Disney Sparklink Stars launches in Japan with 1M prereg rewards

Key takeaways

  • Launched in Japan today; three-day YouTube livestream at 20:00 (UTC+9)
  • Pre-registration reached 1,000,000 — rewards include Dance/Singing/Performance S items
  • Platforms: iOS and Android; game is free-to-play with in-app purchases

Disney Sparklink Stars, developed by coly, launched today in Japan and the team is marking the release with a three-day livestream series on the game’s official YouTube channel. The live shows start each night at 20:00 (UTC+9) and will share game details, feature several voice cast guests, and reveal new Animate Girls Festival 2026 merchandise for the first time.

The game world is set on Luminastia, an island where inner feelings turn into dancing light called "Sparkles." Players take the role of an event planner for Luminastia’s Sparkride stage, guiding rookie performers called Sparkriders toward their dreams. You’ll build relationships with each Sparkrider, manage their training and performances, and climb the ladder of shows to unlock new scenes and rewards. The description promises "sights no one has seen before," so expect story beats tied to the island’s sparkling motifs.

Pre-registration passed one million users, and coly is handing out a packaged reward set to everyone who logs in after finishing the tutorial. The bundle includes Sparkrider development items (Dance S, Singing S, Performance S), 20 admission letters, three PP drinks, 5,000 Lume, and a ★3 Memory for your chosen Sparkrider awarded when you complete the tutorial. All prereg rewards are claimable from the in-game gift box after the new-player tutorial ends.

To celebrate launch, the official program “Sparlik BACKSTAGE! — Launch Commemoration 3-Day Live!” runs on YouTube at 20:00 (UTC+9) each day and will host voice actors from the game as guests. Separately, customizable D-Made merchandise is available through Disneystore D-Made and Disneystore.jp, letting fans create original items featuring their favorite characters and styles.

Why it matters

Takeaway: anyone who preregistered now starts the game with high-tier training boosts and an immediate ★3 Memory for a chosen Sparkrider, which gives new players a clear early advantage in developing their team.
