Can you change idol lineup order before song?

[danstrife7]

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying to get a revival for a release going and I learned about the Lucky Stars from Idolm@ster strategy guide translation.

I learned how to increase the chances of lucky stars, however he also said if you put the idol who's song you are singing in the center it helps increase your chances of lucky stars.  (Example: Miki is in your unit, but is not your leader and would like to move her to the center spot when they sing Relations.)

How do you change the order of your idol unit?  Is that even possible or what?  Also sorry if this question has already been asked.

I would appreciate any help.  Thanks for listening.

When you go to an Audition, Festival or Live, the game will give you the choice before sending your idols off to the stage (it's the left option).

Hello Garraboa,

I think I have picked the left option which allows you to change songs, can you change the idol lineup order in there?

I will make sure to check that out.

Thanks for responding and please let me know.

If it gives you three options, it should be the top one. You'll  know when you get to the screen. And you're welcome , but this kind of questions would be better suited to the gameplay thread

Hello Garraboa,

Oh, I think I see what you are getting at.

However when I say change idol lineup order, I am talking about in story mode?  Can you change idol lineup order in story mode?

I have experimented with free selection mode and I get what you are saying, but I am talking about story mode.

Sorry I must have not made that clear.  Thanks again for responding and I appreciate the help.

I guess I could have put it into gameplay thread, I just hoping for a quick respond.  Thanks.

Yes. In story mode, you can change the idol's position right before the audition, live and fes.

I found a video that showcases this option ( skip to 5:13 to see how to access the idol positioning screen)

Hello Garraboa,

I watched the video and you are right.

It is really strange, I am pretty sure I have never gotten that option, not once during story mode.

Do you have to set a option in the main menu in order for it to allow you to change members?

I have never gotten that choice, any idea why?

Thank you for responding, I really appreciate it.

Changing the positioning is only available on a second game or later.

I really appreciate it.  Thanks listening and responding.
