The 2nd Vision generation has seen the rise of several Anime series and OVA/movies about the idols featured in the Idolm@ster games between 2010 and 2015. Among these, Taiko games hold songs coming from three sources in particular: THE iDOLM@STER (July 2011-October 2012), THE IDOLM@STER MOVIE Kagayaki no Mukougawa e! (THE IDOLM@STER MOVIE 輝きの向こう側へ!; January 25, 2014), THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls (January 2015-February 2016) and THE iDOLM@STER: SideM (February 2017). All the shows are made in order to put the focus on the idols as a whole, instead of focusing on only one of them at a time like in the games.The first show is an Anime series transposition of the world described in the Idolm@ster 2 videogame, consisting of 2 regular seasons of 13 episodes each, a special episode split in 3 parts among the Idolm@ster SHINY FESTA games and the movie Kagayaki no Mukougawa e! (lit. 'Beyond the Brilliant Future!'). While the 765 Pro studio idols are the main stars, the later Cinderella Girls Anime's two 13-episode seasons are about the idols who made their debut in the titular mobile game. The series was made with most of the voiced idols from the game (including some poll fan-favorites in the mix),
Most of the songs from the Anime series and movies on Taiko have been categorized as Anime tracks at first, until the genre global unification occurred on the White Version Taiko arcade firmware which grouped all the songs in the Game Music genre. Save for the Cinderella Girls songs, all the songs have been featured in Must Songs Blue Album.
