Hold on a second! Thats not true anymore! In the world of idol games, you can have your lovely male idol all for yourself!

First of all, maybe many of you think of Love Live! or Idol Master when you hear the word “Idol Game”. In those games, the boy producers create a girl idol group. But its not just for girl idols anymore. There are tons of boy idol games out there! The time has come for girls to become producers of cute boy idols!

Boy idol games completely change the image that idols are unreachable people. In these games you are always by their side. “Uta no Prince-sama” is said to be the starter of this popularity of boy idol games.

In this game, you work together with the boys who entered the same show biz college, and make their idol major debut come true. Before becoming an idol, they have their own lives. Throughout the process of coming together as one, you see that each person has something to hide, something they can’t say. You must communicate with each of them, and help them out. This is something that only the people around them can experience, and not fans. This “special” feeling is one of the reasons why these games are so popular!

Other than “Uta no Prince-sama”, there have been many exciting boy idol games released! For those of you who are thinking of trying them out, I would like to introduce the 2 most hot games!
