    Publish the Japanese original music! ("Endless Starlight" Star Guardian Theme) – By Riot Chocky (Riot Japan)

    The new Star Guardian skin finally implemented! Four friends have joined the previously particularly popular "Star Guardian Lux", throwing a new sparkle of stardust onto Summoner's Rift!

    I was surprised at the response when I announced that I would release this Star Guardian Skin. I think I was reminded of the extraordinary popularity of the existence of a magical girl.

    Currently, "Magical Girl", which is loved all over the world, was born in Japan and is one of the established genres, so I strongly felt that "this must be something unique to Japan!" is.

    Inspired by the Star Guardian's worldview, I've created songs that resemble the opening theme of anime. Kanae Asaba, who works as a singer / songwriter in Tokyo, sang. "Endless Starlight" with the fast-paced beats that fill the night sky, the glowing melody that even dazzles, the lyrics that are close to the fate of the Star Guardians, and Miss Asaba's power and transparent singing voice. "The glitter of life" was brought to life.

    Anime fans in various countries now use the words mahou shoujo and majokko with almost the same meaning as Japanese. We are very impressed and excited that the "magical girls" born from this country traveled around the world, met LoL, and returned to Japan in such a wonderful way.

    We hope that Japanese LoL players will become more familiar with and enjoy the world of Star Guardians through this unique initiative of the Japanese server (which can only be done in Japan!).

    In addition, have you noticed? The artwork at the top of this article was created in collaboration with community artist Sunupones. Of course, you can download it from here and use it as wallpaper.

    From now on, I hope that everyone will play an active part in the Summoners Lift with new Star Guardians with "Endless Starlight ~ Kirameki of Life ~" as BGM.

    May you also have the guidance of the First Star...!

    It's like a team of misfits, with Lux being the only sane one around, and not Janna since she seems deader than anyone else in the team.

    That's definitely not a bad of description! (Grins) Only thing that might be missing is ragtag team of misfits...

    I like the dynamic.

    Jinx is the tsundere who fights with Everyone every chance she can, breaks from the team when she gets mad but is always there to bail them out of bad jams due to being the heavy guns.

    Lulu is the hyperactive newbie who makes mistakes but tries her hardest and is an endearing element who keeps the team together.

    Poppy is the stalwart center of the team to mediates between everyone, tries to keep fights to a minimum and is always ready to defend her friends.

    Janna is the experienced veteran, who has the mindset to be a proper guardian but the years of constant war and losing loved ones in the endless battle against evil has killed her emotionally. Though she finds it within herself to still care for her team and mentor them as best she can.

    And Lux, the inexperienced leader of the team, who stumbles but never falters in the face of adversity.

    It's a text book team up of magical girls. but it's still a wonderfully well researched textbook team.

    I like this, her looks fits the bill.

    Also Poppy looks like a certain girl from the VN called KaraKara

    Well said! I also have to say Riot looks like they really did their work on who might fit each trope the best out of their cast of champions (although I don't know if they thought of going this far when Star Guardian Lux was released last year.)
