The Idolm@ster Shiny Colors: Song for Prism Has Launched in Japan

Bandai Namco released The Idolm@ster Shiny Colors: Song for Prism for PCs and mobile devices in Japan. The company also shared an illustration featuring Mano Sakuragi, Hiori Kazano, and Meguru Hachimiya—the three main idols who also form the Illumination Stars unit—to mark the game’s launch.

Song for Prism is a free-to-play game that combines idol-raising simulation with rhythm gameplay elements. The player will act as the idol producer of 283 (read: Tsubasa) Production who primarily manages the training and performance schedules for the agency’s idols. The rhythm gameplay segment will determine the score and quality of live performances.

Song for Prism features the most recent roster of The Idolm@ster: Shiny Colors, which includes the new units added after the original game’s launch in 2018. While the original Shiny Colors shows the characters in Live2D, Song for Prism features their full 3D models. This game will play in a similar fashion to The Idolm@ster Million Live: Theater Days, which features the extended 765 (read: Namco) Production.

Bandai Namco first revealed Song for Prism in late April 2023. It then opened pre-registrations for mobile devices in July 2023 and held an event for the game at Tokyo Game Show 2023. In October 2023, the company confirmed a PC version of the game and opened its pre-registrations via DMM Games. The PC version requires a minimum CPU of Core i3-4360 / AMD A8-7650K and a minimum GPU of GeForce GTX 750Ti / Radeon RX 250X.

The Idolm@ster Shiny Colors: Song for Prism is available in Japan on iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as PCs via DMM Games.
