I see the bug, thanks for reporting!
Here's fixed save file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iDxRRKWhX-4TWjnDbKsEUoXKD1LlNHov/view?usp=shari...
=================
If anyone else is having this issue and doesn't want to wait for the next update:
This can happen if the center of your single that ranks #1 in the charts graduates before you continue the main story.
You need to open your save file with a text editor and:
- Find an idol with "Variables": ["center"]
- Remove "center" from her and add it to any other idol who hasn't graduated yet
When preparing for the Summer Games, I encountered a localization error. While talking about how to pander to the audition judges, this happened:
Hello, This game is so much fun!
** This message is google transfer **
I am playing beta with steam demo save data.
I have some issues.
1. The same member performs multiple stylings.
2. Dating with the graduated members.Is this the correct specification?
3. It's 2028 now. Various response operations slow down after playing for a few hours.I feel that it is getting worse over the years.
4. This is a suggestion. Place the newest song at the top of the concert song selection screen. As more songs are released, scrolling to the best to pick the latest song can be annoying.
5. This is a suggestion. Please allow members to socialize(Planning a date) during practicing and styling.I'm taking the following boring action to achieve this:
The devs have had to change the game's age rating to 'Adults Only', which is causing problems to players in a few countries that don't openly and freely allow the sale of such products. It could be the case with China. This is not a final decision, however, so there's still a chance it may end up being reverted.
Im using the Steam version btw

Have you installed any mods? Something went wrong because of this girl: 夕凪英姬
Hello, I cant raise Cool and Sexy for some idols. Sometimes it work sometimes it doesn't. From the screenshots it is visible that this idol can raise her Cool and Sexy up to 55 and 76. I have an expert stylist with Cool and Sexy but It doesn't allow me raise the attributes. When I am trying to drag and drop the Idol as it is visible on the screenshot, areas with Cool and Sexy are red.
Can someone help please? I am using the steam version and I have tried with mods and without with the same result.
I also think that there is some problem with the story progression. I am still at chapter 1 and my current quest is to top the single charts. Is it supposed to be this way? I haven't seen much events either.
I'm also having this issue with the stylist. Here's an attached save file and log: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g3gay7zl989xgp9/stylist.zip/file
In this screenshot here, I'm trying to drag Sasaki Karen to the stylist with 6 stars in Cool/Sexy. Cool and Sexy are both marked ineligible in red, even though her Cool and Sexy stats are only 20, so the stylist should definitely be able to train her. Hiring new stylists doesn't change it -- it applies to all the stylists that I have.
I took liberty to peek in the game code, and i'd guess this issue is caused by the huge impact of your current fame level on the number of new fans you acquire:
private float GetFameNewFansBaseCoeff()
{
return resources.GetFameLevel() switch
{
0 => 2f,
1 => 1.5f,
2 => 0.5f,
3 => 0.3f,
4 => 0.25f,
5 => 0.25f,
6 => 0.15f,
7 => 0.1f,
8 => 0.05f,
9 => 0.03f,
10 => 0.01f,
_ => 0.1f,
};
}
The catch is, fame levels are very easy/fast to acquire. In my game i have fame level 10 after a year or so, mainly from doing contract work. This means my new fan gains are reduced to 1% of what they'd be otherwise, even though i have just a bit above 100k fans total and obviously plenty of room to grow in this department.
As a fix i'd suggest increasing numbers needed to acquire fame (a bump as large as 10x wouldn't be out of place, considering you can hit the max in just a year) and/or improve the fame coefficient calculation to take into account the size of your existing fan base, and don't reduce it so drastically if the players fan base is still somewhat small.
Hope this helps?
Hey, been a while since I've posted stuff here. Thought I'd put some observations I found. (Warning, massive post ahead)
She's in two rooms at the same time. One is styling her for sexy, the other for cool.
Choosing any of the styling options (Including 'All visual params') under 'Auto Practice' doesn't work. The tick doesn't appear and vanishes from the list until any of the top 4 options are chosen.
While being on the topic of stylists, I would humbly request an option (in the policies section, probably) to disallow stylists to work on stats that are over an idol's potential.
Singles still grant buzz, but it looks to me like that function has been removed from the game. The main UI does not show any mention of buzz anymore.
The photogenic trait claims to make negotiations in photoshoot contracts always successful, but they aren't. And the 'random photo marketing promo' is no longer a thing from what I can tell.
Again, is buzz even still a thing?
Still on the topic of traits, can we get an option for idols like this to train their lowest stat in their auto-practice option? Perhaps also an option to not train any of their stats that are already at or over their potential.
Swapping tabs (with tab or MMB) while carrying an event/show/single will stick it to your cursor, until you click on the originating event/show/single again.
Adding activities to your queue and then removing them greys out the activities and will not allow you to re-add them by clicking (in the 'Details' menu or the 'Activities' menu) Shortcuts (Z, X, C) will still work.
For that matter, level-up requirements for activities do not update for the 'details' menu when the requirements are reached during an activity cooldown, while they do update in the 'Activities' menu itself.
After building your first expansion on a floor, the subsequent floors' rents go up, this is normal, but for some reason the floors going down gain a higher increase of rent than the floors going up.
If you lower an idol's salary to ¥1.000 /w, you can no longer increase it by pressing the plus button (You can still change it with the edit icon)
ᶜᵃⁿ ʷᵉ ᵍᵉᵗ ᵃⁿ ᵒᵖᵗᶦᵒⁿ ᵗᵒ ᶜʰᵃⁿᵍᵉ ⁿᵘᵐᵇᵉʳ ˢᵉᵖᵃʳᵃᵗᵒʳˢ ᶠʳᵒᵐ ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵃˢ ᵗᵒ ᵖᵉʳᶦᵒᵈˢˀ
Raising one idol's salary reduces the satisfaction of other idols, this is intended(?), but can mess up the auto 50% salary policy, making some idols get under the asked for 50%. Also, why is there no 100% option?
I find the inconsistency of the stamina limits between policies and the cafe a bit strange. (And the theater doesn't have any?)
Speaking of the theater, I can't select Young Adult or Adult as the target audience for Sunday, as the dropdown box goes off the screen.
I know this is a massive list, and some of these are just pet peeves, but I thought I'd mention them anyways.
Thanks for all the hard work, loving the game still,
Brian
Have you been able to find a fix for the duplicating Idols in Stylist rooms ? I've been searching everywhere to no avail and this problem is driving me crazy. I've 11 Stylists working full time but they keep bugging due to this problem and the Idol stops getting any kind of progress in most cases (or only one Stylists progress will actually matter in the best case scenario).
I'm at a point where it'll be extremely tedious to micromanage each idol for a stat increase, if you do not have a fix i sure hope they will fix this soon because i'm not sure if i want to keep playing like this for long.
Well that's a bummer, let's hope they will fix it at some point, still thanks for replying tho.
In the end i kept playing anyway, i like this game too much. It's just going much slower since i have to manually do everything now, but i guess at least i keep a closer track of who does or needs what, eh.
