Dang you beat me to it while I was making the post! XD

New song is called "Amaterasu". Costume is called "Tsukiyomi no Kamu Wasou" (Tsukiyomi's Dancing Flower Kimono) from MUST SONGS.

[Naryoril]

the costume looks really nice. It's just sad that it's probably useless

[Hime Idol]

Really liking the new song from DLC 3. The outfit is also very nice looking. Happy to see that it's using the idols' image colors instead of one standard color.

Is it me or does the outfit sorta remind anyone of magical girl anime. Sorta strikes me as Sailor Moon-ish. But still really like the outfit and song.


(Still holding out for Yakusoku and Aoi Tori.)

[Roswell]

Amaterasu sounds great, definitely the best new DLC song so far.

[suzushinayuriko]

Outfit is fantastic! It's like a much improved version of iM@S 2's Full Bloom Yukata Dress. Song sounds pretty great.

Still, Kyun! Vampire Girl and Meisou Mind? I love both, but this game is still severely lacking in ballads.

[Adz0086]

I second this^
This game needs ballads bad...

I'm loving Amaterasu! A couple more listens and I think I might want to do a piano cover of it.

Hello there!

Two very quick questions:

- is there a way to know how many hours/lives I've played the game? I recall some 'stats' page in the pad section, is the correct?

- if I clear a live with X fans, will each idol joining the live receive X fans at the end of it? Will X be split amongst the idols?

Thanks!

First question: yes, that's correct

Second question:
For solo events i could figure out the formula precisely (although there is a factor of 1.15 where i had no idea where it is coming from), but for trios and quintets i was only able to find an approximation.
iirc it's roughly like this:
The idols which are not the leader get about (the margin of error is about 5%):
Number of fans as stated / 2 * 1.2 * highest fan bonus of your equipment (e.g. 1.3 if you have a costume with +30% fans)
If you get an ex clear, multiply that again with 1.15

The leader gets that result * 1.66 (or maybe it was 1.5)

Thanks Naryoril for the extremely detailed data !!

Ehh? wtf are those numbers? It's not that complicated

For solo:
You get x1.1 fans for it being a solo live.
You get x1.1 fans for EX clearing a live.
You get xXX% for +fans item equpped (only the highest one works).

For group live:
You get x1.15 fans for EX clearing a live.
You get xXX% for +fans item equpped (only the highest one works).
Leader gets 100% of fans multiplied by all multipliers.
Anyone else participating gets 60% of what your leader gets.

Examples:
Solo. A live with 15750 fans reward. You EX clear it and +15% item is equipped.
Fans you will get: 15750x1.1x1.1x1.15=21916

Group A live with 6325 fans reward. You EX clear it and have +15% item equpped.
You leader will get: 6325x1.15x1.15=8364
Team member 2 will get: 8364x60%=5018
Team member 3 will get: 8364x60%=5018
Total fans: 18400

[Naryoril]

geeze, i wonder what i did wrong to not find such an easy formula (for the group lives), although you made a small mistake: you mixed up the ex clear factor of solos and group lives


Ex clearing the S rank quintet  Re:ライブマスター which has a base fan value of 15750 while not wearing any fan boosts got my leader 17325 fans, which is 15750 * 1.1
Ex clearing the special SP quintet バレンタインライブ which also has a base fan value of 15750 while wearing a costume with 30% fan and no money bonus got my leader 22522 fans, which is 15750 * 1.1 * 1.3, i also got 6750 (base) * 1.1 (ex clear bonus) = 7425 money

On the other hand, solo lives have an ex clear bonus of 1.15, the solo bonus also seems to be 1.15
Ex clearing the A rank solo live レジェンドソングライブ　which has a base fan value of 10725 while not wearing any fan or money boost got me 10725 * 1.15 * 1.15 = 14183 fans and 7410 (base) * 1.15 (ex clear bonus) = 8521 money.


that different ex clear factor probably is the reason why i couldn't find the correct group live formula. i made my first tests for finding the formula on solo lives for simplicity and found an ex clear factor of 1.15. From there i automatically assumed that the ex clear factor is the same for group lives, and always calculated with this. No wonder i couldn't find a formula that made sense.

Just another dumb question: is there a way to 'force' a live to be played solo? I've only reached A rank lives (very early game stage, not even all idols have completed the Extreme Live) and the only "solo" I can think of is the second part of the extreme live itself.

Does this make sense?

[suzushinayuriko]

Found a preview of the full Amaterasu dance here, I think this is from Tokyo Game Show?

I like it even more, although Takane's hair clipping was fairly distracting.
