I decided to plan a date with one of the idols, and when the coffee cup icon showed up and I clicked on it, nothing happened.  After that, I couldn't plan a date with any of the idols--the room was blacked out with "1 Day Left" showing.  Waiting a few in-game days did not solve the problem, and neither did exiting and re-entering the game.

I just started playing today and ran into two bugs:

1. occasionally everything just kinda stops

2. Everyone's mental stamina just dropped to 0 when they were all at 100 not even 2 seconds ago

I'm having that first problem happen to me as well.

I have my salary policies set to automatically keep idols satisfied.  Yet one of my top idols has her idol satisfaction set at 25%.  I couldn't figure out a way to manually fix it.

After holding a concert with an Election, I am unable to make another concert even after the 1 month cooldown. It shows up as " In production" when I have none on my waiting list. It stays like this even after restarting the game.

I'm having the bug that everyone else is having. The game just randomly freezes. I cant nail it down to anything specific. Reloading the game helps for about a minute, and then the game just freezes again. I am using the latest version on a clean install.

Seconding the time freeze bug on Beta 6, it is happening every few minutes for me. One thing that I noticed seems to trigger it is as soon as I see the notification "___ has gained 30 mental stamina points for an unknown reason", every time after that my game freezes. If I notice anything else that seems to consistently cause it I will list it here. 

A couple of art bugs in Beta 6:

The producers icon art is oversized and low res:  https://imgur.com/Fn2xvbu

The girl's faces are scrambled on the Hiring screen:  https://imgur.com/PpXdkqH  https://imgur.com/oM1SoKW

I'm also getting the game freezing option, as well as still seeing incredibly low sales for songs. The only way to actually make money seems to be through the managers getting different deals for the idols, not actually making music :(

Hey, I just pushed an update that should fix the freezing bug.

For single sales, there's a big penalty to sales if you release singles too often (-50% if there's been less than a month from the previous single), maybe you're hitting that?

Could be! I'll keep playing and see how I do!

You really need to concentrate on getting fans to get sales up...  Look at Promotion on the Activities screen or Details widget.  Fans are love.  Fans are life.

Yeah, I've noticed that. It used to be that I needed 100 fans to be able to sell 100 albums, but even at 1k fans I only sold about 14 albums.

Are you watching the demand/satisfaction indicators over on the right hand side of New Single screen?

Hello I found a bug where when you go and drag an Idol to a room and she get's automatically placed in a different room while still dragging her that her icon doesn't dissapear from your mouse even in cutscenes. All the rooms where she can't be placed will keep being dark because of this. I can still press the pause button, options and menu's. I tried removing her from the room she automatically got picked in and she stopped being in that room but her picture stayed. I can make the picture dissapear by dragging a different Idol.


One small bug I am noticing is that I am receiving messages about stat decreases due to age penalty for girls who have already graduated, not a huge deal but it does clutter up the news feed a bit.

So far, all of my (few) graduated idol are staying in the salary tab and get payed, they are also still eligible for events and preset formation. They also stay in media projects (the stamina cost doesn't change for the other idols in the same project).
Graduated idols don't count against the 5 idols requirement for elections, and don't show up during the election, but I was able to select them when I wanted to swap the envelope.
I tried all the three options (staff, successor and goodbye), and made sure that they aren't in any media projects. I also restarted the game for every try, to make sure there is no weird interference, and waited ingame for at least a month after the graduation.

I also tried to fire them by myself. Fire them directly only works after the second try on the same girl. It has the same salary/event problem like the normal graduated idols.

It also seems you get a lot more freezes the more graduated you have. During my short testing, I tried to run a save with 3 graduated idols and one soon to be. The game freezes all couple days for no obvious reasons. Restarting the game did unfreez the game for a couple days.

Currently having an issue where an idol currently practicing (vocal, dance, style) can't be selected for a media show. Is this a bug, or working as intended?

i'm having an issue where whenever i click into the singles tab, the time freezing bug happens

Hey, um my game freezes a lot. Like lets say my character is writing a song, while the choreographer is practicing a dance, their jobs will be frozen. And literally no process happens. Then I can't even leave the game, because even if I click on main menu or save game, its frozen and wouldn't let me out.

Have any of your idols graduated?  Could be a bug that can happen when a leader of a clique graduates, it will be fixed in the next update soon.

Hello.  I found a bug that occurs when I make a tv show. Sometimes the game automaticly cancels my tv show and when I click on the tv button sometimes I can't see the shows I do have in progress. I can only see my cancelled shows. Thankl you and great game! I can't wait for the full version. 

Not sure if this is so much a bug as just kind of a rare thing to happen, but I did wind up getting double idols in an audition. 


You can see the two there. 

Socializing can be prompted even when you're working on another project, and breaks the project (it will not be worked on when socializing is done, and is locked as being worked on so it can't be reassigned, only canceled).

When a girl goes on hiatus, the game does not tell you that it will do whatever it wants to the roster. It does, however, do that and reslots whatever it feels like to make up the space for the missing girl. This should not be done, because you can still schedule girls on hiatus for events and just have to delay it until they're back, there is no reason it should retroactively change things already established and even less than no reason for it to do so without telling you. Caused 3 disasters in my concert thanks to that.
