Unfortunately the "Write Song" button seemed to be broken and never appeared for me so I couldn't do much other than hire idols, but I still love the concept/theme interpretation here and the newspaper bits are pretty funny.

The concept is cool, this is definitely something I could see possibly getting further development in the future

This could be better, a very nice concept with obvious flaws, first of all, we could have less problem choosing idols if we could see their stats with a pop up window while selecting them, or the hability to sort them for their traits while composing songs, and acting, since that's exactly what you want.

It starts well, but when  you got more and more material to work with, you really need to have that info on paper or you really mess everything, 

The selection screen for choosing songs and idols during a concert could improve too, its kinda annoying to have to scroll to choose everything, I would like a drop down menu or something more simple.

But all and all, we could say this is a decent game, I really don't like simulators, so I honestly didn't sync with this one, still, I find kinda attractive that you should think to work fast or sanae enters to ruin everything, the idea of 2hu characters being idols isn't crazy at all, but I still wonder why Shion has a higher fee than Jo'on, lol.

Very interesting concept. I got strangely attached to my songs. I didn't really figure out the math on the stats though, is there a strategy as to which one to improve or which character to hire? It seemed to me like everything is just summed up in the end. The newspaper articles are a nice touch and the UI looks good!

Neat simulator, but sheer volume of monotonous repeating work need to be done to complete it scares me. I'd wish there would be more ways to influence songs and concerts besides picking characters and ways of passive income (selling albums of songs to promote writing new ones), but guess jam game is jam, especially with working save system.

Quite good, I think can find the crowd

Was a bit worried by the sheer length of the "help" section, but this is a surprisingly easy game to get into. Kudos to you for giving players the ability to name their own songs: I think it goes a long way in terms of charm. I wish there was a stamina system or something to stop you from doing the same things over and over again to get money, but I understand that there probably isn't because it's a jam game. Will be coming back to this one for sure.

This is a bit of an odd one out, an idol management game within a jam full of visual novels and pixelized games. I can't exactly say the gameplay is for everybody, but I found it fun. One thing I can praise though is the neat and stylish presentation of the game, and I would've enjoyed seeing the character art, even if they were just reskins.
