Eh, what reporters are in what areas, anyway?
Maybe I should know from playing through the game but I never actually paid it that much attention ^^; I just do work where it needs to be done and everything else is a side effect...

that's where I'm wondering..I should've reached top 20 by week 17 since I'm doing publicities and fes but I don't know why it's like that..I have pics of my current playthrough at week 22..I'll show you what I have on it..sorry for the blurry image..I don't have my cam with me..oh and sorry I misslead that..it's not 155 by week 15..it's 141..in my 2nd and 3rd gameplay, I'm only on pubs while this 4th I started hitting fes for some money..on my 1st playthrough well it's a total dissaster so I don't wanna remember it..
week 22..
this is my current stats on the areas
here's the ranking after the week:that's my 3rd song release Shiny Smile
Current Top 1..this is where I was surprised..144 at week 22.top 20 is 50+..I was wondering why my sales are too low eventhough I'm only doing fes and pub until my battle at week 20 or 21 if I recall..

If you don't want a different reporter, don't enter their area or if you really want to be in an area, do a paid promotion. Reporters only stick around jobs with stage performances. Still, temporarily doing a job in a different region's the more obvious choice; you'd need the fans later on anyway and assuming the amount you have in that area is low'ish I'd ignore it for a couple of weeks or in case you have a decent amount of fans there do a regular audition to raise awareness or you could go for a national one to bump every area up slightly; it's not like the game forces you to overwrite your reporter boosts because you still have alternatives.

Sigh, people should really pay attention to the interface when they schedule.
It's Q&A time
Look at the lower left part of the screen during scheduling, what do you see there?
_*Ah, it's a pen icon thingy, what's that for anyways?
Good question, next to the little pen icon in the box next to it it'll show the name of the reporter who's currently in the region.
_*Does that mean I can always spam Ariake if I stalk him?
No, you can not, a reporter only stays with your unit for 4 weeks and their boost starts the moment you encounter them including the initial week, in case of Koshiba the lesson reporter you can only use his boost for 3 weeks because lesson boost is useless during a stage, Antaku with his voltage boost is also useless on the initial week, so his effect'll only be useful for 3 weeks as well.
Also, after a reporter leaves you, it takes at least 3 weeks for him to reappear on the map again.
In case you need fans or money, Yamahara is a decent substitute because he gives a 1.2 multiplier on acquired money and fans and also raises voltage gain speed.
Also, like I mentioned in an earlier post, whereas you can manipulate the available jobs in an area by reloading and selecting a different morning greeting, reporter locations are saved.
If you always get the exact same reporters in exactly the same weeks, you'll always get the same reporters in every playthrough because there seems to be a connection between obtaining and leaving reporters.
The regions the reporters are in however seem to be random per playthrough.
Also, because a reporter is in an area doesn't mean they will attach themselves to you.

What's the 2 most important elements for sales, excluding special states again?
Fans and highscore.
Assuming one uses a dual route build one should easily be able to reach top 20 before w9.
A highscore of 32k+ should easilly be doable and with the 2 paid promotions done earlier getting in should be a piece of cake.I should say that doing jobs before reaching top 20 is a waste of time and shouldn't be done.
You're way better of spending all your time training, training and more training.
Assuming you did the paid promos and failed ranking in the top 20 and are stuck in 50'ish , doing a stage and get Koshiba in w7, losing to RK in w10 and reobtaining Koshiba in w13 and train all the time. You should have plenty of fans left, even if you let them deteriorate, and have a good amount of stats to get a decent score.
Also, take a look at my article on bursting in the early months of the game if you're having trouble getting a decent highscore early on.

well..I don't pay attention to that side of the schedule screen..hahaha all I do is keep what I'm used to like in Idolmaster 1 and SP..hahaha time to change..XD
Thanks a lot^^ I'll try to re-explore this game as I progress..time to hit another way/s..tried the national auditions and it jumped my sales from 21-58..just what I need..now i can finally grind some money for the items..^^
Oh yeah..read your article about the HS..Love to try it on my next playthrough^^ for now I'll use what I'm used to^^..my own play style..hehehe

Some more apparent numbers.
All Regular Appeals Voltage UP (small): x1.15.
All Regular Appeals Voltage UP (super): x3.25.
Specific Appeal Voltage UP (medium): x1.35.
Specific Appeal Score UP (small): x1.1.
Values are approximate.
Also, amulets.
Fukunoshin (Voltage Shield): Your enemy can't reduce your Voltage (even with Bursts?). At best, it hiccups for a beat when they appeal. For those of you confident in your high scoring abilities.
Komekama-kun (Voltage Cutter, Explosion): Burst and your rival's Voltage drops to zero. Might be good for Burst lockout, but probably hard.
EDIT: Might be wrong about Fukunoshin. At least he might reduce the Voltage reduced?
