THE iDOLM@STER and your family

[digi162]

My brother knows I have the game but he doesn't know shit about it.  I just remember him asking why I bought a PSP and I was all FOR THIS.  FOR THISSSSSS.  And he looked at it and was like.  OH.  THAT'S WHY I've never heard of it.  It's in Japanese.

My Friends and family have no clue that im a iDOLM@STER fan everyone thinks im into Heavy Metal which is a good cover up for my Hidden Otaku hopefully no one will ever find out.

When I got iM@S SP I showed it to my sister and she was like "can you show me how to play?" so I taught her how to play in office mode. I opened up pictures of each girl and showed her each one telling her their names and asked which one she wanted to play, she pointed to Yayoi and said something like "tell me where in these moonrunes to go to play her". I showed her then where Yayoi was in the menu and explained how to pick songs and costumes and stuff. I pointed out the katakana for the stats and said what each of them were. Taught her how to play and she played some office mode with Yayoi. She really does like yayoi, even asked me to make a wallpaper for her computer with yayoi on it. :3

As for my parents, they really don't care. I just have to bug them about buying PSN yen cards because I don't have a credit card. They do their usual "what are they saying, (chinese-sounding gibberish), ahahaha. Do you really understand what they're saying?" In general my parents are cool with my like of japanese stuff.

My mom helps me with cosplays, my dad does voices in dubs on occasion, and my sister watches shows with me (and watches me play some games too). My family's pretty cool I guess.

Now where have you gone and lost yourself nyachan~?

My family doesn't  know that I'm an iM@S fan but that just because I'm to broke to show it. I don't really talk about it to much with other people because it just takes too long to explain it and they tend to group off the Otaku with the twilight fans around here soooo... I just keep to myself. (No offense to Twilight fans)

My family loves IM@S
except for my dad
he's hates animu or anything related to cartoon/animation
my mom bought an import xbox a while back to even play the xbox version and my sister buying a psp for SP
my little sister just likes the singing.

I tend to keep my life and interests to myself.
Therefore, my family doesn't know much about it. I'm not even sure what they think after seeing my Idolmaster figures, though my mom mentioned that my Ami Nendo was cute when I got it.

Mother: "Oh, just another videogame my son plays"
Father: "Oh cool, anime"
Brother: "I wonder what color Yukiho's pantsu are..."
Friend A: "OMG A JAPANESE GAEM. HNNGGGGGG"
Friend B: "Oh cool, Idolmaster"
Classmate: "Is that the game where you manage idols?"

Yeah, the people close to me are pretty cool with it. It's just a game, after all.

Honestly, my mom and dad don't care that much...as long as I stay out of trouble and get good grades, I can have my own interests. My middle brother likes Idolmaster too because he tends to like what I like. I am pretty sensitive to other people's ideas and don't like to show off a lot of my interests to others. My brother doesn't mind, though. My youngest brother has no idea, really.

My revoltech Miki stands infront of my 00 Gundam models. When asked by my parents or anyone else non-otaku, I just say she from the same series. =3

[ninjamitsuki]

My mom actually really likes the idolm@ster now, we play office mode together, though she's kind of clueless and says some stupid things, mostly about how certain song idol combinations don't deserve first place even though standings have nothing to do with the song and has to do with the skill and luck of the player, as well as the stats.

My mom really does like Makoto, actually, that's her favorite. She says Makoto has the most talent.

[y2j.kj]

my mom don't care about it, my dad hate anything and everything related to anime or cartoons, the only one that knows i like idolm@ster is my sister and  the only thing she likes about idolm@ster Are my fraulein revoltechs  aside of that i'm the only fan in my family.

[Pizzaman]

When I got my Im@s credit card, I thought it was a smart idea to show it to my mom since after all, it is a credit card.

My mom managed to guess Makoto was my favourite.

And she told me she likes Azusa.

lol

My dad occasionally (and I mean very infrequently) listens to iM@S music from my collection on his CD player.  If I weren't interested in iM@S then he'd never have heard of it, but he'd give any kind of music a chance.  He was surprised hearing Ami and Mami on the first CD I lent him: Master Artist 05.  I had to explain that it's not all music.  My mom says that I should learn Japanese so I can enjoy the music more.  I don't get to see my sister very often so I actually don't remember what she thinks of idolmaster, lol.  I do remember letting her browse through my iPod, though, and she liked the iM@S album art.
