Played the game already, it's so sensitive that it's pretty hard to get the 'excellent' mark on each note DX

So, without any knowledge of Japanese, I decided to try this game a bit.
Firstly, this game only has members of team A, K, B and 4 before the shuffle. That means the 15th gen members are not in the game atm, which is a big disappointment to me
From the roster, you will pick 5 members to form a unit with one of them being center (I picked Kojimako ). The first three available songs are Heavy Rotation, Suzukake Nanchara and Shonichi. Other songs can be unlocked at higher rank, I guess. Before performing, you need to choose a friend from a random list (similar to Puzzle & Dragons). I can see that most people choose Mayuyu as their center .
Gameplay is quite interesting and hard too. Can't believe I only got rank B and C at easy and normal difficulty . Need to practice more.
Overall, the game is great and fun but they'd better add 15th gen soon so I can complete my dream team

 

I second to this^
Where's my Miion?!
And in the future they should update it to be AKB48 Group Official Music Game so I can include Kanon too
It would be a perfect formation Mako - Kanon - Yuko - Ricchan - Miion >.,<

For each song, after you clear the current level you'll unlock the next one.
You can also unlock other songs, right now I had unlocked KFC (and I forgot the other one, I think I have 5 songs already)
For each star you hit, you get a new member for your unit formation.
You can form several units with different power and mental.

I think that's my observation until now with the little Japanese I know (with no Rikaikun I'm a bit helpless, my kanji recognizer is also on the same phone I'm playing the game on, so it's a pain in the butt to switch back and forth).

 

Is there a way around the country block?

 

we need the apk at any cost! So that way you can avoid the country block.

 

Just follow this guide to create a japanese itunes account without credit card information:

how about android user?

 

I lurked around Twitter to find the .apk
I guess you can PM me

 

I'm putting this in the OP

 

I've only had the chance to play it a little but this game is super cute! I love rhythm games and I was hoping we'd see something like this someday. The only issue is that it loads a bit slowly and it's frozen on me once but hopefully they'll update with more kinks worked out soon. Still pretty cool and really nice that it's free!

 

Game is quite nice, but IIRC the taps don't really sync that well to the song.. So I play without voice, and look i 200-comboed Heavy Rotation lv. 6 (but still only got a C)

we need translation!!

 

This game is challenging. Easy and Normal I usually get C or B but any harder than that it usually drains the Mental of who I chose.
You can pretty much train anyone during lessons. I used Mayu at center but trained Saho quite a bit.

 

How do you train members? I suppose you can upgrade the performance and mental stat but I have no idea how. I also don't know how to spend the "heart" (have max 400/400).

 

^ Pick a member you want to train, tap on check. Then choose lesson partner/s then tap check. Start the lesson and select yes. The more partners you have, the more hearts you will use.

EDIT: Tried it again and again

 

I was told the game is more than 500mb in size, so you'll need that the connection should be stable, or have an cut-off download and go back to square one.

Someone ought to make a guide for this, and BTW, I wonder if it'll work under Bluestacks App Player (beta version for now) so I'm downloading at the moment.

 

this game is a bit laggy. most of my "in circle" hits are great. and if i tapped earlier, i got excellent. lol
IMO, "shonichi" is special song of the day that would be switched out when the clock reset (i believe in 24:00JST) and the next song is "Shoujotachi yo".

 

Installed the app to my tablet through an apk. Was very surprised to see that there was an in-game download. And I think it's pretty huge, since it took me quite some time. I'm excited to play~

 

470mb after the in-game download.. quite a nice rhythm game for a small screen phones like mine
