About the Pretty Rhythm Games

Game Updates and New Characters

Later, on October 14, 2010, a big update for Mini Skirt arrived. It even featured a special collaboration with the famous girl group AKB48! Some of their members, Miyu Takeuchi, Anna Mori, and Haruka Shimada, released a song called "Mini Skirt no Yōsei." For a short time, you could even play as them in the game using their nicknames!

The game changed its name during the season 4 update on April 28, 2011. It became Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream to match the new anime show. A new playable character, Aira Harune, joined the fun. Later, on December 15, 2011, Mion Takamine was added as a playable character too.
