You might remember the early 2014 announcement of Idolm@ster SideM, a spin-off of the idol franchise with male characters, starring in a Cinderella Girls style Mobage social game. Well, the March launch did not go well and after it couldn't scale to the demand, it was soon taken offline for extended maintenance. After re-opening preregistration July 7th, it's now back, though at least initially with a capped limit on logins.
Veterans of the fictional all-male idol unit 961 Production (Shota Mitarai, Amagase Toma and Hokuto Ijuin) join the guys of 315 Production for the extensive cast. The Persona series' Shuji Sogabe provides character designs for the doctors, lawyers, Self-Defence Forces officers and part-time workers turned male idols.
