Uma Musume Pretty Derby Reveals New Ramen-Themed Fine Motion, Sending Fans into a Frenzy

On July 10, the popular mobile game Uma Musume Pretty Derby introduced a highly anticipated new character variant to its gacha pool: a 3-star Fine Motion donning a brand-new outfit. The announcement has sparked massive excitement across social media platforms, especially among fans who have long adored her character quirks.

A Ramen-Themed Dream Come True

Fine Motion's new outfit is inspired by "Treacen-ken," the recurring in-game ramen shop. In the game's lore, Fine Motion is royalty (often addressed as "Her Highness" or "Denka") but harbors an intense, adorable obsession with ramen. This new design is a dream come true for fans of the character.

The preview for her unique skill animation shows Fine Motion looking blissfully happy in front of a steaming bowl of ramen. Social media has been flooded with comments like, "I've never seen her look so happy!" and "The way she holds that bowl of ramen with such love is just precious." Additionally, the skill includes a clever gimmick that mimics ordering a "kaedama" (a second helping of noodles), which has quickly become a hot topic among players.

Strong Mid-Distance and Leader Capabilities with a "Refill" Twist

From a gameplay perspective, trainers are already dissecting her potential. This new version of Fine Motion is tailored for Mid-Distance and Leader strategies. Rumors and early analyses suggest that her evolution skills might allow her unique skill to trigger multiple times—aptly matching the "kaedama" (noodle refill) theme.

Trainers have expressed high expectations, with comments such as, "She looks incredibly strong for general mid-distance use," "Is her unique skill a two-stage motion?" and "I can't wait to see if she can break into the current meta depending on how her running style and distance compatibilities align."

Voice Actress Chinami Hashimoto Celebrates the Release

Chinami Hashimoto, the voice actress behind Fine Motion, took to her social media to share her excitement: "Please welcome the 3-star Fine Motion! An outfit themed around her beloved ramen... she must be so incredibly happy!" Fans responded with warm congratulations and declarations of their determination to pull her from the gacha.

The update also brings new Support Cards to the gacha, including SSR Nice Nature and SR Kalstone Light O, making this summer update a thrilling event for players.

The Context

Uma Musume Pretty Derby, developed by Cygames, is a massive multimedia franchise in Japan that personifies real-life Japanese racehorses as "horse girls" (Uma Musume). Players act as trainers to help these girls win races and perform in idol-like live concerts. Fine Motion is based on the real-life Irish-bred Irish Thoroughbred racehorse who had a highly successful career in Japan.

The character's obsession with ramen in the game is a beloved running gag, contrasting her high-society royal background with her love for humble, everyday Japanese comfort food. This new release perfectly blends her lore with in-game mechanics, showcasing how Cygames creatively integrates character personality into gameplay features.

Tragedy on Miyajima: 1,200-Year-Old 'Eternal Flame' Hall at Mt. Misen Destroyed by Fire

On the morning of May 20, 2026, a fire broke out near the summit of Mt. Misen on Miyajima Island in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture—a site recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage island. The blaze completely destroyed the "Reikado Hall" of Daishoin Temple, which enshrines the "Eternal Flame" (Kiezu-no-hi), a sacred fire associated with the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi (Kukai). Despite a large-scale emergency response involving eight fire engines and helicopters, which succeeded in bringing the fire under control by 10:35 AM that day, the loss of the historic building has left the public in shock. Reikado Hall is a vital cultural structure that serves as the repository for the "Eternal Flame," which is said to have burned continuously for approximately 1,200 years since Kukai first lit it during his ascetic training. This fire is also significant for being one of the source flames for the "Flame of Peace" in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, holdin...
