Nothing beats all the cute and gorgeous ship girls in Azur Lane. But what if you put ship girls together with idol girls? That is now possible with Azur Lane’s new event which features characters from the popular anime, The Idolmaster.

The Idolmaster x Azur Lane collaboration has just started, and all commanders are invited to participate in this amazing and unexpected gathering.

Before this event, Azur Lane gave us its two permanent events the Sea Star on Shore and the Angel or Devil in White events.

Now let us dive into this exciting Azur Lane patch.

The Idolmaster x Azur Lane

The main event under The Idolmaster x Azur Lane collaboration is the Azur Anthem where you can play event stages to collect PT to earn special rewards.

In Azur Anthem, you can sortie even stages and exchange them. The grand prize that awaits you at the end is The Idolmaster’s Azusa Miura and Ritsuko Akizuki.

In The Idolmaster, Azusa Miura is an idol who served as the vocals and visuals of the group. She is blue-haired with a strong big sister vibe. She is 21 years old in the game and is voiced by Takahashi Chiaki, a performer from J-pop group Aice5.

In Azur Lane, Azusa Miura is classified as a Super Rare Heavy Cruiser ship from The Idolmaster faction. She is also voiced by Takahashi in this collaboration.

Meanwhile, Ritsuko Akizuki excels in vocals, dance, and visuals. You can even say she has balanced the three based on her The Idolmaster (Arcade) statistics. Ritsuko is 19 years old and is voiced by Wakabayashi Naomi.

Azur Lane’s Ritsuko Akizuki is an Elite Munition Ship under The Idolmaster faction.

There is also a new Meet n’ Greet event, a mini game where commanders can claim the limited gear Shining Bracelet by completing 7 days worth of minigames.
