If it's yellow and not the usual colour, it denotes a national audition. The number of fans gained are lower, except that it will be broadcast on national TV, instead of just in the area you're participating in. This also influences nation wide how fans see you. Areas with more excited fans will buy more CDs if it is in the sales period, and more of them will stay with you as the weeks go on.
If it sounds like a good thing, it is, except there are only so many of these national auditons available, so don't use them all up at once. Ideally, you want to use them to boost fan sentiment (The closer to red faced (really excited) the fans are, the more CD sales you'll net) before you proceed to sell, and maybe once during the sales period, to keep them happier.

So these auditions are ones I SHOULD take part in to get better results then?
Setsuna:
Only if there's a point to doing so - If you're not in or nearing a selling period, there's no point in using it - as I said, there's only 2-4 per rank up (Although if you advance (top 50 - top 20), you lose the ability to access the previous set) so if you particularly make a mad dash to the top 20, you'll need to conserve those national auditions to get the maximum effect out of them.
As well, if you're early game, having a small group of fans means that you'll have to be in more places at once to maintain the numbers. Since fan decay is based on how excited they are and is based on a percentage of the fanbase, early on, focusing all your efforts in one or two areas is much better than spreading them out, because you'll lose more fans every week.
iTiffany21:
I had no idea you could lose fans. Maybe that's why the fan count suddenly dropped a couple times in a few regions. (And I was so close to getting 100,000 fans in one of the regions too one time. Dangit!)
Thanks for answering my question!
Naryoril:
the game just got me confused right now
i always thought you need to do a normal live to do a keep.
but i just did a quintet live, the 2 additional idols didn't show up, and charts show a keep for the current song now (which is already on its 7th week and doesn't have any sales to keep)...
does that mean a quintet live counts as a trio live if the 2 guest idols don't show up? thus if you attempt a super break they need to show up in order to get the super break?
