Does everyone still remeber how they discovered iM@S? I was just over in the new anime thread and ikuto-sama was talking about how she did, and I got all nostalgic ~_~
I discovered iM@S when I was looking through the Katamari Damacy soundtrack, and I found Danketsu. It sounded cute, so when I heard it was based on another series, I sought it out.
-
I first saw iDOLM@STER on TV, on a channel that once showed G4TV program re-runs. I think it was G4TV's. The precise show I saw it on was "Cinematech: Nocturnal Emissions".
.....Yeah. When I saw those designs and singing and dancing, I fell in love.
After that, I sought more knowledge about iDOLM@STER. I searched for videos, then more info, until eventually I found the forum, back when it was still (fairly) young. And the rest is in history.
Ah, the good old days......
-
I discovered iM@S after watching the AOU Amusement Expo '04 trailer for the arcade version, when I realized the character designer was the same that did the characters for Lunar games.

iM@S back then barely resembles the home versions...

Same way I first learned about the idolmaster. I remember back in 2007 when I first saw idolm@ster on this show on G4TV called "Cinematech". I wanted to know more about the game so I started watching videos on youtube and I have been a fan of it since.
-
On youtube there was a compilation video in the Japan section that had a bunch of random songs that people were liking at the time. Stuff like Sosei no Aquarion and those IOSYS songs. But one of those songs was this fan-made remix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPmhsoEncmQ) that really caught my eye. It took a while before I made the connection that it was related to Idolm@ster, and I thought it was originally a song in the game. So I had downloaded every ounce of music I could find related to the game thinking I'd just run into it overtime. In the process I started liking the other songs I found and just began liking the game despite having no idea about it.
I didn't have the money for it at the time, so I just told myself if it ever came out here I'd play it. Or if not, I'd just add it to the list of things to do before I die haha. Didn't expect it'd come out for PSP, actually that was another accident discovering it was coming out for it. When I heard of that, I hesitated in getting it for a second, but it gave me reason to get a PSP earlier than planned. So I ended up getting the game and playing the hell out of it.
-
It all started with Vocaloid. I was surfing youtube for Vocaloid when I came across this:

Then I saw some related videos and the rest is history.
-
Saw a vid of Go My Way. At least, I think.. I don't remember.
I remember downloading all of the PVs from the Japanese 360 store before the game even came out.
-
Heartcatch Precure 2nd ending debuted. I youtubed it and found this. It all began here for me.

-
I saw iM@S DLC for Ace Combat 6. I fell in love with it, bought them all (Except the 765Pro pack) and looked for more info online, which eventually lead me here.
-
Started browsing NicoDouga, and guess what was popular there.
First MAD I ran into was Kotoko's Princess Bride.
-
A video on youtube of Go My Way! with Yayoi.
I know I'm not the only one who shares this experience.
-
I was searching around YouTube and came across it.
I think it was a Haruka/Iori/Miki group.
-
If I remember correctly it was on youtube, when I was looking for a new source of music and one of the video links was a video of GO MY WAY. Then, google some images and I ended up here.
-
My first encounter...
I was searching for Wii games, then I found this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-tRK9T9fdM&feature=related
Then, I got curious about that only game music and search for that Idolm@ster. The first video I saw was that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpIAmsoS6gE
Well... of course, there's more im@s songs that I like so much. I played Taiko no Tatsujin Wii and DS. And then... I started to search for more. That's it.
-
Played GO MY WAY!! in Taiko no Tatsujin DS, got very curious about this particularly catchy song, saw it comes from THE iDOLM@STER (THE iDOLM@STER yori) and did a quick google search.
Saw some videos about it, found some more songs, and fell in love
-
My first encounter was a Nico m@d video on youtube of Haruka's "Daisuki!" cover.
Probably explains why I'm a huge Haruka fan
A video on youtube of Go My Way! with Yayoi.
I know I'm not the only one who shares this experience.
Yep. Related videos. It's madness.
-
Mine's an odd story.
I used to play the game Space Channel Five a lot when I went over to a friend of my dad's house, so on a whim I looked up a playthrough of it. Towards the end, there was a comment that said "If you like this, check out iDOLM@STER" or something to that effect. I did and, well, I got hooked.
-
Ah, this is going to be a bit hard to remember, I do remember that it was through nico nico videos on Youtube. I just don't remember which one exactly.
Actually, I think it might have been that NicoNico Douga Medley where I first heard of it. Ami/Mami's version of Agent would be my first encounter with Idolm@ster in that case. Then it went all down/uphill from there.
-
I bought my Japanese 360 to play Blue Dragon and Onechanbara, and was looking for some other Japan only 360 titles.
And here appeared THE iDOLM@STER
-
A friend of mine made references to it in a freeware game called GeneRally with certain tracks he made.
Initially, I wasn't into it at all, then I read something on Azusa's profile... :~)
-
I was looking on youtube for videos of Miku Hatsune. I found one of her singing go my way, which lead me to an all-star version of go my way, which lead me to Chihaya singing Positive, which lead me to Ami singing positive, and it all kind of blossomed from there.
-
Initially, I wasn't into it at all, then I read something on Azusa's profile... :~)
I wonder what it is ::)
First time I saw XBOX 360 cover of iM@S in wikipedia I was, like, read a description of someone and point to a random girl and say "So she is this?" and such
Now they're all on the top off my head
-
It must have been about a year or so ago (since "Half Life Full Life Consequences: Free Man" isn't that far behind it in my favorites).
I can barely even remember how I got to it, but I found a video of Mami performing "relations" with what I'm assuming are what you guys call "appeals" left in. I liked the song, faved the video, then forgot about it for a couple months. (Turns out it has nearly 830,000 views now)
http://www.youtube.com/v/zsTvnwbqGqc?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0
A while later, I found Iori, Mami, and Miki performing Do-Dai (again, I can't remember exactly how I found it).
http://www.youtube.com/v/hxmmfopVTTc?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0
Again, liked it, faved, then forgot about it.
Then I got a random message from OCRemix's Youtube account linking to this...
http://www.youtube.com/v/5C942mWgbOc?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0
Then I got interested and started looking things up. Azusa became one of my favorite idols, "Tonari ni" became my absolute favorite Idolmaster song, and I started getting addicted to the music. The sad things is, I will probably never find a clear, full recording of Eminence's performance of "Tonari ni...". :'(
-
I really just was looking on a YouTube video on Rie Kugimiya's roles and one of them had her as Iori, then I looked into it and one thing lead to another and all of a sudden I was kinda hooked when I listened to Azusa's songs as I loved her songs and her singing voice being a singer myself.
-
I was looking up Ace Combat Zero videos on Youtube when I stumbled across a video that had AC zero and Idolmaster in a badass mix.
I think it was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xf3Sxvww2A
My curiosity setting in, I looked up the idolmaster and found this site.
-
Okay, well I mentioned this on my introduction thread, but why not?
... The first time I heard of Idolm@ster was one of those banner ads on Play-Asia. I thought about getting it at the time, but I decided against it, even knowing that it was the only thing keeping the XBox afloat in Japan.
But then, one of my friends mentioned Xenoglossia to me. I thought it was kinda cool/funny that a raiser would be made into an anime about mecha, so I thought I'd give the series a shot. I played the 360 game a bit, and pretty much have been an Azusa fan since.
I got my PSP and my copy of Missing Moon when Chiaki Takahashi came to ACen in 2008. It got signed, among other things, but I think I should've put some ita-sticker on my PSP because... marker doesn't hold well on the back of a PSP. Unfortunately, the SP ita-stickers came out as a magazine gift only after I saw her...
-
I liked Perfume at the time, then I went on Stage6 and stumbled upon Perfume IM@S MADs. The rest is history.
-
I watched Xenoglossia in 2008, and liked it. I then researched more about it, and found out it was based on a popular game series called "The Idolm@ster." A few months later, I got my first im@s game, Im@s SP: Perfect Sun. Yes, Xenoglossia got me into im@s.
-
Yes, Xenoglossia got me into im@s.
I read this and I went, like, what the holy cow?
Since iM@S could get people into Xenoglossia (and possibly into rage because of it), I guess the reverse is true
-
On this one Yume Nikki board someone said that they always associated Cosmos, Kosmos with a certain character in the game and they linked to this vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj-nhoUuTA0
And from there I found the honihoni62 full version [the one with the weird romanization lol]. I'd heard of idolmaster and seen Agent Yoru wo Yuku in the niconico medley so I was interested in it. I remember really liking Relations and listening to it like 10 times a day lol
I found this site by googling lyrics.
-
I saw im@s a few years ago when I looked through this one "Makoto Kikuchi Intro Video" on youtube or something to that extent. Was hooked ever since.
-
How I got into iDolm@ster was I was watching Vocaloid-based videos and I stumbled upon an iDolm@ster video using a Miku song and I decided to look more into it and you can guess the rest.
-
I was initially one of the people who roll their eyes whenever I saw iDOLM@STER, especially when it was covered by American gaming sites who usually associate it with a bad reputation.
Somehow, I given this series a chance. Like Milwaukee12, I saw KOTOKO's "Princess Bride" being covered by Haruka, Yukiho, and Yayoi on Nico Nico Dōga (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm280671). I didn't know who KOTOKO was, but I remember the iDOLM@STER girls. Then I realized it wasn't as bad as these American gaming sites made it out to be. Also I love the dancing, reminds me of myself when I do para para.
I was attracted to Makoto's character, but she wasn't enough to get me into the series. But it took me watching Miki, Yayoi, and Ami singing to "Do-Dai" before I finally decided to jump into the iDOLM@STER bandwagon.
-
Seen a video on YouTube of AGK, linked from a friend.
I seen Yayoi, and I asked to him who's she.
Then, he linked me the Do-dai. I liked it. and I decided to try Im@s SP.
And now here I am.
-
Hmm, I was going to make a new thread, but since this is here....
Anyway, I found im@s out through Ace Combat 6. Saw the skins, thought it was hilarious to fly in planes like these, and found out more.
-
I first played [shiny smile] on Youtube in a local computer shop in late 2006. And this song might be stuck to my brain for now.

-
I think Setsuna and I were talking about it a long time ago, and it was what pushed me to import my 360, Im@s 1 (Platinum Collection) and LFY, around my birthday in '08. It was a present to myself. Been an avid fanboy ever since, trying to pick up any or every version that I could. :)
I think I'm only going to have a hard time trying to get Cinderella Girls. D:
-
The first time I saw im@s, I probably didn't realize it was so. I think I eventually learned of this "idol simulator" game that was floating around, but I never paid it that much attention. Since it was roughly the same time as Hatsune Miku and VOCALOID getting popular, I just lumped them together. Cute-looking virtual idols, no big deal.
Then there was Kumikyoko Nico Nico Douga, that famous 11-minute song that began with Ami/Mami's version of Agent Yoru wo Yuku. http://youtu.be/0-x6R0mKzII Except I still didn't know it was im@s at the time. I only recognized Haruhi and maybe AIR and another.
Xenoglossia I pretty much ignored; I knew it was some sort of spinoff and that people didn't enjoy it that much. It also seemed a lot more fanservicey than I cared for at the time.
It took until episode 4 or 5 of the anime really, lol, before I finally submitted. When the anime came out, I started downloading episodes to put in my queue but did not watch right away. I think I gave the first half of ep1 a chance one evening, but the pacing didn't really grab my attention. Then some weeks later the Internet went out, so I was stuck and decided to watch some things in my queue to pass the time. I gave episode 1 a full go, and by the end I saw a little bit of magic and thought it was cool how that was the way Producer introduced himself. (I think it was also partly friends on IRC talking about the anime a lot, so I felt like I needed to keep up.) I still didn't know everyone's names yet, but it was interesting enough to keep on. So through eps 2, 3, and 4, I learned as much as I could and grew to love it. I needed some new music on my playlist anyway, haha, and there was tons of it available.
So when episode 8 finally came around and Agent Yoru wo Yuku started playing, I was like "I KNOW THIS SONG" and finally, several years late, made that connection. Rest is history, I guess. And I committed further by spending $281 on the PS3 special box. :3
-
let see
I saw Yayoi in Tales of Hearts.
Yea it pretty simple, i thought it was cute so i researched it.
