Idol Manager Pop stardom, run from a spreadsheet

Run a small talent agency and turn unknown trainees into pop stars. You hire and fire idols, train stats, book singles and tours, grow the building, and talk your way out of scandals. Funny, cute, and often ruthless: profit is the score.

Sign trainees, train idols, mind the drama

You audition hopefuls, decide who makes the group and who gets cut, then set training, styling, and schedules. Stats like cuteness and appeal shape what each idol can sell, and staff like choreographers and stylists keep energy and growth moving.

The group has feelings. Cliques form, feuds flare, bullying spreads, and meltdowns can turn into PR nightmares. You smooth things over, reprimand, reassign, or fire, knowing a happy lineup sells records and an unhappy one sells gossip magazines.

Singles, tours, and a bigger agency

You produce singles by picking genres, themes, and lineups, then spend popularity with concerts, TV events, and overseas tours that bring in revenue. Fans split across ages and tastes, so varying your tactics widens the base that buys what you make.

Money goes back into the building. Simple offices and dance rooms grow into a cafe and theater for steady income, with staff hired to handle logistics. Crises interrupt the plan: gossip, vandalism, stalkers, threats, and rival groups playing dirty. Deal with each one, since it is business.

What else should tycoon fans know?

Do the story choices actually change a run?

Yes. Substories trigger around how you play and often branch into very different outcomes, including serious commercial fallout. One late choice splits the plot into three distinct paths with their own endings, which gives repeat runs a real reason.

Can idols leave on their own?

They can. Idols age, tire, and eventually want to retire, and you can spend influence to persuade favorites to stay longer. High friendship can even keep a veteran around as agency staff after she stops performing.

Is there romance in the office?

There is, alongside the management. Bonding with idols can lead to friendship, romantic dialogue, and adult content, which takes sustained attention across a career. Contains sexual content and nudity.

Can you change the game with mods?

Yes, mod support is built in. Players use it for new idols, faces, and balance tweaks, which helps if you want a specific group concept or a longer career with fresh trainees to scout.
