Those of you who hated cameraman-san, rejoice! Cameraman-san has been upgraded to Producer-san.  Replacing him is… cameraman-san! Who, thankfully, has spoken lines and is treated like a totally normal character.
Was anyone out there expecting LOTS of iM@S music? Hope you were, because today’s release introduces all sorts of goodness. We can probably expect the same from every week here on out, too.
We apologize for the delay. We had some encoding issues come up. Next week should be faster!
Once again: subtitle track 1 (default) will once again be UTW style with honorifics and common terms in japanese, whereas track 2 will be the more localized version with no honorifics, courtesy of Daiz.
See you next week!

Thanks for waiting!  UTW, Underwater and I, your guest translator, are proud to present to you THE iDOLM@STER.  New and improved, now with no giant robots! Our glorious, unified tag, [Chibiki], is a simple amalgam of three of our favorite idols: Chihaya, Hibiki and Miki (ordered to make the name sound good – Miki rules all our hearts!).

If you’ve been following Kusion’s storm of iM@S vids for the past several months, you know what’s coming. Singing, dancing, and a greater variety of idols than you can shake a stick at. While we’ve all been apprehensive as to the quality of A-1 Productions’ work, I personally think it’s safe to say that this is one of the finer releases this season. Viewers of NicoNico rated it #1 out of everything that came out!

Big thanks go to Kusion, the other leader of this project and wrangler of the Whiteboard of Doom (you’ll see), Daiz for working all day with us while sick, Raze for guiding us along all the while, and __ar for words of wisdom and magic fixes along the way.  Next week we’ll be even faster, now that we have everything in line and the team worked out!

As an added bonus! Daiz has prepared a sub track 2 for viewers who prefer their subs with as little untranslated Japanese as possible. Track 1 will be UTW style with common terms and titles included.

Enjoy the music, enjoy the surprises, enjoy the ride.  We’re looking forward to experiencing The iDOLM@STER with you!
