The game launched on June 24, 2021 as part of a media mix developed by CyberAgent, MusicRay'n, and Straight Edge, with players acting as a manager who assigns work to idols and builds trust with them between jobs. The announcement went out through the game's official X account, which apologized for the short notice. Livestreams and other events are planned before the shutdown, and an update converting the game to an offline version is scheduled to arrive alongside the end of service. The remaining schedule, refund procedures for the paid Blue Diamonds currency, and details of the offline version are listed in the in-game notice. An after story for the main story's Hoshizora Chapter was set to be added at 18:00 on the same day as the announcement.","whyItMatters":"The offline version means the game's story content is intended to remain playable after the March 2027 shutdown, a step not every ended mobile title takes.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe shutdown notice went out on the game\u0026#39;s official X account, posted as an \u0026#34;Important Notice from the Management Team\u0026#34; under the hashtag #Aipura.
