The iDOLM@STER: SideM (mobage)

[MetalPredat0r]

No Ryo to be found!

They have a guy that looks like a girl, and it's not Ryo. ;_;

Also, one looks like Takane with short hair and another looks like Chris Weatherfield.

Oh god, I see the male Takane. I was worried that they would have characters that are expies of the original idols and unfortunately there are some here.

[ninjamitsuki]

Well, if it's anything like Cinderella Girls, they'll add new characters, and maybe Ryo will be one of them!

...I'm going to remain hopeful that Ryo is in this somehow.

And also those people saying Jupiter will be just as important as 765 are in Cinderella Girls... They might be right, as they don't have casual outfits. I imagine Hokuto, Touma and Shouta are starters.


Also looky here, 765 makes a cameo!:

Let's not set that bar too high with those jobs now.

There was an article, including a trailer, about this on siliconera if you guys haven't seen it yet

So they all have high paying jobs and want to be idols instead?

Apparently...

Sokabe Shuji, 曽我部修司, (the character designer for Gods Eater Burst and Persona 3 & 4) was in charge of character design according to the ja. wiki article... I still can't tell if Jupiter is part of 961PRO still...

[ninjamitsuki]

I read a google translated version of the Famitsu article and under Jupiter what I could make out of the garbled translation was something along the lines of "we are starting fresh". So I guess they quit 961.

[SakuraMaxX]

I thought we already knew they quit 961 since...... forever ago.

I thought we already knew they quit 961 since...... forever ago.

I thought this as well

[ninjamitsuki]

I thought so too, but for all we know this could have been an AU.

Look at the trailer again...

Jupiter are former 961Pro idols and now they work for different idol production companies. (There's no such thing as an AU, guys.)

Huh... I was just confused because they're still on the 961PRO website and that SHINY FESTA rules them 961 idols...

Look at the trailer again...

Jupiter are former 961Pro idols and now they work for different idol production companies. (There's no such thing as an AU, guys.)

So if they've officially broken away from 961PRO and joined 315PRO, where does this leave "Gold Productions" (the company they defected into in their manga series)?

[SakuraMaxX]

I'm probably going to end up cosplaying Kaoru in the near future.

[ZetaFlare]

Kaoru kind of reminds me of Kyoya from Ouran High School Host Club.

Game is open here.

It plays more like ML.
