I still don't know what Breaks are.  The wiki called them Keeps, or are those also a different thing?  I couldn't figure how if the description of the Live or Fes would tell me, or if I just had to get lucky.  Anyway, I was able to get one song up to 8th place, while others stayed at 50th and 80th almost constantly.  It was weird to me.

I deliberately failed one of the story events, so I could do Hell Training and earn that PS3 trophy.  Otherwise, I never accepted failure and kept doing Retry until I succeeded ... or reloaded the file to choose a different schedule.  Fortunately I did not have much trouble passing the required concerts.  I got the special amulet from the capital area so I could use it during FIREBALL.  My memory appeal was at Level 3.  I bought out all of the cheaper (under 20K) accessories from the first store, but I have not visited the second store yet.

Also I don't know yet how I managed to win the Grand Prix award.  What's the criteria for it?  I failed to get into Top 20 by week 36, so I had to do the Survivor Audition to get nominated.  But I think all the story-based concerts after that were required wins to advance the plot.  Hm...

Second playthrough will be Yayoi, Takane, Mami.

Break Status means your currently produced song will sell like it was a new release (Plus it has an icon on Dotop TV). Keeps don't have an icon, and simply repeat last weeks sales.

Also, to win the IA award, you need 300k fans and a song in the top 10 on week 55.

PS. How do you unlock that amulet? Everywhere I read doesn't quite explain it clearly enough for me.

Crisu:
Are Breaks like Revivals or are those also different?  ^^;;

I don't think I had 300k fans.  I got 10k fans in three regions to unlock the special festival but could only win two of them.  I did get the Top 10 in week 55, so maybe that was it.  And I have 2.5 million CD sales according to my results graphic, so maybe that contributed to winning IAGP.

The special amulet is obtainable after winning the special festival in the home/capital area.  You don't get it for free; it costs 50,000 money.  Winning the special festival in the other 5 regions gets you the IA awards, but the fes in the home area gives you the opportunity to buy the amulet.

That FES was a huge pain for me.  I'm not sure if the opponent's playstyle is always the same for a special FES, but assuming it is, mine charged the burst bar four times to my one.  Once I picked up the voltage-boosting reporter and switched an anti-multiplier drain amulet (Niku-Wan) to a voltage-boosting one (Sugamo), I beat it.

That's what we have for the IA award for the 360. Maybe they lowered the requirement for Normal Mode like almost everything else. Also, it seems strange that beating the special festival (Xillia, I believe for PS3, Vesperia for 360) unlocks that amulet, it definitely did not when I played the 360 version.
