I'm still a newbie with this game, can someone tell me what is that "REPORT!!" at the top of the unit's name?

That means you have a reporter following you.

That means you have the special effects from a specific reporter, which last 4 weeks (including the week you get him/her). I think in the status screen shows the reporter name. You can look his/her name up to see what effects you currently have.

Does anyone know when BK Maniac has their 10% off sale or is it completely random?

I'm pretty sure it's random. I tried looking it up as well on this app I have and it has no info.

In week 3, Iori asked something, and I found myself in the vending machines, and I was  stuck there, you know I don't really understand Japanese, so which one should I choose?

[Chiz]

@Filly Avoid the vending machine, I believe it is the choice to the right.

If you're already in the vending machine scene, there's a translation on YT
Also this should help

Do appeals during the Stage Scenes do anything in terms of gameplay/sales, or are they just for fun? I get the feeling I've been missing out by just letting it play...

I'm a bit confused by the Break/Keep/Revival stuff. Is it random? How obvious is it when one triggers?

For fun.

And I don't think it's random, there's something about in the manual and also if you look back farther in this thread (try the first page index) you can find more information.

[Daverost]

It's obvious enough when they trigger. You'll see an icon on the rankings when it happens. One of them didn't have an icon on the 360 version, but they added one for the PS3 version, so if you're playing PS3, you'll know for sure when you get each one. I was thinking it was Keep, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

They're random as long as you meet the requirements. In other words, there's no guarantee you'll get it, but there's always something you have to do to have a chance.

[DarkMorford]

Ah, okay. Thanks, guys.

By the way, I noticed the word KEEP show up during a Dance lesson the other night when I wasn't doing so well. Does that have anything to do with the sales "keep" or is it a different concept?

You may have figured this out by now, but that "keep" IS a different keep. When the pace/play of the dance lesson cannot go any faster or slower, it will say "keep" instead of "Level Up!" or "Level Down".

does anybody know when is the timing for the final appeal for the vamp kyun song?
