The Idolm@ster Gravure For You (Main and Cinderella Girls) – Final Impressions
Unless you are a big Idolmaster fan, which I am, most people probably have not heard about Gravure For You. This is a bonus mini game that comes bundled with the Blu-ray packs that allows you to take pictures of idols wearing different outfits with different poses. There are nine different volumes for the main series and Cinderella Girls. With that, I will share my overall thoughts on these mini games, mainly focusing more on the Cinderella Girls Gravure For You, which introduces more features.

The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Episode 15 – The Idol Dream Shattered, or is it?
From the start, I was right about Executive Director Mishiro taking the sleazy businesswoman route and screwing over the girls’ dreams for profits.

The Idolmaster turns 10 Years Old – Reflecting back on my Experiences with the Franchise
As mentioned in my summer preview, the Idolmaster franchise will finally have its 10th anniversary on July 26th, the date when the arcade version of the game was first released.

With that, I want to celebrate the occasion by reviewing two games from the franchise, movie and share a personal reflection on the franchise as a whole.
To start things off, I want to reflect on my experiences with the franchise and why it’s special to me, especially from a person that has a musical background.
