Pick a SR Idol Banner
When you first start the game, you can select one free SR idol of your choice! Simply click on the card you want and confirm using the button on the right. If you can't find the page, there should be a banner link on the home screen and main page.

Gacha
Gacha is one of the main ways of gaining cards in GROWING STARS. You can use the premium currency, Star Gems, to 'scout' for idol Photos that will be added to your collection. 1 scout is 250 Star Gems. 1 10-scout is 2500 Star Gems and will include at least one SR. There are both permanent and limited cards, which only appear for a set period of time.

Free Reroll 10-Scout
When you first start the game, you can scout in a free reroll gacha. This gacha lets you repeatedly 10-scout in the permanent pool of cards for as many times as you'd like until you get the card you want.

Live
Live is the rhythm section of the game in which you can play various Songs. There are four difficulty sections: Easy, Normal, and Hard.
