Well that's what it says on the product page. For those who are region locked this is how it looks:

HEY HEY BAMCO, what's up with this? I mean even LOVE LIVE gives translation to their games, and yet Idolm@ster doesn't? That's why LOVE LIVE is trashing Idolm@ster, cause they know how cater to their non Japanese fans--- just like HOLOLIVE!

I mean I'm not even a fan of Love Live nor Hololive, but with those two you, can see the effort those Japanese folks are trying to do for their English fanbase.

BANDAI NAMCO you better freaking add English language support.

I do not really care about english translation.
But region lock thing is sad. I believe many region locked people are interested in this game even without (official) translation.

Bandai Namco is wasting yet another opportunity

Haha... maybe Sega can create a new franchise, Idolmaster English (just like Hololive EN), with all the characters being 30-40+ years old women, so the game can be released in the west.

Really? I don't see it.

The way I see it, it's the plain and simple reason why Love Live is way more popular: they know how to cater to the English fanbase.

Just how Hololive have more subsribers than Nijisanji, because Hololive also caters to the English fanbase.

There no entitlement there mate, simple statement of facts.

These idiots over BAMCO are making Korean and Chinese translations but no English? Yeah pretty much 200 IQ there for BAMCO. Oh sorryI mean 20 IQ lol

It's likely a licensing thing. Asia tends to be considered one region for Japanese music licensing. Releasing in Korean and Chinese (the latter probably mostly for HK) is close to free money.

And yes even if Namco owns the music in Japan, depending on the contracts they might have to pay the artists again to release in the West. The Japanese record industry is stricter than the RIAA.

Did you know that, BNEI NEARLY NEVER care about IM@S Producers outside Japan, even in China Mainland?
None of the IM@S game have International Server, Including Starlight Stage and Theater Days, Only Mobamas(KR Server,already end of service) and MLTD(KR and TW) have server outside Japan.
See, even LoveLive(Both SIF and SIFAS) and BanG Dream(GBP) have many version in other countries or regions, I just don't understand why BNEI don't care about foreign Producers, until 15th Anniversary.

[AwdOTFT]

And, a freaking truth:The Starlight Stage is completely a s**t, just because Cygames and BNEI want to make more profit on this 5-year-old card-scouting rhythm game. Now it have 2 Cinderella Fes Scouts per month, but the number of free jewel and free scout never increase, and they produce more and more new cards with stronger skills, It's clearly that Cygames and BNEI just want you to pay more for your favorite characters.
The most intolerable thing is, since CGSS's 5th Anniversary, the new song and its new 3D MV quality are worse and worse, when Uma Musume games was about to release in Japan, the new song's 3D MV simply DISSAPPEARED!!!
So, if Cygames don't care about Starlight Stage, why don't they just give it to other company which like to develop this game, and just focus on developing their new Uma Musume?

It wasn't until 2016 that they started releasing games in Chinese and Korean. Until then, it was released only in Japanese. I think it will take a long time to release it in English.

[Akiraigo5]

no English only Japanese.

[KingKrouch]

Since the game uses Unreal Engine 4, it could be possible to find out what they're using for localized strings (Since there's support for more than just JP), and possibly do an unofficial English patch. I'm going to be looking into the game files sometime soon to see if that's a possibility.

[Friday]

if they don't, i'm kinda sure there'll be some user's patch.. bad news is you must waiting some times..

[KingKJP]

I've managed to unpack the game files and convert the locres files to .csv files, but now my issue is exporting them back to something that get's through the converter that I used.

Got the photo mode translated.

Is this how CN feels like if there's no cn language in any game?
