There are also a number of spin-off series, including <em>The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls<\/em>, <em>The Idolmaster SideM<\/em>, and <em>The Idolmaster Shiny Colors<\/em>, which all include different idols and management offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previous xR endeavors include things like <em>THE IDOLM<\/em><em>\uff20STER MR ST@GE!!
