Super random question--
Why does my idol sparkle in the morning?

After receiving an e-mail from your idol, randomly you have the chance to get a tension boost that doesn't decrease for the whole next day (the tension heart is red and the idol sparkles). You hear a different sound when closing the e-mail if this happens.

I'm sorta curious about this. Sometimes in the middle of a hard lesson, my idol gives me this option to change the time of this thing, set a date, and then a window like this pops up and I have to quit the game then go abck in to keep playing.
Anyone else get this?

EDIT
Nevermind, figured it out. n_n;;; I'm rank D now after 6 straight hours of playing. <3 MAKOTO~~~
One thing that happened was after a full day, I ran into Hibiki and Takane in a park as an event. When I saw Makoto the next day, she had lost a good chunk of her skills, fans, and even went down 3 levels! Her heart tension was pink, though, and it was 17.
My mind imploded. Anyone know what happened?

Did you have an apointment with a magazine and did you remember to actually go to it?
If not, the magazine probably published a negative article about your idol, resulting in a temp drop of image level, resulting in a temp drop of stats.
Just wait a couple of weeks and it should revert back.

Okay, this is driving me insane.
I'm in Seasonal Event 4, and the communications guide says to touch "Ass". How on earth do I do that if it's only showing her torso?
Also, I'm trying to do multiple appeals, but whenever I hit two buttons at the same time, or one directly after the other, it only does one appeal. How doI do them?

[digi162]

LOL I wouldn't know either.  If you could let us know what idol you're producing (still makoto?), someone could look up that communication and see how it's supposed to be done.

Multiple appeals require a high enough producer rank to be able to do them.  I usually just press them one after another to the rhythm so they're all just appeals.

[KarateKat]

Yeah, still producing Makoto~. It's driving me insane.
How high a producer rank? I couldn't even do them when I was doing a playthrough and I was on rank A.

[digi162]

I think a producer rank of LVL4-5 (should say 中堅 when you look at your producer card while pausing).  It's going to take more than one playthrough definitely before you can start doing double or triple appeals.  Since you need to do multiple playthoughs to keep increasing your producer rank.

I'm having the biggest problem in communications when it comes to touching, especially when the touching appears to be waist, brow, lips, ass, etc etc. No matter where I touch her in these instances, I only get an okay communication, and I'm at the stage where I need perfect communications. Does anyone else have this problem?

I use icomu-master walkthroughs if I ever I do communications (more often than not, I skip them), and I've never seen a communication that requires any sort of contact of areas not on the screen. That being said, with the walkthrough, I have never NOT gotten a perfect communication, touching involved or otherwise.
If you continuously have problems with them, try combing through your walkthrough source and skipping events that require touching.

I need help with Free Produce.

I have more than enough fans to rank up to B, but it's not doing it automatically. It says I need 70,000 fans, then at the end of the criteria there's a + and a little sign that's like an eternity sign wit half of the right side cut off. What is that? What else do I need to rank up?

If the criteria is the same as Xbox version, then you would need to clear the Vocal, Dance and Visual Dojo.

Aw, thanks man. Unfortunately I only had 3 weeks left and played through the rest of them waiting for an answer...better luck next time, I suppose.

[Soth]

The sign is "alpha", and as airgeneralpong said, means an extra criteria.

According to the Producer's Guide:

Rank B - 700,000 fans (in the chart appears as 70万) + win at least 3 Special auditions.

Rank A - 1,000,000 fans (in the chart appears as 100万) + win all the Special1 auditions and at least 3 auditions from Special2 or Special3

Rank S (doesn't appear in the chart until you reach it) - 1,500,000 fans + win all 9 Special auditions

Ohh man, that happened to me too. My idols were more than skilled enough to pass that final performance with flying colors, but I couldn't do it in the dome!

Thanks to Soth for those guidlines
