The Uta no Prince-sama franchise opened a 15th anniversary site on July 31, 2026, and the celebration has since run through goods, games, and live events. The slate includes free limited-time streaming of all four TV series on YouTube, encore screenings of three theatrical films, a ST☆RISH cast live in January 2027, a new single PRISM FOREVER! on October 21, and a pop-up store. Broccoli has spread anniversary content across the year rather than concentrating it in one event.
On the game side, Broccoli and KLab announced on June 24 that the Nintendo Switch title Uta no Prince-sama Dolce Vita, first announced in 2016, will launch in 2027. The game was originally planned for PlayStation Vita before being moved to Switch in 2019. The Switch port of Shining Live, a smartphone rhythm game that ended service in 2023, releases December 17, 2026, with Animate-exclusive bundles. A flagship store, UTA☆PRI GRAND SHOP, opened from July 18 at five locations with yukata and obi goods designed with Keita Maruyama.
Live performance remains a fixture. QUARTET NIGHT's four voice actors (Shouta Aoi, Shoutarou Morikubo, Tatsuya Suzuki, and Tomoaki Maeno) posted a photo together on September 4 in costumes from the June 2026 QUARTET NIGHT LIVE ENDLESS JEWELS. The fourth ALL STAR STAGE, subtitled -BEGINNING-, brings ST☆RISH, QUARTET NIGHT, and HE★VENS together for 18 members at Makuhari Messe from March 18 to March 22, 2027. New songs for each group are set for a CD in early 2027, and the cast will not appear on stage. Ticket access is tied to serial codes in the -Happy Celebration- Blu-ray and DVD.
