Bandai Namco had just hosted its "Go to the NEW STAGE! THE IDOLM���STER 3rd ANNIVERSARY LIVE" event yesterday at the Pacifico Yokohama. During the event, Namco plugged its upcoming PSP iteration of the im@s franchise as you would imagine, but the showstopper was when the promo video unveiled a silhouette of 3 mysterious girls.<lj-embed id="30"/>The 3 girls have been revealed to be new idols from 961 Productions, revealed to 765 Production's rival. And yes, that is indeed Hoshii Miki you're seeing there -- who had mysteriously been missing when news of the PSP game was first announced -- and she has apparently be transferred to the rivaled 961 Productions. Her and the other two lassies "Hibiki" (the ponytail chick) and "Takane" (the light-haired girl) will be the rival idols that you must apparently defeat in the game. Miki will be the rival character for THE IDOLM@STER SP Missing Moon (Chihaya, Azusa, Ritsuko), Hibiki will be in THE IDOLM@STER SP Perfect Sun (Haruka, Yayoi, Makoto), and Takane is the one to beat in THE IDOLM@STER SP Wondering Star (Yukiho, Iori, Ami and Mami).Source: Famitsu, Dengeki Online, Bandai Namco BlogNote: I fear I might've gotten the names incorrect for the new girls so those with a better command of the moon language please feel free to chime on any corrections I need to make if any is needed.
