Bandai Namco is working on a third Aikatsu! game for 3DS called “Aikatsu! 365 Idol Days”.

Aikatsu! 365 Idol Days is a “real idol adventure” whereas the previous two games were “idol experience” games. The new 3DS entry will allow players to enjoy 365 “ultra-realistic” idol days and has them aiming for the top as a live performer, actress and model.

Aikatsu! 365 Idol Days’ first trailer, posted above, shows that you’ll have to schedule your lessons and work – like posing and photo-shoots.

Aikatsu! 365 Idol Days launches in Japan on December 4. The game’s three junior idols – Akari ?zora, Sumire Hikami and Hinaki Shinj? – will be featured in the new Aikatsu! anime series that is debuting in October.
