“Gakuen Idolmaster” will have “Hanaumi Yume” available as a playable character from 11:00 on June 1st along with other “SSR idols”

It has been decided that a new idol, Hanami Yume, will be implemented in the smartphone idol training simulation game “Gakuen Idolmaster.”

◆Hanaumi Yume is now playable!
Hanami Yume is a former athlete who is full of energy and has outstanding physical abilities.

She loves her older sister, Saki Hanami, and while she respects her from the bottom of her heart, she also sees her as a rival and her biggest goal. Although she was admitted to the school as an alternate student, thanks to Saki's dedicated support, she is able to blossom into an idol.

Until now, Yume Hanaumi has only appeared in the story and as a support card, but she will soon be playable! She will be available from 11:00 on Saturday, June 1st.

Along with the announcement of the implementation of Yume Hanami, an introductory PV and a solo song “The Rolling Riceball” were released. The lyrics and music were written by Takafumi Sato, and the arrangement was by Akimichi Handa.

◆There's also a new gacha featuring SSR Hanami Yume!
To coincide with the implementation of Hanami Yume, a new gacha will be held from 11:00 on Saturday, June 1st.

The featured idols include the SSR produced idol “[The Rolling Riceball]Hanami Yume,” the SSR support card “I hope it doesn't rise yet!”, the SR produced idol “[Idol First Time!]Hanami Yume,” and the SR support card “Snap Kimepo.”

SSR Hanami Yume's plan is “Logic”, and she will be an idol who uses Genki.

“Gakuen Idolmaster” is currently available for smartphones as a free-to-play game with item-based purchase system.
