Haikyu!! Fly High Marks Its First Year With Free SP and UR Rewards

Leave a comment

HAIKYU!! FLY HIGH, the volleyball RPG from KLab published by Singapore-headquartered Garena, is celebrating its first full year on the court. Starting 22 July 2026, players on iOS and Android globally — Singapore included — can log in daily for exclusive anniversary rewards, earn a free SP character through daily tasks, and hand-pick any UR-rarity player they want from the full roster, no luck involved.

What’s New in the 1st Anniversary Update

The celebration runs from 22 July to 19 August 2026 and drops two brand-new SP-rarity characters into the game alongside a new mini game and a new game mode. The headline events are:

  • Make UR Wish — Complete designated challenges to hand-pick any UR-rarity player from the full roster for free. This is the first time HAIKYU!! FLY HIGH has offered a full UR selector, making it one of the most valuable events the game has ever run.
  • Gym Cleanup — Complete daily tasks to progressively unlock SP Hitoshi Ginjima, the passionate wing spiker from Inarizaki High, entirely for free.
  • Daily Login Rewards (22 July – 5 August) — Log in every day to claim SP Recruit Tickets, UR Recruit Tickets, and UR Player Boost Cards to power up your roster.

Beyond the gameplay rewards, the update brings limited 1st Anniversary Portrait Frames and Chat Frames, plus two dual-character Backgrounds that are unlikely to appear again outside of this event: one featuring Shoyo Hinata and Tobio Kageyama, another with Tooru Oikawa and Hajime Iwaizumi. Cosmetics tied to anniversary milestones rarely return, so it is worth logging in even if you are a casual fan of the series.

A Great Time for Singapore Players to Start

HAIKYU!! FLY HIGH is free on the App Store and Google Play. Garena, headquartered here in Singapore, handles distribution across Southeast Asia, and the SEA servers receive anniversary content at the same time as global regions. If you have been meaning to try it, the 1st anniversary window is as good an entry point as the game has ever offered — the free UR pick from Make UR Wish gives brand-new coaches a strong starting lineup without spending anything, and SP Ginjima from Gym Cleanup is yours just for showing up daily.

GARRACK x Haikyu!! Smartwatches Expand to Rival Schools

Leave a comment

GARRACK is back with more Haikyu!! wristwear: the Japanese lifestyle brand has officially announced a second smartwatch collection — and this time the spotlight falls squarely on the series’ toughest rivals. Three new models will drop in late July, themed around Aoba Johsai, Shiratorizawa Academy, and Inarizaki High.

Three Schools, Three Distinct GARRACK Haikyu!! Watches

Each model is priced at ¥10,890 — matching the first collection — and built around its school’s identity: team-colour straps, an alternate black strap, and custom watch-face artwork that goes well beyond a simple logo placement. The Aoba Johsai model (HUC-HK-BD11-A) features Oikawa, Iwaizumi, and crew cycling across multiple dial animations; Shiratorizawa Academy’s watch (HUC-HK-BD11-S) leans into Ushijima and Tendo, with an eagle silhouette surfacing for incoming notifications; and the Inarizaki model (HUC-HK-BD11-I) gives the Miya twins and their teammates their moment, with fox iconography woven through the dial and calorie display.

All three arrive in special branded packaging. GARRACK’s first Haikyu!! collection (Karasuno and Nekoma, launched September 2025) proved popular enough to warrant this follow-up headlining the rival schools fans have been waiting for.

Dials That React to Every Step and Heartbeat

The fitness integration is where GARRACK keeps things interesting. Hit step-count milestones and the dial cycles through different character animations from your chosen school’s roster — the more you move, the more of the lineup you see. When your heart rate spikes, your school’s match banner surfaces on screen. It’s a small touch that keeps the Haikyu!! energy alive mid-workout in a way a static design never could.

On the hardware side these are fully capable smartwatches: the body weighs just 16g, a five-minute fast charge gives roughly two days of use, and a full charge lasts up to 14 days. Health tracking covers heart rate, blood oxygen, stress (via HRV), and sleep, alongside 100+ workout modes. iOS and Android are both supported, with music control, camera remote, alarm, stopwatch, and weather functions all included.

Pre-Orders Open 3 July — Units Ship 31 July

Pre-orders go live on the GARRACK official page at World Wide Watch (Japanese) from 3 July 2026, with general availability from 31 July 2026. Each watch is ¥10,890. No dedicated Singapore retail listing has been confirmed — GARRACK’s collaborations typically reach Singapore fans through direct Japan orders or international proxy and forwarding services.

Given how vocal Singapore’s Haikyu!! community has been about wanting the rival-school arc represented in merchandise, demand for these three models is likely to be brisk. If you’re going to pick one up, registering interest early via the official page before pre-orders formally open on 3 July is the safest move.
