Inch by inch, the plot advances. Buckets of positivity this ep, by the way.
[spoiler show=”Semi-spoiler”]So, I have two important character route foreshadow screencaps in mind. One is displayed above. This one was as obvious as a jawbreaker in a bag of jellybeans (yes, I just made up that expression now) but the other wasn’t. Did you spot it?Disclaimer: It’s quite possible there are other story-related moments that I’m not including. If there were, I didn’t care enough about whichever character was involved to consider them. You should have enough information to know who the other screencap moment is about.[/spoiler]
We apologize to fans of Daiz’ Track Two of Non-Terms-of-Addressedness, but there will be only one track (with terms of address) with the release. When Daiz wakes up, he may or may not decide to amend it with another track, but we weren’t going to delay releasing for that.
arEdit: I’ve added patches for v2’s of both releases which add the second subtitle track without honorifics.

And we’re caught up! Thanks for your patience. We’ll see some new faces, some old faces, and have an all-around good time with a couple of great songs (J’s song not included).
Gonna preempt comments on Takane’s first few scenes: lol. Keep the comments PG-13, please. We promote viewing as a family, after all.
Daiz note: I have to say that typesetting this episode was much more pleasing when I had some additional helping hands to work with. Thanks, __ar and Bob64.

Part 2 of Catch-Up Theater!
The twins don’t get very much love. Not even an insert song. Haruka, however, was cute for the very first time ever (imho). Time to petition A-1 for more pudding ghosts.
Ep10 is the Super Back to the Return of I Know What You Did Last Typesetting Hell 3 Turbo, but we’ll have it out as soon as we can.

Welp, I resisted for as long as I could, but we finally updated the OP to the official lyrics. It is with great sadness that we have replaced “I’m ready!” with “I’m lady!”, along with some minor adjustments. My sincerest apologies to all for subjecting you to this.
I’m not sorry in the least, however, for this episode full of Azusa-and-Miki-in-wedding-dress, Makoto-in-tuxedo goodness. The ep is a clusterfuck of wth, but never has wth looked so good while telling fortunes or been so utterly lost while helping grandmothers cross the street.
Yes, feel free to cry for us once you count up the number of insert songs and anime-originals. We accept tears, blood, cash donations, and cookies. Warm cookies, though. None of that cold shit, please.
Quick note re: that guy I’m sure you’re all going to wonder about. He is never, ever introduced by name. Unless that is his name. Since he is referred to by the same name both in print and in person, we decided that his status passes for his name. After all, Azusa’s (and in several instances, the other idols’) friend Tomomi’s name is written as 友美, so why can’t other people be referred to by their roles?! The characters in Tomomi’s name are, literally, “friend” and “beauty,” a very common element in a girl’s name, used in this case to stress the name’s generic aspect. The name Tomomi, however, is a perfectly common name, though usually written with different kanji.
Finally, since I personally didn’t know about this: The ED, Hanikami! First Bite is a reference to the traditional first bites of the wedding cake taken by the bride and groom at the reception, fed to one another.
Post-incredibly-long delay notes: Psy here. Regardless of circumstances, we’ve made you wait a very, very long time for these episodes. m(_ _)m Gomennasai. We’ll most likely have everything released by some time tomorrow. Enjoy the eps, and once again, our apologies for the delays.
iM@S 08 and 09 Delayed
See title.
EP8 – Everything is done except typesetting which is currently resting at Daiz (the typesetter) who is currently moving to a new dwelling, and will be doing so for the next few days. Once he has settled into his new place we’ll get this out. Our apologies for the delays.
EP9 – We’re going very slow with this, considering 8 isn’t even done yet. Considering I (Kusion) have had a long day at work, I don’t feel like staying up all night to wait for my turn. We’ll get this out tomorrow afternoon (if 8 has been released of course). Until then, keep bugging Daiz for updates on ep8, and don’t bug us for ep9! …Not yet, at least.
Please understand and try to be patient and it’ll be done when it’s done. Stop asking when it’ll be released or if we have dropped it. If it was dropped we would have said something.
I asked Kusion to put a post up earlier but he didn’t and since I don’t care about iM@S (I still <3 you though kuz) enjoy this awesome sketch of Mafuyu from Seizon (courtesy of Pixiv) instead.

Yayoi-cchi! How is it possible to be so adorable? She’s a parent’s dream come true.
Fans of the older idols, you can sit down. This week’s ep takes things at a slower pace with a focus on three of the office’s younger idols. In fact, none of the other girls even have lines!
Bonus points for anyone who catches Haruka’s ??? face in this ep.
See you next week!

Sorry for the delay, folks. When sudden illness strikes a small team, momentum suffers.
I think I’m running out of steam on witty(?) release copy. Plot advances, people sing, some other people dance. Yukiho digs a hole, Haruka doesn’t fall flat on her face, Hibiki doesn’t interpret the hamster language, Producer-san screws up… Takane continues to be wonderful comedic relief. Oh, and Ryuuguu Komachi plays a minor part somewhere in there.
Some things that wouldn’t fit in TL notes:
Ryuuguu Komachi (????): literally means “Beauties from the Palace of the Dragon King.” Ryuuguu Castle itself is a reference to the underwater castle that appears in the folk tale of Urashima Tarou, which you can wiki for more information (including the ‘treasure box’ that shows up in Kotori’s daydream).
Minase (??), Miura (??), Futami (??): Chief mentions during an interview that the three Ryuuguu members’ family names involve water, which gave Ritsuko the idea to use name Ryuuguu Komachi. The characters in their family names mean, respectively: ?? water shoal, ?? three inlet, and ?? twin sea. Haruka, who was indignant at being left out, bears the family name Amami (?? ), which uses the characters for heaven and sea.
A message from Daiz, the encoder and typesetter of the episode: My personal apologies for the delay. Sickness and typesetting hell just isn’t a very good combination.
THE iDOLM@STER – 05

Summer! The beach! Swimsuits! So why does it look like Producer-san isn’t enjoying himself at all? I guess it hurts that more than 3/4 of the girls he’s with are probably about 10 years younger than he is. Oh well. Doesn’t stop this from being a fun ep. You can expect water guns, yukatas, hot springs, and yes, even pororis!
And for those of you who’ve been thinking “this show really doesn’t follow much of the game’s plot… it’s really just about introducing the idols!”, look no further. Shit speeds up.
Enjoy two BRAND NEW, never-before-heard songs and a free-standing kara’d MV in a little while.

A pretty depressing approach to the spotlight on one of my personal favorite characters. I think we’re going to need a season 2, or possibly an entire spin-off series to deal with the plot points that were raised and left unresolved in this ep.
I’d say “imagine how I’m going to be when Miki’s ep comes,” except that… well, Miki doesn’t have much backstory to leave unresolved ^^;
Due to repeated issues with kfx lag, multiple new songs per episode and the standard UTW policy to leave things soft-subbed, we’re removing kfx from this release and future releases. Older eps will be fixed in v2’s. Two tracks as always.
In any case, enjoy the frog costumes and damnable cameramen. See you next week!
arEdit: Update: Apparently the fonts didn’t attend the first muxing due to RL issues, but we, being the gentlemen that we are, organized a second muxing that they were able to attend.

We promised you faster, and this week, we actually deliver! Thanks to proper alignment of various cosmic bodies and efficient utilization of the jet stream, we managed to reduce downtime by 180%! Thanks, GEICO!
Forewarning: Fans of iM@S, the insert song is not what you think it is. That is all.
P.S.:: Due to a lot of feedback, the fancy karaoke effects have been removed in the second subtitle track in favor of a simpler style. So if you were having lag issues with the OP/ED, give the second track a try!
