New Idolm@ster Game Is All Dudes

Bandai Namco’s Idolm@ster series has players manage a group of idols, so far only female idols. Enter Idolm@ster: Side M, which turns the table with male idols. These guys come from all walks of life – doctors, lawyers, JSDF, and freeters. For whatever reason all of them want to become idols. That’s where you, a producer at 315 Productions, comes in.

Part of your day is spent scouting new idols and the other is and the other part is training them to become superstars. That includes changing their costumes.

As you may have guessed, Idolm@ster: Side M is a free to play game with a card system. Mobage, the company that published Final Fantasy Brigade, will release the game in Japan.
