Animethon will host THE IDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS, as part of Animethon MusicFes.
THE IDOLM@STER (Pronounced “Idol Master”) began as an idol production arcade game in July 2005, featuring 10 idols. While resembling similar “bishoujo” genre games, THE IDOLM@STER features the unique characteristic where you play as the “Producer”, and players work towards the success of the characters’ careers until they become “Top Idol”. The series has since developed to span over 300 idol characters across multiple unique brands, several console, handheld, and mobile games, multiple anime series, and a massive music catalog with music produced by many renowned creators and collaborators. Recently in 2025, the series celebrated its 20th anniversary, and various projects continue to be launched in celebration of the franchise.
The 5th brand of the series, THE IDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS began in 2018 as a web browser game and has expanded into various multimedia including the mobile game THE IDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS Song for Prism (2023), and a TV Anime Series in 2024.
Animethon will be the first appearance of THE IDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS in North America!
THE IDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS will be performing on Saturday, August 8th as part of the Animethon MusicFes Lineup. Other content such as Talk Panel and Autograph session will take place throughout the weekend. Please refer to the official website for more information.
