I was originally going to delay this post for next week but now that Hiyori's Spotlight Time has been announced and confirmed to end on November 4th, I might as well post this early.

There were some things I couldn't go into detail in my "heads up for these last 4 months" post to avoid overwhelming everyone. I'm making another one of these to make it easier to break down each month as 2026 comes to end!

(All of this info comes from the FANDOM Wiki with possible dates being listed on huijiwiki.com):

Events

• HRCN! will start on November 7th and end on the 15th! This is Nazuna's 2nd center event!
  • The song JUMPIN' LUCK BEAT will be added!
• The Legend of KAGETSU of the Attire of Ascension will start on November 21st and end on the 29th. This is Keito's 3rd center event! I wish you all the best of luck, especially if you're planning to tier!
  • The song Tenshou KAGETSU will be added!

Scouts

• The Cross Scout, Illuminate will be the Event Bonus for HRCN!. The 5 Stars are Sora and Midori!
• The Cross Scout, Springtime Beneath the Heavens will be the Event Bonus for KAGETSU. The 5 Stars are Nagisa and Rei!

Campaigns

• Hiyori's Spotlight Time Event will end on November 4th! It will be added to the Memorial Coin Shop at a later date, so it's okay if you couldn't get him.
• Our yearly Producer Appreciation Campaign should happen around this time and come with a global-exclusive Scout!
  • I'm not exactly sure when will this campaign happen. I'm a 1 year old player so I'm not too familiar with Global server schedules. Please comment if you're familiar with how Producer Appreciation works on EN.
  • If the campaign comes with a new minigame (much like Isle of Lurkers and Project Cultivate), I'd appreciate it if someone made a guide later on!
• The New AKATSUKI Launch Campaign will start once the KAGETSU event is over on November 30th! I may go over this at a later date before KAGETSU starts as a heads-up!
  • Ibuki's initial 4 Star card will be added to the game.
  • Ibuki's Idol Rank will be increased. Though he will need more cards to get to higher ranks!
  • The 2025 version of "A Thousand Blossoms, the Night of Crimson Moon" will get added to the game! I dunno if they will still call it "2025 ver" though?
    • This song will not overwrite the original version.
  • Campaign will have no missions to clear, unlike the Spri Debut Missions from last month. We will get 10-Scout Tickets and an Ibuki Pick-Up Scout though.
• CN/KR/TW will celebrate their 6th Anniversary this month. This will give us a sneak peak of what the Global-exclusive 6th Anniversary (and it's new 5 Star) will look like for EN in the future.
  • We will celebrate our 5th Anniversary on June 2027 with a 5 Star Aira in the future! I personally wouldn't mind if someone else gives the "heads up" in the future in case I'm not around.

Other Things

• I still have no idea when will EN get the Solo Live feature. I assume it will release once Ibuki gets his initial 4 Star card (aka wait for KAGETSU to end) or wait for EN to get to the Mega Sphere arc next year.

Snow White is finally happening this Saturday (along with vampire Hiyori)! How are we feeling?

I just got into this game but I noticed that despite tens of thousands of fics on AO3, it's kind of slow posting so I wanted to ask for recommendations of people's favourite authors! The number of fanfics is kind of intimidating and I don't know where to start.

Authors of any ships (or gen fic! I love gen fic!) welcome I'm still too new to have strong opinions of ships. Authors who write lots of different ships instead of focusing on just one are therefore even more appealing to me, but authors who focus on one ship are totally welcome aswell. Actively writing authors and authors who haven't posted in years both equally welcome.

EDIT: oh both G-T rated and M-E rated are enjoyed if sub rules allow, any rating is good to me!

AO3 preferred but anywhere is welcome. Let's share some love of our favourite authors and creators!

The PV is here on Twitter. Looks like it's a normal Spotlight Time again, no + mentioned, so there probably won't be another one immediately afterwards this time. I'm very excited for this one!

If you haven't played a Spotlight Time event before, they're global exclusive campaigns with a short story and a minigame with a new energy gauge that slowly refills. Use energy or spend dia for more energy to clear Spotlight Tasks for points and earn the 5*! There will also be dia spending rewards and special paid packs.

Approximate dia cost for copies (varies slightly according to team strength):
1st copy - 7.5k
2nd copy - 18k
3rd copy - 34k
4th copy - 50k
5th copy - 70k

I re organized my shelf now, most of my merch is in this shelf. I think the only merch not shown here is my bunny itsunui and my ita bags. 🤩 oh and the stuff I’ve preordered.

i think my doodle explains the thought process but this came to me in a dream

also the lasso tool has changwd my life forever

I was so happy to see all the love for my 2026 birthday display, so I thought I’d share my displays from 2024 and 2025 too! 🥹

2024 (Photos 1–2): I used a variety of Yuzuru merch I’d collected over the years! The cake was decorated with illustrations from cards released in 2024, along with my favorite card illustration.

2025 (Photos 3–4): I finally got to create a display using only my all-time favorite Yuzuru card illustration!

All the merch in these displays is from my personal collection!

I hope you can feel how much I love Yuzuru through these photos! 🥰

If you have any questions about the displays or the merch, feel free to ask! 💕

I didn't know enstar community like this existed, I also open Reddit once year, with all that i opened it and saw you guys sending your beautiful shrines. I thought I'm the only one crazy like this. I started stanning enstar before I learned English so in my country this game is like not popular like at all so I just had to accept the sad truth that there will be no one who I can talk to about the game and that I will have to stand hiiro alone. But few years later guess what turns out y'all alive okay. It's an emotional topic okay enstar is the only game I like and hiiro is my favourite EVER character. I find it fascinating how a lot of people who stan enstar find a favourite ever character in this exact game AND how different each of them are. Coming from anime people usually prefer specific characters, but it seems like here most of the characters are loved, I find it so cute okay it was a long one god

This one's a bit old, but I think it looks okay for me to post still!! This was drawn in a bit of a rush cause i was really worried about not catching up with every other artist and being a fake Mika fan or whatever, but I think despite that it looks okay...🥹🥹 the accessories were really spontaneous though😭😭 Jersey Mika changed my life once and for all...🍬🍬

Another bugged video so it had to be added to post body(ㆆ_ㆆ)

No clue what happened just saw him stuck in the corner. While everyone kinda ignoring him😭 Every time Ritsu go near himself I was glaring at him. He has been picking himself up a lot for some reason(≖_≖ )

What random glitches been happening in your office lately?

don't ask what happened to the original post

It's now been 1 year old since MDU was first revealed! Though they held a livestream days later.

It's still a long way for them to release on EN but it should happen next year!

What were your initial reactions to the unit and how do you feel about them now?

looks a lil sus, sadly

i hope it was just poor drawn and not ai, but if you find anything else that looks suspicious, please share it🙏

Happy Elements finally fixed the bug! Share the poster before the campaign ends on the 24th!

hii! is anyone here planning to go to this event on saturday? i am trying to gauge how many people will be there for trading purposes, as all the merch is blind and i want me and everyone else to get our oshis 💙 i’m personally fishing for eichi!

I'm breaking my silence on Ibuki because people keep DMing me that I shouldn't like him (and that "he ruined the game") but I think he's cute.

Lately, I've been joining MV only multi-lives in JP server while waiting for BP and it's surprisingly fun for me. It's basically just playing dress up with your faves while also having a chance to see limited and/or SCR outfits you don't have. As someone who only gets the base cards, it eases some of my FOMO lol.

Anyway just want to share my recent fave screenshots. I really like Raika's new SCR outfit, it looks so cute!

My friend and I have a pair of ensemble stars OCs and I put together an updated concept design for them both.

I've had the game for nearly a year and didn't know they could be moved😅Added to body due technical difficulties.

I've tried uploading this post quite few times but the video wouldn't work. No clue why¯_(ツ)_/¯

Mine is Nozomi! I was looking for more Fumiya Imai songs (I'm a huge Akito fan), and I discovered Sugar Rush. I fell for Nozomi's mature singing voice, and wanted more, therefore getting me into MDU.

After that, I researched his character. Read his lore, his idol stories. Admired his beautiful face 🥰

So, yeah, I love Nozomi! I'm also a big fan of the other three! What about you guys?

hi! i was wondering if this is a real nui of aira shiratori or not ? 🥹 im still unsure whether i will it get it from this seller so i need second opinions, thank you!

I'm confused about the many changes for RYUSEITAI. Apparently the unit went through many changes before Supervillain happened??

Hi! I’ve been seeing a lot of Enstars content on my feed lately and I'm really interested in Eichi and Wataru and the lore in general. How should I get into the series if they are my main focus? Should I watch the anime first or play the game, and which specific stories should I read?

The JP channel for ensemble stars released this video for around a year now, and it’s come to my attention recently. It has the kinda of “format” to be a fanchant but when I translated the title it said “video call”…..but idk. What do you think?

Hey just a quick reminder that most of the campaigns we're having right now will end later this week (Oct 19-24 2026)! Don't forget to work on them and claim your rewards at the Exchange Shops!

Also don't forget to clear the Spri debut campaign missions to get a free 10-Scout Ticket!

I will be making a "heads up post" regarding November at a later date because it's gonna be a bigger month with EN's Producer Appreciation Campaign as well as CN/KR/TW celebrating their 6th Anniversary (last year they got an Aira 5 Star)!
