With the latest The iDOLM@STER anime series debuting last Friday, dedicated fans of the franchise have identified some of the locations featured in The iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls anime.
Here are some of the comparison images which have surfaced so far:
According to Japanese blog Yaraon, fans started to arrive at the locations which were identified just 2 hours of the first episode’s broadcast. Keep in mind it the first episode was broadcasted at midnight on Tokyo MX, which means fans ventured outside at around 2am just to visit the locations.
Here’s a visual of the anime series:
The iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls is a mobile social game developed by Mobage and published by Bandai Namco Games. The game involves the player to interact with other players, where they need to perform various tasks. The game features a total of 100 idols to be collected, who are represented as trading cards in the game. The game acts out like other social games where you will need to use a form of stamina to do a task – where it is refilled over time. The game has been reported to earn 1 Billion Yen (~ 10 Million USD) per month from in-game purchases of items and idols, and has over 4 million users as of April this year. A live concert of the game with all the voice actresses, Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls 1st Live Wonderful M@gic!!, was held at the Maihama Amphi Theater in Chiba Prefecture where the anime adaptation was announced last year.
The iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls synopsis from Haruhichan:
