Alien mascot ???

[airgeneralpong]

Regarding to Danketsu 団結 video, can anyone tell me what are those alien mascots? 
I've seen that each and every idols have their own personal mascot (actually, even the President also has one!!!!!). Are they somewhat like a minigame in idolm@ster? Why aren't they popular like nonowa? (rarely to be seen). You guys may start the new topic with their real name, cause I don't know what they are. qo_0p...

[Drunken Watermelon]

Katamari Damacy Princes, most likely based on the 360 game Beautiful Katamari.

So, actually, they are not in idolm@ster!? Why are they in Danketsu video?

[Drunken Watermelon]

I believe it's a song that plays in that game while you're rolling stuff up, not sure I've never played the 360 game before.

The game is made by the same company.

their both bandai namco, so is taiko no tatsujin, they have im@s songs in their as well.
theres also pacman outfits in L4U DLC

Yea, Namco is well-known to reference many of their other franchises in their games. Ridge Racer is probably the most well-known example, since many names of characters, places, objects, and game titles (Yoshimitsu, Erusia, Arkbird, and DigDug for example) are sponsors used on the cars.

I believe the story is that there is a level in Beautiful Katamari where you collect objects in the 765 Productions offices, with Danketsu playing as the BGM. In the Danketsu music video, each idol has a representative "cousin" of the Prince character from the Katamari games.

in case you're wondering who has which cousin...

Yayoi: Ace


Chihaya: Ryu


Yukiho: Shy


Ritsuko: Huey


Haruka: Ichigo


Ami/Mami: Nik


Azusa: Drooby


Iori: Princess


Miki: Pu


Makoto: Kuro


Takagi Shachou: Mu

If the newcomers had representative cousins, here's who I think they would get...

Takane: Macho


Hibiki: Foomin


Ai: Harvest


Eri: June


Ryo: Johnson

Ryo: Johnson

...please tell me that isn't for the reason that I'm thinking XD

Ai's being Harvest (is that a new cousin, btw?) fits her to a T, though.

...huh?

OH! I totally didn't realize that! XD

Ai's being Harvest (is that a new cousin, btw?) fits her to a T, though.

Yup, Harvest is a newer one. I picked him because of a fanart I saw before the old forum crashed that was colored to make her hair look like an apple (did anyone save that farart, BTW?)

because her head really does look like an apple! XD

And, I think I drew the one you're talking about (I don't know if anyone else colored her hair like an apple and uploaded it XD), so yeah, I still have it. :3
