Hmm, is it important to get your unit to the highest level in Hyper mode? Also, would 2 memory appeals cut it in Hyper?

If you want S rank, the minimum idol requirement is 16. This is what BT2 and I were talking about earlier - that you're going to waste a little time for S rank because it's incredibly unlikely you'll have both image 16 and level 5 memory at exactly the same time, if you stick to a single lesson + promotion tactic.
In fact, the total requirements for S rank are:
True ending (All IA regions and the IA grand prix award)
Image level 16
Number 1 on the charts
6.5 million single sales total or above
No repeats
You're probably not going to win the IA regional awards if you have 2 memory appeals, since they all seem to cheat (Usually, they can outvolt you without appeal alterations).
Personally, I can't do it on 3 except if I get lucky with the IA contestant at least early on. I generally get 4 memory appeals before week 30, and start playing whack a IA regional on week 20-22. I don't generally lose IAs (or other festivals) after week 30.
You generally don't use appeals in audition mode, though. In Hyper mode, festivals take a bigger role, only because it's an easy way to score 40000 fans in a single week and still get paid for it. Namely, beating up Miku for fans and profit.

S Rank reqs:
-I thought as much.
-How much weeks would you have to spend on training?
-Oh man, haven't got number 1 on the Dotop TV charts so far...ugh.
-For 6.5 million fans (I would think that's 65, then 0000), festivals and paid promotions are the way to go?
-As for no repeats, is that the screen where you can try again if you lose an event?
Man, I should also prepare to go through some playthroughs just getting money to buy sets from both Lucky Rabbit and Bk Maniac.

To answer the questions...
On hyper, it's more practical to do as many paid promotionals with single slot lessons until you get the fanbase to make an endrun at an IA, hit image level 16, or you know you'll be fine. (Regular promotions net you about 1/3 the paid, but considering that paid ones cost like 30-50k, and regular promotions give you 20-40k, you can see that tapering off can help)
That number 1 can happen at any time (although I very much doubt you'd get into the top 10 until the thrd release without a super break). It is incredibly unlikely that you'll sneak in a number 1 on hyper mode without either revivals or a break.
(In normal, a good player should be able to nail a number 1 by song release 3 or 4.)
(The two common opportunities are either 4th song revival after your last song stops selling, or barring that, breaking the your last song before the end of the game. You'll probably need 3 million sales at this point though, so don't break too late.)
The sales reqiuirement is NOT the number of fans, it is the total number of CD sales you need to make. Having a good happy (red) fan count is important here, but it's important to also have the count.
At top tier, the highest fan gainer is in fact the quintet lives, but you don't always get to pick where they end up. Festivals that permit a 40000 fan gain are available at ALL the areas at all times, so it makes a more flexible option, when you need to get 150000 fans in a region in a specific area.
Paid promotionals give slightly more than the festivals (Assuming top 20 status is gained) but they cost 50000 per use. They however automatically set that region to its highest happy state, so it's a good idea if you've already scored (you need to score once before the song hits the charts, don't forget that) and you can't find a national audition to boost happiness that week.
No repeats explictly refer to the second IA match against RK, and the week 54 match against Jupiter, and you end up using the time warp. Essentially, no hell training allowed. (I believe this applies to the IA elimination week, if you fail to hit the top 20 by week 37 or so, but I don't think I've EVER had that happen to me.)
I've got to resume my Chihaya Hyper run, but I also got to do L4U stuff before that too. I've pretty much exclusively decided to stick to Hyper runs. It's more interesting than the regular game, to be honest, but I DID play the X360 game to death.

Ah, thanks for the help then, Setsuna. Hope you do well on that Hyper run.
