The iDOLM@STER: Million Live!

[Cael K.]

The dramas were bundled with the limited edition of each manga, so they could be a little hard to get outside of Japan right now. Looks like Amazon.co.jp has some Vol. 2 limiteds right now, so you could spring for those. The drama CDs do have songs on them though, so that's kinda cool.

The regular editions should be much easier to get your hands on, though.

Thanks for the heads up, Cael. I'll get around and then some.

Shame the manga's apparently in translation drought, though.

Did you try CDJapan?
Not sure if they have it.

Somehow I ended up buying all my copies in person (vol 1 in California, and vol 2 and 3 in the Namco Store Osaka).

I really want to attempt translating the manga as I feel like I have a decent understanding of it, but as said before still a little foggy on some parts and unable to get scans. I do however have some of those summaries as I said I would do earlier in the works. Sorry it's taking forever, keep revising them so they'll be nice.

There goes Tristar Vision, along with much of my interest. You dun goofed, Japan.

[Maka]

Hinata and not Matsuri as the corrupt boss? No Tristar Vision?

*fart noises*

[MetalPredat0r]

To be fair, Hinata as the mob boss is funny irony.

But no TriStar is load of bull, though. Pass.

Has there really been any interactions with Elena? Seems all I find are KotohaxMegumi.

[Maka]

Well, for Elena with either of them:

There's this card with Megumi (the awakened version is them singing a duet):

And for Elena/Kotoha, Elena appears in the background of a few of Kotoha's cards.

Kotoha/Megumi gets the most screen time since they were in Burning Girl together, but there's still interaction with the others. I'm not super familiar with the girls as much as I'm familiar with other MLs, so maybe someone else could say more about them?

[MetalPredat0r]

I know the earlier chapters of the ML manga were more Kotoha/Elena based since Megumi doesn't show up at all until around Chapter 16.

What's notable is that all three have never had a sing together. Kotoha and Megumi have two group songs to their names together yet Elena is never with them. Even in LTD 06 which features Kotoha and Elena in the same album, they're not singing a duet together.

[DeviantProtagonist]

There's also this, because yay fanservice:



But really, you know Tristar's a sad state of affairs when people have to vote in Megumi's manga appearance. My only real hope at this point is an actual Million Live anime, mostly because in Cinderella Girls you saw unconventional trios have an actual presence. A tease more than anything.

Barring that? God continues to weep for these girls.

First of all, this isn't the final result, it's taken 1 minute before the voting end, so the winner is not certain yet.

As for Elena and Kotoha, they refer to each other as their best friend in the event long time ago, in fact, I'm pretty sure Megumi is a later addition to the group. beside the three refer to each other often in event dialogue.

About Megumi appearance in the manga, Monji or Gessan-P (the editor for the manga) said on twitter that they plan to debut Megumi a chapter after the special episode but the voting result change that.

[MetalPredat0r]

So some pretty big news.

The original Million Live GREE app is shutting down.



Do note that this does not mean Million Live as a whole is being shut down/cancelled. Theater Days will remain active.

But the original GREE app for Million Live is shutting down and will terminate by the end of 2017. Theater Days will be ML's main form of new content.
