Why it matters
The arcade card game is routing its second update through SideM, putting the male-idol brand in front of the cabinet audience rather than on a console or streaming release.
Key Facts
- The Idolmaster TOURS Second Stage begins operation in arcades nationwide on Thursday, October 29, 2026.
- The Idolmaster SideM is the featuring brand, and Rui Maita and Jiro Yamashita appear.
- The song "Study Equal Magic!" is added in the Second Stage installment.
- Tour Mode adds the 9 prefectures of the Chubu Area and the new stage Fuji Night Fest Venue in Yamanashi.
- The installment adds 84 types of cards, including the costume card "Witch Night Party" and the accessory cards "Franken Bolt" and "Wolf Hand (Gray)".
It also brings the Chubu Area's 9 prefectures to Tour Mode, the new stage Fuji Night Fest Venue in Yamanashi, the original song "SYMPHONY", and 84 types of cards.
The Second Stage update leans on SideM for more than its cast. Six types of the concept card "OFF MODE" draw on the brand, alongside the costume card "Cosmic Ranger" and the SP Appeal card "Passion Pose", both of which unlock SideM-exclusive costumes and poses.
Tour Mode expands past the existing Kanto Area with the 9 prefectures of the Chubu Area, and the new stage Fuji Night Fest Venue in Yamanashi opens once conditions are cleared. A cleared Challenge Stage makes the new original song "SYMPHONY" selectable. Rin Shibuya's "UR" card "Violet Fairy" carries foil and special processing, and repeated lives with it trigger a special high-five.
