The official accounts have made birthday posts for Riko!
Interestingly, the mainland China account used one of Riko's portraits from Global (you can see the two match above), rather than the portraits for her that are actually used in-game in the regions ahead of Global.
English:
"Oh, you remembered my birthday? How thoughtful. And what a perfect gift, just in time for summer. I'll be sure to put it to good use. Although, plum blossoms aren't a common pattern on fans, so it can't have been easy to find. Knowing you put so much effort into it makes this gift truly special. Thank you."
All Global players received a set of orange 5 of Coins (Worry) Revelation cards and a set of 3 of Coins (Labor) Revelation cards.
Chinese:
Dear Leader, June 6th marks Riko Tanemura's birthday. I wonder how she’ll be spending the day? Will she be too busy with UMETANE or school affairs to celebrate? Riko is always diligent and reliable—a personality that makes one naturally want to look out for her. We’ve prepared a special gift for you; why not take it along and surprise her?
All players in other regions received a Pearl Earrings, one Energy Drink, an Uji Matcha Pudding, a Sakura Fan, and a Elegant Wooden Comb.
