I have been a longtime big fan of AKB48, but I only know the names of one or two members. I purchased this game because I really love their music and the game seemed very fun to me. I specifically bought a Japanese 3DS for this game. Despite not knowing any Japanese (only a few words here and there when spoken but nothing written), I found it extremely difficult to navigate the game. I had to improvise while playing, so I had no idea what I was doing. However, I found the games quite enjoyable and liked seeing myself as an AKB48 member. I am unsure how to improve my performance in the game, as I think I finished and scored second? Knowing Japanese would definitely make it easier for me. I am not sure if I will play it again because my lack of Japanese makes it challenging to follow and understand how to play.
