- The chat room special effects function is turned off and needs to be turned on manually.
- The LINE version is too old. It is recommended to update to the latest version.
- The event has not been fully pushed to your device, this will usually happen after a while

Tip: Change to a dark or night scene background to instantly transform into a night cherry blossom atmosphere
Many people think that the night cherry blossom effect is automatically switched by the system, but it is not. The key to truly affecting the visual atmosphere is the “chat room background image”.
But as long as you change the background of the chat room to a dark color, or a night scene type picture, such as a pure black or dark gray background, a city night scene, or a dark color illustration, when the cherry blossom petals fall, the background will darken, making it look more like night cherry blossoms.
The overall picture will be more contrasty, the cherry blossoms will look more prominent, and the atmosphere will be stronger than a normal light-colored background. This method requires no additional features and can be achieved by simply adjusting the background.
Conclusion
The Sakura Rain chat room special effects launched by LINE this time allow more people to directly experience the festival atmosphere through a simpler trigger method. When you open the chat room, you can see cherry blossoms falling. Although it is only a small visual change, it does make daily chatting a little more fresh.
If you observe carefully, you can actually find picture changes in different situations, making the overall experience more layered. During the short few days of the event, you might as well chat with friends and feel this relaxing and healing atmosphere. If you feel it is not suitable, you can close it at any time and retain the original way of use.
