#resources;

to start everything off we’re at the home screen. the bar at the bottom is your main navigation to go from home screen to story and so on, but we’ll cover each section later on.

underneath the box which shows what your chosen idol is saying are as follows: your giftbox, the news tab, your friends, and missions.

giftbox: pretty standard. this is where things such as login bonuses and live rewards will go and can be picked up from !!

news tab: basically anything that’s new and happening with the app.

friends: this is where your friends list will be along with your received requests, sent requests, and where you can search for people via id and whatnot.

missions: this is where missions can be listed. completing these missions will reward you with a set number of scouting gems.

here is a basic look at the friends section. there are four tabs at the very top. when you first click on the button for friends your friends list will be the first to display. the tab next to your friends list is the requests you have received from other players. sent requests is where you can view the requests you have sent to other members. the final tab is where you can search for other players using 2 specific methods. the top bar my guess is by nickname but i am not certain. the 2nd search option is by ID. this is where you can search for your friends using their game id. below will include your nickname and then your id.

this is the page for the stories. it is pretty straightforward as each form of story has a what it is underneath in english but here is basic info for each section.

main story: this is where the main story is which by completing you can unlock songs. a story chapter is unlocked by story tickets which can be obtained via leveling up. each story you view gives you 5 gems.

side story: these are stories you unlock by filling out your idols’ memorial boards on their cards (more to be explained later on). each story you view gives you 5 gems.

event story: most likely stories for events. currently no events thus no event stories.

next up is the idol menu. here you can view the different idols. you can do various things such as change costumes, change partners, and so on.

This is the general layout for each idol. the top bars switch from this layout to their general character profile.

costumes: this is where you can change your idol’s costumes. costumes can be unlocked from filling out the memorial boards for the idols. (again explained later)

portraits: portraits of your idols unlocked from completing specific side stories for each card.

backgrounds: change the overall background for the game. can be unlocked through stories.

bonds: your idol’s bond with other idols increased via them performing on the same team.

set as partner: set the idol as your partner. will appear on main screen.

here we have the songs. you can play songs you have unlocked on one of the 4 different difficulties and gain gems for scouting upon either getting a specific score, getting a specific combo, or completing the songs a certain number of times.

the other tab is your general “b-sides” songs. here you can play these songs for specific “tokens” used for idolizing your cards. the songs here have a limited mount of time available and can be seen underneath. currently Shining Romance and FORCE LIVE are available for 32 more days. the 3rd song cycles out every day.

here we have the place where you scout. the tabs above allow you to filter between different kinds of scouting. currently the other tab is only capable of being scouted with PAID gems. so if you’ve bought gems you can make do with this. it is pretty straightforward for most idol games. here the scouts can give you anywhere from rare to ultra rare cards. it is most recommended to wait to scout for 11 as you receive at least one guaranteed sr or above.

note: if you are playing this for the very first time and have your guaranteed ur ticket there will be a 3rd tab where you can proceed to use your ticket in order to receive your guaranteed ur. mine isn’t here as i’ve already received mine.

here is the general menu for lessons.

teams/live members: this is where you can create your teams to be used for playing the songs. you can have up to 6 teams.

lessons: this is where you level up your cards. you can use exp orbs dropped after live performances and available in certain purchased packages or you can use other cards.

special lessons: this is where you can use duplicates of two of the same card together to essentially “limit break” them. similar to other idol games.

memorial board: this is where you can use the moon/sun/star tokens to strengthen, idolize, and unlock things such as stories/costumes/quotes with your cards.

bromide: basically the collection of cards you own.

medal shop/exchange: here you can sell your cards for special coins/medals. chich can be used to unlock backgrounds, tokens for your memorial boards, and other coins/medals.

here is the basic look at the teams/live members menu. you can have up to 6 teams that you can cycle through. the menu with the pen on it is where you can change the name of your teams for better organization. the yellow button is what you press to set a specific team as your main team. the white button is to auto build team.

upon clicking it there will be a set of buttons. on the left it will have you choose from auto building a team based on either balanced, dance, vocal, or act.

the other half will allow you to filter specific cards for that team such as only wanting act cards for your team rather than building a team that includes dance and vocal cards as well.

here is the basic layout of the lessons menu. you will select a member and from this menu you can choose to use either cards you have or exp/skill orbs to level up your card’s level or its skill level. unfortunately for this screenshot i do not have any exp or skill orbs to show. press the red button to confirm your choice for the lesson and white is to cancel.

the special lessons can only be used with duplicates of each card. as i currently do not have any there is not much to show aside from a blank screen. it is pretty straightforward though. it will provide you with the cards you have duplicates of. select one and then you will be prompted to select the other(s). you can confirm and there will be a little number next to them to show if they’ve performed a special lesson or not. in my screenshot for the lessons menu you can see an otoya, a masato, a tokiya, a syo, and a reiji card each that have performed one special lesson each.

here is a look at the memorial board. just as with the lessons menu you can choose any of your cards in order to enter the memorial board to fill out using either the moon, the sun, or the star tokens to unlock side stories, costumes, quotes, and to idolize your cards. this can also increase the strength of your cards as well. if you do not have enough tokens you can choose to use your gems in order to unlock things,

a special note: for quick gems for scouting fill out your memorial boards with all of your normal cards you received from the tutorial. they each have one story and by viewing each story you can get 5 gems for each boy.

here is the bromide(?) menu. here you can view the cards you own. it is pretty straightforward.

here is the medal/token exchange. here you can sell your cards for specific medals/tokens. red is confirm and the white next to it is to cancel. clicking the button underneath the medals/tokens will bring you to this menu.

here is where you can use your tokens/medals to exchange for various items such as better tokens/medals, tokens for your memorial board, and backgrounds.

and finally we have the menu.

album: album of all the cards. you can only look at the ones you own.

shop: where you can purchase gems, lp, and extra member slots.

medal exchange: covered above

inventory: where you can check the gems, tokens, tickets, etc that you have.

profile: where you can view and edit your profile.

settings: general settings such as bgm volume and voice volume

live settings: where you can change things for the lives such as speed of notes and calibration.

help: general help

data transfer: where you can choose to connect your account to twitter ids/etc in case of wanting to change phones or as general back-up so you do not lose your account.
