Hehehe. Scotty's gonna be pissed! :D
Well, I'm just hoping that the origonal songs like Relations and 9:02 pm are still in the game, or at the very least DLC. If they keep them, I won't hesitate to buy the game.

Yurishii... ;_;
I'm going to cry in a corner for a bit...
All the other news sounds great, but, Yurishii....
zeda12123:
5 idol trios? Someone do the math on how many combinations that is.
I am hoping for the DS girls, sience from what we've seen, the story seems to have alot to do with trios. They would be perfect. Lets hope for unlockables.
I wouldn't mind a whole roster of new songs, and being able to bring back classics (perhaps beating auditions with certain idols will bring back thier image songs? |Or some other idol-specific criteria.)

Well, I say we should give Asakura a chance, at least. She might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
Pizzaman:
Since there's no new trailer again, hopefully it'll be there tomorrow... or always wait till the 9th, when new Yukiho's voice will be a free DL from Im@s Mobile.
Asakura-san and Im@s--
--You've been to Im@s auditions previously, but when did you find out about the idol, Yukiho?
Asakura: Before I went to my first Im@s audition, I did research into the game. I also got invites from my agency, Artsvision, and have been to a few live concerts. I knew what all the idols are like, and their VAs too. I was also lucky enough to be surrounded by Yukiho fans, so I got a lot of insight into her.
--So, Yukiho... what were your first impressions of her?
Asakura: Fragile like a flower... and digs holes.
-- Haha!. Then, what were your impressions on Im@s as a game?
Asakura: It's very different from other voice acting jobs I've done in the past. Normally a seiyuu's job is to give characters a voice, and when going on stage, you go on stage as yourself, not the character. But in the case of Im@s, we have the idols, then we have the seiyuu, and while we are two separate entities, we feel so close to each other. This is something I've never experienced before.
--I guess that's one appeal of Im@s, but it must be hard on the VA too. Asakura-san, do you have any similarities to Yukiho?
Asakura: I'm usually the one to go to the back row and be slightly off the center, so I guess that is a similarity with Yukiho. I also like dark places... whenever I say Yukiho's "I'm going to dig hole and bury myself!", I feel so much at home. Oh, but gradually I've started to sense Yukiho's inner strength while recording her lines. She's actually a strong girl with a strong will... I think I share that with Yukiho too.
Asakura-san and sempai Im@s VAs--
--Your agency, Artsvision, is also the agency where Nakamura-san (Haruka) and Hasegawa-san (Miki) works. Were you friends with them before being involved with Im@s?
Asakura: Before being chosen for Yukiho's role, I didn't talk with them much, only talked about when the next live concert is, and things like that. So now that I'm Yukiho all of a sudden, I was at a loss for who to talk to. We've only recently started talking to each other as friends, after I met the two of them at another recording studio and they congratulated me on being part of the Im@s team.
--What were their reactions when you told them your role?
Asakura: The first thing they asked me was "how many songs are you going to record?"
--Hehe, a hard road all the other VAs have walked in the past. The first time you worked as a team was at this live concert, correct?
Asakura: Recording for the game is done solo, so I met some of the seiyuus for the first time when preparing for the live. I hope I get to know them well soon. They are all very kind though, and when I couldn't get my dance right, they stuck with me until I could work out my mistakes. Akiko-chan, Yumi-chan and Nuu-Nuu are fun to talk to during breaks, and Eriko-san is always so nice to me.
Before the live, a message to producers--
--What are your impressions of Im@s fans - the producers?
Asakura: While I was watching previous live events from the back of the hall, I didn't see a single person taking a break from cheering. Everyone together as a team and cheering... I go to other live events too, but no other events have so much energy and unity. I hope they accept me as part of that too.
--What are your feelings about being announced as Yukiho's new seiyuu at the live?
Asakura: I'm looking forward to it! It was around this time last year when I was chosen, and right after I was chosen I was full of spirit, although when recording started, I started to become afraid whether the fans would accept me or not, whether I would be able to be Yukiho. But now that I've done everything I can up to this point, I'm purely happy to be part of the Idolm@ster team.
--And now, the same question to Ishihara-san. Any worries about todays announcement?
D1: I've nothing to worry about. Hase-san's Yukiho is Yukiho. Asakura-san's Yukiho is also Yukiho. It doesn't mean Hase-san's Yukiho would just disappear, and since Asakura-san's Yukiho has finished recording, I can assure you that Yukiho will still remain being cute. I can guarantee everyone that Yukiho will remain unchanged and still be the idol everyone loves. Of course, just saying this in text has little meaning, and so there'll be a chance for everyone to listen to Asakura-san's Yukiho voice.
--Do you any specific plans for this?
D1: On Im@s Mobile, we'll be distributing free ring-voices of new Yukiho, since it's the most accessible platform right now. Afterwards, through radio and other means. we'll steadily reveal the voice of new Yukiho to the public. The sudden announcement will indeed be a shock to producers and it's not in my good will to leave it at that. July is only just a doorstep.
--I understand now. New Yukiho, to everyone.
D1: Of course, it's not just Yukiho who'll need to be known. I want everyone to notice Yukiho as a character again, but also everyone to see what Asakura-san is like. Having the character known is the most important aspect, but establishing a strong connection with the seiyuu will be a strong backbone, and will make the character seem much more human and appealing.
Because the theme of Im@s 2 is "unity", I hope everyone will be united by the time the game is released.
