On the evening of May 25, 2026, the official Idolmaster Million Live! Theater Days (Millishita) account held a live stream titled 'The Ultimate Cute Pre-9th-Anniversary Millishita Broadcast,' packed with announcements that sent the fanbase into celebration mode on X. The headline reveal was the addition of 'Platinum Star Team ~I Swam Because I Couldn't Fly~' to MILLIONLIVE!

ANIMATION STAGE, a game mode that brings the Million Live! anime (Milliani) world into the mobile game. This new event is scheduled to launch on Sunday, May 31.

The MV for the song 'Tobenai Boku wa Oyoida' (I Swam Because I Couldn't Fly) was also premiered during the broadcast. Equally exciting for fans was the announcement that the Million Live! anime OVA will receive an additional production run and go back on sale.

The OVA had apparently been difficult to obtain, and the reprint news was met with widespread celebration — posts like 'The Million Live OVA is back on sale!' flooded X within minutes of the announcement. A giveaway campaign was also launched simultaneously: following the official account and posting with the event hashtag entered fans into a draw for a signed hand-drawn illustration shikishi (1 winner) or a reproduction illustration shikishi (20 winners).

This campaign requirement directly contributed to the hashtag's surge in volume. Looking further ahead, the stream also teased 'BATTLE OF THEATER Platinum Star Tour Bingo ~INVISIBLE LIGHT~' for mid-June, with SR cards for characters Ibuki Tsubasa and Fukuda Noriko previewed.

What to watch next: The ANIMATION STAGE event 'Platinum Star Team ~I Swam Because I Couldn't Fly~' launches May 31 — fans are eagerly anticipating the full story content. The mid-June BATTLE OF THEATER event and the OVA reprint sale will also be key moments for the community in the lead-up to the official 9th anniversary.
