Konmai has promised that the game will boast a new experience with the latest technology, although details of what the entails were not disclosed.

Idol multimedia projects are a dime and a dozen, so it it will be interesting to see what Konmai will bring to the tablet. At first glance there does not seem to be anything particular which stands out, but if Konmai of all parties have greenlit the project, it must have a lot of faith in it.
