I also suggest what we should get gold idols when we do local auditions because let's be real after talented trainees leave from very good companies they also end up in small shitty companies or talented idols were rejected from big companies for whatever reason for example we could get gold idol with great vocals and dancing skills but they would not be cool or pretty because for example this is why they ended up here, others didn't want them because they were ugly by idol standards. It can be very small % to get them like maybe 0.2% but it would be nice if we could get some talented gold idols in local auditions.

So first of all, I want to say that I've been enjoying the game immensely, even though I've only been playing for a few days so far. I don't know how deep the existing content goes, so I apologize if some of these are already implemented or planned.

The first one is something that I'd consider to be a rather big QoL improvement; the other two are just things I think would be nice to have.

1. Show the relationship meters in the Socialization screen. Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to actually check your relationship stats while you're actually in conversation. It would be great if, for instance, you could see an idol's Influence value before you try to blackmail her into doing something for you. I generally try to double-check their profiles before I enter a conversation, but every now and again I forget to, or else I need a refresher.
2. Right now it doesn't seem like there's much point to keeping on an idol as a staffer after she graduates, as there's nothing really differentiating her from Generic Office Temp #4021 other than the unique portrait. It would be nice to have something like a unique stat bonus, or else some minor post-graduation events that pop up occasionally based on the relationship you developed with her while she was still active.
3. Personalities that evolve as an idol ages. Not necessarily asking for something like a full-blown Crusader Kings-style trait system, but it would be fun if each idol had a small random chance of gaining a second trait on her birthday in addition to the one she starts with.
   

I've been playing the game since may, and I must admit that I love it.

But as I was playing, I was thinking that I could be very amazing to not be imposed groups of ten. As I know it could disbalance the game to have smaller groups, I was thinking that the amount of smaller groups could be restrain to a certain amounts, per fame of you company maybe ? I don't know yet, but I think it would ba awesome to have the ability to create duos or trios without having like 30 idols in your main group in order to do so.

I also was thinking that saving the formation you did would really help, cuz when you start building up a big company it is easy to get lost in your idols.

And also, I know you can see idols according to your sister groups, but it would be really nice if we could (when you do a single with your main group) have an option to only see your main group (or at least have them all put together and not having to scroll your idols for them (who would be in between the members of two differents sister groups)

Since the upcoming update can   influence  idols to stay with the group longer. I hope I can convince famous graduated member to join anniversary or special single.

and I also hope there is b-side or coupling song that can choose member to participate too. [ Just like main single but you can choose member for coupling song too ]

Another one to add to the list:  It would be quite helpful if we had some sort of ledger / account book where all of the financial info is gathered into one place for easy review, broken down by month. Right now it seems as though I have to hunt around between several different screens to find it, and I don't think revenue for singles and concerts is logged anywhere beyond the individual results screens for each one.

A few things I want to add.

*Since there's characters with age number in the game, how about prohibit/ not allowed girls under the age of 18 from partaking any sexy activities or business proposal as this shouldn't be happening realistically. 

If this happen, this can result in an instant scandal that could potentially ruined the company such as reduction in sale by 50% or popularity.
This can only occur a certain amount of time like scandals act as warning, after three strike the game is over (such as government official shuts the idol group down due to multiple violation of the law).

That way, the game would be more harder and we have to pay attention to the girls age before assigning them to business proposal that they shouldn't do.

*Having an option whether to be causal in the workplace in business policies, (such as the employees doesn't need to be formal such as no need to say Mr. x
and can just say the player name instead casually) This boost mental points or morale. Or a formal workplace which boost quality.

*Notification sound for completion of task or activities being assigned such and setting to customized which notification we would like to have in the game. Same with business proposal being successful and available to accept

*Add the option to release a single as a standalone CD without anything included (A single album with no photocard, no handshake event no promotion included etc but the downside is risk of lower sale due to lack of marketing).

*Add a rare business proposal where the idol group get to perform at special events such as award ceremony or sports event as special guest. This result in huge rewards but bigger risk.

*New game in sandbox mode which allow players to skip the entire storyline and play casually without the main story just like the current beta state. (But requires the main game to be completed first).

 Optional but too time consuming

*Add some dialogue for the manager to make the conversation a little more smooth, for example after the player choose this option:

Idol: Hi, you wanted to see me?
Manager: Yes, it's about what you said to x.
Idol: Oh, it's regarding the conversion I had with x.
Manager: Yep. I just wanted to let you know that this is all a big misunderstanding and I just want to clarify that we were just discussing about her future at x.

*Increase Starting funds by $2,000,000 on normal difficulty to make it a bit more easier for newer players.

I was thinking, maybe a room, appart from the theater, that can help to rise the smart and funny of your Idol might be something quite interesting. Like classrooms with teachers in humour or smart things, I don't know at all, but since they're calculated on the percentage of success of the new promotions, it would be quite nice to do do something with it

If possible at this point, some Nogizaka references would be nice. Seems like everything I see is AKB/Keyakizaka.

I was thinking it would be interesting to have a feature where you could buy other idol production companies and absorb them into your group. Maybe have policies set where the idols you get from "buying out" the company either become a sister group or they are managed autonomously and you get a cut of the revenue instead of all of it by taking direct control of the group.

Also, it would be nice if you could set policies for all groups or have different policies for differ sister groups.

Have you debated adding the ability to compile albums in any length? I feel like it could be an advantage to either wrap old singles together into an album, or spend more time and resource to create an album instead of a single.

By wrapping the previous sigles into an album, it may also create a convenient way to select a song if you wanted a specific lead for a concert!

Shouldn't the mods be bound with the save not the whole game?

Would it be better if the mods can be activated per start (when start a new game), while keeping the mod tab in the main menu screen for master activation?

because I would like to have different game saves for different mods, for example, save A for vanilla game, and save for K-Pop mod.

Could we have an option to divorce? I know this is not a decent thing to do, but y'know, gameplay wise it kinda makes sense.

Also, R18 contents seemed too generic and non-interactive right now. The idol in R18 CGs could have layered facial features, hairstyles and clothing just like the standing pictures. And we could have more choices, routes and varieties in terms of R18 scenes and gameplay. I know it's not a dating sim, but it's always nice to have everything as detailed and developed as possible if decided to be implemented in the first place. The variety of aspects, possibilities and gameplay functionalities is one of the biggest strong points of this game IMO and I rate this game above all other similar titles simply because of this. I'd love to be surprised even more.

Edit: Some new thoughts. It doesn't make sense that the songs can't be produced simultaneously by the producer, manager, coach, etc. This is not realistic. Also, the collection of idols can be further expanded. After a while it gets pretty repetitive at current state.

Love the new stories and dating system tho. Keep up the great work.
