It’s time for /r/anime’s favorite game!
It’s time to play Genki, HanaKana, or Trap!!!
The fun game where you guess who is the happiest, who has the best voice, and who is hiding a package.
Today, we are introduced to three girls from 876Pro. In this picture, from left to right, they are Eri, Ryo, and Ai (disregard the subs).
Now, using your vast knowledge, try to deduce who is the genki, who is played by Hana Kanazawa, and who has a penis! Your only resource is Episode 10. Ready, set, GO!

Regardless of what you chose, I’ll refer to them as female for now.
All the idols from 876Pro appear in The IDOLM@STER Dearly Stars games (DS for short, which means, yes, this was for the Nintendo DS). Each idol has their own story about them if you take their route.
Ai Hidaka is the daughter of a former top idol. There is intense pressure for her to succeed but she just couldn’t make it into any other agency until 876Pro took her in.
Eri Mizutani is a hikikomori and famous on the net. She was eventually encouraged to debut in real life.
Ryo is actually the cousin of Ritsuko, making her Ryo Akizuki. Ritsuko wanted Ryo to debut with 765Pro, but Ryo refused because it would mean being pushed around by Ritsuko, so she decided to debut with 876Pro instead.
Take a moment to fill out a quick survey done by /u/lzhiren in our quest to figure out who is best girl (and other things).
Note: This is a different survey, so do this one even if you did the last one.
For those of you who need help remembering the names of the idols, we have character cards to learn a bit more about them!

Once again, I encourage everybody to find the full yet legal versions of these songs. Though if you need help sailing the high seas, I sell compasses.
Please refrain from discussing about Jupiter for now. I plan to give them a proper introduction later.
The insert song during the relay race.
L.O.B.M. stands for Love Organized Boost Music. Honestly, I’ve used this for workout music before, and it really gets me pumped.
I like how it’s used in the anime. The anime insert song is longer than the game version (though still shorter than the album version). Even though it’s supposed to be a really happy song, it got me really emotional the way the scene was directed.
It’s also apparently tradition to perform this in bikinis, so here’s a link for that. I just chose the version I did for the main one because I like the wide shot with no jump cuts.
Full version 1 (shown in the anime)
Full version 2 (slightly different instrumentation)
Which one do you like better?
The ED of this episode.
There’s going to be many downers ahead, in this anime and in life in general. I think this is an important message for the idols to just power through with a smile. There will be many hardships ahead, especially in the next few episodes. Let’s hope the unity stays intact.
”HELLO!!” - Dearly Stars - Lyrics
This is the image song of the idols from 876Pro. Though there isn’t a lot to say about them because they pretty much get shafted after their games, I thought it’d be nice to show you what they have done.
