I want to get into im@s music but I'm not sure where to start. I have a place where I can buy a lot of different compilation albums but I'm not sure which one to get. I see ones called The IdolM@ster 765 Pro All Stars+ Greatest Best and there are 3 different versions of it. Along with a ton of other albums. Any suggestions on where I should start?

Those are pretty good collections, though that's assuming you do want 765 Pro (original im@s, anime was in 2011) and not Cinderella Girls (mobile games, anime was in 2015) which is what you're more likely to have heard for 'im@s music' in recent years.

The Greatest Best albums are from 2013 and they cover the more popular 765 Pro songs up to that time.

A bit of both original im@s and Cinderella girls. I think I've heard some of the older stuff before but I'm pretty new to Cinderella Girls.

The channel we idolwatch in plays imas MVs 24/7 when it's not otherwise in use (with some vocaloid MVs mixed in), maybe check some of that out to see what you're after.

Though really, jp media prices are insane, my advice is to listen in other ways and support the franchise by spending your money on other things.

I got two of those 2x15 albums for 3000 yen each so they're pretty reasonable but prices for single releases do tend to be more problematic, at least when new.

I was hoping to the shift the thread into becoming a general idol thread if there was enough activity :ssh:

Though not enough of us are up to date on aikatsu or pripara to really justify it I guess.

I haven't even looked at the new pripara yet. I understand it has a rice cooker.

I also have like, half a week to go through a month and a half of aikatsu, to be caught up for what should be the christmastree felling episode.

Can't wait~

Maybe people should watch and post about the Aikatsu’s writer’s other work, Digimon Universe Apple Monsters.

It has 470 idols.

I'm sure they have a healthy thread, it's fine.

The real answer is most of us are already in the discord at this point :ssh:

I was planning to make a post about older idol shows to watch that I recommendPRETTY RHYTHM: RAINBOW LIVE at some point too, but I'm lazy. And the list wouldn't have too many outliers that aren't already known like Macross and stuff anyways.RAINBOW LIVE!!!!!

On the face of it, it sounds amazing. It's idols, but on ice skates. Plus the usual weird nonsense of pripara.From various people's cherry-picking on twitter, it's even more

On the other hand,



Kinda a hard sell. Aren't there like, four or five different series by now?

What if we do an Aikatsu/Appmon streaming block, I say while staring suggestively at Allarion.

Appmon does have a lot of opening recap that could be somewhat nontrivial to remove but eh.

Rainbow Live is its own continuity, so you can ignore all prior series as well as all later series. It's fully self-contained and the story is surprisingly super tight. Every episode contributes something to the plot but it never feels like it's rushing you through the story either, developing every character and giving them room to breathe and be goofy. It's one of the reasons I like it a lot just because it somehow made all 51 episodes matter and I would not skip any of them.
