Takara Tomy Arts is gearing up for an exciting launch in the gaming world with the debut of its amusement game 'Himitsu no Aipri Ring 1-dan', set to coincide with the second season of the beloved anime 'Himitsu no Aipri'. On April 3, 2025, fans can experience both 'Himitsu no Aipri' and 'Aipri Verse', expanding their interactive entertainment options, as they collect character cards and engage in live anime-linked experiences.

The new 'Ring 1-dan' will feature a collaboration Aipri card highlighted by the anime's new ending theme, 'Himitsu no Fufufu', performed by 'Cho Tokimeki♡ Sendenbu'. This exciting collaboration introduces a gameplay mode that includes the new Bazirhythm Change component known as 'Jewel Bazirhythm Change'.

"We are excited to bring fans the experience of engaging with our anime in a playful way through games and live interactions," said a Takara Tomy Arts spokesperson. This reflects the company’s vision of merging the worlds of gaming and anime to foster a deeper connection with fans.

In 'Himitsu no Aipri', players collect character cards and partake in rhythm-based live gaming experiences, all while integrating the visual aesthetics of the anime. The large horizontal monitors in the gaming venues present live performances that mimic those seen in the anime, letting players dance alongside their favorite characters.

'Ring 1-dan' will offer unique collaborative cards that allow players to join characters like Himari and Mitsuki in performing the catchy new ending theme. In tandem, fans will also get to enjoy costumes designed specifically for the collaboration, bringing an interactive fashion element into the play experience.

As part of the event surrounding the launch, Takara Tomy Arts has planned a dance project called 'Minna de Odorou! Aipri to Fufufu na Dance!'.

Additionally, a video featuring 'Cho Tokimeki♡ Sendenbu' members performing the dance will be made available on the anime's official website.

Accompanying these gaming experiences is the much-anticipated CD 'Fufufu Disc', which will drop on April 30, 2025. This double A-side single includes both 'Himitsu no Fufufu' and 'Sekai de Ichiban Idol'.
