A Japan-only, yet import-friendly series of raising-sim games, where you can train little girls (like in Princess Maker games) to become the next big name idol in the music industry.

This one comes in three editions, not unlike Pokémon: Perfect Sun, Wandering Star, and Missing Moon.

Miscellaneous tidbits that are interesting enough to point out here.
Notes

Debug Mode

Hmmm...
To do:

Show this in action.

Atleast a picture will do.

By some odd twist of fate, Namco Bandai left an extensive Debug mode in the game, allowing you to practice lessons at your leisure, showing Debug Info on-screen, Sound Test and Movie Viewers.

It also has a model editor, like in Tales of Symphonia, but much more extensive, where you can create custom poses. Needless to say, people abused this feature, which culminated to a polemic similar to the Hot Coffee incident.

These various debugging features can be enabled with the use of CWCheat codes, depending on the version. Open Album Mode, select the character, select video mode, then enable the cheats. Play the video, then press L+R+Select to go to the Flow menu and enter the Debug Mode.

Refer to the Notes for more details.

Anti-Piracy

This game checks for the presence of the PSP's flash0 to determine if the firmware is genuine when accessing Office Mode or DLC. If this check fails, the game will display this following error message:

THEiDOLM@STERSP-AntiPiracyScreen.png

Could not detect legitimate system software.
This product can only be guaranteed to work with legitimate system software.


In addition, pressing the button at this screen will restart the game.
