''I-Chu''/''Aichuu'' is [[NoExportForYou Japanese-only]] RhythmGame that has a fair amount of English player base, made by Liber Entertainment. It's a mobile rhythm game similar to Franchise/LoveLive, with the key differences being that there aren't any female characters ([[WholesomeCrossdresser the 'female ones' just look female]]), asides from [[PlayerCharacter you]], dubbed [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep the Producer]].

Seiya Aido, a cheerful boy raised in America, came to Japan to study at Etoile Vio Academy to become a "Samurai Idol" to chase after his idol, Tsubaki Rindo of Tenjyou Tenge. However, he's not the only idol that came to the Academy, there's a bunch of fresh blood, classified as 'Third Generation'. You, the Producer, are tasked with taking care of them throughout Story Mode. You're free to technically romance them during Affection Stories, or you can skip through them just for the rewards.

Like any other rhythm games, ''Aichuu'' is constantly updating with new events, special scouts, and Story Mode has yet to end. It has a total of 36 songs available to play, but at the end of every month, a new song gets released.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: Aichuu discs. You can log in daily to be rewarded them, complete affection stories, story modes, SSS songs, or... buy them for a relatively hefty amount of yen. Naturally, the last option is available to only a few. You can use Aichuu discs to scout 11 times, or completely restore the LP meter (except you have candies and lollipops for that anyway).

* CerebusSyndrome: Hits hard when the Music Award arc kicks in.

* EarlyGameHell: Played straight during events. Inverted when it comes to getting Aichuu discs. Most 10+1's are easily done early, but if you get to Rank 100, saving up 5 discs is a ''miracle''.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Averted. The Producer is canonically female, and she does have a [[https://twitter.com/ichu_official/status/614032966730133504 canonical design]], but it is never seen in-game. Nevermind just having a design, she also has a canon backstory, and a name (Yuzuki Asahina). Whatever the player names her can be seen as a nickname instead.

* ShipTease: ALL OVER THE PLACE. Doubles as HoYay between the boys.
