You have to save before you start the song because the launch result is always the same. You'll probably have to go viral to get it: one of the two moments I hate in this game because it totally depends on luck. This part concludes with the "Song of the Month" task. That feels wrong (it is wrong) but it's a great source of influence. Scandals: try your best and always pay the blackmailers. Not worth it at this time but no real damage either. Cafe is only good for achievements theatre is a real source of money only after you have researched streaming. I hate flesh peddling and if you don't your idols will never request to take part in one. By now singles should be your main source of money and fans, but organize at least one concert a year to get the reward (your idols will probably request concerts anyway). Raise your idols' salaries to maximum if you haven't already. Hire additional staff when needed: the first one should be an expert production manager (more cards at concerts) and then doctor(s) and a beautician or two. For at least a while follow the route that you chose at the beginning. If you don't have enough money to launch a concert you must choose: you can either get The Daughter (I left her in the group for quite a while in my first game: she had a lot of fans but she was also a constant source of trouble and spent more time with the shrink than with the group she never wanted to graduate, for obvious reasons) or - better - a Fujimoto's loan 4 million should be enough. Make a new song (not necessary but it makes me feel better), rinse and repeat until you feel safe. Exploit the ticket price mercilessly - start with 10.000 Yen and then scale down to get the best result. If you have enough money left after your first five singles launch the first concert immediately. The danger are exaggerated you can determine how much stamina they may use but, of course, you do have to control it all the time.
#Idol manager concert manual#
If you have experts start manual or autotraining immediately. Also, it is best to start with five girls: great group chemistry guaranteed after a song or two and much less exhaustion at concerts. Don't feel bad about it: the game cheats a lot anyway. Save before the audition and repeat as long as it takes to get a decent result. Also, choose funny or smart as the group image, since these are the only attributes guaranteed to grow all the time.

Later, you can change your policy but, as far as I know, adults (male or female), combined with harcore fans, are the easiest to please. The ones that are really important are about your expected audience: basically, you can center on adults or on teens - you can't have both.

Right before you start your first audition the sales manager (and later the choreographer) will pose you a series of questions.
