THE IDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls is a derivative of THE IDOLM@STER. At almost the same time as THE IDOLM@STER, different personalities’ are making the story of “Cinderella”

THE IDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls was first a mobile phone game. Players become producer, not that of THE IDOLM@STER, and produce young idols and make them top idols!

At the animation in 2015, the first half was about “New Generations”, a trio group composed by Uzuki Shimamura, Shibuya Rin and Honda Mio and its growth. Three of them learn the ideal, reality, difficulty and how fun it is to be an “idol”! I was most impressed of their first live… They recognize that being idol is not only fun, and are troubled thinking “what is idol?” “why idols exist?”, which touched me. Every personality differs in enthusiasm and will, but they end up deciding “still we want to continue being idol!”. Their strong will is fantastic.

At the latter half, new members join to the story. “LOVE LAIKA” of Anastasia and Nitta Minami, “Triad Primus” of Karen Houjou, Nao Kamiya, Shibuya Rin, etc. many teams are settled and they organize festivals and lives! I was playing the game before watching the animation, but I didn’t think they were thinking so seriously about “what is idol? What is being myself?”. Especially Uzuki-Chan was troubled about this almost until the last number of animation. Although her charm point is her smile, I couldn’t see it and it made me sad… But when she decided to go to the stage and showed everyone her smile, I was moved for real! I recognized that I love watching the personalities happy to sing songs!

You can learn what is idol and what is being yourself, with different members of THE IDOLM@STER. Of course, the music is nice too. My favorite is “Susume ☆ Otome”. You can play this song at the appli THE IDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls, so please try and play it!
