IdolMaster seiyuu Takahashi Chiaki (Azusa) and Imai Asami (Chihaya), are auctioning off autographed copies of the second IdolMaster game, IdolM@ster Live For You, for charity.
As of writing the price of the signed copies has exceeded the ¥110,000 mark, with less then a hundred bids and is continuing to climb, with 8 hours remaining. The game costs ¥7,000 new.
All of the proceeds will be donated charitably to support the less fortunate.
The games themselves have been opened to allow the seiyuu to sign the inserts under the plastic:
Second-hand copies like this can be had for ¥2,500…
One has to wonder just what kind of fan has the money to afford these…

DO WANT! Though, if possible.. wouldn't it be cheaper to just find Chiaki and Asami and ask them for a autograph on the game?
Yeah, but then you wouldn't be donating to charity.
lol Good bloody luck getting an autograph session in the first place.
Yeah.......
Not my favorite characters, but I WANT THIS SO BAD.
Surprisingly, these are actually my two favorite characters from IdolM@ster.
US$1,200 is worth it for charity
Well, as a certain man once said " A low possibility means it's not zero " ;)
Gonna fetch those autographs.
Oh, I don't care for charity, it's a waste of effort, money and time.
I wonder if buying something in a charity auction can be used as a tax right-off?
For charity, I'll say this is worth it.
Is a good thing that these idol master are auctioning it and then donate to the needy
do want
One has to wonder just what kind of fan has the money to afford these…
this would be the answer for that...

a collector :P they dun care of prize
another market gimmick to earn cash lol
What part of 'All of the proceeds will be donated charitably to support the less fortunate.' didn't you understand?
He must've meant "another market gimmick to earn cash for charity lol"
Plus, you get to write it up on your tax deduction from your income. Wonder if the tax auditor will call you to clarify that.lol
It STILL baffles me how a franchise that's made up of little more than two games can garner such a following.
In other words, WANT.
