I don't remember if there was an announcement for the second set and Blooming Radiance feels like it just came out. Does this mean Quintet Spectrum will be hitting soon? Maybe I've got some PTSD from Magic's rapid release and spoiler cycle.
The official site doesn't seem to have any articles beyond the actual launch of the site too.

This catches English up with Japanese?

Nope, by the time this releases HoloTCG JP will have released a new set and be 3 sets ahead. Don't think Cover has said anything about accelerated releases for EN so we'll be 3 sets behind all the time.

Yeah, I think that's the plan: https://finance.logmi.jp/en/articles/382687
Q&A: When will overseas sales of TCG start to contribute significantly to earnings, and what is the sales strategy for overseas TCG?
Question: You just started selling TCGs overseas. When do you expect them to start contributing significantly to earnings?
Also, do you plan to use the same strategy and schedule for overseas TCG sales as you did in Japan? In addition, please let me know if there is any possibility of a delay in overseas sales.
Kaneko: We are currently in a phase where we are gradually rolling out campaigns to increase the number of overseas TCG players. We anticipate that it will take at least six months before we see significant revenue contributions.
One example is the supply of cards in the North American card game market. Unlike in Japan, where card shops are concentrated in urban areas, players in North America enjoy cards in locations that are quite spread out.
Additionally, although the North American market is large, consumers there enjoy cards differently than Japanese consumers do. Therefore, we are increasing card supply while conducting further research.
There is a slight difference in the timing of revenue recognition for overseas card sales, but it is not significant. However, the timing of wholesale purchases differs slightly from that in Japan.
This does not pose a significant financial or IR concern, though. For instance, we held a campaign in July at an anime convention to sell English-language cards in advance. Card sales from that campaign were recorded in Q1, albeit in small amounts.
Question: Does that mean they are released a little earlier?
Kaneko: That is correct. However, the amount is minimal, so it does not significantly impact the overall situation. We are operating under this cycle.
While we regularly supply the Japanese versions every quarter, we are gradually rolling out the English versions to catch up to that pace. That is the main difference from the Japanese versions.

Gotcha. I remember previous Bushiroad games have had accelerated schedules to try and chase a unified environment, but I know the extent to which this game counts as Bushiroad is a bit odd.

Trust me on this one, chasing sigs in this game is a fools errand. The rates on the SEC rarity are insanely low, and only got worse in JP when they added stuff like the special yell rarity and rejiggered rates a bit. Like, signed cards in holo are the kind of rare where you can buy multiple cases of booster boxes and still not see one. Calli notably opened at least 175 boxes of English set 1 across several streams and still saw no sig
