In order to replicate this, start a performance with a group which has the Climax Appeal \u201cOver the Top\u201d selected. Liven up the performance as usual, but choose to retry after having activated \u201cOver the Top.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After restarting the performance and using \u201cOver the Top\u201d again, some of the sizes of the mics that appear here will have enlarged compared to before. The change in the size of the microphone accumulates every time \u201cOver the Top\u201d is activated and the performance is retried, so repetition of this can create a huge microphone.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><figcaption>Normal mic size<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><figcaption>After 10 retries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This bug became well-known after the \u201cArtist\/DJ\/Streamer\u201d viva_h tweeted about it.

In addition to Takane, Tsumugi Shiraishi\u2019s mic also started to get bigger, while Kohaku Okuzora\u2019s mic surprisingly began to slightly shrink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite a change in size being the common factor, it\u2019s curious that Takane\u2019s mic would become so large, and yet Kohaku\u2019s would conversely get smaller. Putting the evidence together with what happened to viva_h, the four girls whose mics became larger are all above 160cm tall and Takane stands the tallest at 169cm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Kohaku Okuzora is on the shorter side compared to those four girls at 157cm and her mic got smaller. While the true cause remains unknown, it seemed like the height of the idol has some effect on the change in size of the mic.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1068\" height=\"601\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-008-1068x601-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-008-1068x601-1.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-008-1068x601-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-008-1068x601-1-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-008-1068x601-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-008-1068x601-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-008-1068x601-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-008-1068x601-1-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-008-1068x601-1-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><figcaption>After three retries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211027-180376-009-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><figcaption>After six retries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In order to prove this hypothesis, we conducted a further test. This time we selected Kirari Moroboshi, Sakuya Shirase, Kaho Komiya, Kohaku Okuzora and Takane Shijou (left to right). We added two girls who are taller than Takane to see if anything changed with Kirari (186cm) and Sakuya (175cm). While the performance and song were different from our first test, Kirari and Sakuya\u2019s mics did indeed get larger the more times retried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we can surmise from these results is that the mics of the tallest idols continue to grow in size by repeatedly retrying the performance after activating the Climax Appeal \u201cOver the Top.\u201d It must be restated that this bug caused no negative effects gameplay-wise. It\u2019s overall just a harmless, yet odd bug that only occurs under very specific circumstances.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Idolmaster: Starlit Season <\/em>is currently available on PS4 and PC via Steam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Idolmaster: Starlit Season\u2019s mics grow larger with every retry, due to a bug.
