As The iDOLM@STER franchise becomes more popular, especially after the anime that aired last year, Namco feels the need to make a new game. That game is iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa, which focuses more on the rhythm aspect rather than the managing from the main games. Like the first PSP games, each edition contains different idols and exclusive songs (at least 6 songs are included in all the games). (Image Source)

iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa – First Impressions
Let’s Play The iDOLM@STER 2 – Episode 4, 5 and Finale

A few months back, I have completed recording my Let’s Play of Idolmaster 2. It was a fun ride with trying to get a last-minute “Break” to increase sales for an A for that category. Otherwise, I completely dominated the Idol Academy for the second time with an even higher score.
As seen in the finale, I got the true ending where the producer comes back from America after a year to reunite with the idol he produced. In this case, Miki’s true ending is pretty different, but I won’t spoil the surprise.
With the Let’s Play finally over, what game will I record next? I plan on live streaming another play through of Idolmaster 2 during Thanksgiving Break. Until then, I will announce it when the time comes. As for the next Recorded Let’s Play, it will probably be Tales of Graces F or Atelier Meruru. I will begin recording this after Christmas Break since I will have graduated by then and I need to wait for Grad School acceptance. (Image Source)
So, further ado, here is the remaining episodes:

Let’s Play The iDOLM@STER 2 – Episode 2 (Part IV, V) and 3
Sorry for delaying this post although I uploaded all the videos. I was simply busy with other things along with cutting the video. Besides from that, I’m finally close to finishing the Let’s Play, hopefully by next week. With 13 weeks including the ending left, I’m positive that I will get the true ending for this. Still, there are a still a few things I need to get done such as reviving one of the singles so my music sale total doesn’t look too horrible.
You might notice that Episode 3 – Part 2 are split up into two parts. I ended up failing in one of the harder Song Princess festivals, especially since I’m using a slower song. I kept my failures in just for kicks and giggles. I plan to do that if I do some epic fails in future festivals. Still not sure on doing Vesperia since that one is insanely hard. It depends if I get 5 memory appeals and a Level 16 image level, but we’ll see.
As for the DLC song, it’s “私たちはずっと…でしょう?“ and I really like the dance routines for it. (Image Source)

Let’s Play The iDOLM@STER 2 – Episode 2 – Part I, II and III
It has been a long time… How have you been?
Well, the reasons I held off recording the second half is simple. I couldn’t record the whole Let’s Play during Spring Break because it would stress me out. Also, I soon realized that 480i looked horrible, even with the S-video cables. Therefore, I regroup and got the right tool to make better videos.
So, what I’m doing now? I intend to record the remaining parts each week and hopefully get it done by early July before I spend most of my time playing Pokémon Black. In addition, I bought the Japanese PSN points already, so I can add a DLC song to the mix (and play SP Missing Moon). I won’t tell until the 5th release on what song I will do, but it’s a surprise.
With that, parts 1, 2 and 3 of Episode 2 focus on the weeks following the 2nd song release. Part 3 is a 1-hour episode since I don’t feel like encoding two separate files and upload them. So, enjoy! (Image Source)

Let’s Play The Idolmaster 2 – Extra Episode – Minase Iori – Episode 2 & 3

Since the Hyouka subs will come out a little late, I decided to take the time and finish editing and uploading the final two parts of the Let’s Play of Iori’s Extra Episode in Idolmaster 2. As you see in the two videos, the festivals get harder.
From my experience, beating Jupiter was in fact easier to beat than the second round because of the fact that you have an amulet that increases the rate of voltage received. With five memory appeals, you can basically prevent them from doing a burst appeal. So I hope you enjoyed my play through of it.
As for the normal Let’s Play, I will resume recording late next week. I will buy PSN points so I can download a DLC song for the recording. As for the song I will pick, it’s a surprise. (Image Source)

Let’s Play The Idolmaster 2 – Extra Episode – Minase Iori – Episode 1
We’re finally back, now in 720p since I finally got an HD Capture device. Therefore, I decided to the Extra Episode, which is an addition for the Playstation 3 version… Hopefully this should give a taste for people who own the 360 version of how this story goes.
As promised, I’m redoing Iori’s arc again, because I like Kugimiya Rie tsunderes. (Image Source)

Let’s Play The iDOLM@STER 2 – Episode 1, Second Half (Parts VIII and IX)

If you haven’t seen Ryuuguu Komachi crushing my Idol unit, I suggest watching part 6 and 7 before you continue. Besides from that, I try to recover from the defeat by choosing a new song and shortly after, do the usual routines. (Image Source)

Let’s Play The iDOLM@STER 2 – Episode 1, Second Half (Parts VI and VII)
Before you watch part VI and VII, you should have watched the entirety of the first half of Episode 1. Otherwise, you won’t understand what will go on in the story. With that, I focus more on improving the image levels and do more promotions to increase the memory stock. At week 10, we face off against Ryuuguu Komachi. (Image Source)

Let’s Play The iDOLM@STER 2 – Episode 1 – Part 1
While I have uploaded first three parts during Spring Break, I suppose I should make a post about my third Let’s Play since I have uploaded the first half of Episode 1. In this Let’s Play, I will play a game that some people in the blogosphere saw the Anime of last year. Yes, it’s The iDOLM@STER, rather one of the 2nd vision games in the franchise. (Image Source)

Getting into the Producers Chair – Experiences of Producing for 765 Production

Before I begin posting my Let’s Play, I have always wanted to write more about my experiences in general about The iDOLM@STER in regards to the Anime and the Games. As you know, the anime like the game has important life lessons such as interacting with others, solving problems and teamwork that gives us the fabulous dancing and singing. (Image Source)
