## Overview

Million Live! introduces 37 idols, working alongside the 13 idols of 765 Production; Theater Days adds two more idols and a secretary.[4] Compared to other spin-offs in the Idolmaster series, the new idols work with and interact with the idols of 765. The general design and much of the visual elements are done by A-1 Pictures, the same animation studio responsible for animating several of the Idolmaster anime series.[2]

## Gameplay

### GREE game

The game was a free-to-play idol raising simulator in which the player, as the producer, trained idols and sent them to work in various locations while also making the idols 765 Production Theater bigger.[2] The idols were obtained through collecting cards ranked by rarity and divided into three categories, Vocal, Dance, and Visual, with a fourth category, Ex, reserved for special cards. Leveling up the cards made the idols stronger, with the higher rarities being able to reach higher levels.

The feature phone version was discontinued on February 2, 2016; a desktop client was released within the same month.[5] The GREE game was shut down on March 19, 2018.[3]

### Theater Days

A second game titled Idolmaster Million Live! Theater Days was released June 29, 2017 for Android and iOS platforms. It is a rhythm game and simulation game, with 3D models, periodically released story missions, and multiple choice 'communication' events with the idols in the vein of the original Idolmaster games.[6]

Many of the cards from the original game are reused in Theater Days.

## Media

### Animations

Seven of the idols from Million Live are featured in the anime film The Idolmaster Movie: Beyond the Brilliant Future!.[7]

Special animation videos for Million Live have been created as anniversary celebrations. The first animation, a video featuring Mirai Kasuga, was created for the first anniversary and streamed in-game.[8] A 10-minute animation was created for its fourth anniversary.[9] Both were animated by A-1 Pictures.

### TV Anime

An anime television series adaptation of Million Live! was announced during the Theater Days 3rd anniversary livestream in July 2020.[10] It is animated by Shirogumi and directed by Shinya Watada, with series composition and script by Yōichi Katō, and character designs for animation by Tetsuya Ishii and Kaori Tsuta.[11] The series premiered on October 8, 2023, TV Tokyo and other networks.[12] Before its television airing, the series was released theatrically in three parts. The first part was screened from August 18 to September 7; the second part from September 8 to 28; and the third part from September 29 to October 19.[13][14] Crunchyroll streamed the series.[15]

An original video animation (OVA) episode will be released in a Blu-ray Disc on March 27, 2026.[16]
