To further the recent social justice wave about equality in videogames, the next idolmaster is going to feature male idols.  This is clearly a huge step towards equality………..or it could just be a way to make more money.

Idolmaster: Side M will be a free to play card game for iOS devices.  It works very similar to idolmaster proper in that you must train your idols and prepare them to sell out big shows, just that they are dudes this time.  So far only a japanese release is planned, and I certainly don’t expect that to change, but we will keep you posted either way.
