Otome franchises were also busy updating their official sites for April Fools' Day yesterday in Japan. Uta No Prince Sama is known to post elaborate jokes that turned out to be true in the past and this year's joke is already making fans speculate for possible promotional developments in the near future. Some Amnesia characters are modeling new outfits, while vampire brothers from Diabolik Lovers are changing their occupation at Otomate Department store. New anime based on Otome game Kamigami No Asobi also posted 2 different jokes.
Update: Links to the event pages do not work any more since it's already April 2nd in Japan.
Uta No Prince Sama
Idols from STA☆RISH and Quartet☆Night are turned into deformed gods and heroes on bonus stickers enclosed in a make-believe Japanese snack, Odorokiman, which is a parody of Japanese snack Bikkuriman that comes with a collectible sticker sheet with a deformed character.
Quartet☆Night Senpai idols have the status of gods. From left, Kotobuking (Reiji Kotobuki), Kurosaki Rockman (Ranmaru Kurosaki), Ai No Mikaze Tenshi (Ai Mikaze) and Koori No Saint Camus (Camus).
STA☆RISH stickers from left, Happy Soleil (Otoya Ittoki), Wisdom Mercury (Masato Hijirikawa), Cure Jupiter (Natsuki Shinomiya) and Absolute Luna (Tokiya Ichinose).
From left, Sexy Venus (Ren Jinguji), Brave Earth (Sho Kurusu) and Excellent Uranus (Celil Aijima). Whether this parody will come true or not is yet to be determined.
Diabolik Lovers
Blood-sucking brothers and other characters from the recent Diabolik Lovers franchise appear as doctors at Sadistic Blood Donation Room at Otomate Department Store Ikebukuro as a joke at Japanese Otome game publisher Otomate's April Fools' Day special site.
The anime's official twitter account posted a Petit Lover poster which shows the relaxed daily lives of deformed Sakamaki brothers as a joke while promoting the re-broadcast of the anime on Japanese TV stations.
Another post by the official Twitter that fans wish would come true. Anime character designer, Yuko Yahiro tweeted that these illustrations are done exclusively for this joke post.
Amnesia
Ukyo from Amnesia is modeling a coordinated outfit offered at previously mentioned Otomate Department Store Ikebukuro, above.
Kent is modeling another suggestion. Oh my. According to the conversation between Ikki and Orion on this event page, Ikki bought this entire set and charged it to his credit card to Orion's disbelief.
Kamigami No Asobi
The Kamigami No Asobi anime's official site welcomes visitors with a one-day-only butler cafe, Cafe Kamigami No Sono, with an illustration of deformed characters in suits.
In the meantime, the game's official site announced that the next title will be an RPG.
