Japanese Idols and Subculture / 日本文化の補足
In Japan, idol culture has developed uniquely for both real-life
idols and 2D idols. In the realm of 2D idols, series like THE
IDOLM@STER and Love Live! are particularly famous.
THE IDOLM@STER series, which debuted as an arcade game in
2005, has since expanded into a wide range of media,
including console games, social games, anime, manga, and
music CDs.
As producers, we engage in various activities, known as
'producing,' to guide our idols to become top stars. We play
games, buy CDs, attend live concerts, and sometimes even
create fan works or MAD videos to post on Nico Nico Douga.
By the way, the idol I produce in the Cinderella Girls series is
Shin Sato. BE MY BABY! Afufun!
