About Heroic Songs: the Remix!
Heroic Songs: the Remix! is an idol x town-building simulation game in which players develop a land called "The Rift Between Worlds" while growing the game's main heroine, Akari Sunohara, into an idol.
Players build roads and structures and grow the local population, transforming a barren rift into a thriving idol sanctuary.
Over 50 Types of Buildings
The game includes more than 50 types of buildings, split into four categories: "basic facilities" that draw in fans and connect roads and housing; "production facilities" that gather resources; "processing facilities" that convert resources; and "entertainment facilities" that generate "Likes." Likes are a key resource for progressing through the game and can also be earned through touring performances and live shows.
As the game progresses, buildings themed around a variety of otherworldly settings — fantasy, sci-fi, Japanese, and modern — become available.
Idol Stages
Placing a dedicated stage lets idols perform songs and dances for their fans. While an idol is on stage, nearby buildings receive a positive boost, and that effect grows stronger as idols level up through experience gained from live shows and tours.
Live Shows (Rhythm Game)
"Live shows" are short rhythm-game segments lasting around 30 seconds. Hitting the buttons in time and clearing a show unlocks new story content and rewards. As the game progresses further, some idols also gain access to alternate live costumes.
Story Progression
The story advances as players develop the town. Alongside a "Main Story" following ordinary girl Akari Sunohara's growth as an idol, players can also enjoy "Character Stories" that dig deeper into each of the five main cast members.
Synopsis
You were watching a live show by top idol Ruri Tsukuyomi one moment, and the next you wake up in an unfamiliar land. Rescued by an idol-loving girl named Akari Sunohara, you learn from a flower fairy named Mokusan that you and Akari have fallen into an otherworldly "Rift Between Worlds" — and that, for now, there is no way home.
Your only hope lies in the "idol" talent Akari carries. Idols are special beings who restore lost connections between worlds and become a source of hope for their people. Together with Akari, you set out to build an idol "sanctuary" and find your way back to your own world.

An ordinary girl who loves idols. She carries the "idol" quality needed to connect worlds and ends up becoming an idol herself in order to find a way home from the Rift. Though hesitant about performing at first and often frustrated by her own limitations, she grows through her connections with senior idols and fans in the other world.

An "ultimate idol" who reigns at the top with overwhelming presence and vocal talent. Traces of her past appear throughout the otherworldly lands Akari and the others travel through.

An idol from the sci-fi-themed otherworld "Discadia." She appears as a caring senior to Akari, though she seems to be carrying some complicated circumstances of her own.
Kaguya / CV: Risae Matsuda
An idol from the Japanese-themed otherworld "Karan Ashihara." A wild "Enokami" deity, she stands in Akari's path as a powerful rival.
