Hey Igor, here's a tip: if you release two or more singles in a single month, you'll get significantly less sales per single. In order to avoid that, you should only release once single a month (when the launch button is green instead of orange), maximizing profit and minimizing losses.

Also, concerts aren't really that profitable unless you have a really popular group with dedicated fans who are willing to pay a lot for tickets.

If you keep those two things in mind, and keep doing what you're doing with photoshoots and promotions, you'll be thriving in no time :)

Thanks, knew about the Singles thing though. Was just hoping if I'd rush them out the concert would somehow save me and shower me with money or something lol

How many Sales Managers do you recommend? A big problem I have is that 2 of them somehow don't get enough business proposals for five idols but their salaries become a huge money drain.

I usually go with two managers as well. They were great at keeping me above water until I got to Lvl. 3 of Performance, then I could make more money by just spamming performances. Try finding a nice balance between promotion and performance, and let the managers do their job. If you're struggling with your finances, spend a few days choosing performances. If you have a decent amount of money, invest in promotions. Try to level them up as soon as you can, especially Performances. The sooner you level up, the sooner you'll get to that financial comfort zone, so then you can stop worrying about photoshoots and just focus on singles (which are much more effective than promotions when it comes to getting new fans).

You can also just not give a F about your idols. You need the money more than they do. Lower their salaries if necessary, leave it at 1% satisfaction. They'll bowl and complain, but they'll thank you later when you're all swimming in 10,000 yen bills xD

Just in case if it interests you or someone else:

I made it and put myself into a positive spiral by taking out a 10.000.000 Yen loan from that landowner. The weekly loan payback was tough (~400.000) but it bought enough time to release monthly singles and become steadily more profitable. Just when I was going into the red solid it was all paid back and it seems like the toughest part is over from there.
