TRAIN YOUR BUDDING STARS AND MAKE IMPORTANT CHOICES
Every trainee has their own unique characteristics and backstory that must be taken into consideration when forming your band. One girl may have fierce confidence that drives fans wild, but could disrupt the group dynamic. Meanwhile, another may be a shy songbird who needs a little encouragement to shine – but how will she handle the spotlight?
As their manager, it’s up to you to understand their stories, personalities and strengths. Assemble a diverse and dynamic group of idols to create a dream team!
What type of manager will you be? A disciplinarian, or caring and compassionate? Will you prioritise the board members, and will you be up front and honest with your trainees?
The choice is yours.
SET THE WEEKLY TRAINING SCHEDULE
Every week you will need to set the weekly schedule to train your idols, or give them time to themselves. Should you send you talent to a rigorous dance practice, or let them unwind with relaxing yoga? Your choices impact the teams growth and the way the story develops.
With a chance to encounter a mini-game, these will let you be a part of their training classes. From hitting the right pitch to memorising complicated dance moves, you will need to aim for an S-rank to ensure your trainees reach their ultimate potential.
