{{tropelist}}
=== This game provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Action Girl]] - Makoto's the [[Tomboy|most obvious one]], but Takane also {{spoiler|uses a Judo grapple during her True End and, through out her route, can sense when someone is stalking/looking at her.}}
Line 38:
** {{spoiler|One of the possible interpretations of the True End of Haruka's route is this, since it's never outright stated anything, only inferred from the speech and phrase pattern.}}
* [[Canon Shadow]] - You can use the same song and same clothes/acessories as the RK against them during the two mandatory story festivals against them as soon as the second playthrough.
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]] - President Kuroi is a mild type 3. He ''[[Sarcasm Mode|just]]'' want to destroy the 765 Pro Office because of his rivalry with President Takagi.
* [[Cat Smile]] - One of Makoto and Yayoi's [[Going Through the Motions|preset expressions.]]
* [[Central Theme]] - Unit and Friendship.
Line 59:
* [[Disc One Final Boss]] - The second storyline Festival against the Ryuugu Komachi.
* [[Disc One Nuke]] - Everything you buy and all of your money carry over from playthroughs. Considering that some amulets and costumes/acessories are completely [[Game Breaker|broken]], you can get your first single at least on the Top 20 by week 8, unlocking all the high level auditions and jobs early.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]] - Every now and then, you can play [[Rock -Paper -Scissors|janken]] with your idol. Losing to them makes them happy. Winning... can make them angry and make them skip practice for a week (if you had already spammed autocommands before and their mood was already close to fatigue.)
* [[Distant Finale]] - {{spoiler|All the routes' True End take place a year later, except for Miki's, which happens a few hours after, when the Producer lands on America.}}
* [[The Dragon]] - Touma is this to President Kuroi. {{spoiler|Until he learns what a bastard the guy is.}}
Line 97:
* [[Joke Item]] - A few of the acessories. The pacifier, carrot...
* [[Kirk Summation]] - The Producer during the final confrontation with Jupiter delivers this, wich in turn...
** [[Shut Up, Kirk]] - forces President Kuroi to spill the beans to his real reasons as to why he wants to beat the 765 Pro Agency. {{spoiler|This ends up being the point where Touma decides to end his contract with 961 Pro.}}
* [[Lap Pillow]] - The producer receives one during Yukiho's route.
* [[Large Ham]] - If President Kuroi [[The Faceless|had a picture]] it could very well be the trope image.
* [[Level -Locked Loot]] - A few costumes/acessories can only be obtained after the first playthrough.
* [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen]] - Before the confrontation with Jupiter, when {{spoiler|Touma finally knows about President Kuroi's dirty tricks, he states that Jupiter will compete fair and square with the player's unit, much to Kuroi's chargrin.}}
* [[Let the Boss Win|Let The Girls Win]] - It's on your best interest that they win when you play Janken with them.
Line 118:
* [[No Campaign for The Wicked|No Route For the Wicked]] - The Ryuugu Komachi girls, until it was averted on the [[PS 3]] version.
** Still played straight with Jupiter though.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]] - A bit of [[Fridge Logic]] and exposition to understand this. One of the requirements to get an Rank S when playing on Hyper is to have a Single on the top of the DoTopTV music chart at least one time. During the Extra Episode, the producer suggests that the RK change their song and outfit before they enter the Idol Ultimate competition. Each week on the Extra Episode equals ten weeks on the normal storyline (judging by the girls increase on Image Level from week to week). The Extra Episode starts at week 25, when the RK is beaten by Touma (on the normal storyline). Now fastforward to week 45 (week 3 on the Extra Episode). Guess what is the song that starts rapidly gaining terrain on the chart until it tops it? Yep. If you didn't get to the first place before then, the only way to top the chart after week 45 is getting a Break on the latest release or a Revival of the second-to-last single, and even then, might be hard to top it. All because the Producer decided to be a nice guy and helped Ritsuko revamp the Ryuugu Komachi.
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]] - Played straight during the game, most notable on Miki's route, where in the introduction, she says she's 15 and during the last communication, where {{spoiler|she tells everybody else about her relationship with the producer}}, Ritsuko says she's still 15... 53 weeks later. It's possible, but rather unlikely due to the odds.
** Also, birthdays are never mentioned in none of the routes with the possible exception of {{spoiler|Yukiho's,}} where there's an offhand comment about it.
* [[Oh Crap]] - The face the girls do when {{spoiler|the producer announces to them that if they win the IA Award he'll go to Hollywood as his prize for producing the winning unit.}}
* [[One Dialogue, Two Conversations]] - How the Producer manages to {{spoiler|convince Miki not to [[So What Do We Do Now?|quit being an Idol]] was essentially this. He meant that he likes Miki ''as an Idol'', and she understands the same dialogue as his love confession.}}
* [[The Other Darrin]] - Yukiho was recast for iM@S 2.
* [[Palette Swap]] - All Floral, Luxury and Starry Costumes have the same design inside their set, only the colors are diferent.
Line 138:
* [[Save Scumming]] - Rather easy to do it too. Didn't get a question in the morning that raises all the girls Danketsu? Quit and Reload. Failed an audition/live/festival? Quit and Reload. Some go as far as reload because of a failed evening communication.
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] - Ritsuko, depending on your answers.
* [[SchrodingersSchrodinger's Player Character]] - Averted. The idols you didn't choose for your unit can be called for special quintet performances and can appear as rivals on festivals.
* [[Scripted Battle]] - The Odissey Festival agaisnt Touma. {{spoiler|It gets rained out halfway through and subsequently cancelled.}}
* [[Score Screen]] - Two different ones, interconnected. The Stage Performance score screen (with Total, Chain and Burst points), the Job screen (with the number of Fans and money you gain). Three if you consider the evaluation at the end as one.
Line 144:
* [[Shipper On Deck]] - Miki's route. {{spoiler|Let's see. Starts with the two other girls in the Unit, then Azusa, giving her blessing, and Ritsuko playing the overprotective father.}}
* [[Ship Tease]] - In some of the girls routes. Hibiki x Touma, Makoto x Hokuto and Yayoi x Shouta.
* [[So What Do We Do Now?]] - In Miki route, {{spoiler|after your unit defeats Ryugu Komachi, Miki no longer has the goal to become an idol and wants to quit. Fortunately, the Producer manages to change her mind.}}
* [[Spinventory]] - A variant. You can only see the item in the 3D model before you buy it. After it's already on the clothes screen, you can only see them on the girls, not by themselves.
* [[Story Overwrite]] - Played straight and then subverted. It doesn't matter the amount of ''Danketsu'' your unit have, at the end of week 10 it get's plumetted by the storyline loss in the festival agaisnt Ryuuguu Komachi. Then subverted in that if the danketsu was high enough the next week they'll come as if nothing happened.
