Frolic Along the Sakura Road: Japanese Sweets Event, Part 2!

by Tanudama · Published May 11, 2020 · Updated June 8, 2020

The second part of the newest sakura-themed event is in full swing in Mikucolle! Make sure to check out my first article if you’d like to catch up on what’s happened in part 1 of this event, or feel free to carry on reading if you’re already familiar with it!

(Update: and for info about the third part of this event, click here!)

※ You can also read my translations for the event dialogue (which appears when you play your first quest for the Easter event) at the end of this article!)

Quests

As well as the first set of quests (when you click on the purple banner with the trees), there is also a blue one at the top of the page:

The quests work in exactly the same as the ones for the purple banner, so if you need a refresh for how they work, you can quickly check what I said back in my previous article.

The only difference with these levels is that you’ll start to get blue gacha tickets instead of purple ones (you’ll also get some of those elusive yellow tickets by playing these levels). I’ll explain what the blue tickets are for in a moment!

※ Each time you clear a stage now, you’ll also be shown your “high score”. Anyone who gets enough points in the event will get a special card, so make sure you try to get to the higher levels and rack up those points! You can increase you high score by including any cards from the current sakura-themed gacha in your deck too! Usually it’s the top 100 highscorers who will get at least one copy of the prize card during these ranking competitions, so you’ll need a pretty strong team for this.

And here’s the card you can get from the rankings:

「春は、すぐそこ」/ “Haru wa, Sugusoko” (Spring is around the corner) – SSR+

Art by 秋吉 (Akiyoshi)

Skill: “Beating heart sakura”

New gacha for the event

The first three gacha all work in exactly the same way as the ones from the first part of the event so feel free to check out my previous article for more info (including to find out which cards are featured in said gacha).

– The fourth banner gives you a one-use-per-day free gacha! This gacha is one which gives each player the opportunity to do one “10 cards +1 extra” pull without paying anything! These free gacha have pretty good rates for SSRs and SSR+ cards, so don’t forget to try it out! Remember though: you can only play this gacha once per day, so make the most of this pull! This gacha will disappear after you use it, but will return at 12:00 AM JST each day.

Now for info about the new box gacha which was added!

Dark blue box gacha

Similar to the previous box gacha, on the screen shown above, you can view the first box from the box gacha. This is therefore box no. 1 out of 5, and each box has different items inside it. After box 1, you move onto box 2 which has a different featured item until you’ve got through all of them. So here’s what’s in each box:

Box 1’s main item is the “Japanese Style Sweets MEIKO Hairstyle” (x11)
Box 2’s main item is the “Japanese Style Sweets Miku Hairstyle” (x11)
Box 3’s main item is the “Sakura Kinchaku” (Cherry blossom drawstring purse) (x19)
Box 4’s main item is the “Japanese Style Sweets Outfit” (x11) which should be compatible with any of the boys you choose as your main character.

Box 5 contains a variety of building materials, Mikucoin shards (which are used to make Mikucoins), GP and “Eeru” points (which you can use for the “eeru” gacha at the very bottom of the gacha page, not shown in this article).

Sakura Kinchaku (right hand item) – ranks up to level 5

New backgrounds for your main page!

And to top it all off, if you click on the “Home” button in the bottom left corner of the main screen, you’ll find cool backgrounds you can use!

(To find the backgrounds, click on button indicated. On this page, you can also change which Cryptonloid character you play the game with!)

(Scroll to the bottom of the list, and you’ll find the “Cherry blossom painted road” background! Click on the red button to the right of the image to select it as your new background!)

Here’s my cherry blossom Rin! (Oh. by the way, backgrounds will change depending on the time of day in Japan. It was nighttime when I took this screenshot, so this was the result! Make sure to check the game every now and then to see how the backgrounds change!)

If you want to take a screenshot of your main screen like this, click on the camera icon on the main page:

This background will be available **until the 25th May 2020**, so please make good use of it!

That’s all the info I have for now! Please make sure to keep supporting Mikucolle until its final closure date, especially since the game development team have always done such an amazing job with it! This part of the event will be from 08/05/2020 until 18/05/2020, so make sure to enjoy it as much as possible!

Thanks for reading!
