This summer, the arcade game THE iDOLM@STER TOURS is getting a major update, and to celebrate, an event featuring cast members from THE IDOLM@STER series will be held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City's Fountain Square (Toshima Ward, Tokyo), along with a public live stream.
New Series Launch and New Game Mode Added to THE iDOLM@STER TOURS

About THE iDOLM@STER TOURS
THE iDOLM@STER TOURS is an "idol live production game" built around the concept of producing your own "special live." As producer, players choose costumes, songs, and stage direction — sometimes directing the live stage performance itself — to help the idols shine on stage.
