The Aikatsu! arcade game was primarily designed for little girls, who can use separately purchased cards to dress up the on-screen characters in brightly colored, frilly outfits and watch them perform various song and dance routines.
So should the owners of the machines welcome the Aikatsu Oji-san with open arms, or try to drive them away?
A prime example is Aikatsu!, the excitedly titled series about junior and senior high school students trying to become idol singers.
On the one hand, there’s nothing wrong with adult men enjoying a game originally meant for little girls, and the Aikatsu Oji-san are a major revenue stream, since they have far more cash to spend on their hobby than little girls too young to even have a part-time job.
