofforever, kanatashinkai-sunshineandsprinkles, karinasaka-catcafe, kentoaizome-petalcleanse, kukoharai-dressedtoimpress, lukamegurine-cosmeticlove, mayatendo-queenofhearts, michirukaibara-popdecoration, mikakagehira-dragonemperor, ranmarukurosaki-atableofchocolates, rinshibuya-bluerosebride, sakuyashirase-arosebyanyothername, setsunayuuki-forestfae, takaneshijou-snowglobememories, tamakiyotsuba-poutypocky, tennkujo-wisekingofbluewater, toukokirigaya-ebonyandivory, toyaaoyagi-aquaticsymphony, tsukasatenma-cakesandplushies, tsuzuruminagi-canyouhandleme Click here to submit your deck release pulls! |

 | Let me first apologize for this update being posted a day late! I explained why on the Discord a little bit but to get into a little more detail, I've been in a mood lately (and lowkey stressed with how many errors have been popping up since opening; even though I expected it to an extent, I guess I was not truly prepared lol), among other things, and didn't want to take it out on anyone so I've been less present while trying to take a quick break and focusing on some other interests as a refresher! My sleep schedule has also been terrible and I think it's throwing my body and brain off so I've been struggling wanting to sit down and work on anything, so I also apologize for the delay in replying to things, both on the forums and in my DMs. I believe I'll be getting to some things after this, and I'll reply to my DMs regarding TCG stuff soon so please give me a little bit more time! I'm not ignoring anyone, I am just trying to sort things out ;; I bring all this up because knowing myself, this is probably not going to be the last time something like this happens, but also as a reminder: I get overwhelmed easily which usually makes me become avoidant of whatever is causing that feeling but I will get to things eventually! Thankfully, no one's been rushing me to do anything but I just wanted to put this out there as a reminder, and also to say I appreciate everyone's understanding! Additionally, please know I *do* see your messages and will respond to them when I can, and sometimes that means waiting until I'm in the right mindset to even if I'm online but doing other stuff. Anyways! Enough about that, let's get this update done! TCG NEWSI think I'll be sending out Prejoin Rewards, including SPARKLING! Lotto prizes, later this week (hopefully, anyways lmao) so if you'd like to be included in this batch of SPARKLING! Lotto rewards and haven't posted your form yet, make sure you do so ASAP - although it will remain open for prize claims until the end of March, with the possibility of an extension if needed. Special Challenge rewards from January's round will also be sent out this week!You'll also notice 30 decks being released this week; I think this is going to be the norm for a bit since we have so many decks on upcoming right now thanks to our hard working makers so hopefully I can get more decks out that you'll guys need for games and activities! However, please understand that with the limited amount of series we accept donations for that there's inevitably going to be more representation of some series than others. Especially since half the release is decided entirely by votes and the rest I try to include what I notice/remember players needing for things (e.g. DreamFes units, fan club entries, any events going on) while also trying to have as much variety across series/characters as possible, it's super difficult to have a relatively good balance but I'm trying!! Not to mention, if we have a lot of donations from a handful of certain series then of course there's going to be more decks of that series to be released - so do keep in mind that I truly try to keep my bias out of deciding releases but sometimes it's just not possible to and that's why we'll sometimes have multiple decks released of the same characters in a short period :') EVENT UPDATESI am still working on the list of accepted decks that you can get bonus rewards from in the White Valentine Month mini event so please wait a bit more for it! I was trying to avoid making one because it'd be more work for me to do but I see there's been a lot of worry and confusion over what counts or not so I will get that ready as soon as I can. I might make a couple of adjustments to this part of the event, hopefully for the better, but I'll announce it on Saturday if I go through with it! If I do, this won't affect anything already turned in/planned so please don't worry; it would just be an addition to what may be accepted.As for donations, it'll be more difficult to have a clear cut list of what would be accepted or not so my only advice is to look at an image and ask yourself: "If I had no context about this image's source/origins and only looked at what it is showing me, would I think of Valentine's or White Day?" Just because a card was part of a Valentine's/White Day set, doesn't mean it *looks* like it even if everyone who plays the game knows that. Images with stuff like lots of hearts or someone giving a gift doesn't necessarily always mean it's Valentine's related either so if you're planning on donating themed images to get bonus rewards, please do so with the understanding that they may not end up counting after all but you will use up your monthly donation slots regardless! I'm sorry there's not an easier way of figuring things out otherwise without taking this chance so please bear with it just for this event if you really do want the bonus rewards - I'll likely only do something like this again if the theme is more obvious/clear! GAME UPDATESWe were able to finish up Collab Stage from last month (Sparkling Debut) fairly quickly so a new round for this month (Valentine's) has already started, however there's already only SEVEN (7) spots left! The following series are also currently maxed out so no more images can be donated from it for now: THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS and Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ whereas some series are nearing maxed donations so if you haven't submitted an image yet and want to, get yours in there ASAP~ Please also double check your image link is working as I've noticed some show up as being deleted/not loading when I've checked periodically!The results for Your Idol's last round are available over here and a new round has been posted! Dhee will likely post in the Discord once rewards have been sent out later, so look out for that once she's able to! There was an error with the Upcoming Vote form not counting the last two decks submitted in the form so I apologize that vote counts for whatever decks everyone has been selecting in the #4 and #5 spots have not been correctly updated since opening! This should be fixed now but let me know if you notice otherwise. Lastly, Artist Profiling has had the choice card removed from it's reward again because it was still not working properly so I'm sorry to do that once more! If I ever get it resolved, it will be added back in at the beginning of a new month (whenever that month may be) so make sure to go ahead and play it before the end of the month if you noticed that and were waiting for it to be added back. COMING SOONSorry for more walls of text to read but it will happen again so thank you to everyone who actually reads my yapping! The next update will be on February 14th if everything goes to plan so see you then :3Wishing StarsKindly take a total max of 2 cards per deck if there are no restrictions indicated.
