Yeppers! Bring it on!

Err ... not that I can actually play them, but I appreciate the youtube footage.

[Wild Goose]

I'm L@DY for iM@s Shiny Festa iOS, though I'll only get the Honey Sound port since I can't afford all three games - and also because I like the Honey Sound girls best. Though that's not a priority - my money's aimed at Battlefield 4.

[MeisterBabylon]

Man... I almost thought Asami Imai was the voice behind Kei in MJP, especially after episode 12's hijinxes...

...but it was not to be.

(But well, a Pikasa in a mecha anime is fine too. )

No, you're right, they're continuing the DLC sales. At this rate they'll probably keep doing it til they put up all the DLC catalogs on sale, so yeah.

Depends.

Will Ritsuko, Iori, Ami, and Azusa remain unplayable as Ryuguu Komachi? Will they add the new 765pro idols introduced in MILLION LIVE? Did they change the game system so that in the training mini-games when you reach the "PERFECT+BONUS" that it'll finish automatically so that you won't have to sit there and wait for time to run out? Will they improve the character models so that some of the accessories doesn't seem like they're floating in mid-air (withe exceptions with the ones that actually are) Will 876pro make an appearance? Will any of the idols from Cinderella Girls make a guest appearance? Is Jupiter going to show they're faces again? What dirty tricks will 961pro play this time around? Will they make a costume function/DLC that'll allow players to modify the colors themselves? Will there be options for the alternate hair styles?

AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH~!!!!!!!! So many things are going through my mind, maybe I'm not L@DY yet. orz

...moving on. Beginning 7/7 they'll be starting pre-orders on the 8th Anniversary goods on lalabit market.

More on upcoming iM@S goods. They're releasing the second volumes of the iM@S:CG anthology mangas. Each one will come with an original Drama CD. They'll be releasing one a month starting late August.

August - Cool
September - Cute
October - Passion

Pull it together man! One is always ready for more 795pro goodness.

The one about the Haruka-san temple and all that? Yeah, pretty cute but what I would really love is a new iM@S proper season.

Yep. It's consistent with the rest of puchim@s - kawai, but kinda an "in-crowd" release. If you like im@s you will prolly find the short ani's worthwhile, if not ... well, unless chiibi ani is your thing, perhaps?

I enjoyed puchim@s, tho, so... ^^

As for new seasons ... I would love it too, of course. I would especially love to see more chara development and introspection, etc. But I am not convinced it will happen. Ah well - if it does I will happily be proven wrong.

[shinku no kage]

More Puchim@s! = More blood loss

I nearly died from the Yayo + Chibiki hair tangle episode, if they did more I'd...
But honestly I don't really see it happening either...well, maybe more OVAs with future volumes of the manga. Hopefully that may increase the likelihood of them releasing Puchim@s! plushies.

...yes, I'm gonna keep wishing for them. SERIOUSLY, LIFE SIZED PUCHiDOL PLUSHIES, NOW!!!! I'm willing to pay the outrageous(?) price that they'll most likely print on the price tags. Guessing from similar products I'd say it'd be in the 5,000~10,000yen range.

Talking about goods, they're releasing figma figures of the Jougasaki sisters at the next Wonder Festival following the release of Anzu and Rin.

Jougasaki Rika
Jougasaki Mika

Glad to see the Cinderella Girl characters getting released...so when the hell are they going to release Yayoi, Hibiki, and/or Chihaya? Lets not forget the rest of the 765 pro girls either...would I be pushing my luck for the 876pro girls? *note I said GIRLS, I don't really care if they release Ryo or not.

Lets see, what else it going on this week?

Oh, happy birthday Ai!! Oh, and a belated b-day for Ritsuko too.

[jdennis007]

So any news about the full songs from Shiny Festa being released yet?

[SuzushinaYuriko]

That's something I'd like to know as well. According to someone else, the first album was supposed to be released in June. I haven't seen anyone mention it yet.

[Miraluka]

Fatalpulse creeps me out...

[shinku no kage]

Well back in April they announced that they were releasing "THE iDOLM@STER HISTORY" but there hasn't been any updates on it since. I checked Columbia record's iM@S page but the post doesn't even exist anymore...dunno if the post was too old to be kept in the log or if they canceled the release.

As of right now the Shiny Festa songs can only be heard in the "MUSIC FESTIV@L OF WINTER!!" DVD/BD.

Seems like they're pouring their time, effort, and resources into the Cinderella Girls and Million Live series...orz

...and I've got nothing else right now. I'll end my turn by playing these two cards:

.

Gotta love summer.

[Dextro]

I'll send you my doctors bill from the transfusion later

[blakstealth]

those cards have been banned in official tournaments for a reason! ah, my heart

[Nerroth]

Congratulations are in order!

[MrTerrorist]

Congratulations on the baby Makoto and Hokuto Hiromi.

In other news, Shiny Festa on the iOS is now half price until July 10th!

[Wild Goose]

Wait didn't she give birth already? Or did she just announce she was expecting.

And, well, look at it this way; if the little tyke absorbs Makoto's manly aura, then won't Makoto achieve her goal of becoming a real girl?

...

*looks up and rereads what he just typed*

...on second thoughts, I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing.

Also lol Shiny Festa; the Shiny Festa rendition of Jitensha suggests that while it's Makoto who's singing about being unable to confess, it's [I]Yukiho[I] who can't confess to Makoto-kun, and Takane and Miki are observing them from afar.

[Wild Goose]

Watching the 7th Anniversary Live. Awesome. So much win.

Whatever is lost from the transition from anime/game is made up by the presence of a live performance. For instance Kazahana is an awesome song by Takane, but I could never really get into it. Then I see the 7th Anniversary version. OMG. OMG. OMG.

Also, Mingosu's performance of Yakusoku. It's not quite as good as the CD version, nor does it have the power of the TV version when Haruka regained her voice. It's forgivable, however, when you see how EVERYONE WAS CRYING. EVEN HER.

EVERY SINGLE CYALUME IS BLUE. TONIGHT, WE ARE ALL CHIHAYA FANS.
