Idolmaster SideM ~315 Special’ that was held at the Ani On Station Akihabara flagship store. March 15 can be written as 3/15, so it was a good day for an announcement from Idolmaster SideM‘s entertainment company ‘315 Productions’.

The first season of the new year is just one month away from its finale. It was a great start with many amazing titles that made these past months worth the extra hours we put in front of our sets. Now, it is time for the cold wind to give way to the pink hues of the sakura tree and for the Winter 2018 season to give the anime baton to Spring 2018.
