Utano☆Princesama: Shining Live for Android
The mix of rhythm game, visual novel and card collection gives players plenty to do, and keeps me playing for long periods. Ren and Ai are two of my favourite 2D idols, and I'm sure the game is most enjoyable for existing UtaPri fans, but if you're not already a fan and it looks like your kind of game, definitely give it a go! The subs are not perfect, but it doesn't greatly impact the game for me. I'd love to see this get plenty of support to pave the way for more localisations of other similar games.
I've been obsessed with UtaPri ever since I watched the anime and honestly now I'm so happy that I've now the chance to play with the characters that I love. Even though it's not the otome, yet I can still really enjoy this. Plus, it's a mixture of my two favourite types of games; rhythm and story. All in all 10/10 I love it <3 (I'm also possibly bais so take my review with a grain of salt lol)
Gonna give it straight better than love live, the game itself is not as harsh on you as love live and actually lets you enjoy the song as well as not having evasive pop up idols for when they're special abilities activate. As a huge Uta-Pri fan I am also very thankful for this game and all the hardwork that was put into it! Side note, the chracters move but they're still 2D I don't get it, the staff used some sorcerery here but it looks soooooooooooo good even thought its a mobile game!
The translation is cold without any respect to the original characters. The translation is slightly off; it's not a matter of localization, which is unnecessary because many fans have been fans of utapri for nearly a decade, but this conveys slightly different personalities to new fans, and creates tension with new fans. Please consider long time fans' feelings with these translations.
As a fan of the series for about a year now more or less, I was ecstatic when I heard this was receiving a Western release!!! My only complaint so far is the translation. Compared to the anime, I feel like some of the lines in the game are weird; some lines were possibly translated differently to sound more Western imo or they just come off as weirdly written but for all I know that is what was said in the JP version, which may be fine if it wasn't for the probable fact that most people who will play this game are the new fans who recently were exposed to the series or fans of the series for a long time. Besides that, I do really enjoy this game. Definitely recommend!
First off, let me start off with a HUGE thank you, to both Broccoli & KLab. I've loved Uta no Prince Sama for 4 or 5 years now. This game is the first time you have catered to the western/English fans, and I am so, so grateful! It means so much to me to see my favorite boys talk to me & getting to understand every word. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much! Secondly, I love this game. I've played the Japanese version & spent money on it because I enjoyed it so much. It is an incredibly fun & challenging game, and this version is no different. My one, tiny critique is that some of the dialogue seems a little off from their personalities, but at the very worse it just makes me laugh a bit! This franchise has done more for me than I could ever say. Thank you so much for this, and for everything!
The rhythm icons never tap to the beat. I've done LOADS of fiddling with timing, but this issue never goes away. It's not too noticeable on lower difficulty, but if you're a seasoned tap-tapper and start off on PRO like me, it's absolutely infuriating. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP. everything else is fantastic and runs beautifully.
I've been playing the JP version for a while and I'm glad that it got an Eng translation but my only issue with the game is the storage. I had more than enough space, plus I've even deleted a bunch of stuff and saved the app to my SD card, but it still said insufficient storage in the beginning. The beat maps don't match with my taps, and it tends to lag a lot when playing. Otherwise Shining Live is a good game!
I've only played for the past few days since it was released and I LOVE IT!!!!! It's addicting and the design is very good. The only thing is upsetting how large the file is for the game. It takes up most of my storage and hopefully in the future there will be a lite version like there is for love live! ????????
Easy to play, visually beautiful and entertaining. I'm not a fan of the anime, but the songs are enjoyable and fun. My only complain is that double notes (touched at the same time) are not recognized by touch, only one is recognized. I don't know if that happens only on my mobile, but in the middle of the song, the screen turns by itself.
It says there isn't enough storage space on my phone yet this is the only app on my phone I have 2.43gb of space and this game says I don't have enough and have to delete stuff for it to work. If I knew this game would work I wouldn't have installed it in the first place. Waited years for a utapri game to be available in English that I could play. Finally get one and it doesn't even work.
I went in blind and was not disappointed. I must say that this is, for now, way better than love life. I may not have a previous bond with the boys like many other reviews here but they are quickly growing on me and making me wanna watch their anime.
So far, I am totally loving this game~! I'm a bit biased because I've loved the UtaPri series for a while now, but I still definitely think this game can definitely stand up on its own merits even to newcomers! I've played other mobile-rhythm games before, and this can absolutely be compared very favourably to those; very little to complain about gameplay-wise. Graphically, the game is super pretty too! Love the moving sprites~ ^^ As for the story and stuff, I haven't gotten too far yet, so it's all been pretty cute, surface-level stuff so far. I hope as time goes on, we'll get to explore the characters and stuff much deeper ????
Great gacha music game! Comes with some of the problems gacha games can have, of course, but so far free currency is plentiful. The art is gorgeous, there's tons of voice acting, and the music is good. I've had some problems with my phone occasionally not registering hits, but I've had that problem with other games as well, so I think it's a problem with my phone.
I have been waiting for an Utapri mobile Game for so long! Its so wonderful seeing one that gives you plenty of opportunities to earn the gem/prisms that are so hard to come by in any other rhythm game! Plus I just love the boys so much.
I've been waiting for this game to have an english version, and IT IS AWESOME. it's a full voice in the side story, the main idol on home game, and even the songs are awesome. Its just a shame that the are no Heavens, yet. But for the graphics etc it is extremely awesome. LOVE IT ❤❤❤
I've been a fan of utapri for the past two years and I was hyped up when I saw this game! I can't wait until the 5th season and apparently there's gonna be a movie as well. But I have one cpmplaint: Where's my boys from HEAVENS!?!?
I've been waiting on the English release of this game!!! Thank you so much KLab!! I may not be the best at rhythm games but I am sure as heaven that I'm having a blast with this!! Reiji and Tokiya are my boos!;D Anywho the graphics are stunning and their cg sprites move-yes gurl look at them! It may not be the otome game that I've been dreaming about but its close enough with some episodes and side stories. My thing is maybe add subtitles when they show a preview of their new voice clip? Not all of us understand Japanese but hey im not complaining!
I absolutely adore UtaPri, and I would love to give a good review of this game but... I can't. Why? Because I cant even access the game. It says insufficient storage, even though I know I have more than enough. Hopefully this will be fixed so I can give this game a proper review.
I don't even like UtaPri that much - I think it's cheesy and poorly written - but this is a really solid game. The notecharts are great and there's lots to do. Despite not being an UtaPri fan, I'm having a lot of fun playing anyway! Nice job.
I don't know if it's just me but I'm having a problem with long loading times and the beat map lags a lot. I don't feel like I'm playing a rhythm game, I feel like I'm watching the notes and waiting to hit them.no amount of adjusting the timing is helping me, either.
I like this game! It's my first mobile rhythm game. c: my only complaint would be that it takes a long time to load certain things (unlocking animations, for example).
Well I can see the network error thing still isn't fixed. But I've played the japanese version so I know what it's like and I'd give it a 5 out of 5
okay so I just want to know how much data storage I need for me to pass that 'attention low data storage 'little screen cuz I've deleted more than 5 apps , photos , music , and other data and still nothing I have an SD card and I tried putting it there and it appears is there but is like not even the SD card is enough so I just wanna know how much is it cuz I might just not be able to play it at all.. Thank you..
Somehow managed to clear out enough space to download the 1900mb... but now my device is telling me storage space is running out... Well at least I get to play for now... Started figuring some things out. Lags less after removing the glowsticks... But now I have a different complaint, the long tap light streak is too pale. I can barely see it when a music video plays in the background. Can there be more options to change not just the buttons, but the streaks as well?
I can't access the game at all due to insufficient storage. I've deleted many apps but still unable to play the game. Please let me know how much storage is required for this game. Thanks.
Takes up a ton of space. If you keep getting the error, keep going, it's not a glitch. I had to clear a fourth of my phone space for referance. Other than that, it's even better than Love Live.
Perfect. I've been playing the JP ver since it was release last year, EN ver is exactly the same so controls and everything has no problem. You just need to get used with the timing for first time players, it's not really easy it's kinda more precise than other rhythm games. I have no problem with it. The 2.5 live animation of my babies are top notch ???? but since the EN server is just starting maybe don't make the standards for ranking events same as JP? You just started operating yesterday then you throw us a REN event with the same pts need to be gathered as JP? Don't make it an obvious P2W event. Other than that, once we are given time to lvl up our cards things would go smoothly if you put dedication in these ranking events, it won't be impossible for free players. Unlike the event now :P
I've loved UtaPri since I saw the anime and when I found out this was coming out I got so excited and it's exciting it's finally released! The only problem is... I love them all so much! It's so hard to choose!
What can I honestly say other than I really love this game. All of the characters are beautifully rendered and the songs are just phenomenal. My personal favorite is Oresama Rondo. I literally can't get enough of this song (thankfully it's in the event for me to grind and listen to endlessly for now). Also on a side note could you perhaps work on the lag issues that happens during a Live Show when you're using Bluetooth headphones? It's quite irritating, but overall very F2P and easy to pick up.
I want to like it more than I do. It's a money grab simply. The difficulty gap between normal/hard/pro is jagged and the storyline leaves much to be desired. A lot of struggle for very little to no reward. Also, who's idea was an event with only 2 cards?
Why i can't play this game due to insufficient storage?? Even though i already freed my storage to 1.12 GB free. I really love utapri since long time ago, i felt happy when i knew this game but kinda disappointed because of that storage problem. I would really appreciate it if you can help or fix that problem, thanks Or can you add the same choices like in the Love Live, which you can download the full one or the efficient one
First off, thank you very much to Broccoli and Klab for allowing this awesome game to exist! I have been dreaming of playing this ever since I started on UtaPri in 2012, so this is a dream come true for me. Honestly speaking, this game is much nicer as compared to LoveLive during the Live Shows (thank you!!!!) That is the best feature for a rhythm-game inexperienced person (me ????). However, if it must say, the design interface for LoveLive's unit editing is much better. That allows viewing card stats simultaneously by swiping rather than having to exit each time.
Thank y'all so much for localizing this game. I am a long time utapri fan and it means so much to me. The game is amazing. Please consider localizing more of the games in the future, I will definitely buy them qwq
At first I was disappointed by the slow loading speed and too many loading screens to navigate from the menu, unlike Love Live, which is also a heavy game but doesn't slow my phone at all; but luckily it got a bit better now. Even though the gameplay is a bit more complex than Love Live, the eargasm is irresistible, especially Ranmaru. I hope the game will run as smoothly as Love Live eventually, as the audience grows ????
UtaPri is finally out in English and Chinese! It plays just like the JP version of the game, amd even the events seem to be timed the same. The side stories from the cards are fully voiced and translated! If you like idols and/or rhythm games, give it a try!
Can someone tell me how much space is needed after download? I made 1.38GB space and it's still asking for more. I love Uta Pri and I love KLab. But this storage problem is really annoying me.
I'm on a note 8 and it seems like some of the graphics are not as good as they could be. Also the timing seems really off like 0 seems to be no where near making the note move with the tambourine sound.
I've cleaned over two GB on my phone yet I cannot get past the low storage message. I was so excited to play and now it's just giving me problems, along with many others as I see on the other comments. I hope this is just an app problem, and maybe get a compensation for our troubles.

I've waited forever for this game in English but also for a English release of any Utapri game in general! If you're familiar with Love Live! School Idol Festival then the gameplay is very similar, though with improvements I wouldn't mind seeing Klab bring over to Love Live in the future if possible! My only real complaint is translation quality which seems off at times compared to the English releases of the anime but otherwise I'm glad to see this game released!
