Appearances in other video games
THE iDOLM@STER franchise has made several cameos in other games by Bandai Namco and/or other video game companies, either through actual appearances or through their songs.
Ace Combat series (Various Consoles)
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (Xbox 360)
The idols appear as paint schemes on downloadable aircraft from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Each plane has statistics that reflect on each idol's personality, in addition to being very eye-catching. The numbers of missiles in the aircraft are actually the height of the idol shown on the aircraft. Example : F-14D Azusa has 168 missiles, her height is 168 cm. The exception goes to A-10A iDOLM@STER SP. It has 765 missiles, it's actually the name of the protagonist's talent agency in THE iDOLM@STER, 765 Productions. The number of the aircraft's first three special weapons are actually the "three-sizes" (B-W-H) of the idol shown on the aircraft. If there is a fourth special weapon on the aircraft, it would be the idol's weight. Example : F-15E Chihaya has 72 XMA6, 55 UGB, 78 SFFS, and 41 XAGM. Her three-sizes are 72-55-78, and her weight is 41 kg. Again, the exception goes to A-10A Idolm@ster SP. It has 70 RCL, 60 FAEB, and 50 XAGM, 765 is the name of the talent agency, 765 Productions.
The planes are listed in the order that they were released in the Marketplace, as well as the amount of Microsoft Points required to download them.

Granblue Fantasy (PC, Mobile, Browser)
Several 346 Production idols appear as guests in a collaboration between Cinderella Girls and Granblue Fantasy, due in part to both games being developed by Cygames. The events featuring them are referred to collectively as the Cinderella Fantasy series.
As part of the first Cinderella Fantasy ~Girls on a Quest~ event, Rin Shibuya and Uzuki Shimamura both show up as characters from another world who teleported there by accident. Ranko Kanzaki is summonable by the name "Brynhildr". The event was continued in Cinderella Fantasy ~Keep Dreaming in the Sky~, where Mio Honda and Mika Jougasaki both make appearances as guest players. Kirari Moroboshi also appears as a summonable character, and Pinyakorata (voiced by Ayaka Ohashi) appears as a boss. The third event, Cinderella Fantasy ~Girls Keep on Dreaming~, adds Airi Totoki and Sachiko Koshimizu, while a black Pinyakorata (voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi) makes its debut appearance in the event. Cinderella Fantasy ~Snowy Mountain Story~, the fourth event, adds Miria Akagi and Anastasia, while upgrading Ranko Kanzaki to playable status. Cinderella Fantasy: Piña Hazard introduces Shiki Ichinose and Minami Nitta, as well as a pink Pinyakorata (voiced by Nao Toyama).
In addition to the main events, two smaller events were implemented during the collaboration's run. The first event, Cinderella Fantasy ~Peace for Lost Souls~ was a Unite and Fight event implemented in 2015, introducing Koume Shirasaka, Kanako Mimura, and Rika Jougasaki to the cast. The second, Cinderella Fantasy ~The Newcomers~, ran in 2017 and added Mizuki Kawashima, Miku Maekawa, and Anzu Futaba.
These events were heavily inspired by the April Fool's Joke, Dice DE Cinderella. The idols' costumes take many elements and color schemes featured in this campaign mini game.
A collaboration with SideM had members of 315 Production appear as guests in the SideM Fantasy: To the Sky Realm for Some Reasons event, where Teru Tendo, Tsubasa Kashiwagi, and Kaoru Sakuraba are brought to the world in flash of light while shooting for a commercial for the movie Granblue Fantasy.

Kuma Tomo (3DS)
Typing in certain words to talk to your bear will sometimes provide iDOLM@STER related reactions. This was officially revealed during THE IDOLM@STER 8th ANNIVERSARY HOP! STEP!! FESTIV@L!!!, where Kuma Tomo meet and greet promotional events were also held.
Later, preregistering for the iOS and Android versions would allow players to have a "Producer" and "Idol". The "Producer" outfit is based on the clothes Youzou Sakagami (AKA "GamiP") wears for public events. The "Idol" costume is based off of Haruka Amami's FLORAL costume, specifically her The☆Wild Strawberry.
Kuma Tomo would later appear in the "Cinderella Girls Theater" manga as a teddy bear from a crane game. The bear was eventually won by Yuzu Kitami and put on display in her room, but was largely ignored by Honoka Ayase in favor of her stuffed cat Pinyakorata.
The bear itself would make a later appearance as a DLC item for THE iDOLM@STER ONE FOR ALL. Kuma Tomo was a body accessory that acted as a pin.

Each three songs features its music video from ONE FOR ALL. When you have reached certain conditions below, you would unlock frames, titles, icons, and a nameplate based on THE IDOLM@STER series and its characters.

As of maimai MURASAKi, all three THE IDOLM@STER songs were removed, rendering the requirements to unlock items above useless. Curiously enough, THE IDOLM@STER nameplate, THE IDOLM@STER frame, and 765 Production icon stayed as of MURASAKi.
From the side of voice acting, though, Hiromi Igarashi, who voiced Anzu Futaba in THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls, also voiced Salt, one of the three navigators in maimai MiLK. [2]
This event was not the only iM@S collaboration with a SEGA arcade rhythm game, as another one was held almost seven years later.

A September 2017 event instead used the voice drama of Mujin Gattai Kisaragi as the basis for the 765 PRO characters: Ami, Mami, and their mecha Kisaragi, as well as Haruka and her Harukaizer, were made playable units, while Azusa, Iori, Makoto, Hibiki, Miki, Takane, Yayoi, and Yukiho made appearances in the story. A remix of arcadia titled "arcadia (X-Ω Ver.)" was used as the main theme.

The idols Anna Mochizuki, Yuriko Nanao, and Miki Hoshii appeared in the game during the Cheerful Music! event. Yuriko and Anna were available as playable units while Miki was purchasable as a homescreen background character. Sword Art Online characters Asuna (Asuna Yuuki), Sinon (Shino Asada), Leafa (Suguha Kirigaya), and Eydis Synthesis Ten (CV: Kana Hanazawa) appeared wearing Million Live! themed outfits.
The Cheerful Music! event included a special event story where the collaborating Million Live! idols meet several Sword Art Online characters after they suddenly find themselves in the VRMMO known as ALfheim Online.
UNION!! appeared as an event song. Asuna (CV: Haruka Tomatsu), Sinon (CV: Miyuki Sawashiro), and Leafa (CV: Ayana Taketatsu) cover the song, with Anna, Yuriko and Miki providing background vocals.
Unleash Blading ceased service in January 2023, thus the Million Live! content from that game is currently unavailable.
Character | Card Name | Profile |
---|---|---|
Anna Mochizuki | Let's Enjoy the Game | I finally get it. This is the world where I'm always at. The characters and enemies are so real…not to mention the play style is completely different. But it's just the same as being inside a really fun game! The only difference being is that my friends are nearby…like on a different level! |
Yuriko Nanao | Tailwinds of the Dream Girl | This is so COOL! I'm in a fantasy world… but in real time! These wings on my back also let me fly through the skies at will… Just like a wind warrior! If I hear anyone crying for help, I will answer the call wherever they may be. Sounds like what a protagonist in a story would say, right? |
Theater Days also received a Sword Art Online related event as a result of the collaboration. SSRs of Julia and Kotoha Tanaka appeared as limited collaboration gacha cards with Kirito's and Asuna's outfits (more specifically, their in-universe rare outfits for them) respectively.

Taiko no Tatsujin series (Arcade/Various Consoles)
The idols themselves dance in rhythm with the music, all from 765 PRO, 961 PRO, 876 PRO, 346 PRO, and 315 PRO. 765 Production, 876 Production and 961 Production's idols all use the art style above, which depicts the idols dancing on a festival stage. Interestingly, this is one of the few forms of media that shows Takane Shijou and Hibiki Ganaha's CUTE&GIRLY and COOL&SEXY costumes from the First Vision era. The 346 Production songs instead used the Puchiderella art style, while the 315 Production songs used the SideMini style. The 765 Theater songs utilize a unique chibi style similar to the art in the Theater Days 4komas. Several songs have appeared in multiple games of the Taiko no Tatsujin series across several consoles.
