Welcome to The Break Room! This is a general question and free talk thread for asking questions about Starlight Stage, posting gacha results that don’t meet the luck post exceptions, posting smaller achievements, and discussing anything else related to the game that wouldn’t warrant a standalone thread!

Before you post a question, be sure to:

  • Check the FAQ below for an answer to your question or look through the misc FAQ!
  • Encountered a bug / glitch? Check on Game Bugs for current bugs before posting!
  • Check to see if your question was already answered in this thread (or the previous Q&A threads)

Congratulations to /u/plusod for winning the U149 Giveaway! Thank you to everyone who participated, there may be other opportunities like this in the future.


FINALLY GOT HER, MY HANDS HURT FROM PLAYING NIGHT WEAR BUT IT WAS WOTH IT!!!

Live Parade Keyboard mode Rank 3 Score

The state of affairs of dmm where one point gets you gold trophy and an unideal team can get you podium…

having watched the first episode of U149, i wish there’d be another season of dereani but produced by the same studio as U149.

U149’s art direction / production level is so mesmerizing.


Not perfect since I tried to recreate the u149 office

hello, i have a question regarding adding funds to your game in order to purchase jewels, the monthly sub, etc. im an iOS user and previously the only way was to purchase JP iTunes gift cards repeatedly. has anyone found a way to purchase directly using, for example, paypal?

Sorry to ask a question again but I can’t find the setting to change the default note speed again. I know I used it before to set it to 9.4 but now that’s a little slow for me and it’s a bit annoying to adjust it on every song.

Edit: it’s on the same menu where you set the note speed for each song, the top option (“全ての楽曲に反映する”). Thought that button was for flipping note charts. :sweat_smile:

PSA: No U149 episode today. Only a recap episode. Episode 8 will be next Wednesday on 31st May.

Hi. I got a few questions

  1. Does DMM work on a laptop and can I play the same account simultaneously on phone and pc/laptop?

  2. How do you rank high in a ranking event? I am looking at around 1000-2000 from what I am seeing, the points required for the latest event nightwear is just insane. Do they just play this game 24/7 during events?

  3. From what I am seeing, the best team right now is cinderella magic center along with a refrain, life sparkle, mutual and a myidol concentration. Should I try to make this team if possible?(allocating 10 potential to life) I do have a few myidols with low levels and stats. Can I use them in the next myidol events or do I have to start from scratch and farm the stats from level 1 again?

Hi! Veteran player returning on a new device! So I used to play on Android and I’m switching to IOS. I was trying to get my data that was bound to my BandaiID, and when I checked it on the website it says I have 2 connections, one for Android and one for IOS? I’m assuming my info is on my Android one as I haven’t the touched the game on IOS until now. I keep getting the 3066 error when I try to connect my data but I know I have definitely finished the tutorial lmao. So I’m thinking it’s the other issue. Is there a way to delete that IOS data?

edit: nvm I completely forgot I had 2 diff Bandai accounts, managed to get the right one going!!

Peak charting in Hajimete no Chu MASTER+ with the >!overlapping slides!<

Quick question for the mod team: are we participating in the reddit blackout on June 12-14?

I know we are a really small subreddit and we don’t have an active scene, but I think it’s important to raise some awareness of the “crisis” at hand.

Cats our mascot, I finally fixed the 3rd floor

Discussion Megathread

Is the gacha rigged or do I have hotaru’s luck? I did 70 rolls on the limited banner hoping to get kako because not only is kako one of my fav cool idol, I also have a kanade dance ensemble and asuka alternative both 6s timer but guess what? Out of the 70 pulls only 1 ssr and its a perm. I can still farm more jewels in 2 days but I don’t think I have the motivation to play anymore if I fail to get even a single limited after trying a few more pulls

  • Nagi Hisakawa (E/A)
  • Mirei Hayasaka (E/A)
  • Anzu Futaba (E/A)
  • Natsuki Kimura (E/A)
  • Ranko Kanzaki (E/A)
  • Rin Shibuya (E/A)
  • Mio Honda (E/A)
  • Syoko Hoshi (E/A)
  • Chieri Ogata (E/A)
  • Hajime Fujiwara (E/A)
  • Yoshino Yorita (E/A)
  • Kyoko Igarashi (E/A)
  • Miyu Mifune (E/A)
  • Anastasia (E/A)
  • Yuko Hori (E/A)
  • Mayu Sakuma (E/M)
  • Kanade Hayami (E/M)
  • Mika Jougasaki (E/M)
  • Uzuki Shimamura (E/M)
  • Shin Sato (E/M)
  • Nao Kamiya (E/M)
  • Frederica Miyamoto (E/M)
  • Airi Totoki (E/M)
  • Kako Takafuji (E/M)
  • Yui Otsuki (A/M)
  • Natalia (A/M)
  • Fumika Sagisawa (A/M)
  • Sae Kobayakawa (A/M)
  • Asuka Ninomiya (A/M)

From this list, not a single idol holds all three for now. This is why I’m uncertain whether Rin will start SSR8 or will it be Frederica.
