"Private Idol Disc Vol. 02: Uchiyama Miki" is a niche title in the realm of video games that was released exclusively for the Sega Saturn in Japan. Developed as part of the “Private Idol” series by multimedia company Media Rings, this game offers a unique digital experience focused on Uchiyama Miki, a fictional idol. Players engage in an interactive experience whereby they are able to navigate a series of video clips, photos, and interviews, simulating the role of a producer or a fan. The core objective is to learn more about Miki and help manage aspects of her burgeoning career, from scheduling photo shoots to managing public appearances, all while ensuring her happiness and career success.

The game is not well-known outside of Japan due to its limited release and cultural specificity, as it primarily caters to fans of Japanese idol culture. Released during the mid-90s, a period when CD-ROM technology was being heavily integrated into gaming systems, "Private Idol Disc Vol. 02: Uchiyama Miki" utilized this technology to deliver multimedia content, which was a novel use at the time. The game features a collection of videos and images in decent quality, presenting an immersive experience that, while simple by contemporary standards, was quite innovative for its time. The game mainly attracts collectors and enthusiasts of vintage games, particularly those with an interest in the unique digital idol phenomenon of Japan.
