The latest limited live concert event in Uta no Prince-sama: Shining Live wrapped up yesterday, and many players have already managed to unlock Natsuki’s new look through dedicated grinding. The game has also confirmed its appearance at CP22, raising speculation that a major update could arrive this month. For loyal fans, keeping an eye on the latest announcements is essential — the next surprise might be just around the corner. Within the Crickex Affiliate community, discussions are already buzzing about what new features or content could debut alongside the event.

It has been just over two months since the official launch of the simplified Chinese version, and its schedule of rhythm and photo-shoot events has largely mirrored the Japanese server. However, no major gameplay updates have been rolled out yet. Comparing to the same period on the Japanese server last November, players there enjoyed not only the usual music and photo events but also the addition of an AR camera feature and two exclusive song MVs. Many are wondering if the Chinese server will follow suit, giving players the chance to enjoy stunning dance performances while playing through their favorite songs. Crickex Affiliate members are particularly hopeful that such updates could enrich both gameplay and fan engagement.

In addition to music events, the latest limited card pool has been updated with the “Starlight Snowy Night Christmas Concert” photo-shoot theme. As one of the most significant ACG conventions in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta, CP draws enormous attention from both fans and major publishers. Having recently participated in Japan’s AnimeJapan event in March, Uta no Prince-sama: Shining Live is making sure not to miss this prime promotional opportunity.

The game’s appearance at CP22 marks its first showcase at a major domestic convention since the launch of its simplified Chinese edition. Attendees can expect an immersive experience that captures the game’s charm, from live demonstrations to themed displays. For ACG enthusiasts in Shanghai, this season is packed with must-visit events — from the buzzworthy Wonder Festival Shanghai to the highly anticipated CP22, which has already opened ticket sales.

Following its participation at the Firefly Animation Expo in Guangzhou, the official confirmation of CP22 attendance signals another step in the game’s domestic expansion. CP has evolved from a small doujin gathering into a massive convention attracting top publishers, and Uta no Prince-sama: Shining Live is poised to deliver engaging content for fans on-site. Even though the princes’ winter outfits may feel a little out of season, their charm remains undiminished — something Crickex Affiliate fans are more than happy to celebrate.
