A little delayed in posting this but... Happy April Fools' Day! With all that's going on the world, it's probably better to indulge in something that'll bring us joy, no? Below are the wonderful artwork and/or events from this year.
Will add more if I find any. As always, click to enlarge images.
Broccoli
Kamiaso
Kamiaso has updated their website to announce the crossover everyone has been waiting for: Taiko no Tatsujin x Kamiaso! Available now on April 1st, year... 20020! Too bad it's not real because it probably would've been a cute game lol.
Uta no Prince-Sama

『#うたプリ』アイドルがプロデュースしたフレグランスが登場🌹
セクシーすぎるビジュアルも公開！？👀https://t.co/D8u4jLzBUE#utpr pic.twitter.com/S4DwaUXNTC
Introducing the new GLORIAROMA fragrance lines, featuring risqué UtaPri boys! A lot of work was put into making unique sets, and knowing Broccoli they'll probably turn it into an actual item someday 😂
Cheritz
So no April Fools' post from Cheritz actually, but they did tweet a message about staying safe. It's also Zen's birthday, so check your app for a special illustration of him! Due to server error, Cheritz is also giving 40 free hourglasses if you log in between April 4-6th. I believe this stacks on top of the hourglasses you already receive for his birthday.
Cybird - Ikemen Series
A few days ago, a notice arrived in game saying that users should log in during April Fools' for an exclusive card and to "look forward to this unbearably adorable card ★" So the theme for them was obviously... bears!

Other parts of the world had different events as well, such as avatar face masks and release of a Mousette "route." The Japanese version of Ikemen Sengoku had an RPG-styled event instead.
Continuing with their bear theme, Cybird also announced their giveaway for 5 bearaces. Retweet by April 8th 9pm PST and have your DMs open for a chance to win!

Nitro+Chiral
So Nitro+Chiral posted on the 31st that they actually weren't going to do a special illustration for April Fools', but I wanted to include it here anyway since they're normally one of my go to.
The reason they're not doing April Fools' is so that they can focus on Slow Damage! The game has been in the works for a while, so I hope we'll hear more news about it soon. ^^
Otomate
Otomate of course never holds back on holiday posts and they released a huge project called 【LOVE- FIRE!!】 To those who are not able to view right away, it'll remain open until Sunday.
It's kinda funny that Otomate put a notice at the bottom of the page saying the pages include a lot of (false) information because yeah... it's a lot. 😂 LOVE-FIRE is a ceremony open only every 100 years (lol), so there's fake schedules, planning, the whole shebang. It's really impressive lol. And of course because it's Otomate, a TON of characters are featured. And they're all performers!
Characters included in some way are those from Variable Barricade, Glass Heart Princess, Cafe Enchante, Collar x Malice, Clock Zero, Yunohana Spring, Piofiore, Trigger Kiss, Wand of Fortune, Beastmaster and Prince, Amnesia, Shinobi Koi Utsutsu, Bara ni Kakusareshi Verite (and possibly some others I may have missed).
Too lazy to write out everyone's names lol, but main and sub performers are from games Hakuouki, Collar x Malice, Piofiore, Variable Barricade, Clock Zero, Cafe Enchante, and Code:Realize.
Poke around on the "performance" tab and you'll find a bunch of cute little dialogue www (*´∀`*)
If you check out the Code:Realize page under highlights, you get to hear Lupin and Van Helsing "performing" snippets of their character songs.
There's even a section for food Otomate will be "serving" at the event (the type of special themed food you normally see in collab cafes). Everything looks so good. 🤤 Some of the goods they're "selling" are hilarious, like a chewing ASMR CD of Sisi the dog LOL. I don't remember if Otomate usually gets rid of their April Fools' stuff, but there's also a page where you can download cute circle icons of the performing cast.
But honestly the best part about this April Fools event? All the lovely art!!! If you're going to ask Otomate to go big or go home, the answer will always be go big. So much art was created for this and it'd be a shame to not see it. To avoid cluttering this middle section too much, all LOVE FIRE images will be at the end. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Otomate also released some special Code:Realize cards on their app Sephirot. They're pretty cute! According to their Twitter post, there are also sets for Amnesia and Code:Realize, available until April 6th (JST). I tried Sephirot once and then never picked it up again, so I don't know how the other cards look unfortunately.

Rejet
When BossD suddenly appears in the peaceful Rejet Kingdom and captures characters, it's up to the "chameleon" KumaD to save the day by using various power ups and transforming into the abilities of the Rejet Friends rescued along the way!*
*Very much not a literal translation lmao let me have fun. #PowerOfFriendship
So basically Classic/X Megaman + Mario? Lol
Supposedly those who shop at Skit Dolce between April 1st-7th will receive a special KumaD postcard when they enter a secret password lmaooo
Rejet has also copiously tweeted about this. The image below is shamelessly taken from there haha.

They even later made a tweet apologizing for having to cancel the game despite the "large amount of pre-orders." 😂😂
Unfortunately I forgot to take screencaps of the site, but it was fun while it lasted.
Diabolik Lovers
本日より俺達兄弟が営むカフェ店、「無神ダイニング」が新規オープンすることとなった。自家製の野菜を使ったメニューが中心だ。無理にとは言わないが、一度訪れてみるといい。後悔はさせない。— 無神ルキ (@DialoverRukiM) April 1, 2020
詳細はここから。https://t.co/R7yYqYabU8#無神ダイニング#エイプリルフール
What would be a Rejet April Fools' event without including their most popular franchise as well? All the boys tweeted miscellaneous things. My favorites include:
- The grand opening of the family-run cafe called "Mukami Dining," announced by Ruki. The cafe will be using fresh vegetables, specifically Yuma's. #無神ダイニング
- Carla announces the opening of his mail order site for dry cured ham lmaoo
- Reiji announces that for one day only, you can participate in the Sakamaki Haunted House
- Kanato has a torture room. Because of course he would lmao
- Why is Laito just lurking in a bathroom lol
- Kino wondering what to do is forever a mood pfff
You can find all the tweet here: Ayato [1] [2] [3] | Laito | Kanato | Subaru | Reiji [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] | Shu | Ruki | Kou [1] [2] [3] | Yuma [1] [2] | Azusa [1] [2] | Carla [1] [2] | Shin [1] [2] [3] [4] | Kino [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Since there's a Gundam x Hello Kitty collaboration going on, Sanrio's April Fools' post was Hello Kitty dreaming about going to the movies and walking the red carpet with Gundam www

Taisho Alice had a series of cute comics and things on their twitter but they deleted before I had a chance to save them lol.. 😅
I was hoping Animal Crossing might have something special since New Horizons just launched, but I guess Easter Egg Hunting Hell is a prank enough lmaoo.
That's all for now. Remember to stay safe and spread positivity whenever you can during these difficult times. Until next time!
