I'm not above playing a phone game that has anime girls plastered all over it, quite the opposite. After having a friend of mine talk my ear off about this game for a good while I finally decided to give it a try and I was actually pleasantly surprised with what I got.
Cinderella Girls is a rhythm game for you phone which boasts a pretty hefty number of tracks. You hold the phone sideways and tap the 5 buttons at the bottom of the screen in time with the music

While all the rhythm game stuff is going on you have a fully 3D dance routine going on in the background and each character in the game has their own 3D model. This puts it above it's competitor Love Live because last time I played that it only had static backgrounds which made playing songs a little visually unappealing.
Like every phone game and it's dog though Idolmaster has a collection element and it comes in the form of collecting performers for your group. This is done on the usual "gatcha" system where you pay some form of currency and then get given performers and items at random
From there you can arrange a team of whoever you like and using them in songs will net them fans and affection which you then use to gain special story sequences or "evolve" them to their next idol form. It is worth noting as well that this game gives out premium currency like it's candy so finding yourself with a team of rare idols doesn't actually take all that long and finding items to level them up with is equally easy so you can see a decent amount of progress in a very short time. While normal idols just have a mugshot for an image rarer idols have big fancy artwork so if you're the kind of person that likes their anime CG then you'll get a kick out of that.
My one real complaint about this game is that it seems to download content every 10 fucking seconds. Phones have limited data and I use mine up fairly quickly watching stupid YouTube videos during my train rides so this game may not be a good idea if you're the kind of person who is concerned about their date usage.
Still, it's not a terrible title and for a free to play mobile rhythm game it's pretty fun. It's not going be better than anything you could play in an arcade but not bad if you need a quick rhythm fix.
