Here players can grow these idols and watch them perform, and interact with each other and fans in fully realized 3D.
The game has an emphasis on the growth and cultivation aspect, as apart from playing in rhythm games you’ll be giving idols itineraries to improve upon their abilities, with practice courses, work, fan meetups, dance lessons, and much more. Their itinerary is entirely in your hands and it’s up to you to create a training regiment that can fully maximize the growth of these talents.
The game also has a card system that’s said to be completely different from how it works in the original Shiny Colors, and more details of this system will be made available, but it seems you cans lot in cards with characters and based on how they perform or practice, use various abilities to recover their health or boost their appeal.
The game will also feature what it’s dubbing the “Memorial live” system.
