iDOLM@STER 2!!
Elixir:
It's a lot of effort if it's a fake.
KIRBYSIM:
If this is real we'll know when Famitsu posts it on their website in a couple of days' time.
But really the more I scrutinise the scan, the more I feel it can't be real. The only screenshots depicting quintet performances are the ones on the upper right and lower right corners of the second page - which are so devoid of details that they look like cartoon paintings someone made up.
All the other screenshots look like L4U screencaps with some editing work done.

iM@S2 console bundle.
So, does the DLC card allow you to download the Games on Demand version of L4U? I don't think that would work outside of Japan.
Mediocre bundle, honestly. I was expecting something like a themed console or faceplate.

Yeah it's not terribly appealing.
But I think the Games on Demand thing should work if your XBL account belongs to a territory that has it up for sale. Worse case scenario, you can always create a Japanese account to redeem the game with.

Okay, I think I may have found a smoking gun to prove that the scan is fake (it's not conclusive but... oh, just bear with me here).
Refer to the screenshot of Dotop TV rankings on the second page of the scan. It looks completely different from the official screenshot as seen here: http://www.bandainamcogames.co.jp/cs/list/idolmaster/im2/system/index.html
1) Note the design of the leaderboards. It looks similar to the one in L4U (fits 10 on one page), and completely different from the official screenshot (only fits 5 on one page, slanted alignment).
2) The Dotop character face is made up of many smaller squares, and has a chip on his top-left corner. Comparatively, in the fake scan... well, it just looks like something someone conjured up in MS Paint.
3) Most tellingly, in all of the official Dotop TV screenshots and videos (from trailers 1, 2, and 6) if you look at the bottom of the screen it says press B to exit, and if you look in Dotop's speech bubble it tells you to press Y to access the replay (if there's a replay available; in trailer 6 the listing given had no replay). In the fake scan, however, at the bottom it lists commands for X, Y, and B buttons. And in the speech bubble it tells you to press A to select.

Well, there's also this to mind; the story-mode leaderboard could just have a different appearance/etc. than the leaderboard among players for that stage-mode.
(also, image quality can't have a huge factor in this one; the scan is blurry all over. Maybe the person who gets the magazines early only has a super poor webcam or something?)
All the more exciting to see what update will come soon, hopefully with clear screenshots, text, etc. etc.
