 Somewhat unrelated, but it's worth mentioning that if you're transferring your account from iOS to Android (or vice-versa) you WILL lose all of your stellar stones, including free and paid stellar stones. Friend Points and Gacha Tickets will be OK. *More information regarding this on the Data Transfer tab.*

1. Since the game is Region Locked (meaning it's only available in Japan), we'll have to rely on other methods. One way is to download QooApp on your Android to get pass the Region lock.
2. Open the app and find IDOLiSH7. You may have to search up "IDOLiSH7" or "アイドリッシュセブン(A i do ri s shu Se bu n)". Here's the game icon for reference!
3. The game is free to play, but it does include in-app purchases. It's not necessary to progress or playthrough. So, click on it and click the Download button.

 Via Apple Store on iOS
1. Since the game is Region Locked (meaning it's available in Japan), you must use an account which has access to the Japanese Apple Store. This Reddit post has a pretty good walkthrough on how to make a Japanese Apple ID account.
2. Once you have access to the Japanese Store, find IDOLiSH7. You may have to search up "IDOLiSH7" or "アイドリッシュセブン(A i do ri s shu Se bu n)". Here's the game icon for reference!
 If you know any other methods, feel free to comment them over on Suggestions!!

 Via QooApp on Android
1. Open the QooApp on your Android phone
2. Press the person right next to 'My Games'
3. Find the IDOLiSH7 game icon and tap it.
4. There should be button that says 'Update' press that.
5. Wait for the update to finish.
 Via Apple Store on iOS
Update the game like you would any regular game on iOS
1. Open the App Store with your Japanese Apple Account.
2. Go to the 'Updates' button at the bottom right of the screen.
3. Find the game app.
4. Once you find the game press the 'Update' button. (if it says open, then the game is already updated!)
5. Wait for the update to be completed. Don't press the 'square' button, it pauses the download.
 If you know any other methods, feel free to comment them over on Suggestions!!

Normally, this screen shouldn't appear, but if it does. It says something along the lines of "We have detected another account on this app. Would you like to start on a new account?"
* Press the pink button and the game will download that account's files.
* Press the blue button if you want to start anew.

If you press the blue button, this should appear. It's asking to confirm your choice.
* Blue button will cancel the process and bring you back to the first screen.
* Pink button will continue and make you a new account. Do note that if you do this, that account isn't going to be deleted.

 Once that's all done, welcome to Download Mobage Fest! It's Absolutely Thrilling Gameplay I hope you enjoy this!

 Once that's done, you'll get one of these two screens.

* The first one, is the regular Title Screen which is what you're supposed to see (this image may change in the case of a campaign of sorts.).
* If you see the second image, that means you downloaded the game at the wrong time as the game is in maintenance. When maintenance happens, everyone is locked out of the game server.

 * This is the part where- if you have played IDOLiSH7 in the past and have a Transfer ID and Password to it, you press the middle button.
* If you press the top button it'll make you a Transfer ID and Password to the account you're about to make. You can do this at a later time, but it's important to do it early on.

 * This is where the game asks if you want to have Voices for the character on(pink) or off(blue). The entire game story is fully voiced with many great Japanese voice actors- so it's pretty download heavy. You can change this anytime.
 * The game will ask for your character name, since we play as Tsumugi Takanashi in the game the default name is Tsumugi (紡).
* By default, your Character Name and Player Name are the same, but you can change it anytime.

 After Segment 4's completion, the game will now take you to the tutorial section of the rhythm game.

You will first have to set your Tapping Calibration. The default is 0.00. The Blue Button will enter testing mode, and the Pink Button will take you off this screen. It will ask if you want to confirm your choice, blue button will cancel the process and the pink button will continue to take you off the screen.

*This segment was taken from the Live portion of the Master Guide.You're not going to see what's above during the Tutorial.*
You will be able to test out your rhythm playing skills in i7 with a brief play session of MONSTER GENERATiON. Below is a guide on how to play the rhythm game.
* There are four places where the notes come from and in those four places is a note hit box. Tap the note hit box when the note reaches the center. "What happens if you don't hit it in the center" We're getting to that.
* There are four type of notes in IDOLiSH7's rhythm game. Silver, Red, Green, and Blue. If notes are connected by a line, then you have to do that action of that note at the same time on them.
	+ Silver Notes are your regular Tapping Notes- you just tap them when they reach the center.
	+ Red Notes are Flick Notes. Flick them in any direction you prefer when they reach the center. ~~These are the bane of i7 players existence.~~
	+ Green Notes are Hold Notes. Press them when the first ball reaches the center and let go when the second ball reaches the center.
	+ Blue Notes are Sliding Notes. Press when the first ball reaches the center and slide in the direction of the light, when the second ball reaches the center let go.
* Tapping grade. Your given a grade on how great you are at tapping notes in the center of the hit box.
	+ The grade in IDOLiSH7's rhythm game are as follow from Well to Not Well. PERFECT, GOOD, BAD, and MISS.
* If you're able to make consecutive PERFECT and GOOD grade on your notes, you'll earn a COMBO.
* The higher your combo count is, the better. There's a chance you'll enter FEVER MODE. Which will change how the screen looks- from not colorful, to colorful rainbow mode, to MV Mode. These modes will increase the Score of the notes you hit.
	+ You will still get the nice score up even if you have MVs off.
* If you combo every note with a GOOD or better, you'll get a Full Combo.
* If you combo every note with only PERFECTS, you'll get a Perfect Combo.
* The thing at the bottom, the C-B-A-S-SS thing, is your score grade.

And after that!! You will now be given the choice of a starter card among the seven members of IDOLiSH7.

Once you tap a member, you will be given two buttons. One where you can view the card's information and the other is the confirm button. All of these cards are pretty weak at their highest rarity (SSR) if we want to talk about them in terms of stats.

 Continue reading through the rest of this **Master Guide** on how to navigate through the game and what does what!

* If you're a new player just starting out- **entering Aikotobas will give you 167 Stellar Stone and 15 Gacha Tickets**. It takes about 13 Minutes or so to enter them all in. There's a guide on how to enter them all in in the *Game Settings* tab- it's under the *Menu* collapsible.
	+ This is also how you can reroll. Do remember that abusing the account creation process for rerolling is frowned upon by Bandai Namco. Do not overdo it.
* The game is actually really generous to new players in terms of giving out Stellar Stones that you don't even really need Aikotobas. Since you unlock 37 Songs upon completing the *tutorial*. **Play those songs they give 16 Stellar Stones if you complete all of the Score and Combo Kinako Challenge requirements on all difficulties.** That's.... 592 Stellar Stones. Well yes that's probably a lot of LIFE used, but you're going be leveling up fast that it sorta doesn't even matter.
	+ The fun part about the above point is that you haven't even unlocked all of the songs that can be played in the game at that point. **Progress through the Main Story and you will unlock more songs to play.**
 * **Play events!** They give out lots of things!! Sometimes they even give out Nanakores which are a You-Get-To-Pick-Which-Card-You-Get-For-Free type of thing. Most of the time those cards aren't really good in terms of gamemeta, but they're really neat to have!
* **Create a Transfer ID/Password**. This is literally the best way to secure that your account doesn't get lost into the void. Something happened to device you use to play i7, like dropping it a little too many times that it's now Broken and Unusable? No worries! You still have your account if you have your Transfer ID/Password. A guide on how to make one can be found in the Data Transfer tab.
* **Save your Scout Points for only Ichiban Kuji cards**. Scout Points are *hard* to come by if you don't plan on gacha-ing much, so it's best to save for cards that are extremely limited like the Ichiban Kuji cards. Those cards *only* come back from Paid Revivals- where you use Paid Stellar Stones. Those cards usually have really good skills. Momo's King Pudding card is an excellent example of an Ichiban Kuji card with a good skill. He's just as good as Riku's RESTART POiNTER card- except he's a beat card.
* **Friend People**. Anyone with an A / S / SS weekly badge is probably the best you're looking for. They usually have really strong cards they can use as their center. If you use a Support card of someone your friends with, both the Center Skill and Appeal Skill of that card will activate during the song. So having friends with strong center/support cards are really important!
 i7 Meta - Cards
* i7 Meta is Dis one. Momo. Strongest shout card in the game and it's only an SSR- beating URs. Wild.
 This will be updated as time passes!

Tap the note hit box when the note reaches the center. "What happens if you don't hit it in the center" We're getting to that.
