Stay tuned for Rank F events in Story Mode!

I remember Overmaster is locked in Perfect Sun until you unlock Hibiki in Office mode.

So it's really just Jupiter that has unplayable songs? Hm. Well, I'm still excited to see the rest of this. :)

RANK F - Let's Be Idols!

Now that the girls have made their national debut and have become full-fledged idols, Kenji can now produce his unit as he chooses. Lessons to boost their skills, Promotions to gain memories, and Auditions and Live Concerts to boost their publicity and fan count.

As the idols gain more fans, almost enough to reach Rank E, the President decides it’s finally time to let Kenji’s group perform in their first festival. There’s a position open in the White Lotus Festival, where several up-and-coming idols go to perform. Kenji and the President both think it’s a perfect start. The White Lotus Festival gathers people from all over Japan. Perhaps an event like this could lead to even greater publicity and more potential fans.

As the unit arrives at the White Lotus stage for the event to begin, they run into the second group of idols who will perform at the festival: Ai, Eri, and Ryo of 876Pro. While they have gained modest popularity through their solo careers, they’ve only just begun working as a unit. Kenji figures a unit like them will be a decent test of his idols’ training up to this point. Still, they are very friendly and wish Kenji’s unit good luck. After a little cheer, Kenji’s idols take the stage.

FESTIVAL: White Lotus vs 876Pro - "HELLO!!"
This is pretty much meant to be an introduction to Festival gameplay. Ai, Eri, and Ryo will mix up their appeals or go for the current trend, so be ready to defend against anything. Use Memory Appeals to get your Voltage up quickly in order to perform your Burst Appeals. Just because this Fes is easily won doesn’t mean it can be lost. Just perform your best like you would do at a live concert and you’ll do just fine. If you’re playing in Hyper difficulty, 876Pro will become more aggressive with their appeals and target your unit’s weakness. Whatever your unit’s lowest stat is where they will focus their appeals. If your unit is pretty balanced, they will focus on the current trend for bonus points.
You must win this battle to advance the story!
Ai appeals to Vocal
Eri appeals to Visual
Ryo appeals to Dance

Both performances went over well, but ZetaPro was able draw in the bigger audience. Kenji’s unit celebrates their first successful festival performance. Kenji then goes over to comfort Ai after she bursts into tears from the loss.

That evening, the President saw the girls on the news today. They did a phenomenal job. Now for even better news: their performance at the White Lotus Festival gained them enough fans to reach Rank E! This means they will get more job offers and performance opportunities. However, while Kaito is sifting through the mail, he finds an anonymous red letter with a dragon motif. An anonymous writer threatens ZetaPro to disband their unit, saying they are disgraces to the idol world. The idols get a little worried, but Kenji figures it’s probably just blind hate mail from people just trying to get attention. With the mood brightening up once again, the idols head home for the week, eagerly anticipating the new jobs they’ll receive.

Was this angry letter just from a troll? Or is somebody really out to get them?

Nonono is awesome. I've never watched PreCure (I want to though, one day) though. But yeah, I can imagine Miku singing like Nonono.

RANK E – The Invincible Rival

Kenji and his idol unit continue their work as before. This time, more job offers and new festivals become available to them. He might also be able to trigger some special events with his leader to bond and learn a little more about her (these events are required if you’re shooting for the True Ending).

As the girls gain enough fans to reach Rank D, the President finds an opening at the upcoming Sunny Beach Festival. According to the listings, 765Pro has been scheduled to perform there. If Kenji’s idols can perform well against them, their national awareness will increase significantly. The girls are fired up for next week. Just as they take their leave for the week, a couple of shady figures appear to have been eavesdropping on their conversation. They seek to put their plan into motion next week…

On the week of the festival, Kenji is in for a big surprise. Just before his unit arrived at the venue, 765Pro’s time slot was bought out by another idol. The staff does apologize for the sudden change, but ZetaPro will have to perform against this idol instead. Kagura, Maya, or Himeko will show up depending on your unit’s leader. Kenji wishes her good luck, but she claims she doesn’t need luck as the winner of this competition has already been decided (Maya, however, only wishes for a good challenge). Kenji and the idols get a mysterious and powerful vibe from this girl. Still, they really want to get out there and perform their hardest—harder than ever before.

FESTIVAL: Sunny Beach vs. Kagura/Maya/Himeko – Koi wa Sensou/FREEDOM/Kocchi Muite Baby
NAZO’s solo idol is just too powerful to be beaten at this stage of the game. She’ll pile on the points, Memory Appeals, and Burst Appeals like crazy and will likely cause several accidents among your unit.
Much like the first festival against Ryuuguu Komachi in iM@S2, this is a forced loss. Even if you do manage to score enough to defeat her, it still counts as a loss. This loss causes your unit’s tension to drop to dangerous levels.

After ZetaPro’s humiliating loss, their opponent comes along to rub it in their face. Kagura claims they are not taking their jobs seriously, thinking this is just a game. Himeko sees them as lowly “peons” who don’t stand a chance against perfect “royalty” like her. Maya is only disappointed from the lack of a good challenge. According to their producer, it doesn’t really help that Kenji is an incompetent fool who only got this far out of sheer luck. In order to prevent even further humiliation, she demands they disband their unit, claiming them to be complete disgraces as idols. Otherwise, she will come back and crush their unit even harder than before. After the girl leaves, Kenji recalls what she says—it was probably this girl who sent that red letter ZetaPro received not too long ago. Kenji and the idols disappointedly return to the office.

The President is not surprised with the idols’ loss today. It turns out their opponent is actually a member of NAZO. No wonder they couldn’t win. It soon becomes apparent that the morale of the idols is dangerously low, from low self-esteem to arguments to falling-outs. It takes a bit of effort, but Kenji manages to calm his unit down. Just forget about this loss and move on. The idols feel a bit better, but are still a bit depressed as they leave for the week.

That night, Kagura/Maya/Himeko is seen chatting with a mysterious figure, who is apparently NAZO’s producer. He congratulates his idol on a job well done as always. He’s now convinced that he is rid of that “low-class scum.”

Kenji’s really in a jam now. How will he be able to help the idols bounce back? Will he be able to fix their broken bonds? What does NAZO have against ZetaPro? Will Kenji have to face NAZO again?
