From THE iDOLM@STER: CINDERELLA GIRLS, it's Riamu Yumemi for her birthday! Well, almost. Her birthday's actually the 12th, but the moment I realised that would make it Friday the 13th this week, I decided to combine an old tradition of drawing Koume Shirasaka on Friday the 13th with Riamu. Don't worry, Riamu! Koume's just in costume for the occasion, Jason's not really out there!
.... Do you hear that? Is that chi chi chi ha ha ha or ki ki ki ma ma ma? Nah, must just be the wind.
It's a two-fer! I figured their birthdays were so close that I'd bundle them together on Cohost, so here's two of my favourite iDOLM@STER characters, Kaho Komiya from Shiny Colors and Arisu Tachibana from Cinderella Girls! Kaho is a pretty obvious me-core character- she's bear, can't you see?- but Arisu really gew on me during the Cinderella Girls anime last year. She's a little bossy and curt with people, but she's doing her best. Plus, she makes some truly amazing faces. I considered dropping the extra faces from this year's illustration, but no, they had to stay, they're too important.
It's April 14th in Japan right now, which means it's Miria Akagi's birthday from THE iDOLM@STER: CINDERELLA GIRLS, so here she is in MS Paint form! Look, April has a lot of iM@S and Love Live birthdays, and that's a good excuse to draw 'em. This is also one of my favourite outfits, on the original artwork the colours are really bright and bold, you love to see it.
From THE iDOLM@STER: CINDERELLA GIRLS, it's Momoka Sakurai's birthday so here she is doing a curtsy, as expected of a lady! She was a big favourite in the U149 anime- her episode centered around her doing a bungee jump, and also had a sequence where she really played up the refined lady bit for the camera, saying one of her hobbies was "watching the peasants from my limousine". Pretty good. Still, for a lady, her hair's always a bit frizzy and messy, which is a cute little touch.
