Base on those screenshots from that blog, it seems that each episode will focus on the idols that are feature in the game. Looks like the loli episode is going to be magical.
Regarding those Cafe merchandise, you can at least buy the folding fans at AmiAmi which are still available: |

...and "Chihaya is an absolute angel"? We already knew that. ...*sigh* why did they have to group Yayoi with Ritsuko and the Producer in the Namasukka Special 03 CD? I'm not a huge Ritsuko fan and I could care less about the Producer. Seriously, if they were gonna throw him into the mix they may as well have done a CD with Kotori, Producer, and President Takagi. That would've been an interesting mix. ...and if I offended any Ritsuko fans, I offer these pics as an apology. Spoiler for pics:

Aside from that, it was just an example. I just think it all depends on coordinating stages with outfits and idols, which is actually part of the game anyways. You can make pretty much anything work with some clever configuration. Quote:
"I'm so Free!" is a club-style song with an intriguing tune to it. It's on the "PERFECT IDOL 01" set. "Looking For Love" is an upbeat rock song on the "Vocal Collection 02" album. To my recollection it features both Haruka and Hibiki. "HEART and SOUL" is actually part of the "iDOLM@STER STATION" album, which features the seiyuu for Hibiki, Takane and Yukiho, I believe. This album isn't technically tied into the iDOLM@STER universe in any way, but it brandishes the iM@S title, so it's certainly intended to be a part of it overall.

Looking for Love is Haruka and Miki, actually. I really like it because it's one of the rare songs where Haruka gets serious in her singing. The solo version is good too. HEART AND SOUL is part of the radio album Nouvelle Vague. I know it's not really well known, though. The covers on the radio albums aren't good, but the original songs are great.

Just picked up HEART and SOUL to give it a listen and it is indeed a very interesting track but I can't say it's one my favourites. It sounds like a song I might grow to enjoy even though it didn't strike mas as fantastic right up front. Thanks for the hint
Also: I had completely forgot that there were iDOLM@STER covers of Tip Taps Tip. Miki's version is so damned cute! Haruka's version is very nice as well and I think I finally found a track by Hibiki alone that I actually enjoy for a change. The iDOLM@STER gigantic collection of songs is indeed pretty overwhelming at first but there's something for everyone in there. A few of my pet favourites are Chihaya's Arcadia (the Bossa Nova mix in particular), KisS by Project Fairy, My Song played by Chihaya, Iori and Asuza, Sora by Kotori and obviously Aoi Tori by Chihaya. Hell, there's actually plenty of other tracks I enjoy like Yukiho's rendition of Kosmos, Kosmos and Precog by Eri from 876 Pro but if I carried on listing them we would never get out of here. PS: also, make sure to listen to Iori's rendition of Ren'ai Circulation. It's incredibly close to reaching the lethal levels of Moe of the original.

Speaking of HanaKana, I personally find Iori's version far from the original- it doesn't come close. Not saying it's bad (because Kugimiya's voice is always amazing), but that song was meant for HanaKana, in my opinion. Quote:
And since you people are so fast, here's a small list of iDOLM@STER cover songs that are fantastic: - Namida no Hurricane (by Miki), originally by Naja [Get Backers ED2] - Seikan Hikou (by Makoto), originally by Nakajima Megumi [Macross Frontier Insert Song] - Hoshi no Kakera wo Sagashi ni Ikou Again (by Chihaya, Makoto or Takane), originally by fukumimi - Cutey Honey (by Takane), originally by Yoko Maekawa [Cutie Honey OP] - Moonlight Densetsu (by Haruka), originally by DALI [Sailor Moon OP] - Kanashimi yo Konnichiwa (by Haruka), originally by Saitou Yuki [Maison Ikkoku OP] - Tori no Uta (by Chihaya), originally by Lia [AIR TV OP] - Egao no Genki (by Ami/Mami), originally by Kawakami Motoko [Hime-chan no Ribbon OP] - Sekai de Ichiban Ganbatteru Kimi ni (by Haruka), originally by HARCO - Tsuki no Waltz (by Takane), originally by Isayama Mio - Yume no Naka e (by Mami), originally by Enomoto Atsuko/Suzuki Chihiro [Karekano ED] - Valentine Kiss (by Iori), originally by Sayuri Kokusho [Covered also in Prince of Tennis] - Omoide ga Ippai (by Ami), originally by CoCo [Ranma 1/2 OP3] - Sorairo Days (by Ritsuko), originally by Nakagawa Shouko [Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann OP] And naturally, there's more. Gotta find 'em all!

I already have over 17 GB of selected iDOLM@STER albums and that's just a fraction of the entire collection. I haven't even finish listening to all the ones I got. Getting more just makes it more unbearable.
There are a lot of songs I do like a lot, but too many to list. |

Yes they are in lossless format. Still it's a lot. Right now I picked some ones that I haven't listen and they don't disappoint. It's fun discovering new hits. I'm surprise Hibiki has some great ones from the Master Artist 2: Season 1.
The iDOLM@STER collection I have already topple my K-ON collection and it probably double it already. |

Check out the song "Haru" on the MASTER SPECIAL SPRING album; it's by Hibiki and is just lovely. The title truly fits the tune in this case. Quote:
EDIT: HOLY SHET Spoiler for Open me. FOR THE LOVE OF MOE, OPEN ME:
