In part one I posted videos of my favorite song+dance combos from THE IDOLM@STER series of games. Part two are my favorites from 2nd Vision (THE IDOLM@STER 2 onward).
MEGARE!
I seem to have a thing for hyper songs about being an idol. MEGARE! was my favorite of the new IDOLM@STER 2 launch songs. Having five positions in a song definitely brought new depth to IDOLM@STER’s dance routines.
Little Match Girl
Little Match Girl is another one of my top favorite IDOLM@STER songs and dances of all time. To add to the hype, the preview for this song also showed the first glimpse of the Starry costumes.
Jibun REST@RT
Jibun REST@RT just has the feeling of “epic big group song”… so much so that it doesn’t even have any solos. But it’s my favorite group song from the IDOLM@STER anime. It has that “fly to the stars” kind of feeling. This song also means a lot to me because it’s the song Angel Hearts used when we competed with Starry. The lyrics are very appropriate.
Marionette no Kokoro
Miki always gets great songs, but Marionette no Kokoro is my favorite. I like to sing this one at karaoke too. It’s a powerful song.
We Have A Dream
Again with the hyper songs about being an idol. I’ve been obsessed with this song since it was introduced in LIVE in SLOT! I even tried learning the dance off videos from LIVE in SLOT, but the quality was too poor. I wished for years that this song would be added to the main series, and finally my wish has come true! Not only that, but with amazing sparkly rainbow outfits to match!
DREAM
DREAM is a great song, and I’m really glad they added it to the game. I won’t be sad if The AI and LOST are never added, DREAM was by far the best of the three songs. Now I can finally hear Chihaya sing this song. ♥
99 Nights
99 Nights feels very different from the past IDOLM@STER songs. It’s more mature and has a very cool dance. I love it and hope they continue this trend.
Shizuka na Yoru ni Negai wo
I think Shizuka na Yoru ni Negai wo is probably the prettiest song in all of IDOLM@STER. It reminds me of Melted Snow, which is my favorite CD-only IDOLM@STER song. The outfits are lovely too. This song makes me so happy, I’ll even take it as a replacement for Melted Snow.
Those are my top picks for main series group songs+dances. In part three I’ll post my favorite CD-only, rival, and DLC idol songs!
