Played the tutorial on an actual arcade machine at the Namco arcade building in Osaka during my trip to Japan, and as someone who's a huge fan of the franchise, it's an indescribable experience playing the game that started it all on its original hardware. Seeing (and interacting with) Haruka's original design with brown eyes and hearing the absurdly catchy soundtrack coming out of the actual machine are sights and sounds I won't ever forget. I even got my own Producer cards now, so I can truly call myself a real iDOLM@STER fan and HarukaP! Giving it 5 stars just because of its importance and this experience alone.
getting to play this and having my own yukiho card is top five best experiences in my life tier.
it is very expensive though, I'll probably get through it slowly
