The magic of Cinderella Girls is that it trusts you already know these girls, already believe in them. This special doesn't explain itself or start over, it just lives in the space between stages, the texts at 2 AM, the moment before the curtain rises when everything feels possible. If you made it through the TV series watching ordinary girls become something more, this is what you came for: proof that the magic stuck, that these idols are still climbing.

The Cinderella Project girls of 346 Production return in this special episode, an unaired 26th installment of The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls that was bundled with the ninth Blu-ray and DVD volume of the series. The story follows the ordinary girls chosen as aspiring idols under the agency's new program. Expect a music-focused slice-of-life entry aimed at viewers who already know the Cinderella Project cast from the main series.
