Why did they put little work in lip-syncing for SP but they do it well here?
Really nice performance though.

I bet there's some sort of cheap trick they can pull off on the DS to get the perfect 1 px outline on stuff, I see it in many games and they never glitch up like on any cel-shaded games I've seen before.

The DS was always good with cartoonish graphics, no idea why developers keep trying to make stuff that looks realistic when the DS clearly isn't good at displaying such things.

nowano-san
Thanks a lot for sharing the latest scans with us and also for checking my own translation. I should say that information gets outdated very quickly. I've just finished translation the old version of girls (and guy's) profiles when they get completely rewritten.

Still, I think I should finish what I started. It's worth noting that the last 2 pages in the G's magazine article about gameplay are still quite up-to-date. I'll get to them, too but it appears that I can't translate more than 1 page a day so the rest of translation will come in parts.

translation, continued
(page 86)

(in large font, dark) The leading role of im@s DS belongs to one of three idols, big individuals, who will be shown out to 876 Pro. Which girl do YOU choose?
(in large font, purple) An idol who jumped into reality from the Net.

No.2.Mizutani Eri

Profile
Age: 15 years old
Height: 152 cm
Weight: 36 kg
Birthdate:  March 7
Blood type: B
BWH: 82-53-76
Hobby: Collecting images. Jigsaw puzzles.

(text in the pink box) She’s popular in the Internet. A Net idol, that is.
She decided to make her debut in RL too, because it’s a news hook.
A former hikikomori, she’s quick-witted but has a timid character.

No.3. Akidzuki Ryou

(in large font, purple) A boyish girl (TL Note: it should be ‘a girlish boy’ as it turns out) whose cousin is an idol in active service.

Profile
Age: 15 years old
Height: 162 cm
Weight: 54 kg
Birthdate:  September 15
Blood type: O
BWH: 80-59-80
Hobby: Household chores, cooking and such.

(text in the pink box) A new idol who is very stylish, slim and tall. It looks like she made her debut relying on Ritsuko with a certain aim in her mind. Ritsuko is Akidzuki Ritsuko, her cousin and a popular idol from 765 Pro.

高身長(こうしんちょう)- high height, being tall
(TL Note: Ideal husband for Japanese women is one who has - ‘ an academic degree, a high salary and is tall’ 高学歴高収入高身長)

(continued from page 86)

Akidzuki Ritsuko
A very smart idol who sticks to logical thinking (lit. ‘a theorist’). She also happens to be Ryou’s cousin.

Miura Adzusa
Onee-san, a natural airhead, she tends to do things at her own pace and she’s pretty carefree.

Minase Iori
She’s very talented and has great looks. The only bad thing about her is that she’s pretty selfish (=a real whim).
即戦力(そくせんりょく)- ready fire power
素質(そしつ)- character, genius
玉に傷(たまにきず)- spot in the sun (lit. crack in the jewel)

Kikuchi Makoto
A girl who has a charm of looking boyish (lit. androgynous looks. That is, you can’t guess whether it’s a boy or a girl), she longs to look more feminine.

Futamu Ami and Futami Mami
High-tension idols, they can act in shifts as they’re twins.

Ganaha Hibiki
A tough girl from Okinawa who is proud (=100% confident) of her dancing skills.

Hoshii Miki
Extremely stylish and talented, Miki is rather flighty (=whim #2 after Iorin)

抜群(ばつぐん)- distinction

Shijou Takane
She’s called a queen with silver hair, has an awesome charisma to the point of being scary.

威圧感(いあつかん)- intimidating

(to be continued)

So um according to the wiki

Ai's mentor is Haruka (saw that coming a mile away)
Ryo's mentor is Makoto (figures)
Who's eri's mentor? i'm gonna go check out the videos and see who she talks to

EDIT: Okay so Eri is only seen talking to the loli trio (Yayoi, Mami, and Iori) in the first PV. My guess is Yayoi, even though their personalities are at complete odds.

Well, in any case don't put too much value to the word 'mentor'. That was just my interpretation of the article. I think the one intended in Eri's case is Ozaki by the way.

Anyway, thank you very much for the great scans, nowano. Added the new info to the Dearly Stars wiki page. (And some old info I was too lazy to add before xD)

Hmm, I must say that Dearly Stars's graphics are quite good for a DS game. Not the best, but still good.

I know the Iron Eyes will guide me!
