IDOLMASTER 2 Spoiler Thread!

[RoninatorMarx]

Nah. I think that's a misconception. I mean, if you got invited to an event and want to rub it in someone, you'd tell them "thanks", right? Then again, I didn't really see this video. D:

EDIT: Yeah! Yayoi's story, finally!

Stumbling around pixiv, I found the following Im@s fanart:

Could KirbySim or someone else with Japanese knowledge translate this? (I'm putting it in this thread only because it looks like it could contain some spoilers—otherwise, it looks like a dating sim spoof with Jupiter characters hitting on P and each other...)

Just finished Takane's true end
Kirby's summary really helped me out.

Glad to hear that Yayoi's story might get a summary as well!

[BT2]

Something like this I guess

Yayoi's good friends with Iori and Iori wants to help Yayoi with her crush on p from the shadows.
P sometimes gets invited to eat over at Yayoi's place and he gets along nicely with everyone, P tells Yayoi it's alright to depend on him and think of him as a brother.
You alo learn that both her parents work really log and are often home very late.
You beat RK and Iori's sincerely happy for Yayoi, but afterwards Yayoi's acting strangely and responds somewhat aggresively.
Iori is worried about her and wants to consult P and decided to meet up the next day.
The next day you'll meet a certain boy who's the same age as Yayoi and who's showing off his forehead and after a short char Iori appears.
Hijinks ensured as how Shouta doesn't think much of Iori and says it out loud.
The president of his company thinks that Iori of RK's his biggest threat but Shouta thinks it's Yayoi.
Shouta leaves an angry Iori behind after he says that he might've said too much, seeing as how the 2 think he might be connected to 961Pro.
Next week Jupiter's announced.
After the party you learn that Yayoi feels pressured by her responsibilities as a leader and as the eldest daughter of her family but the two talk it over.

I wonder what the invitation is?

Yayoi prepared a big, expensive looking party, with the help of Iori's butler, because she feels bad that she'd nominated earlier than Iori even though Yayoi debuted later but Iori is happy seeing how Yayoi doesn't act funny anymore.
Yayoi invited everyone from the office, various media people and Shoute of 961Pro.
P and Shouta talk for a while and Shouta thinks that Yayoi won't be too big a threat, but P tells him that Yayoi has him and everyone else and won't lose.

In week 53 you'll get a phonecall, Yayoi should've went home 2 hours ago but she hasn't. P goes off to search for Yayoi and finds her.
Yayoi feels somewhat uncertain but P tells her that her big-brother will support her.

Jupiter loses and Shouta apologises to Yayoi for the rude stuff he said before.
After the awards Yayoi's having a yakiniku party at her house and everyone from the office is invited.
Though cramped, Yayoi's happy having over such a big group. She has her parents, her siblings, her big brother Producer and her family from the office.

Azusa+ navigation is bad.
Zoom, Jet, zoom, one year later.

You return from Hollywood and you meet up Yayoi, some chattering and Yayoi gets a work-related call from a studio; it seems she's become more reliable in the past year.. or did she.
It seems she told them that her producer'll take care of everything and hangs up.
It seems Yayoi likes her big family and made every idol in her office part of the unit.
The scheduling's so difficult they needed 2 people, Yayoi and Ritsuko, to plan everything all the time but now that Producer returned they'll dump everything on him and'll focus on idol work again.



To expand Mami's part a bit, posted here
http://forum.project-imas.com/index.php/topic,1142.msg23779.html#msg23779
Mami doesn't care about the popularity contest anymore because she thought it'd be more fun and Ami agrees that it was stupid. Mami says she's found something way more interesting and shows off how awesome her oniichan is to Ami, he can do everything and is great at tsukomi etc.
Ami also wants an awesome oniichan and wants to borrow him, saying she won't break him in the way one'd borrow a toy, but Mami refuses.
The 2 made up.

Insert engine trouble.
Zoom jet zoom.

One year later P arrives at the airport and meets up with the twins and is happy they came to get him.
The twins tell P that they need to hurry up or they'll be late and P wonders what they're talking about and notices the two brought suitcases with them.
The twins hand over a letter from the president to P and he learns that the twins secretely took an audition for some big movie and now they need to go to Hollywood and Takagi wants you to go with them.
And thus P gets dragged back to Hollywood by the twins..

Yayoi invited everyone from the office, various media people and Shouta of 961Pro. (Huh? She invited Shouta? What for?)

P and Shouta talk for a while and Shouta thinks that Yayoi won't be too big a threat, but P tells him that Yayoi has him and everyone else and won't lose.

Jupiter loses and Shouta apologises to Yayoi for the rude stuff he said before.

So you're saying...Shouta's (sort of) bullying Yayoi?

Oh it's nothing...It's just fanart. Nothing much.

[TweenDoriru]

Clear Blue, I think you hid some of your comments on Yayoi's story in the quote from BT2?

Nonetheless, Yayoi's "family" from the office. People she's close to, like her "big brother" Producer. A figurative family, not a physically-blood-related family.

The president of his company thinks that Iori of RK's his biggest threat but Shouta thinks it's Yayoi.

So wait, Shouta thinks Yayoi's a threat, or doesn't he?

[ikuto-sama]

I wonder what the invitation is?


(Even Touma is curious...XD)

(Wait a minute...765Pro invited 961Pro? UMAD?!?!)

Can I just kind of steal that picture and use it as my avatar? Because it's just like...LULZ.

And 765pro invited 961pro? At first what comes to mind is "Are you guys DUMB?" But at the same time, the fact that Kuroi accepted such an invitation? Hmmm...my "How to be an Antagonist" handbook clearly states that you should decline any gesture of kindness from your rivals, no matter how much you want to crush them. XD

[BT2]

(Huh? She invited Shouta? What for?)

I forgot, but Yayoi doesn't seem to dislike Shouta or it's more like she wasn't there whenever he's talking about her.
First time you meet him, it was just P and Iori.
2nd time you tried to keep the two away and it sort of worked.
3rd time Yayoi was busy greeting people at the party.

So you're saying...Shouta's (sort of) bullying Yayoi?

I don't think so, it's more like he's so overconfident on his own skills that he says stuff bluntly like that, I don't think there's much hostility in his words.

So wait, Shouta thinks Yayoi's a threat, or doesn't he?

He thinks of her as a bigger threat than RK's Iori, but not as something he can't handle.

And 765pro invited 961pro? At first what comes to mind is "Are you guys DUMB?" But at the same time, the fact that Kuroi accepted such an invitation?

It's just a party organised by Yayoi, not one by the company, so I don't think it's that much of a problem.
Yayoi probably invited Shouta because they're the both the same age and idols.

[Clear Blue]

Yes, I know.

Is it another one of Kuroi's lies again?

Can I just kind of steal that picture and use it as my avatar? Because it's just like...LULZ.

Hell no! It's mine! (I gave you my pervy Shouta avvy, now go.)

So Yayoi's neutral or maybe has a liking towards Shouta? (Or maybe they're just friendly rivals?)

Overconfident boy meets 200% Genki girl?
*thinks for a while*
Makes sense.

But why a threat? Is it because Kuroi said some lie to him?

They maybe the same age and also idols but it seems kinda odd that she invited her own rival.

[BT2]

But why a threat? Is it because Kuroi said some lie to him?

Perhaps threat wasn't exactly the best word to describe the situation, but he thinks Yayoi's stage is more fun than Iori's but he doesn't think she can beat him.

Is it because Kuroi said some lie to him?

The only 2 characters who'd fall for one of Kuroi's lies are Hibiki in SP and Touma, as mentioned by Shouta in w53.

[Aya Kyunik]

Thanks for the summaries guys~

*sad face* Well I guess it is true...I'm just lazy. I should gather my own screenshots and make my own avatars... XD

I think Yayoi's too nice to intentionally exclude people. Even if he's her rival, I guess because they're more like friendly rivals or she kind of likes him she invited him. Either way it's cute. Now the ShoutaxYayoi shipping thing...I see where the idea came from now.

I see too, but if anything, Shouta will have the initiative here, since Yayoi's innocence in these sort of matter will kick in. XD

[blake307]

Hmm.. Yayoi's story is pretty interesting.

Oh and could you do Yukiho's story as well? I'm really interested to see what it is.

Hahaha, true. Shouta will have to just work harder. XD

I've been curious about Yukiho's story myself. I'd really like to see what it is.
