THE iDOLM@STER: SideM is the third mobile game spinoff for the ever-popular The iDOLM@STER series. First released to the mobile game platform Mobage on February 7, 2014, the game had some technical difficulties and had to be temporarily shut down. It was put back up on July 17, 2014, then later released in April 2015 to Android phones and May to iOS.What sets this game apart is its surprising subject matter — rather than the cute girls and beautiful ladies of the previous installments, SideM focuses entirely on producing male idols. A playable total of 37 idols was initially included in the game, along with the noteworthy return of previous male idols Jupiter of The iDOLM@STER 2 and Ryo Akizuki of Dearly Stars. Like its sister series Cinderella Girls, the game follows a digital card game format with idols and events taking the form of trainable cards.The series also has several spinoff titles in manga form; in addition to several comic anthologies, they have Dramatic Stage, focusing on DRAMATIC STARS and High×Joker; Struggle Heart, focusing on Beit and THE Kogado; and Wake Atte Mini!, which is a chibi Yonkoma.In October 2017, the series received its own adaptation to air in the Fall 2017 anime season, and an adaptation of Wakeatte Mini! in 2018. Within the same timeframe as the former, it got a Rhythm Game spinoff of its own: THE iDOLM@STER: SideM: Live on St@ge!, featuring all idols present to date in the game and debuting Jupiter's new outfits. LoS ended its run in 2021, after 3 years of service.At the series' 2021 PRODUCER MEETING event, the replacement game for LoS, The iDOLM@STER SideM GROWING STARS, was revealed. Further information about the game was released on June 9, 2021, where Bandai Namco would reveal a return to 2D sprite work and a completely new idol group, C.FIRST. Unfortunately, the original game's content ground to a halt later that year, with its last major event being in October and C.FIRST not being brought over. It finally closed down on January 5, 2023, after over 7 years. The successor game would follow not even six months later, with its services ending in July of the same year. Luckily, franchise fans have a sort of salvation in the form of an archive; the SideM official website has all previous events and communes and adds new content every so often relating to concerts or album releases.A stage play focusing on GROWING STARS was announced for a June 2022 release.

All There in the Manual: Comes in the form of Magazines, short publications that come with an idol's cards. They're comics that often reveal part of an idol's backstory, what they were doing during an event, and how they mesh with their group.

Comic-Book Time: Both games run into the same problem of having content that'd ordinarily span multiple years in-universe but have none of the characters age. It's very noticeable in birthday messages, with them commenting on items or events that happened at least one real-time year back but they haven't gotten older at all.

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: "Drive A Live", the main theme of the game, has a version done by each unit. The anniversary themes, "Beyond the Dream" and "PRIDE STAR", are likewise performed by everyone but also are done by each type of idol in the game. "Reason!" is done by all 19 of the main idols that appear in the anime.

Adaptational Villainy: "The Legend of King Arthur from Another World" has Percival (one of the more loyal Knights of the Round) and Galahad (canonically the purest of the Knights) turn into antagonistic figures selfishly competing for the Holy Grail. Merlin also turns out to be the Big Bad of the movie, tricking Arthur into doing the heavy lifting so he can grab at the Grail himself. However, it should be noted that their attitudes are a result of the world and its story being distorted.

Aborted Arc: The Super Live Fes event and its corresponding popularity pollnote which gives the top 5 front billing and special cards for the in-game event, and the top 2 SRs is all but extinct after Live Fes 2016. They do have the outfit return, albeit for the first Tales of Asteria collaboration. The Idol Discovery Project members haven't been seen since their initial event and heard of since Legenders' ST@RTING LINE CD. Will they ever be accepted into 315? Will they take up another agency? And are they even still trying? The world may never know...The boys saw a couple of references in events towards the end of the games' lives, with Shiraishi getting a mention in 2021 and Mimasaka showing up in 2022, but nothing further has been done.

comment
Vocal Dissonance: Just like the other mobile rhythm games, the vocalist and their position are locked per song, which can result in this depending on what idol is placed where. This can get especially glaring with Welcome Happykira Park! since all its singers are kids and sound like it, while many of the other idols are at least in their older teens.

Costume Porn: Unlike the girls' mobile rhythm games, where the default outfit is uniform with only minor differences, the default outfits in this game are the ones each respective idol uses in their unit, so there's a lot of outfit variety from the get-go. The DRAMA ON ST@GE series especially has some elaborate outfits.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: After Kazuki's former voice actor, Tatsuya Tokutake, stepped down, a commu addressed the voice change in the form of a book Ryo read when he was younger. The book centered around three heroes who were loyal to each other and fought together; he still holds fond memories of it and wants to find it again.

Phantom Thief: The aptly named "Phantom Thieves Chat Noir" event places Mofumofuen and Beit into the roles of thieves for one event. DRAMATIC STARS' "Moon Night no Sei ni Shite" is about a phantom thief who becomes the subject of a woman's love. LoS has Valentine's event which features Teru, Kamiya, Seiji, and Shiro as chocolate thieves for the 2019 celebration.

Meaningful Name: 315 Production can be read as "Saikou Production", which can mean "Best" or "Ultimate" Production. Aside from being a pun on President Saitou's name, it fits in neatly with the themes of passion that its idols exhibit. By titling themselves as the best, it gives the company a goal to put in enough effort to live up to that name.

invokedCasting Gag: There are quite a few of their film roles that make reference to some aspect of their pasts: Minori in "The Budding Flower of Virtue" is a high-ranking yakuza, which fits as he was a delinquent in his youth. Amehiko's casting as Abe-no-Seimei is one in and out of the universe; he comes from a family of exorcists (albeit he's on the cleaning side of it), and he is already based on Abe-no-Seimei as part of his group's historical figures motif. The King Arthur production they put on casts Pierre in the starring role, appropriately highlighting Pierre's own royal heritage.

Wedding Episode: Like its sister series, SideM does a June wedding event every year. The style of wedding differs slightly; while it's mostly western style, THE Kogado participated with a Shinto-styled wedding. In addition, there are only two exceptions to the usual formula of dressing as a groom for a shoot: 2019's event features HighxJoker as the band playing at a real wedding, and for 2020 Saki is dressed as a bride to keep consistent with his feminine outfits.

The Real Spoofbusters: Ghost Snipers and its corresponding Drama CD are very much based on the lovable ghost-hunting crew.

comment
Aerith and Bob: A lot of foreign set productions feature characters like this. For example, the "Phantom Thieves Chat Noir" event is a mixed bag for their characters' names; from kind of normal (Leonard Fitzgerald, Albert Hawkwind) to downright ridiculous (Rabita Queenfield, Michael Kerovale).

The Theme Park Version: The "WORLD TRE@SURE" series has a group of idols representing a given country, usually stripping down to just one or two traits for it (e.g. Spain is primarily dancing and bullfighting, France has a The Three Musketeers theme, America is adventure and exploration, etc.)

Show Within a Show: As idols, all of them have to do some acting work at some point or another. Many of the game events feature their preparing for the performances, as well as give a glimpse into the show they're doing. You can catch them for a limited time in theater315. A few of the series the idols do get multiple installments. Cybernetics Wars was seen all the way to completion, but other stories like the Spectacle Heroes film series or TV shows like Beast Chronicle or Nozomira Melody get focus too.

comment
Fun with Acronyms: In Cybernetics Wars, the main human force is the K.G.D. The acronym looks similar to how "Kogadou" is pronounced in syllables, referencing THE Kogadou, who originated the K.G.D. roles in the first Cybernetics Wars movie.

Crossover
 THE iDOLM@STER: SideM (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf
comment
Crossover: One with Granblue Fantasy in 2015. Teru, Tsubasa, and Kaoru were transported onto the Grancypher (with Elemental Powers to boot), and Pierre was a summon that could send out hordes of tiny frogs. In SideM, Pierre got a special card that dressed him up as Sierokarte, while Lancelot made a guest appearance. The event reran in 2018. With Tales of Asteria during 2017 and 2019. While Shiki and Touma ended up in the Tales universe as optional bosses and cards, Yuri Lowell and Luke von Fabre got special edition cards for SideM. Yuusuke and Minori got to wear the guest stars' clothes for a card, while Kyousuke and the rest of Beit got to wear some of the clothes from the other participants on Asteria's side. In the 2019 event, Zaveid and Raven are the Tales representatives who show up in-game, while Ren and Jiro (who swap with them), Genbu, Rei, and Hayato are the SideM participants. Teru and Hideo take Shiki and Touma's place as the Asteria boss fights and cards. 2023 began one with, of all things, Fitness Boxing Switch. Unsurprisingly Taiga is the primary focus of the collaboration.
