Shining Nikki 5th Anni Livestream!
Hey, Shiny Designers! Hope you're ready for Monday, 'cause that's when our next anniversary event comes out...
The apocalypse has finally come! We've fought alongside Nikki throughout Vol. 3 to stabilize the anomalies in Miraland: from the Wasteland tower to the New Wing Island competition to the false God of Glory in Pigeon Kingdom. Has Leonid truly returned? Why is Modric against us now? And how can we stop the Doomsday god?
We're up to our biggest threat in Apocalypse Aeterni Diei, but with the help from our friends, we can push the Doomsday god back into the Ocean of Memories!
As we wait for the livestream to start, with about 11 minutes and 20 seconds to go, a montage starts, showing off various Designer's Reflection artworks and UR event trailers.
This loops until the countdown reaches 0:00, which is when our Miraland tour begins. We hop in a car with Nikki and Momo and travel around the continent. Gotta brush up on the seven different cultures if we're gonna save all seven countries from the Doomsday god.
We put our lives in Momo's paws as he steers us on our journey. As we soar through the air, he shares some bird facts with us (along with some custom, dyed stylings for each bird):
After all, one of the UR suits is based after a peacock, so why not look at other birds, too?
...Unfortunately, our next stop on this journey is a strange place, where a familiar figure hovers.
Last year, Nikki disappeared from the group during the livestream. But now, it's our turn to go missing! Who is that angelic figure? Can they help us come back? Or... did they make us disappear in the first place?
Thankfully, our hosts for the livestream interrupt this nightmare: one wearing the Twinkle Twinkle dress, and one donning a purple version of the God of Styling's moonlight dress.
They give us the first redeem code, STARSALIGN, where we will get:
-5 Star Cycle (event currency)
All the redeem codes are good until 12 July.
And then, we get some more trivia! This time, it's about the game.

Then, we have our first giveaway: HAPPY5THYEAR will grant 1,200 Pink Gems to 20 different players.
After premiering the anniversary trailer, we get a special look at the two new suits:
-Designer: Nikki/God of Starry Night
-Awakened Suit: To Heart, Forevermore
-Awakened Suit: Fall of Kingdom Come
So gorgeous! To keep the hype train going, we have another redeem code: STARSEAREUNION! This gives you:
-5 Star Cycle (event currency)
We then come across something either truly cute or truly cursed (depending on how you view it lol): a giant Momo!
Don't worry; he's just checking on the game devs and designers.
They've put so much thought into the story, even going so far as to share the doomsday prophecy back in Leonid's Prophecy. That was back during the blog's first anniversary! And Nikki remembers her power gained through the Star Sea dress, and finally transforms into the God of Starry Night herself! The BTS video is 12 minutes long, but it's worth watching how they crafted the anniversary story.
The next giveaway happens right after. Typing PINKHAIREDSAVIOR will reward 5 winners with a special Nikki merch bundle.
Even if you didn't win, that's okay. Everyone can enjoy this video of a costumer designing Nikki's starry god dress in real life!
Then, Nikki sings us a song. It's short, yet sweet.
And then, a special surprise: Nikki's free anniversary suit for us is actually 3 versions of the same suit!
Blossom Bound will have a UR, SSR, and SR version, changing the length, skirt cut, and accessories.
Are you already getting styling ideas? If you need more inspiration, we'll be getting more free suits.
If you're worried about Ophelia at the end of Vol. 3, don't worry. The God of Glory may have been trying to taunt Ophelia and lure her to her death, but she tells her story in the top-up SSR suit, Farewell to Nightfall. Did the Pigeon Queen find a mystery or a piece of the truth at the bottom of Lake Holy Light? We'll have to find out!
You think that's all the devs have in store for us? They actually have more things you can buy in the Golden Market (found on the Exchange page):
Suits, poses, scene props... we are getting spoiled this anniversary lol
Speaking of spoiled, we have our last redeem code. Typing 5THANNIV0629 will give you:
-5 Star Cycle (even currency)
The livestream starts coming to a close, but before that, we get a short animated film of Nikki at her Home on a night of shooting stars.
We then wake up back on the van with Momo and Nikki, who stay with us on our road trip across Miraland. Viewers have one more chance to win a giveaway, this time by typing GEMSCOMETOME. The three lucky winners will get 3,600 Pink Gems.
And a special surprise: a message from the voices of Nikki (Emma Ballantine) and Momo (Emma Tate)!
They also give us one more Nikki song! "Before the Beginning" is a bonus song we get for this anniversary.
Have a wonderful anniversary, Shiny Designers!
