Im@s Corner: THE iDOLM@STER Live for You!

Live for You! is the Idolm@ster franchise's very first spinoff. Originally released on February 28, 2008, it was also bundled with the console Idolm@ster remake as "THE iDOLM@STER Twins" roughly a year later.

Ranging away from the original titles' gameplay mechanic, players are now in command of an Idolm@ster fan who got promoted to "Special Producer" due to the regular Producer from the original games supposidely missing. As a SP, the player has the job to coordinate the idols' concert performances by means of both practice and on-stage rhythm game trials. Events are randomly picked according to the conversations held with one of the game's selectable idols, while everything else about the execution (song, clothing, dances, performance) is all up to the Special Producer's choices.

Trumping the console remake of the original Idolm@ster title on its launch week, Live for You! boasts a huge DLC lineup between clothing and songs, with prominent focus to brand new inclusions and the idols' signature songs from the MASTER ARTIST album series. As THE iDOLM@STER 2 got released, the price of all the downloadable content has been halved.

All the versions of Taiko arcades between 11 and 12 have seen the first appearance of two of the Live for You! songs, with the third one coming out with the Must Songs games.
