Japan's iDOLM@STER games, up until now, have focused on the guidance of potential female pop stars as well as a bit of rhythm gaming, but an upcoming DS release in the series has mixed up that formula up a bit. Or should I say crossed up?
You see, iDOLM@STER: Dearly Stars for the Nintendo DS was already going to sell well, but a new promotional video for the game has revealed that one of the three cover girls is actually a guy, pushing preorders of the game sky high. And now the box art depicting a really tall, flat-chested idol makes a bit more sense.
Again, new character Ryo Akizuki is a trap. In the video below the jump (with translations), you'll see him/her scramble to get ready before the other two girls show up. Ryo has a problem putting his "pad" in, but manages to get that and his makeup done just in time. Great.

Balls!
Seems like it's in a 1/3327 chance now.
Because I haven't.

Is the Japanese seiyuu who plays Ryou on the right is a dude too?
I'm scared
Hey gamer, you chose the hidden dude, dude. That would feel like a bad trip to Thailand.
I also heard the special edition will come with an XBLA Code to downlad the english version of Bahamut Lagoon and Zone of the Enders 7.
