Deep-Pocketed Fans Buy All 13 Idolm@ster Standees

Earlier this year, Twitter.

等身大POP間近に見て、何が凄いってあの描線なんですよ…! じっくり観てショック受けました。絵の原寸を思うともうね、シルエットの完成度は言うに及ばず線の掠れも味になってて柔らかさを感じて。。アニメーターさん本当に凄い&錦織監督素晴らしい。

@shinoji_17 gushed over the character artwork. Noting the "amazing linework," he was shocked when he regarded it closely. "The level of completion of the silhouettes is beyond speech, the blurred lines are tasteful and feel soft... the animators are really great and Director [Atsushi] Nishikori is outstanding."

Meanwhile, @tentyoo organized an early morning IDOLM@STER photo shoot in South Kouenji, an unremarkable Tokyo neighborhood.

@kaneko_hk notes that Priuses can hold all thirteen standees easily.

The photo shoot was held in a store at first, but since it was so cramped......

The store's owner poses with two Yukihos. (No word on where the extra Yukiho came from.)
