Resounding Twilight Parade
And now we come to our newest game event, “響くトワイライトパレード / Resounding Twilight Parade!”
Shiho is still troubled by the invitation she got from Iori to join her band which will be going pro soon. Though Shiho constantly refuses, Iori is dead set on getting her to join, and even gives her tickets to see their next performance.
But then Shiho gets invited by Saki to hang out with Leo/need and Wonderlands×Showtime for a day for of fun, nostalgia, and bonding at Phoenix Wonderland, which Shiho decides to do instead! Does she make the right decision? Find out in “Resounding Twilight Parade!”
Event dates: February 9 at 3:00 PM (JST) ~ February 16 at 8:59 PM (JST)
Bonus Type: Cute
Play lives with characters of this type for a +20% bonus in Event Points and Event Badges!
Bonus Members:
- Hinomori Shiho
- Kagamine Rin (Wonderlands×Showtime ver.)
- Mochizuki Honami
- Tenma Tsukasa
- Kamishiro Rui
Play lives with these characters for a +20% bonus in Event Points and Event Badges!
A bonus character who also has the bonus type will grant a +50% bonus in Event Points and Event Badges when you play with them in your main unit!
And yes, you’re seeing that correctly. A Wonderlands×Showtime version of Rin makes her story debut in this event! We’ve seen her perform and interact with the unit members before in past Virtual Lives, but never in an event story or area conversation until now!
Like Wonderlands×Showtime Miku, this Rin is super cheery and refers to herself in the third person (saying “Rin” instead of using first person pronouns). And in stark contrast to their Vivid BAD SQUAD versions, Wonderlands×Showtime Rin and Len seem to get along very well and want to do shows together!
For anyone wondering where’s she’s been all this time, MEIKO actually asks this very question, and Rin says that she’s been doing shows elsewhere and making people smile. That probably still leaves many people curious, but at least the Wonderland Sekai has gained another new family member who’s here to stay!

Sweets Paradise Collaboration Café Conclusion
This week also saw the conclusion of the Project SEKAI collaboration cafes in Tokyo and Nagoya. You can read about the café, its menu, its available merchandise and more here!
And if you’d like to get a glimpse of our firsthand experience at the café, make sure to also check out our Twitter Moments here!
For those who could not attend the cafe event, but would still like to own some of the merchandise that was made available there, you’re in luck! SPINNS is taking orders for online purchases of the merchandise from now until April 18, 2021!
See here for their hub page of Project SEKAI goods! Do note, however, that the bonus items from the café – paper coasters with drink orders, stickers with food/dessert orders, and postcards for every ￥2,000 JPY spent – do not seem to be on offer from SPINNS.
Thus concludes another week of updates in Project SEKAI as another new event begins! We wish everyone playing the best of luck in the event, and look forward to more updates and content additions!
