HE★VENS (HEAVENS) is a group from the Raging Entertainment, the most prominent entertainment agency in Japan. In their original three-person incarnation, they were nominated to compete against ST☆RISH for the Uta☆Pri Award (うた☆プリアワード). They were introduced through a cameo appearance during the second season's 9th episode, and finally debuted during the next episode. On the final episode of the third season, 4 more members were introduced, becoming a seven-person group. During the fourth season, each member of HE★VENS paired up with a member of ST☆RISH for a duet song. They performed a new song, 不滅のインフェルノ, for the final of the Triple S Competition, and then went on to perform with both ST☆RISH and QUARTET NIGHT for a special live.
Members
- Otori Eiichi (鳳 瑛一) - He is the leader of HE★VENS and thinks highly of his group, being very confident that they would win the Uta☆Pri Award[1]. Like Ren, he is good with the ladies. Eiichi is the brother of Otori Eiji and the son of Raging Otori , the president of HE★VENS' agency: "Raging Entertainment". He likes seeing the troubled faces of his opponents, and he aimed to not only claim victory, but Nanami Haruka as HE★VENS' composer as well. He is voiced by Midorikawa Hikaru.
- Sumeragi Kira (皇 綺羅) - Although a man of few words, his great popularity is linked to his good looks and charisma. He is from the Sumeragi family, a family with an honored history[2] which has ties to Masato's. A stoic man, he speaks in careful phrasing and rarely expounds on his thoughts. Kira is also more mannerly than his fellow members. When HE★VENS reintroduced themselves as a 7-member group, he only said his name, and, after a moment's pause, "I missed you." He is voiced by Ono Daisuke.
- Mikado Nagi (帝 ナギ) - HE★VENS' 13-year-old, "cosmically cute idol"; he's the cheerful, upbeat group member. According to the official site information, he is also an intellectual person[3]. He is also very sure about winning the Uta☆Pri Award and is excited about the competition. Nagi can be very rude, pretentious, and shows little respect to others. He also claimed that ST☆RISH is not experienced enough to match up to HE★VENS, and was the only one not affected by the Happy Pulse. Admiringly dubbed as "Cutie Nagi" by fans. He is voiced by Yonaga Tsubasa.
- Otori Eiji (鳳 瑛二) - One of the newer member presented at the Triple S, he is a shy and polite person who loves music and admires his older brother. Eiji is the younger brother of Otori Eiichi and son of Raging Otori. He is voiced by Uchida Yuma.
- Kiryuin Van (桐生院ヴァン) - One of the newer members presented at the Triple S. Brash and forward, he appeared saying they would conquer the world but then claimed he was just kidding. He is voiced by Takahashi Hidenori.
- Hyuga Yamato (日向大和) - Another new member, he is strong and boastful, cleaming to be the strongest of HE★VENS and challenging to contradict him. He is the younger brother of Hyuga Ryuya, whom he greatly resented. He is the only member of HE★VENS who has previously been mentioned; he was referred to in Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Debut by Ryuya, who said that whenever they saw each other, they would end up arguing. He is voiced by Kimura Ryōhei.
- Amakusa Shion (天草シオン) - The last new member presented at the Triple S. He believed in the plan of the stars and asked the audience to say his name. A spiritual person, he only wishes to sing for HE★VENS. He is voiced by Yamashita Daiki.

Trivia
- It is currently unknown if this particular group will be present in any upcoming games in the Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ series.
- Although it should be noted that they have concept arts that match the art style found in the games, and they are featured in the official site of the Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ series, not just the TV anime site.
- Each character in the new HE★VENS is a counterpart of a member of ST☆RISH, as seen in episode 13 of season 3, with some seeming to share personality traits:
- Eiji - Tokiya
- Kira - Masato
- Nagi - Natsuki
- Eiichi - Otoya
- Van - Ren
- Yamato - Syo
- Shion - Cecil
- According to ST☆RISH, they vanished after losing the Uta Pri Award and were not seen for most of Season 3. In episode 13 of S3 they came back to compete in the Triple S opening; the group's ranks had been filled out, and they were now a seven member group instead of three.
- Just like with ST☆RISH, the letters of HE★VENS represent the first letter of the names of the group members. The order of the letters also coincides with each rival. This is especially noticeable when singing their song HE★VENS GATE, where everyone says their characteristic letter in order.
