Those three idols, who are they? I assume they're fanmades or something along those lines. Strange thing is, they look like ive seen them somewhere before... I guess thats why its bugging me so much.
Any guesses are much abliged, because i'm one f those people who, if they're wondering about something, can not forget. It bugs me.

i think it's an arcade reference...
something angel...right?
sorry, I'm sure someone on here knows all of it.

They're the Maou Angel trio; some rival unit from the iM@S Relations manga.
The unit name's probably a tribute to the name of one of the strongest npc units in arcadeM@S.

The 3 members were voiced by lesser (un)known seiyuu's in the drama.

Mi-Mi-Minori Chihara was a seiyuu for one of them? These idols need to be in the game. Now. Or at least on a CD. With Yumeko and Cineria and Ai's Mom.

... Please? T-T

We don't need more rivals. Although Minori Chihara is amazing.

... With the amount of people going against the new male rivals and Ryuuguu Komachi, I wouldn't find it odd for Bandai to go to "old" rivals.

 And Minori Chihara is amazing enough to warrent inclusion.

You're quite right, we don't need more. But that doesn't mean some of us can't want more rivals though~

They're quite an interesting bunch they are. But I wanna know.... Which one of them got Minori Chihara's voice? I would assume that it's the quiet looking girl, but you never know.

I haven't listened to the dramas because those things're out of print but I think the characters'll sound kind of like this.
Dark, quiet looking girl: Chihara Minori; Nagato Yuki'ish I guess
Goth loli: Asumi Kana; she pretty much only does younger(looking) characters and sounds pretty much the same in those roles.
Evil looking girl: Konno Hiromi; something along the lines of Akira from Lucky Star I guess

According to the wiki...

Reika Tougouji (Hiromi Konno), Rin Asahina (Kana Asumi), Tomomi Sanjou (Minori Chihara)

... Tomomi should come back. I won't pretend to care about the other two, though they sounds interesting to me. Though... The loli looks kinda like Yayoi. Tomomi looks unique for an idol, though.

[Himoto]

... Tomomi should come back.

I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. And not just because Tomomi is voiced by Minori Chihara. But that is a big part of it. <.<; She actually looks cool. Reika might make an interesting addition to 961, but Rin... well. She looks like some messed up hybrid of Yayoi and Cineria with black hair to me. ~_~

Maybe this thread should get renamed or something. They do technically exist after all.

[Neko-P]

Aha! I have followers! ^_^ Perhaps Reika and Tomomi can become another Rival unit, with maybe Yumeko or Cineria with them(probably the former)? That leaves Ai and Eri for 876(Assuming that Ryo has already debuted as a guy if he exists in iDOLM@STER 2)... So maybe Eri convinced Cineria to debut live?

 Rin, though, does look like that. Her fang helps her unique-ness slightly, but the pig-tails and loli-ness sort of detract from her being unique...

 And I still love Tomomi~ Too bad she isn't around anymore... WHY DO THIS TO US, BANDAI NAMCO? Tempt us with Minori Chihara idols that never show up...

[Himoto]

Reika, Tomomi and Yumeko. Sounds like a rival team that works for me. Rin can turn into a hikikomori and become a net idol. That way, we don't have to see her perform~ I really don't care for her. D: Maybe if she had a ponytail instead...

Now that I think about it, wasn't there a manga page posted up somewhere in these forums with the three of the girls? I vaguely remember seeing them before this thread started. Something about Reika saying that they'll "beating that wretched Chihaya Kisaragi!" and their unit's name is based off of one of the strongest idol units in the actual game.

[Neko-P]

Well, if I remember correctly, the official Manga of the game was called "Relations", which is also the subtitle of the Drama CD the three get their seiyuu from...

... Now I want to read the manga to find out more about Tomomi~ >.<

[Himoto]

I want to, and I don't want to at the same time. Because I have a good feeling that I won't like Tomomi after I read into her more. She'll probably turn out to have an undesirable personality... D:

But thats why we have our imaginations, I guess. xD

[Neko-P]

Well, she looks to be an expy (Or, in normal-people/non-TVTroper speak, a copy) of Minami from Lucky Star... Without being a pettanko, of course.
