I really, really wanted LOBM to be a quintet song :< It still looks good, though (and they changed the coreography for part of the song...wonder why). I still want it, though now it'd be more of a tie between me getting money for LOBM or Kyun!Vampire Girl...
However, I'd skip out on all accessories in this catalog, even if I intended to buy that much MSP. They look nuts. XD

I agree. I mean, ice cream? Really? And the dolphin...
I'm excited to see LOBM as DLC, but I think it would have been a great quintet song. And there definitely needs to be more of those. XD

I didn't think the DLC catalogs for the second game could get any worse. This is quite a new low :<
To those who are eating this up, enjoy spending your msp on this, but really? This is all recycled and not a lot of effort into it, but I guess that's just DLC these days. The same bathing suits you've bought before in older games with only a slight gimmick, odd accessories, and a throwback song from SP's sendoff catalog? I mean it was odd enough they did a Halloween themed DLC catalog (COME ON, YOU KNOW IT WAS) months before October. While this is fitting since it's summer, it just makes me wonder if they have any direction with the DLC at all or if it'll end up reselling old content.

To be entirely honest, I don't doubt that the catalogs will dwindle down to them re-selling old stuff. It's come to that in every game sans the original iM@S360, you know? And that's only because there wasn't anything old to re-sell XD
LOBM may be a "throwback song from SP's sendoff catalog", but despite it not being never-been-seen-or-heard brand new, it's new to the 360 -- new to trios and duos, and shiny HD graphics.
I can't hound them too much for the new catalogs so far -- I mean, we've had 4 catalogs of brand-new songs and original costumes, so it's not like they're starting off by selling old stuff. Now, if they had started off selling things we already have on consoles (i.e. the missing MA songs, Arcade songs, L4U Extends, etc. for max price), I'd be in an uproar, too.
You know, if we could connect with the Japanese fanbase to "strike" against buying rehashed / super-expensive DLC and enough people actually skipped out on it, maybe NBGI would push their creative department to your satisfaction (or at least lower prices? *wishful thinking*), but until something drastic like that happens, I can't see NBGI changing anything. :s I just hope iM@S2 catalogs don't get as bad as the end of SP's XD The catalogs where they were taking costumes from other stuff were painful.

LOL it's not really an uproar, more of just a disappointment over quality/creativity. I have no problem with seeing good DLC brought forward, like all the Xbox crossovers into SP, so it's not an issue I have with it being old material. It's just seeing what happened with the laziness in SP that brought about a bunch of crappy catalogs, makes you wonder if this is just the first catalog of rehashing for Im@s2. So if all the posts are correct about LOBM not going higher than trio, why bother bringing back that song in such a half-ass way lol? Also, the generic two-piece bathing suit outfit has been done so many times in the past, I'm not sure why they didn't focus on the hairstyle altering aspect and make that into an item for all idols.

The swimsuit thing, I can wholeheartedly agree with. Especially given we already have 2 swimsuits in the game as is...that's like the Burger Kneepads, kinda -- a recolor of an accessory we already have (and a useless one, at that XD) but swimsuits sell, I suppose. *shrug*
Though, LOBM not being quintet-compatible is just lame XD For all the quintet-stage showings prior to the game's release...the quintet song list is way too small. Honey Heartbeat's our only 5-idol DLC song :<
I'm still waiting for NBGI to release something that'll really make me actually -want- to buy the whole catalog. And, I do have faith for them to do that (a la SP's Catalog 13!) but it's a matter of waiting...God I hope they release Kimi wa Melody with a really great costume and accessory set
