RitsuFan:
Kirbysim, can you say exactly what you mean by 'True' ending? I am afraid I do not understand. I am still working on my How To Play, and want to get terms correct in it.

What does True ending mean? what are the exact requirements?

Can anyone please tell me, I have some questions;
1) How can I unlock Ryugu Komachi clothes and Ritsuko?
2) How many clothes shops are there, and how to unlock those shops?
3) How can I gain the other rewards from Idol Academy?
4) Is there a way to edit the song singing in S4U mode similar to L4U ?
Thank you.

Sorry, I saw your post while eating but I forgot to reply to it. -__-;

1) You need to have good communication with her and RK everytime you speak to her (or just at week 30/40, I can't remember). I unlocked her and the RK clothes the first time without even realising it, simply by picking the most polite response everytime... will have to get back to you on what the responses are though. It's somewhere on the Japanese wiki I posted.

Once you unlock Ritsuko for quintet live, finishing that playthrough will give you the RK costume.

2) Two shops. Lucky Rabbit and BK Maniac. If you buy enough stuff from Lucky Rabbit/visit Lucky Rabbit enough in one playthrough (not sure which) you will unlock BK Maniac in the upper center area. It's two tabs to the left of the capital/Lucky Rabbit area.

3) Have 100,000 (10万) fans in one area to unlock the 歌姫・歌王子 Fes. Clear that to unlock the the special award for that area. There are 5 special awards (Snow White, Forest Green, etc) meaning there isn't one for 首都/capital.

However, if you get 100,000 fans in the capital area there is also a 歌姫 Fes there. Clearing that will give you the chance to buy the Namkyara Dancho omamori (Namco Character leader amulet) for 50,000yen.

Is that what you mean by "IA special rewards"?

4) I'm producer rank 4 and I still don't have it, so I'm guessing, no.

You cannot

With the dump -> Danketsu strategy, what's the general breakdown of your scores (as in total score, points from combo bonus, points from burst appeal)? It'd be great if these numbers would assume a full Perfect combo, but eh...

Also, numbers for Revival? I assume it continues the same 1.00 -> 0.75 -> 0.50 -> 0.25 -> 0.00 trend.

I never recorded my auditions so I don't know the exact breakdown, but my total score from week 30 onwards is about 40~45,000. End game is 55,000.

Using that strategy I described, my Dance appeal gave me like 170 per appeal, and I use Dance to bump up my Visual to about 1.30, which gives me like 350 per appeal. During Burst the Vocal Burst with 3.00x is 1000~1200, can't remember.

Just make sure you hold your second burst until near the end of the song and you should get a high score easily. On my first playthrough there were times I couldn't clear the Lv10 National Auditions. But that was because I didn't use the Burst Appeal at the end to "extend" my score.

Don't know what the revival numbers are, but I've had it happened twice now. And each time it's always been roughly 1.00, 0.75, 0.50, 0.25.

1. I am not 100% sure that every step I am mentioning is required, just telling you what worked for me.
- You have to answer the questions asked by Ritsuko on week 8 and week 30 correctly.
- Between week 8 and week 30, make sure you invite all three 竜宮小町 members to your quintet live at least once.
- If everything goes well, you should be able to invite Ritsuko to your quintet live after week 30.
- I think they have to actually show up to your live to count.

2. 2 shops. Not sure how I unlocked the 2nd shop actually..maybe it has something to do with buying enough stuff from the 1st shop.

3. For EACH area except Tokyo, gain 100k fans, then win the 歌姫・歌王子 Fes that shows up.

I can confirm you don't need to invite them to your quintet live between 8 and 30. The only time I ever did a quintet live in my first playthrough was at week 48, and I invited Ritsuko and Azusa.

The important thing is the communication part. I think if you unlock Ritsuko for quintet live you should be able to get the costume.

--- End quote ---

From what I understand there are four endings. However, I've only seen the Good and True Ends:

Good End = Win the IA Grand Prix award + some of the special category awards (Snow White, Green Forest, etc)
True End = Win the IA Grand Prix award + ALL of the special category awards (Snow White, Green Forest, etc)

For the Good and True Ends, they're pretty much the same EXCEPT True End has one more cutscene after the credits finish, entailing what happens after you leave Japan for Hollywood.

Ending spoilers:
In Chihaya's case, it's that you come back after one year and takes her to Hollywood.
In Miki's case, she takes another flight to Hollywood immediately after seeing you off, and SOMEHOW makes it to Hollywood before you. She basically wants to be your lover/wife and be here with you all the time, so you figure you might as well producer her in Hollywood.

******

The other two ends (let's call it Bad End and Normal End) happens when the following conditions are met:

Bad End = Don't win anything
Normal End = Win some of the special category awards (Snow White, etc)

I have never seen these before, so I can't comment on what they're like. But I hear that the Bad End is more commonly referred to as the "A Capella" end, and in the Normal End something happens to the producer's flight.

RitsuFan:
Someone above asked about the Awareness and fans drop. The translation is correct. If awareness (the most smiling face) is not at the highest level, the number of fans in that area will drop.

Note that "number of fans" and "awareness" are not connected - you do not get a smile just because you have many fans. They are two different attributes.
