found some bugs relating to the awards mechanic:
Best Debut Idol is broken: my first year (2019 Awards) I had no nominees despite obviously having idols on my roster with 3 stars, lol. Second year (2020 Awards Show) it nominated one of the first hires I had from 2018. The next year (2021 Awards) it nominated that same idol again, as she still had the most stars, despite there being idols hired after the 2020 show with 3 stars. So basically the game didn’t look at the idols I hired for the first award show, and now it ONLY looks at the idols hired before the 2019 Awards for the best debut each year.
Also, the awards about individual idols seem bugged: none of my gravure/variety/fashion award trackers tick up in numbers throughout the period. Performance/Promotions do. Additionally, my Most Prolific tracker doesn’t reset to 0 after the awards like Perf/Promo do and remains at 12.
