Not too sure how I feel about the graphics. I have a feeling the choreography is done by male dancers and I actually like how different and "rougher" (not too sure what word to use?) the movements feel compared to the female idols, but it appears that all idols' mouths move even when they're not the ones singing. Even the back-up dancers move their mouths even though they're not part of the song. The camera movements and cuts kinda make that less obvious but I wonder why they couldn't polish the lip syncs before uploading the MV, considering pre-registration has started and everything else about the MVs look pretty good and finished. I'm worried that the weird lip syncs will prevent more dynamic camera movement and cinematography, since the camera usually cuts to another idol as soon as their solo line ends to hide the weird lip syncing.
Otherwise, I like how the models look and how similar they look to their card art style and the game surprisingly looks really good for something we've seen so little of. My only wishes so far would be to improve lip syncing and hopefully fix up those jagged lines and rough edges on the models (hopefully a case-by-case situation depending on your phone)

theater days does the same.
blue symphony, sentimental venus, marionette wa nemurenai, are all songs were 4 idols sing in the original but 5 move their mouths
I guess they are just lazy, because they would need to chance the code for tha idols that don't sing
Nagi:
This whole lipsync thing used to happen in Deresute too back when it was released in Onegai! Cinderella's solos. You choose a girl who had a solo version and even though the song was sung by her, the rest was also lip syncing along with her. This was fixed in an update however, so we can only hope that the same goes for Millitheater and Livesute.
Also, some of them (at least in Deresute and Millitheater, didn't really checked the Livesute PVs in detail to notice this) sing when being back dancers in the chorus parts, maybe because Scamco wants to give the feel of having the backdancers be the ones who do the chorus parts. Again, I didn't check the PVs in detail (too busy looking at Michio and Shiro ww) but I doubt they would make the backdancers lipsync the entire song.
The choreographies are AMAZING, and compared to the first PV where they danced like robots, they really smoothed them.
Now, the actual problems here (imo):
-No hair physics? I mean, I know the game is still being developed and they need to polish a lot of things, and they probably rendered the MVs without paying too much attention... but did they really need to use models like Chris', one of the few idols who have long hair? That makes that even more notorious! Chris' hair stays rigid the whole song. It looks like it was made out of cardboard. Again, I'm sure the models are still not finished and they need to add physics to some of them. Or at least, that's what I want to believe, because I doubt they're gonna leave long haired idols without physics when some short haired models like Kanon's and Jiro's have physics (even though they look so bad... hope they also fix this).
-Weird proportions... this can be noticed in SEM's PV the most... it may be only me, but, don't they have really long arms and legs compared to the torso? Mofumofuen's models look nice, but SEM's models look so out of proportion. Again, this may be me, so if someone can confirm this...
Overall, the game is looking amazing and I can't wait for its release! They really need to polish those things asap tho, because considering how they already opened preregistrations and seeing how Scamco always release their phone games two months (more or less) after this, the game may be released in September. And considering how the anime airs in October, the release date may be at the end of September, so the game can promote the anime and viceversa. It's a win win.
Roswell:
But in Mirishita, only the character singing is lip syncing during their respective solo parts, just like in Deresute. Even in Kokoro ga Kaero Basho, when they're singing in pairs in the beginning, only the respective pairs lip sync. The 5th member only lip syncs during the group parts. This feels off in that everyone's lip syncing even during the solo parts.
Chihayaa:
Personally, the SEM models look pretty good, but I do agree that something feels just slightly off about them, now that I take a closer look. I don't know what it is specifically but maybe it's their height differences that kinda make the arms and legs look longer than the norm?? I definitely see how Rui's legs look a bit longer than they should, in regards to his slightly shorter height, and they probably could've done a better job scaling the arms and legs according to their various heights. Or it might just be their skimpier outfits throwing me off since Mofumofuen and the four back-up dancers look fine? haha
And the hair physics AND cloth physics both could definitely use some improvement. I think Starlight Stage has some awesome cloth physics, especially the long-sleeved dresses. They started off kinda rigid but seemed to drastically improve as SSRs released overtime (so I'm sure Raibuste will follow, as there's always room for improvement for new games), but the fact that SEM's pink cape-like things are so rigid and frozen in this MV is crazy to me.
Especially since their album artwork makes them look so thin and flexible and the dance is so hyper and epic, yet their capes just kinda freeze in place. lol I just hope they touch up on these things as the game is released!
