Of course it's some shitty mobile game. It's a shame, Namdai will never make this into a fully-fledged game. They wouldn't want to risk their precious Power Male iM@S audience.

Even though this game has totally needed to exist for ages now. (And not one based on UtaPri, either.)

It's very possible it will make squillions, convincing execs that a full game is warranted and worth the risk. Basing business decisions solely on the fear that a vocal minority of their male customer base will throw a tantrum is not good practice.

Are those at least 2 characters I see trapping in the video thumbnail? Looks like Ryo Akizuki has some new competition.

This is true, but it is also true that just about every major Japanese developer follows this practice nowadays. So uh.

Not gonna hold my breath for a male iM@S game.
