The Idolmaster (Wakaru)

The Idolmaster (officially stylised as THE iDOLM@STER) is a Japanese rhythm video game series created by Namco. Originally released as an arcade game in 2005, the franchise had grown to numerous ports, sequels and spin-offs across multiple video game consoles. The series includes a variety of other media such as anime, printed media, audio dramas, a Korean drama, and radio shows.

With the moderate success of the initial Idolmaster anime outside of Japan upon its release, the games of the franchise were localised in the west, starting with The Idolmaster 2. Later spinoffs, such as Million Live! and Cinderella Girls, also saw localisations, with mobile games such as Theatre Days and Starlight Stage seeing localisations in English a year after its initial JP release alongside Korean and Chinese.
