Nobody actually watched these. They're DVD bonus crumbs tossed at people who already bought Xenoglossia, five-minute side dishes that exist in the margins of a show that was already asking too much of its premise. But if you stuck with the girls and their giant robot, these specials are the quiet exhale after everything broke: downtime episodes that remember these are idols first, mecha pilots second, and that sometimes the funniest thing isn't a joke but Haruka just being Haruka. They're not essential. They're the opposite of essential. They're the reason you keep watching anyway.

A set of nine short specials, each about five minutes long, that were released only on the DVDs of iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia. The episodes carry their own titles, among them Izayoi-ryou e Youkoso!, Nantettatte Idol! and SWEET MEMORIES, and the ninth serves as an epilogue to episode 26 of the main series. They are comedic sci-fi mecha shorts that suit viewers who have already seen the main show.
