The Sparkling World of 'Onegai AiPuri'
The highly anticipated amusement game, 'Onegai AiPuri 1-Dan', developed by Takara Tomy Arts, is set to launch on April 2, 2026, ahead of the new television anime that begins airing on April 5. This latest installment in the popular Pretty Series introduces an array of exciting features, characters, and events sure to delight fans of all ages.
Game Features
In 'Onegai AiPuri 1-Dan', players will find the W-protagonists 'Inori' and 'Aoi' along with a dazzling new character named 'Gumi'. Each character will boast unique Buzzrium coordination designs that enhance the game-playing experience. The aesthetics of the game are bright and inviting, designed to transport players into a world of live performances filled with vibrant colors and joy.
The gameplay mechanics involve using an 'AiPuri Card', which players can move on a flat panel in accordance with the on-screen displays for an immersive rhythm gaming experience. With a large horizontal monitor, the game mirrors the dances and performances seen in the anime. Players aim for high scores while fully embodying their favorite anime characters, experiencing the dazzling 'Buzzrium Change' where outfits light up and transform on-screen.
In addition to the existing characters, the introduction of Gumi adds a new layer of excitement. Her special card features a foil-pressed design, inspired by sweets, providing a special feeling for players as they engage in sparkly live performances.
Duo Coordination and Surprise Elements
Moreover, in this new installment, collaboration features have been expanded as the game introduces duo cards representing 'Inori' and 'Aoi'. With a new song called 'Tokimeki♡Jump!', these duo cards allow players to experience the thrill of performing together, enriching the gameplay further.
Fans of the 'Onegai AiPuri' series can also look forward to a surprise similar to the cinema debut of 'Inori' and 'Aoi' in the film 'Himitsu no AiPuri: Mankai Buzzrium Live!'. This event will mark the launch of the 'Yuujou Sakura Twin' coordination card, connecting the film and the new game in a meaningful way.
Not Just a Game – A Celebration
Another exciting aspect of the launch is the collaboration with the popular Harajuku influencer 'Shinako'. The new collaboration outfits, characterized by polka dots, checks, and stripes, will enable players to dress 'Inori' and 'Aoi' in delightful fashions that resonate particularly with the younger demographic.
New Merchandise Opportunities
To accompany the game launch, collectible items such as rubber mascots will also be available through the gacha (capsule toy) system. Fans can find characters like 'Inori', 'Aoi', and 'Gumi', each with a charming design attached to a ball chain, available for just 300 yen. This provides an opportunity for fans to further engage with the 'Onegai AiPuri' universe.
Upcoming Events
In alignment with the launch, a special campaign will roll out, featuring a card that illustrates the transition from 'Himitsu no AiPuri' to 'Onegai AiPuri'. This design will visually capture the handoff from characters like 'Himari' and 'Mitsuki' to 'Inori' and 'Aoi', celebrating the lineage of the series while rewarding loyal fans.
