Thanks, for the advice. I will take some of you guys' points into my gameplay.
I'm pretty far into the game. I have Ex cleared most everything (including all hell training). Now, just need to pretty much focus on the SP tab and that should be it. Oh, and I also need to beat those couple of hard S-rank lives too. (the rest is just my own personal recording videos).
Few questions and comments
1. What is the significance of the right most tab in the live menu? It's the one with the face. All the lives listed there don't really have much a scoring requirement and seems like you get nothing after beating it. Just wondering what purpose does it serve.
2. This is old, but I just figured out you can use the d-pad to press notes too. Meaning, left on d-pad corresponds to square. Of course, only useful for certain songs (like master or the harder version of hell training song) where you have to press buttons simultaneously.
3. I noticed that it's much easier to get level 20 omoide than level 20 burst. Like, my leader got to level 20 omoide (without items) but her burst was only level 12. Of course, you can only burst once while omoide can be used 8 times (or less depending number of idols in the unit). Out of curiosity, I gave her like 10 of the Large Burst cookies to see what would happen and still that wasn't enough to get to level 20. (meaning over 500 lives more).
4. I also noticed when I beat an SP live, there's a check mark on the list. However, in the next year, it seems it all resets. Didn't understand why it does that. I understand if it was the 6 major lives since those have to be beaten in 1 year or else you have to try again next year. But, I'm under the impression the other SP lives don't have to be beaten in 1 year.

1. To me they seem a little bit useful at the very beginning of the game. They only require 765 points to ex clear, and give 3000 fans (or rather 6000 with the more or less guaranteed ex clear) which is much more than the other lives you can do at the very beginning of the game, especially since you probably won't ex clear the others. Maybe there is more to them, but i haven't found any other use. And even at the beginning, fans weren't my problem, i was rather starving for CP.
2. Personally i also use this for note charts with alternating buttons. e.g. instead of triangle, square, triangle, square i press triangle, left, triangle, left, or up, square, up, square. Or also for patterns like triangle, triangle, square, triangle, i usually press left instead of square. It takes some time to get used to it, but imo many master songs become much more relaxed to play this way. You could also use it for fast sequences of the same note, so you could also do triangle, up, triangle, up, but i usually mess up the timing when i try this, so i don't do it.

Thanks again, for answering my questions.
So far, I haven't needed to use a master song yet. But, if I do, then I'll be using the d-pad as well. Well, I used the d-pad too for the hard hell training since that requires pressing simulataneous buttons.
More questions
1. There's a couple of videos from the other memory list that I'm missing. I've got the all star live video Ver. B for Happy and Kakumei de Show. Does that mean I'm missing the Ver. A of those songs? How do I get those (if I'm assuming things right)? Or, where can I get those missing videos?
2. I'm assuming the monthly trending outfits/song for the SP lives help you score more points, correct? (though, so far, I haven't needed to use the trending outfit/song yet).
Naryoril:
1. Sorry, i can't answer this, because i'm missing the 2 videos between Shy Shining and Happy as well. So far i assumed the Ver. A is the one in Platinum Stars, it would be a bit strange to have 2 versions of the old songs in the game, but only one version of the new one. But that's pure speculation.
My guess is that the videos will be revealed after getting all the girls to S rank. I also haven't unlocked the last video in the spoiler section, and i guess it will also be revealed after getting everyone to S rank.
2. The trending outfit and song only count for SP lives that have the type trend. There are some of those, but most notably the title events for solo (IU), duo (SD) and trio (IA), i hope i got the abbreviations right. Especially the last live of each of these series will be extremely hard if not impossible to beat without following the costume as well as the song trend. Iirc for ex clear solo is between 80k and 90k points, trio a bit above 90k points and the duo one is about 240k points in 3 songs, but you only get the song trend bonus for the actual song, not for the other 2.

Thanks, again for responding.
I actually got those 2 videos just now. They are the Ver. A of Happy and Kakumei de Show. To get those, you have to just clear (not Ex clear) the corresponding lives.
I got this info from that website someone posted earlier.
Though, there's still 2 non-concert videos I'm missing from other memories list. (I believe these are the office one's with kotori and president). That website mentioned about clearing the Christmas live and valentine live, so maybe beating those SP lives in those respective months? Not sure.
You mentioned there's 1 video you're still missing? Which one is that? Is that the same one I just mentioned just above? Or, are you talking about something else?
Oh, I see. I guess the trend is needed for those major 6. I was planning on doing them when I finish the other SP lives.
Edit: Been doing some research on the unlisted lives. I've read some people's post in the 1st couple pages in this topic. I also tried looking into that website someone posted here, and it appears that they unlock with some requirement. If I understood correctly, getting Haruka to S rank will unlock her duo live (with Miki). Beating this live will unlock Chihaya's solo live (assuming she's S rank), and beating her live which will unlock another idol's live and so on.
Edit 2:
Another question
1. So, I've completed a couple of these unlisted lives such as the Chihaya solo, but I noticed that they completely disappear from the SP list. Is there no way you can tell that you completed them or not? Or, we just have to keep track of them in our head.
