The video is on the long side, part 2 of 2 and over six minutes. There are other videos of Mr. Jason wood works as well, so check them out.

Namco's pop idol simulator THE iDOLM@STER originally started out as an arcade game, but has expanded to manga, anime and, of course, home console and portable video games.

How to: Curve Out Life-Size Anime Characters with Chainsaw [Neko Magic]

For many Japanese fans, it is important that voice actresses are as cute as the characters they portray.

Takahashi has done loads of anime voice work as well as lending her vocal talents to fighting game BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, voicing Litchi Faye Ling, and pop idol simulator THE iDOLM@STER, voicing Azusa Miura.

She's also lending her other talents to Sabra (think Maxim for Japan). The 32-year-old voice actress has even claimed to be 23 years old in the mag.

There's a video, too! We recommend only watching the first ten seconds or so — just to see her voice acting in action. We were to freaked out to finish the rest of it. Sorry!

Earlier week the second entry in the Nendorid iDOLM@STER line went on sale with a single set priced at ¥6,000. Here, someone bought 29 sets for a grand total of ¥174,000 (US$1,842).

Maybe this individual is planning on selling them off if they somehow appreciate in value. Or maybe, just maybe, he or she is going to leave them stacked and just stare.

The discovery of this mode turns the PSP game into a make-shift version of adult PC erotic title 3D Custom Girl (not work safe), which lets players do pretty much whatever they like to their custom girl — which usually involves yoga of some sort. Though, we don't remember these positions from our yoga class. Maybe they teach them in the advanced levels.

To bring everyone up to speed: Namco's THE iDOLM@STER is a popstar simulator. It was originally an arcade game, but has since appeared on the Xbox 360 and the PSP.

Dubbed Adultmaster, it follows three women as they try to break in as "idols" and do other stuff. Like dance. And sing. The producers and cast of the film were hardly coy and teased the saucy send-up. Adult video actress Rui Saotome blogged: "Today, we filmed the adult version of an idol training game... I can't say the name of the game, but maybe there are lots of people who know what it is."

However, the adult video producers have suddenly decided not to release the finished film. According to TMA's website:

On January 16, 2009, our company's title Adultmaster was scheduled for release. However, the launch has been halted for various reasons.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We are truly sorry. TMA

Various reasons? Sounds so varied. It's possible that the game was a little too close to the source material for Namco Bandai's liking. If this is the case, perhaps Namco's lawyers were a little too threatening for TMA's liking.

One is The Adultmaster, a saucy send up of Namco Bandai's iDOLM@STER franchise. It follows three women as they try to break in as "idols." The costumes look great, and the dialogue is probably spectacular.

The other is a re-release of cosplay-theme video starring Kyoko Ayana, complete with "new mosaics." This motion picture was originally released in 2004, a simpler time when women could dress up as Guilty Gear's Bridget without confusing everyone. See now, we're totally fucking baffled. Hit the jump for a picture of Kyoko as Bridget. It's safe for work, but the link is definitely not.

Just look at that yo-yo! Of course, this comes as visual novel CLANNAD gets a just released dirty parody of its own: CLONNAD.

Some shameful individuals have noticed how the machine is quite suggestive. And those shameful individuals have created embarrassing fan-made clips of video game characters riding the rodeo machines. Sadly, we have posted a few of the more game related ones after the jump — THE iDOLM@STER and Haruhi. Remember: These poor characters are supposed to be on the horseback riding machines. So! If you find that offensive, do not click over. The clips are possibly NSFW.

No, no they are not.

My bride came back.！ My Xbox 360 is back from Repairs and I couldn't be any happier. I was so happy... I decided to make a very simple very short video showing my wonderful Xbox and how it is after getting back from the repair

Oh, sorry about the clip size. You're going to have to squint. But, really, perhaps that's for the best. Thanks, Muu for the tip!

Katamari is known for its catchy tunes. Beautiful Katamari should be no exception! The Bandai Namco's current Xbox 360 exclusive features a sugary sweet song from another Bandai Namco Xbox 360 exclusive, THE iDOLM@STER. Above, that's it in-game in the Japanese version. No reason to doubt its in the English-language one. Can anyone confirm this?

Hit the jump for the song and idols clumping together.

Thanks, Miki!
