1/10 Kisaragi Chihaya & Ganaha Hibiki by Wave

And the last figure review (for now, since I have 6 more figures to review) is a double one, covering 1/10 Kisaragi Chihaya and 1/10 Ganaha Hibiki by Wave, released in November and January respectively under the Beach Queens figure line.

Chihaya sculpt is by Clumsy Zero, who also sculpted Beach Queen Azusa.
Unlike the rest of the Beach Queens THE iDOLM@STER characters, Chihaya uses the swimsuit from the second game. Is not a big deal in Chihaya because she hardly changed from the first game to the second (even keeping the same bust size despite aging one year), but it can be a bit of a problem if Wave keeps releasing iM@S characters (the already released Miki, Azusa and Haruka have all their iM@S 1 designs, and most of the characters that are left are quite different in their iM@S 2 appearance...)

It includes two faces, one smiling and one ashamed. This is the smiling one.

And this is the ashamed. Note that both arms can be moved a little.

Side view featuring all the glamour of Miss 72.

Back shot.

Hibiki is sculpted by Abira, who also did Takane figure and Haruka.

Unlike Chihaya that have the problem that is using her newest design, Hibiki (like Takane) uses the same swimsuit in both iDOLM@STER SP and iDOLM@STER 2, so she can represent either continuity.

As usual, it also includes two heads, a winking one...

...and a normal one.

Side view. The only complain that I have is that is too pale! Being Okinawan, Hibiki is the only iM@S girl that is tanned and is not reflected in the figure.

IDOLM@STER SPECIAL LIVE Final

"THE IDOLM@STER SPECIAL LIVE" event at Playstation Home is finally over.

I managed to go to all 25 live concerts, each one different beacuse the interludes that appeared on the screen was different each time, and featured at one point or another all the main cast (except Hibiki, Takane and Miki). For some reason, if you take an in-game photo to the screen appears in black, so no photos, sorry.

Sadly, the songs featured were only 3 ("THE IDOLM@STER", "Colorful Days" and "Shiny Smile") repeated over and over during all the event.

At certain points, a little heart mark appeared on screen and if the crowd jumped enough times, the idol did an appeal pose.

Also, if you buy and wear an special clothing set, doing specific actions made encouragement symbols to appear.

There was 3 different sets, one per girl, and you can only made the symbols if the girl on stage matched the set you were wearing.

Special effects also appeared if the crowd cheered enough.

The iM@S fan community in Japan is very dedicated, and it was nice to act as a team (in the photo I was the third Home Haruka from the right)

After the last live, an extra live was announced in the display. It was an encore featuring:

All the 3 girls!

The song was, as expected, "THE IDOLM@STER".

Triple appeal!

For attending to the last live, you got the promotional standee for your personal space.

THE IDOLM@STER SPECIAL LIVE Update

Today was the second batch of IdolM@ster live concerts, this time with Yukiho as the main character.

Each live concert is sightly different, this time the songs were "Shiny Smile" and "THE IDOLM@STER", and in the 4th and 7th live Haruka and Yukiho danced one of the songs as a duo.

This time I used the in-game camera to take pictures. Is a bit laggy and the background screen appears in black, but is way cleaner than a regular photo.

Haruka appeal!

Usually there are a bunch of Home Haruka's, this time I was alone.

Yukiho sang most of the times.

Yukiho appeal!

Haruka and Yukiho as a duo unit.

Tomorrow at 20:00, 22:00 and 24:00 (GMT+9) is the turn of Chihaya!

EDIT: Just a few pics from Sunday concerts (today I took the photos in 16:9 format).

Chihaya!

Today's song were "Colorful Days" and "THE IDOLM@STER" plus "Shiny Smile" in a encore in the 8th live performed by Yukiho and Haruka.

For today's last song Yukiho and Chihaya performed as a duo.
