The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

This is the eighth volume of The Idolmaster Gravure For You! series. It has a new compilation of songs: "MIKI YellowGreenMIX". Much like Hibiki and Takane's volumes, Miki's image color (fresh green) is replaced with "Yellow Green". This volume also marked Eri Mizutani's second HD appearance, featuring her in a special mode of the game. This mode allows players to take pictures of her wearing the costume "Pastel Bikini" and listen to her sing the BGM music. An option was also developed to allow pictures to be taken on a horizontal, empty beach. Both "Dreamy Wedding" and "Pastel Bikini" debuted in this volume.
