iDOLM@STER 2!!

[s8C]

He's had a voice before in drama CDs, hasn't he?

[animagic4u]

Yeah, but only because silent protagonists get nowhere in drama CDS.

[swiftnissity]

The Yandere drama CD's have a silent protagonist, and they work out pretty well.

Voted F, like the many producers I know around me.

I would abstain from the first vote, and if they'd give the Producer a singing voice, I'd abstain from this one too (though Group D would just be standard and a kinda no-vote, I guess). If not, Group F for sure. I'd put money on Group F getting more votes than any other group, even A-C in their vote.

Loving the google translate of that page

● E unit potential employees (P · Ritsuko Bird Producer)

Bird Producer?
FLY MY PRETTIES! FLY!

● B 12/01 simultaneous release candidate units "MASTER ARTIST 2 04-06" (sound Tihaya noble True)

Tihaya....

Hey, a friend of mine pointed this out (since I can't understand 98% of what I read in Japanese);

Are they holding a vote for the Smoky Thrill song? Or are they adding more groups (including Ryuuguu Komachi) to the vote for The world is all one!!? It seems like from chatting with other people, that they just added groups to the original vote upon closer inspection.

Anyone very knowledgable in Japanese, feel free to say "it says right HERE! that units D, E, and F are for who will sing Smoky Thrill!". But even though most of us can't actually vote, it seems like there may have been a misunderstanding amongst all of us "voting" in this topic XD

If this is the case, I'd still vote unit C for the song. I think a Yukiho&Mami&Yayoi trio sounds like it'd be cute~

... I retract my earlier statements, I should really read things through instead of just skimming them. I apologize, thanks for pointing this out.

７６５プロから新たな候補が３組エントリー！
「SMOKY THRILL」 のCDリリースが決定している話題のユニット「竜宮小町」、
マルチな活躍で注目の「秋月律子」も参戦！なぜか事務員やＰの皆さんも！？

Well, first there'll be a Smoky Thrill CD released, by Ryuuguu. They'll be in the running for The World is All One, though, along with Ritsuko (who does anything and everything), and... for some reason, the staff and Producer.

... So, definitely Group F for me.

[Cael K.]

I understand this was pages and pages ago, but... people are jumping from Im@s to Dream Club, from what I hear?

... Well I just checked Wikipedia on a whim and... doesn't BNGI own D3?

Date of acquisition: 24 July, 2009.
Date of Dream Club's release: 27 August, 2009.

... ZETSUBOU SHITAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A month after the event, though, I do wonder how people in Japan are taking this...

[Cael K.]

... I'm like, the only person saying anything here as of late. ^^;

This week's Im@sStation has Day of the Future (short version) in it for those of you who want to hear it. Skip to around 9:20.

They're not releasing new information, so the forum's kinda at another dead spot. Day of the Future sounds pretty good so far ^^ Look forward to hearing that full track.

I think people can still "jump" to Dream C Club. It does have its original elements, but there are definitely elements that seem to spin off from iM@S. There are even a few characters that look similar (Setsu, Amane with the double-ribbon thing?) if not the same (Nao and...whatshername. Chihaya-lookalike).

I guess it hasn't really bothered most since NBGI owns both, but considering when they bought D3 compared to when the game released, the characters had to have looked like that already. XD

On an entirely different note...I wonder if all of the songs (we should expect around 16 by default, I guess?) for iM@S2 will be new, or if they'll include songs we've heard already that haven't had a stage.

[Pizzaman]

They did say they'll use some songs from the original, but seeing how The Idolmaster got a 2nd mix, I guess they'll remix old songs if they're going to feature more.

[TweenDoriru]

Let's hope the song listing isn't
GO MY WAY!! 2nd Mix
Ohayou!Asagohan! 2nd Mix
Agent Yoru wo Yuku 2nd Mix
Taiyou no Jealousy 2nd Mix
...*shot*

It'd be nice if some songs showed up that were from other CD's (like LOBM did in SP). Though, if anything, it'd be DLC...

[Neko-P]

 Personally, I kinda hope some of the ReM@sters come back... Like the spanish-sounding one for Agent wo Yoru Iku, or B for 9:02 PM...

no, they wouldn't just give them to us....DLC anyone?
