What is the meaning of that ring…? Producers whose brains are destroyed one after another in the new series of “Shanimas” that depicts the “future of IF” – Adult Amana and future Hinana appear and the discussion progresses

The new enza version of “THE IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors (Shanimas)” was announced at “[LIVE Streaming]THE IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors Live Broadcast ~6th Anniversary SP! ~[THE IDOLM@STER]” distributed on April 16, 2024. The Gasha series “Parallel Collection” is attracting attention.

◆What is “Paracolle”?
The “Para Collection” announced this time is a new Gasha series with the theme of “The Future of Idols”, and the “Future of IF” that may be possible is depicted through illustrations and communication.

In the second training session, which can be done by obtaining multiple cards of the same idol, you will receive a “letter from a future idol,” and in the fourth session, the idol will read the letter out loud.

A total of 28 idols are scheduled to appear in this Gasha, and two idols will be added once a month. This time, “Osaki Amana” and “Ichikawa Hinana” appear as the first part, and illustrations showing how they have grown into adults and a part of the “letter from a future idol” have been released.

◆Producers whose brains are destroyed by “IF Future”
Various thoughts and opinions about the “future of IF” are being posted on SNS regarding the “Para Collection” illustrations. Also, it seems that more and more producers (a general term for fans) are having their brains destroyed by the sight of “adult Amana” drinking with her special someone, and “college student Hinana” without the members of Nocturne.

Speaking of “the future of IF”, Day 1 of the 5th live “THE IDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS 5thLIVE If I_wings.” was held at Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium in March 2023.

It became a hot topic as it was made to look like 283 Production, to which the idols belong, was going to disappear.

An illustration of Alstroemeria’s Amana Osaki, now an adult, wearing a ring on her right index finger and drinking with someone while holding a cocktail in her hand, has been released. It is said that the meaning of a ring changes depending on where you wear it, and the index finger is said to be worn when you want to increase your ability to take action toward the realization of your desires.

This also destroys my brain as I wonder if it’s for a job other than being an idol, who is that “important person” and whether I’m wearing it to act aggressively toward that person. It seems that the producer has also appeared.

Noctile’s Hinana Ichikawa is shown with friends in an illustration that gives her the impression of being a college student. The absence of fellow unit members and childhood friends Toru Asakura, Maruka Higuchi, and Koito Fukumaru has caused mixed feelings, such as “What happened to the four of them?” and “Are they continuing to be idols?” I am.

In addition, there are other idols that have not been announced this time, such as Kaho Komiya of After School Climax Girls, what kind of adult she has grown into since the 6th grade of elementary school, and Kiriko Yutani of Antica, who has been mentioned in past scenarios and communications to become a doctor. Various posts have been made on X (formerly Twitter) about the possible “future of IF” with the tag “#Shanimasparacolle future predictions.”

The enza version of “Shanimas” is now available for smartphones and PCs. The new Gasha series “Parallel Collection” will be held soon.
