Name: Nakamura Kyoko
Age: 17
B-W-H: 80-58-78
Hobbies: Skeeball, Hockey
Image Color: Dark Blue
Kyoko is Kenchi's twin sister and part of the reason why they are all idols now. She agreed readily when Kyou and Kenchi decided to become idols. Kyoko had talent, but her laziness prevented her from improving too much, meaning she wasn't good enough to be invited to the All-Stars. Still, she was quick to encourage Kenchi to take the opportunity.
Kyoko's dance stat is, like Kyou's, very low. She doesn't put much effort into getting better at dancing and, while she can dance, her dancing requires a lot of work.
Kyoko's visual stat is her highest stat. She has a pretty face and is quite attractive, which is only aided by her tendency to deck out in jewelry (particularly two long, elegant earrings she's almost always wearing)  and make-up. Still, she doesn't like to spend too much time making herself perfect and can look a bit awkward some days.
Kyoko's vocal stat is decently high. She can sing and sings quite well, but she isn't in the business of improving and her voice could use work, especially in the technical areas.
Kyoko's character is decent at best. She's lazy and a big eater, often prioritizing a bite to eat over lessons. But those who truly know Kyoko can vouch that she can be very mature and level-headed when she needs to and is a great source of moral support. She's also fiercely protective over those she loves and was the first to defend Kenchi from their parents when they were children.
Best Match: Hikasa Yoko
Rival: None
Best Friend: Kenchi and Kyou
Fun Fact: Kyoko is the first girl born to the Nakamura family in three generations. Kyoko is also the polar opposite in Kenchi in many ways, like Kyou: she's lazy, somewhat inconsiderate, and quick to lash out.

((And now you've met all the Nakamura children. I actually really love them all. Even Kyou.))


ONWARDS, AOSHIMA!!!

I don't know why, but I'm imagining Kyou with black hair and wearing a dark blue trenchcoat.  ;)

As for Kyoko...lazy? Yoko Hikasa? Sounds like Hotaru has some competition (except the latter's vocal is higher than her visual, though they are both very high).

Well, the black hair part is right. :P And now that you mention it, I'm starting to realize that he probably WOULD just walk around town in a trench coat.
Course, he'd probably definitely get arrested for looking like being a molester...

Don't worry, Kyoko's lazy but passionate. :P But I didn't even realize they had the same VA. Why do I keep doing this...? ;D

Thanks for your support, by the way. :D

Finished some more extra profiles!

Name: Hajimari Shiori
Age: 21
B-W-H: 93-60-91
Hobbies: Stamp collecting, Cooking
Image Color: Pastel Green
Shiori became an idol for one reason and one reason only—to become popular. She is extremely passive-agressive, maybe even bipolar, and her sudden fury often scared away potential friends. Because of this, Shiori grew up extremely lonely, and longed to make herself known to the world as a pleasant and bubbly woman. With encouragement from her best friend, Kenai, and her parents (who she has refused to move away from), she decided to become an idol.
Shiori's dance stat is actually quite high. She's talented at dance styles like ballet and ballroom, while her problem lies with pop or jazz or hip-hop. Still, Shiori's movements are always fluid and smooth.
Shiori's visual stat is quite high due to her lovely appearance, but not quite as high as her vocal.
Shiori's vocal stat is her highest stat, due to her pretty, lilting voice. While she can be a bit awkward in her voice, she still had enough talent to be considered for the All-Stars (until Uane beat her out).
Shiori's character is complicated. While most of the time she is very sweet, and a bit of an “Onee-chan” type character, when irritated, even over something tiny, she explodes in fury and goes on a rampage...only to go right back to being sweet and innocent when she's done. She's definitely a very hard one to handle.
Best Match: Takahashi Mikako
Rival: No one, but everyone at the same time
Best Friend: Everyone, but no one at the same time
Fun Fact: Shiori was named after Kazami Shun's mom, which was the first time I ever heard the name Shiori. I liked it and chose it for this character. ...My name inspirations are weird. Shiori's kind and pleasant side is nicknamed “Shiroi”, a bit of a pun on her name, in romaji, being only a letter off from “Shiroi”, meaning “white” (but I'm pretty sure all of you know that). Her angry, demanding side is called “Akai Shiori”, or “Red Shiori”.
When Shiori is angry, she has a habit of calling out, “GUYAAH!”
Shiori is also desperately in love with Makoto and greatly intimidates Yukiho. Actually, she intimidates Makoto too, who is honestly terrified that Shiori will assault her one day.
Poor girls.

((Side note from me: So many of these girls ended up in love with Makoto because I'M in love with Makoto. XD So yeah. My feelings transferred to my characters.
It actually goes for Yori too, since Yori like, IS me, but she's too indifferent to do anything about it.
Also, in almost every other work I do, I put careful attention towards not paying too much attention to Makoto, and almost all of my fanfictions either focus on each girl equally or divide equal attention between a few of the girls. Some of them just have a main character who flat-out isn't Makoto.
SO I HAVE NO REGRETS.))

Name: Shingetsu Izuni
Age: 15
B-W-H: 76-56-73
Hobbies: Sketching, Motivational speaking
Image Color: Mahogany
Izuni is the kind of girl that prefers helping others to helping herself. Ever since she was little, she's loved trying to make everyone feel good about themselves and find a way to live up to her potential, and she often took place in speech clubs in school. It was when Izuni was fourteen that she discovered idols, and decided to try and become an idol whose songs could inspire the world. Unfortunately, her hard work wasn't quite enough to get her into the All-Stars, but Grace feels that in many ways, Izuni could be one of the group's biggest rivals.
Izuni's dance stat is among the best, at least among the other 331 Pro girls (and boy). She's great at memorizing choreography and has an impeccable sense of rhythm. With a little extra work, Grace feels she'll be able to surpass even Benima.
Izuni's visual stat is quite average. While her appearance is certainly unique (due in part to her dyed-blonde hair), she lacks the physical features to really appear beautiful.
Izuni's vocal stat is quite high. She puts a lot of feeling into her songs no matter what she's singing and has a great time using her songs to move people. Still, she can be  bit shaky and lacks skill in many of the technical aspects of singing, but she's working hard.
Izuni may have one of the best characters of anyone, ever—even being high enough to be nearly on par with Aime's. Because Izuni puts all her effort into helping others, she's always smiling and never upset. Still, Izuni can be a bit of a loudmouth and is quite a handful.
Best Match: LiSA
Rival: Hibiki, in a friendly way.
Best Friend: Byakura
Fun Fact: Izuni's last name was chosen based off of Shingetsu Joseph from Idolmaster: Xenoglossia.

((And with Izuni, 331's extra girls are done! Three more from DP, and then I'm going to post a quick lowdown on the best way to achieve each girl's best ending through her interactions. ...or his, in the case of Kenchi (and Kyou, who actually has a best ending himself). Stay tuned!))

Name: Toyaguchi Megumi
Age: 17
B-W-H: 91-57-72
Hobbies: Studying, Photography
Image Color: Pale Orange
Megumi is, despite her glasses, a total moron. This frustrates Megumi beyond belief, and she wishes desperately to become intelligent like all her friends. For whatever reason, her search for knowledge leads her to a career as an idol (she was likely inspired by the genius Ritsuko). She is hoping to one day  acquire genius-level intelligence through her career.
Megumi's dance stat is decent. She can certainly dance, but she has trouble with timing and is a bit scatterbrained, leading to her forgetting steps quite often.
Megumi's visual stat is decently high, due to her attractive face. Despite her large glasses and the fact that those glasses are often the point of teasing from her classmates, she really is quite pretty.
Megumi's vocal stat is quite high, though not quite as high as her visual (though they are very nearly evenly matched). She has a nice voice, though it gets a bit awkward when her notes get too high or too low.
Megumi's character is average. She's good-natured, but also easily discouraged, especially when she happens to be caught during a test period at school when all her focus is on studying.
Best Match: Fujita Saki
Rival: Ritsuko, in a friendly way. Megumi admires Ritsuko's intelligence and wants to be like her one day.
Best Friend: Fuyu
Fun Fact: I named her after Toyoguchi Megumi, a voice actress I like. Also her name is catchy to say, especially the Western way. Megumi Toyoguchi. Megumi Toyoguchi. Megumi Toyoguchi. AHAHA~. <3 A shame I couldn't make Megumi's chosen voice actress Toyoguchi Megumi.

((Random note: When looking back over Megumi's profile, I accidentally read her hobby "photography" as pornography. And I was freaking out, because, "HOLY FISHSTICKS, WHEN DID I WRITE THAT?!" Then I read it again and realized it really was "photography" after all. I do that a lot...))

Name: Orihime Miageteru/“Mia”
Age: 16
B-W-H: 81-52-79
Hobbies: Cloudgazing, Dressing up
Image Color: Salmon Pink
Mia was raised in a rich family to be a refined and pleasant young lady. Unfortunately for her parents, that was far from the truth. Despite her cute and refined appearance, Mia is a bit of a rebel. She always had a nice voice, but it was a voice that conflicted greatly with her appearance. In order to get more in touch with her “wild side” and thus make her appearance match her voice, Mia joined Dreamland Pro as an idol.
Mia's dance is actually quite low, especially when she's dancing to hip-hop songs. Despite her desire to appear as more of a punk, Mia is very fond of ballet, and does dances like that quite well, if not slow. Her rhythm is almost always at least a bit off.
Mia's visual is high, though not higher than her vocal. Her appearance is described as “elegant lolita princess” by her president, Usagi. While Mia is the perfect blend of “rich young miss” and “cute little darling”, she's a little awkward about her appearance and spends long nights trying to make herself look like a punk, to no avail (maybe she needs lessons from Gin).
Mia's vocal stat is her highest, due to the work she puts into it. While it's a little weird at times (especially considering how cutesy she looks and how deep her voice is), she still has a fair amount of talent.
Mia's character is decent. She can be spoiled and hard to handle, but when it comes down to it, Mia will always be a loyal friend.
Best Match: Eir Aoi
Rival: Iori, in a friendly way.
Best Friend: Chiharu
Fun Fact: Mia is the only idol of mine aside from Kenchi who is almost always addressed by her nickname (Mia).

Name: Haruno Akita
Age: 14
B-W-H: 79-59-89
Hobbies: Track & Field, Horseshoes
Image Color: Crimson
Akita has had a crush on her classmate Jirou for as long as anyone could remember...but has always been too shy to say anything. Still, Akita didn't become an idol to get famous enough that he'd love her...no, that wasn't her motivation at all. Akita worked hard to become an idol to gain confidence in talking to boys. She wants to get better at winning over a crowd, and when she feels she has the confidence to do anything, she wants to finally confess to the love of her life. Her earnest feelings and hard work make Grace believe that out of all the Dreamland Pro idols, Akita's the one to watch out for.
Akita's dance stat is her highest stat. She's athletic and has great stamina, making it easier to go for hours without stopping. Her movements are sharp when need be and fluid when need be. In fact, Grace sees Akita's dancing as on par with Izuni's, and is waiting for the day when the two girls will reach the level of idols such as Hibiki and Natsu.
Akita's visual stat is average. While she's an attractive girl, she's also very average in appearance and really doesn't stand out.
Akita's vocal stat is slightly above average, but could still use work. Her voice and her range are impressive, though she still has problems with really expressing her feelings in her songs.
Akita's character is high, though not as high as the likes of Yayoi or Aime or Izuni. She's pleasant to be around and very good-natured and friendly, but she gets discouraged easily and has a bit of a temper if you get on her bad side. Akita is also still awkward when talking to boys and sometimes says something that sounds weird in front of her male fans.
Best Match: Sawashiro Miyuki
Rival: None
Best Friend: Kurosaki Jirou, a boy in her class who she has a crush on.
Fun Fact: Akita was originally named Aki and was created as part of a “project” to have an idol for every season (“Fuyu” is winter, “Haru” is spring, “Natsu” is summer, and “Aki” is autumn), but her name was changed at the last second to avoid conflict with one of my little sister's idol OCs who was also named Aki.

((This concludes the extra profiles. In just a second, I'll post the list I mentioned earlier, from both sides: the All-Stars, and the extra batch. I may go back and write one up from the original cast's perspective too.))

Enra, Benima, and Uane: No matter the amount of interaction they have with the other girls, their ending will not change. These three are antisocial anyhow, so whether they form bonds with the others, ignore them completely, or have a medium amount of interactions with them, they will not change.
Kenchi and Byakura: Their interactions with Kyoko, Kyou, and Izuni, and with Makoto (Kenchi) or Chihaya (Byakura) are CRITCALLY important to getting their true endings. If Kenchi doesn't interact with his siblings either more than half of the time or all the time, they begin to think he treasures his idol job above them and they develop ill feelings towards Kenchi. Kenchi is so depressed that he quits as an idol before his true ending can be reached. If Byakura doesn't interact with Izuni either more than half of the time or all the time, the pressure of being an idol and all the negative things that happen just become too much and she suffers a mental breakdown.  Failure to allow Kenchi to interact with Makoto enough throws him into a state of “withdrawal” and he begins almost hallucinating that nearly everyone he sees is his beloved “girlfriend”. Eventually, it becomes so bad that his siblings have to pull him out of the idol world completely. Failure to allow Byakura to interact with Chihaya enough will cause her to start believing that she'll never be as good as Chihaya, and that she's useless. No amount of coaxing from Producer will get her to lighten up, and Byakura either quits (if you would have gotten her perfect ending aside from her interactions with Chihaya) or suffers from a severe panic attack onstage and is forced into retirement (if your treatment of her throughout was just so-so).
Koko, Natsuki, Neku, Chiharu, Guru, Aime and Ruka: To achieve these girl's true endings, they must interact with the others, though the amount they interact with them doesn't matter. As long as they have chances to be around other people, it's alright.
Natsu&Nami, Mariko, Haru, Hiromi, Fuyu, and Soumin: These girls will operate best when interacting with the others half of the time or more. While it isn't CRITICALLY important that they get to interact with the groups constantly, they appreciate spending time with people. If you fail to let them interact with the others enough, they will feel upset and will fail to cheer up enough for a proper final concert.
Hiromi in particular achieves a special true ending if you allow her to interact with Nakamura Kyou as much as possible. Her best true ending involves her marrying Kyou and both of them retiring as idols. Hiromi's true ending can still be achieved without this addition, but she seems her happiest if you do let her see Kyou.
Yori: Yori is the only idol of the group whose true ending can only be achieved by having her interact with others the LEAST amount possible. While Yori is about the same level of antisocial as Uane, Benima, and Enra, she is also incredibly socially awkward, a loner, and even a tad bit shy. Yori is very content with her friends and doesn't really want to get heavily involved with more. She often claims that most of her problems stem from her always having to help everyone she knows with THEIR problems. If you make Yori interact with the others too much, her true ending will be negated by all the people she “bonded” with bombarding her with their problems. Yori breaks down and loses her indifferent composure for (possibly) the first time you've ever known her and admits that she can't stand having to always be strong and take care of other people. She admits that she's just getting way too stressed out and she can't handle having so my problems thrown at her to solve. If you would have gotten her true ending aside from interactions, Producer is given one last chance to calm her down (through a touch interaction). Failure to properly complete this final test (by any means of comforting and meaningful contact, like a brief caress of the face or a prolonged touch on the shoulder) results in Yori realizing that she can't even rely on Producer and reluctantly quitting as an idol. If your treatment of Yori throughout was so-so or just plain bad on top of her interactions being too many, you will not receive your final chance to comfort her and keep her around as an idol and she will just quit, admitting that she's not even sad. Her indifference has extended to her idoldom.
The exceptions are if you limit Yori's time with everyone EXCEPT Kyoko, Izuni, Chihaya, and Takane. If Yori interacts with Kyoko more often than usual, her true ending can still be achieved. This is because Kyoko shares her indifference and will not bombard her with problems, thus activating her little nervous breakdown.
Chihaya and Takane are very mature, and also would not be the types to bombard Yori with problems. Thus, interacting with Chihaya and Takane can actually prove to be good for Yori, and may help cancel the effects of her talking to others too much. If you fear you may have given Yori too much time with others, let her talk to Chihaya or Takane more.
Izuni is training to be a motivational speaker, so some time with her is good for Yori. However, you must be careful with letting these two interact—if Yori talks to Izuni too many times in a row, she'll begin to get very annoyed and you'll be back to where you started.

As for the extra group:

Megumi: Nothing much happens no matter what kind of relationship your idol forms with her, but the more Fuyu talks with her, the more likely she is to achieve a true ending since the two are best friends.
Mia: Like Megumi, no matter what relationships your idol has with her, their ending will not change. Chiharu's true ending is easier to achieve if you let her talk to Mia often.
Akita: No matter the relationship anyone has with her, their ending will not change.
Gin: Gin is very troublesome. If your idol completely ignores her, nothing much happens. If they bond with her, they are more likely to get a true ending. If they have medium interactions with her, however, most of them (the exceptions being Uane, Enra, and Benima) will not be able to achieve a true ending. If Gin is unable to bond with anyone, her OWN bad ending comes into play, and she eventually dies from an accident induced by drunk driving. The idol that spoke with her, but didn't bond with her, will hear this news and become incredibly saddened that she(/he) couldn't do anything to save her. If the idol DOES bond with Gin, she is able to quit smoking and drinking through a long and painful process with the idol's help.
Shiori: Interactions with Shiori don't really matter...unless your idol of choice is either Kenchi or Natsu. Shiori, like Kenchi, has an obsession with Makoto and will stop at NOTHING to destroy everyone who gets in her way. Too many interactions between Kenchi and Shiori may cause Kenchi to enter Dark Kenchi mode more often and could negate his true ending by causing him to fall into his “withdrawal” ending. This can be negated by having him interact with Makoto at every opportunity.
Natsu is less severe, but causing her to be around Shiori too much will cause her own crush on Makoto to surface, and she may become very cross. It won't have a big affect on her, but it may cause problems with her relationships.
Miyuzaki: If your idol of choice is Haru, interactions with Miyuzaki are a good thing, but are not critically important. Other than that, Miyuzaki can be basically ignored without it causing problems.
Kyoko: Kyoko can be ignored without consequence unless your idol of choice is Kenchi. If Kenchi is not allowed to interact with Kyoko enough, she will become cross and becomes so upset that her relationship with him deteriorates and she begins to almost hate him. This upsets Kenchi so much that he quits.
Kyoko is also one of the only idols that can interact with Yori more than half of the times possible without activating her bad ending.
Kyou: Much like Kyoko, interactions with Kyou only matter if your idol of choice is Kenchi. Failing to let Kenchi speak to Kyou enough makes Kyou cross with his little brother, so much that he begins to ignore Kenchi, who gets so upset that he quits.
Also, to achieve Kyou's own true ending, you must let Hiromi interact with him a large amount of times. If you do, Kyou and Hiromi get married.
Izuni: Izuni is a lot like Kyou and Kyoko in that the only time it matters how many times she interacts with others is with Byakura. Failure to let Byakura talk to Izuni enough will result in Byakura's nervous breakdown. Other than Byakura, it doesn't matter.
Having Yori interact with Izuni can help cancel out letting her talk to others too often, since Izuni likes to help people with problems instead of load people with problems. A dose of Izuni's speeches once in a while will help Yori to relax. Too much time with Izuni, however, will negate this and make Yori extremely annoyed.

No! It's too cruel! :'(  I will never let it happen! 8)

I think your idea of interaction conception is excellent! Now I'm not just looking forward, I CANNOT WAIT for the stories! And I like Megumi, by the way. ^-^

I'm glad you think so! You'll make an excellent producer to her. XD

Thank you! I quite like it too. Also, I'm glad you like Megumi. So do I. ;D

Kenchi's (spoiler-filled) communication is now complete. I'm going to write out a lesson with Byakura and an audition with Neku, and when that's done I'll upload it all somewhere and let you guys read it so you can get a feel for how things are gonna go. Then I'll get started actually writing things in order. XD

*trumpet fanfare* It's done!

I've written out a few examples of how the story will be, and now have an example of every type of chapter there will be (communication, story event, lesson, and audition). It's been uploaded as a private document on Scribd (but you guys can still read it with this link) and I now release it to the Project iM@S public!

**Warning: 765 Pro girls are involved explicitly at one point and they may or may not get out-of-character a bit. Takane in particular is hard for me. And, actually, Makoto to a lesser extent, despite the fact that I adore her to death and practically STUDY how to keep her in-character. It just doesn't work.
So they may get OOC. Like crazy. I'm sorry.**

Without further ado, the sample book! More information is included in the description of the story. Enjoy! Or don't.

Let me know what you think so far. :) I'd love to hear from you.

I have a song list for the main twenty girls, but I've gone back and revised that a bit (changed one of Hiromi's songs from Tsumetai Heya, Hitori to Bad Apple!! and changed one of Nami's songs from Flower Garden to Aqua Terrarium) and now I've got one for the new group of nine too. So...here:

Izuni: Crossing Field (LiSA) and Hanabi (Gakari Ikimono)
Miyuzaki: Zankoku yo Kibou to Nare (Yuuki Aira) and LAMENT ~Yagate Yorokobi o~ (Yuuki Aira)
Mia: INNOCENCE (Eir Aoi) and Spiral (Angela)
Akita: Ambivalent World (Sawashiro Miyuki) and Colorful Days (Kitamura Eri)
Megumi: Empty Stomach Song (Vocaloid) and Overfly (Haruna Luna)
Kyoko: Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai (Hikasa Yoko) and Evil Food Eater Conchita (Vocaloid)
Kyou: The Madness of Duke Venomania (Vocaloid) and Secret ~Dareka no Message~ (Ishida Akira)
Gin: Endless Story (Tamura Yukari) and Black Diamond (Mizuki Nana)
Shiori: Tsumetai Heya, Hitori (Takahashi Mikako) and Hana no Saku Basho (Imai Asami)


COULDN'T RESIST THE VERY STRONG URGE TO MAKE ONE OF KYOU'S THE VOCALOID LUST SONG. SO I DID. Because seriously, knowing that song and knowing Kyou, how could I not?!
Also Kyoko's a bit of a glutton, so she gets Gluttony Song.
I'm tempted to give Kenchi Greed Song since he's the greedy one of the family (with good reason, but still). We'll see.
In any case...these are the songs this group tends to use against the All-Stars in auditions. Gives you an idea of the kinds of songs they sing.

Remember how I talked about writing out one of those "this is the best way to achieve the best ending for this idol" things for the original cast? Well, I got carried away and did. So here:

Ami/Mami: No matter what kind of interaction your idol has with the twins, their ending will not change. Energetic and friendly idols seem happier if you let them talk to the twins a lot, though, and try to limit their time with Yori as much as possible.
Azusa: Interactions with Azusa don't matter no matter who your idol is. Hiromi is always happy to talk to her, though, and be careful about Yori.
Chihaya: Byakura's interactions with Chihaya are critically important. Too little interactions between the two will depress Byakura so much that she either quits as an idol (if your treatment of her throughout was spot-on) or has a panic attack onstage and is forced into an early retirement (if your treatment of her throughout was so-so or just plain bad). If your idol talks with Chihaya occasionally, they will get a better ending by following through on it and bonding with her. Yori's bad ending can be avoided by letting her talk to Chihaya.
Haruka: Interactions with Haruka don't really matter, but an occasional chat with her is good for all of the idols (especially Aime and Mariko).
Hibiki: Interactions with Hibiki don't really matter either, but letting Chiharu talk to her often is good for both of them. In addition, try not to let Byakura talk to Hibiki too much; Hibiki has an arrogant side and too much time around Byakura can upset the shy idol (she'll begin to think she'll never be as good as Hibiki, though her true ending can still be achieved).
Iori: Like Hibiki, interactions with Iori don't really matter, but try to limit Byakura's time with her as much as possible. Arrogant idols and Byakura's lack of self-esteem don't mix.
Makoto: Interactions with Makoto are critically important only if your idol of choice is Kenchi. Failure to let Kenchi talk to his “future wife” enough will throw him into a state of “withdrawal” and he starts hallucinating about seeing Makoto everywhere he looks. It eventually gets so bad his siblings have to force him into retirement. Aside from Kenchi, interactions with Makoto don't really matter, but Natsu and Natsuki seem a bit happier if you let them see her every once in a while.
If you let Kenchi talk to Makoto enough, he unlocks a special best ending in which he manages to get her to warm up to him enough to agree to go on a secret date with him.
Miki: Miki doesn't really have an effect on your idols, but Natsuki really loves spending time with her, and if you let them see each other enough they become almost like best friends, and Natsuki's new Teenage Girl best friend keeps her feeling excited every day. Still, nothing bad will happen if Natsuki doesn't see Miki very often.
Ritsuko: Ritsuko never really makes appearances, but Soumin will occasionally ask to go talk to her if you do an audition against Ryuuguu Komachi. If you don't allow her to, you'll have to work extra hard to get Soumin's best true ending. Letting Soumin talk to Ritsuko as much as possible lets her tell the producer how much she's been improving, and if they talk enough, eventually Soumin convinces Ritsuko to come on stage with her.
Takane: Interactions with Takane don't really matter, but Fuyu seems happy to talk to her. In addition, letting Enra talk with Takane enough unlocks a special ending where the two of them actually become close friends and often go out for ramen together. Letting Yori talk to Takane can help negate her bad ending.
Yayoi: Yayoi is always good to talk to no matter the idol, just because of her...Yayoi-ness (Yori is the one exception, because she's Yori). Still, it isn't critically important for the idols to talk to her.
Yukiho: Yukiho is good to talk to if your idol of choice is either Byakura or Nami, but no matter the amount of times your idol talks to her, her ending will not change.

Ai: Ai is like Yayoi in the sense that every idol (except Yori) benefits from time with her (even Benima, Enra, and Uane), but the amount of time spent with her does not affect the idols' endings (except Yori, again).
Eri: Eri's like Yukiho. Time with her doesn't affect the girls' endings, but Byakura and Nami are always happy to talk to her. Yori can also talk to her a little more often than the others, but still not too much, because both of them started out very antisocial and very into the internet (though Yori was never quite a hikikomori).
Ryo: Haru seems happy to talk to Ryo (both of them have opposite problems—Haru wants a cute voice and Ryo wants to be manly—but Miyuzaki is pals with both of them, and Haru enjoys sharing tips with Ryo), but no amount of interaction with him will change any idols' ending. Except Yori.
It's also a good idea to send Kenchi to chat with him, but only if you've passed the audition. If you pass the audition, Kenchi is in a good mood and will have a pleasant time chatting with Ryo, who is also mature but a bit (OK, very) feminine. But if Kenchi fails the audition, he's more likely to go into Dark Kenchi mode, and therefore sending him to talk to Ryo is a horrible idea. Mainly because Ryo also knows Makoto, so when Kenchi goes off on a rant about how much he loves her (which happens in almost every conversation he has) and Ryo decides to say something like, “Oh yeah, I knew her. She's a good friend of mine,” Kenchi will snap and likely attack the poor kid, which WILL get him in trouble.
So.

Hokuto: Nami is always positively ecstatic to talk to Hokuto, and if you sense Natsu is feeling down she'll usually perk up after chatting with him, but speaking with him will not affect the endings of the idols. Conversely, Enra in particular (but also Uane, Benima, and Yori) seem almost upset to be sent to chat with Hokuto, and it is usually up to the producer to actually tell them to go, instead of them asking to go. Still, if they are sent to say “hello” every once in a while, their endings won't change. A saddened Haru being sent to chat with Hokuto is also good. Also Natsuki.
Basically, if the idol appreciates male attention, it is ALWAYS a good thing (but not critically important) to send them to talk with Hokuto, and if the idol is antisocial (or Byakura who is shy, or Kenchi who's a man though quite feminine and intimidated by manly men like Jupiter) it's USUALLY a bad idea (though still not critically important).
It's also a particularly horrible idea to send Kenchi to Hokuto moreso than the other Jupiter boys, just because if (or more like, “when”) Kenchi goes off on a rant about Makoto and Hokuto decides to put in his own two cents, Kenchi will almost inevitably go into Dark Kenchi mode. Which is bad.
Shouta: Shouta's like Ai and Yayoi for the most part, except for Enra, Benima, Uane, and Yori. Also, if your idol is a little aggressive (Chiharu, Soumin, and Natsu in particular) it could be a bad thing to send them to Shouta since he might use their tempers to an advantage to get free stuff (like by claiming they made him cry so they feel bad and offer to buy him lunch. Like what he did to Hibiki and Takane.)
Touma: Touma is like Hibiki and Iori. While for the most part, talking to him won't change anything (Benima, Uane, and Enra might actually appreciate it since they all get to be mad at everything together), sending Byakura to him is a very, VERY bad idea, so much so that it could actually negate the effects sending her to talk to Chihaya and Izuni has and make her depressed. It's also a bad idea to send Kenchi to him. Because Kenchi is Kenchi and Touma is Touma, and Touma and Kenchi just don't mix.


ONWARDS, AOSHIMA!!!
