Game Overview

The Gakuen Idolm@ster game launched in Japan in May 2024. Players take on the role of a producer, nurturing and developing idol talents from the Hatsuboshi Gakuen idol training school. Initially featuring nine idols, the game has expanded its roster with new characters introduced through various events.

Key Features:
