The Cinderella Idols
THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls U149 is another entry in the long-running iDOLM@STER series. Like every other series, a producer works with a team of idols to reach stardom. This producer works with a group of girls in the Third Entertainment Division, which is also called “U149” due to all of the girls being of a shorter stature. They’re meant to work in an abandoned storage office of their unnamed production company, but that doesn’t dampen their spirits.
These Cinderella girls are divided into three different types. Momoka Sakurai and Koharu Koga are considered the “Cute” type of girls, Arisu Tachibana, Haru Yuuki, and Chie Sasaki are considered “Cool” compared to the others, and Miria Akagi, Risa Matoba, Kaoru Ryuzaki, and Nina Ichihara are apparently filled with “Passion.” They were left idle in the abandoned office, training and waiting for their debut, but they heard nothing from the company until their new producer arrived, someone who was also on the short side, and who was completely new to the idol scene. However, their cuteness, coolness, and their passion should give them the edge they need to truly become Cinderella girls.
