I don't know if this has been answered before, but here's a question...
In the catalog #1 PV, from 1:27 to 2:01, a stage is shown that I don't remember ever seeing in the game. Or actually I do recognize it as the office mode 'original stage'-stage, except there's no background png and this one has the floor lights and spotlights on and everything. Where does this stage appear in game?
Anyways, in my opinion unlocking new stuff the regular way's half the charm of doing auditions.
Also, you'll be using someone else's Producer name if you uses another's save.
Speaking of unlocking new stuff... out of curiosity, did anyone here ever try collecting every single one of a specific idol's mails? I stumbled upon this guide that listed the requirements for getting each mail and it looked like it'd take ages...
(If anyone's interested in this I don't mind translating it btw)
