Idolmaster seiyuu demos Bandai Namco dancing game
Bandai Namco’s upcoming Wii game “Happy Dance Collection” – or more likely to be remembered as “that dancing game with Nana-chan and iM@S songs in it” amongst us seiyuu otaku – is a game that I’ve wrote about before. Suddenly out of the blue the game was announced just a few weeks ago to be coming out on the 23rd this month, and thanks to last week’s Tokyo Game Show Bandai Namco had decided that this game should get some promotion. What we have here is a short video of seiyuu Imai Asami (long hair) – who plays Kisaragi Chihaya in the Idolmaster games, and Hasegawa Akiko (short hair) – who plays Hoshii Miki, trying out the famous Idolmaster song “Go My Way” in the game. (The original video also had them talking about and playing the PSP Idolmaster game before this, but for the interest of the dance game I’ve edited that out).
It’s a shame that thus far I haven’t been able to find any info on the 4 original songs by Nana-chan – the stage they did for this game at TGS which was shown on TV live didn’t demo any of the Nana-chan songs as they were more interested in showing the mainstream Jpop songs, and the official website is still quite bare. At least from the videos I’ve seen the game actually looks a bit more promising than I had previously thought – yes I was expecting this game to be shovelware, despite the fact that I was going to fork over yens just for the Nana-chan and iM@S song anyway. At least now I can buy it with just a bit more confidence, I think.

I was very excited when I first heard about this (I love rhythm games).. then the track list came out (quite long time ago, actually) and I knew it will only have 24 songs in total (including 4 Nana’s and ONE -wtf- iM@S).
CD is a must, but not sure about the game. Better save the $ for the coming 3 iM@S PSP.

iM@S SP doesn’t come out until January 22nd next year, plenty of time to save up money for that. :P

There’s no way I’m playing this game since I don’t own a WII, so I’m looking forward to some kind of audio rip of Mizuki’s songs…although to be honest, I have this feeling that they are going to be nothing like her solo work and therefore, suck

Heard about this site from my friend. He pointed me here and told me I’d find what I need. He was right! I got all the questions I had, answered. Didn’t even take long to find it. Love the fact that you made it so easy for people like me. More power
