iDOLM@STER 2!!

[TweenDoriru]

While it does seem Azusa is out, if you look at her silhouette, she's not in any sort of uniform. Just a nice performance getup. So perhaps she does get to be in. Ritsuko is out though, no one likes her.

It'd be a pity for her to be the only idol not to return. As much as I want her in the game, though (I must be no one, because I like her! ), with the silhouettes appearing to be Cute & Girly costumes, the pants make it seem unlikely.

...unless it's all part of her costume.

They've actually got enough CDs for three days!
The only thing that sold out today were the calenders.

And Scotty obviously hasn't met a lot of fellow producers...

darn, i was interested in a calendar too...

If anyone is planning on going to the live tomorrow, please let me know! I am interested in the limited CD and calendar. Unfortunately I have the JLPT test tomorrow which runs until about 16:30 so I doubt I will make it in time. I'd rather not chance it.

Never took a JLPT test so don't know how long it is, but they start selling merchandise at 10 am, so you might be able to make it if you wake up early.

Has anyone noticed that shachou's name has been changed to 高木順二朗?

I am most satisfied with Makoto's new look.
72 remians 72  

Back from the 5th live, with on the spot Winfo from GamiP.

- Set half a year later from original Im@s, where all the girls have already debuted, but hit a popularity wall. This is where you come in.
- The theme is "Unity." Hence, it's fixed as a trio, and your job is not only to take care of an individual, but also to look after a group.
- All the idols are also a year older.

Yeah, that's about it.
I have a massive headache from all the excitement.

That would be perfect. I really like to see interaction between idols! Think of the combination of trios the game could have...

...Maybe he's 順一朗's brother or son...

btw, am I the only one that who doesn't like the new logo?

Nah, I'm with you on that.  It looks a little more cartoonish in comparison to the original.  The original was more sleek.  The font on this one is way too edgy, and it looks compressed sitting next to that #2, plus I don't understand the purpose of those circle ring things but I guess they needed to include them xD

There are 13 stars on the rings, so I guess the stars represent the idols.

God, I was so excited when I heard this news.  This is going to be one really long wait...
Also, expect PS3 release by late 2011 or early 2012.

I moved this topic to the 360 section.
I'm sorry Ben and Scotty, at least the game is an exclusive on 360 for now

[H4ataraxia]

FFFFFFFFFFFF
the new game looks naise meng
they did an awesome job with slightly older characters
makoto looks noticable
and chihaya and yukipo now has bigger tits, what is this.
everyone has changed except for haruka, yayoi and yukipo
azusa with shorter hair, sorry cien
961 idols producing, communication event with 3 characters at once
shit looks so cash guise.

No need to apologize to me.  I'm, at the moment, a JP 360-only owner.  I'm glad at the time it's 360 only, but I can't seem to trust 360 exclusives anymore, especially when it comes to Namco.

Now, with trio-only producing, how much different communications do you think would exist now?

[Picup]

...that was one of the scariest CMs I've ever seen o_o

Same here <_<

The new graphics are sweet, I like 'em a lot.
Ritsuko!Palin looks great X: (although, when I read Scotty's comment at first I went O: )
Azusa and Makoto's new look reminded me of the fan-made im@s girls side of course that's not a bad thing
... Am I the only one who doesn't notice the change in chest sizes?

I agree with you.  Namco 

With trio-only producing...Let's do a calculation.

I am bad at math, so from this calculator here:

http://www.mathsisfun.com/combinatorics/combinations-permutations-calculator.html
How many objects are there? - 13 idols
How many objects will u choose? - 3 (A trio)

There are 286 possible combinations for trios.

So if each trio has an event, there are at least 286 communications.

Anyway, I am sure that it won't be calculated this way, but it's still fun to do a little math game

Now that you speak of it...


Especially for Azusa!

[Cael K.]

azusa with shorter hair, sorry cien

... I liked her long hair...
Give her a year, she can grow it back out? I mean.... when a lady cuts her hair...

Not seen dancing or singing: Azusa, Ritsuko, Ami (doesn't count), Iori. I am hoping this only means something isn't fine tuned about them yet. My guess is that dancing animations haven't been tuned yet.

I guess I was wrong on two new idols. I really thought they might do that. 876 has yet to be seen.
