 * '''Q : Do Koikatsu cards work on Koikatsu Sunshine?'''<br>A : Koikatsu cards can be converted into Koikatsu Sunshine cards. When you place a Koikatsu card on "UserData\chara\female" it will be converted into a Sunshine card in the next time you open the game. '''WARNING''': The other way around does NOT work, that is, Sunshine cards does NOT work on the old Koikatsu game. Also cards with mods may have issues.
 * '''Q : Where can I get more girls cards?'''<br>A : If you play the unmodified (vanilla) Japanese game and you are in Japan you can go to the ingame network option. If you are playing a modified version (in other language than Japanese or with mods) or outside Japan you cannot use the network option, instead there are many sites that share cards such as:

 ** '''WARNING''': These sites have cards for lots of games, be sure to download for Koikatsu or Koikatsu Sunshine!
 * '''Q : Why I can't connect to the servers to check out/download characters through ingame menus?'''<br>A : The official server blocks non JP ips. There was a mirror server for westerners, but it's been down for months now, most likely forever.
