Y'know considering how popular this series was when it launched on the xb360 years ago it's surprising that they never tried to localize the series. Fun gameplay and music which was the major selling point of the series.

You're hitting one of three buttons as the line reaches the edge of the circle. Then there's a few mini-games to increase the stats of an idol. While I have no doubts that this is enough for the idol otaku, do you honestly think that constitutes "fun"? I played SP because I was curious and after about an hour all I could say was "That's it?"

It works very well for the girls cuteness and the music but there's no way in hell it would have much interest outside of its targeted niche audience.

I find it fun, colorful, and I also find the strategy interesting and challenging. Of course, I'm sure this wouldn't appeal to the western market where guns and blood are all the rage. -_- I don't miss it.
