…and because I suck at this, I accidentally hid the old poll. Raze should be able to fix it though.
The question is simple: we’re considering working on the iDOLM@STER special’s that came with Shiny Festa, but we need your opinion on how to release it.
I ask this because this is the quality you’re looking at for now, and it might be annoying to read and watch in full screen. But hey, some people like it.
So just go on and vote, we’ll tally them up later and figure out what we’re doing. I’ll probably make a decision sometime next week (or earlier).

And if you don’t care, don’t vote.
I've added a new poll

iDOLM@STER Special Web Preview
Heeeeeeeello fans!
It’s been much too long! Has everyone else been patiently waiting for the iM@S special? We’re all excited to work on iDOLM@STER again.
Today we’re bringing you a 33 second web preview for the special itself! We hope you all enjoy it. We will not be releasing a download link (unless YouTube decides to take the video down).
Please stay tuned for the special, when we will release our complete batch for iDOLM@STER (sadly!)

It says END up there, but we all know it’s not really the end. Every time you clear a route, you can start a new one with all your old stuff and money anyways. Which means iDOLM@STER will never end. I hear there’ll be an EP26 coming with the BDs, too.
Go show your favorite idol your love on the new poll! As of the time of writing for this post, Miki and Chihaya are dominating everyone else, which is exactly how it should be. Bwahaha.
Here are some words from the dedicated ladies who brought you your idols every week!
TruePsyche (TL/Editing/QC): Thanks to Raze and Daiz for hosting this weird-ass three-way joint with a no-name like myself. Thanks to Kusion for bringing my attention to the opportunity and setting it up. It was a blast to get back into subbing after years of inactivity for a series I really enjoyed. Most of all, I hope newcomers to and long-time lovers of iDOLM@STER alike enjoyed the first real serialized rendition of this wonderful bundle of love!
Kusion (Timing/TS – odd-numbered eps/Kara/QC): When I read that iDOLM@STER was getting an anime adaptation, I just had to drag TruePsyche back into fansubbing. It’s been a blast working on the show every week, and I hope everyone had as much fun watching as we did working on it. If there’s ever a season two or a movie adaptation, you can bet I’ll drag Psy back in for another round! I hope you’re all lady.
Daiz (TS – even-numbered eps/Track 2 changes/Encode/Release): It’s been one hell of a ride with this show for the past half a year, and I gotta say I’ve really enjoyed it. I got the short end of the stick typesetting the even episodes (since they turned out to be a lot heavier ts-wise on average), but with Kusion doing the timing, songs and QC I guess it evens out in the end. It was a fun show, and I hope you all enjoyed it too. Also, shout to the People In The Threads (you know who you are), I had a great time with you all throughout the show. Thank you, and thank you again!
With indispensable assistance from these gentlemen:
ar (release/distro, TS – ep 10, kara – ep11, encoding – ep11, support): Makoto-sama is my prince <3
Raze (TLC and QC eps1-2+25, occasional advice): Miki told me she loves me nano.
commander`A (timing – eps12&15) stinx.
Bob64 (TS – ep 10)
And a bonus! There was a complaint a long time ago that it’s hard to look up inserts etc. because we translate the song names in our releases. Well, we didn’t change our policy, so sorry about that. Instead, I started keeping track myself. So here’s the full list of every song that’s been used in iM@S, organized by ep, along with translated names, romaji, and original names.

Christmas has come a few weeks early! Yum! Note the double entendre.
This episode is brought to you by cake resale proceeds and worn-out wallets. How the hell do you wear a hole in a coin pocket, anyway?
With Jupiter out of the way and Chihaya’s emo turned into “500 Ways to Say Thank You,” iDOLM@STER is pretty void of drama. OR IS IT? It looks like the girls have all-new foes to compete with. Do you know who?
Also, continuing in the vein of recent eps, there’s a boatload of songs, including an anime original insert and an anime original ending! They’re pretty catchy, too.

Thanks for waiting, everyone. I’m back and 15lbs heavier. The pumpkin pie content of my blood is through the roof, too.
The OP, CHANGE!!!! has been updated with official lyrics. Yes, more wtf’s await you. I hope you’re all lady for this one…
A bit of trivia for this week’s Kotori ep! Did you know that, in the original game, Kotori only appeared at the VERY end when you received the scorecard detailing your playthru performance? She developed SUCH a fan following, she was eventually given her own image songs, CDs, appearances in games, and now is virtually an idol herself. What a rise to stardom.
Also! We have yet another self-cameo in this ep. We haven’t seen them in some ten or so eps. They don’t appear in person, but there’s a brief shot of the three of them on a poster/flier… More brownie points/cookies/pie/awesomeness to whoever finds them!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! To those of you who haven’t read the earlier post: our only Thursday show, IDOLM@STER, has been delayed until tomorrow. The translator will be spending the day with his family, while I, Kusion, stay on the Internet, avoiding contact with other human life! I was a bit too lazy to fix the height on the image, so deal with it.
No, instead of feasting on the food and getting drunk, I, Kusion, will be PLAYING video games. What could make it better? I’m going to live stream the event! No, just kidding. But I am going to bore everyone while I occasionally update this post to talk, or rant, about what I’m playing or doing in real life.
So, let’s begin with 11:30AM: I’m watching the fucking IDOLM@STER stream.
That was a great episode! Those who like Boku ha Tomodachi ga Sukunai can watch that if they’d like, but for now, it is 12:00PM, and I should help with the cooking.
Ah, all done with cooking! Now I can return to actually doing something meaningful. Time to open up SC2! And the time is, 12:50PM.
I’m done playing some SC2 for now, time to break and do nothing! 2:40PM. Actually, no, I’m going to go play some BF3.
Okay, all done eating and drinking for the time being. I should have to go to another house soon and grab some food there, too, but for now I’m good. It’s 5:16PM.
Battlefield 3 time, then some SC2. 6:47PM.
Also, thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I know what I’ll be getting, and will clear the comments now!
