Fan Club

"Pop stars can't make it on their own. They need the help of fans like you to get the audience worked up! Keep time with your friends!"

- Fan Club Description

Fan Club (アイドル aidoru "idol") is the fourth game in Rhythm Heaven.

Rhythm Heaven
Getting a perfect will unlock the soundtrack Thrilling! Is This Love?. The sequel, Fan Club 2, is unlocked later on.

Gameplay
Pop Singer stands in the center of the stage performing her song while her lively monkey fan club cheers her on. The player takes control of the monkey in the front row off to the far right. Certain phrases in Pop Singer's song indicate what action the player must take. When she sings "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" (Japanese: ハイ!ハイ!ハイ!Hai hai hai!) or any other phrase in that pattern, the Fan Club is expected to clap four times directly afterward, following the same rhythm. The other duty of her fanbase is to clap three times and then do a short jump when she recites the line "I suppose" (Japanese: かもね!). The audience echoes her, but stretches out the "I" and adds in a "yeah!" (this is also when they hop). For each syllable repeated by the primates, a clap is performed.

Controls

 * Tap: Clap
 * Flick: Jump

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: The concert continues as normal.
 * Barely: None for this rhythm game. A barely counts as a hit.
 * Miss: The other monkey fans will look at the player with irritated looks.

Rating Notes

 * Superb: "I couldn't ask for better fans!"
 * OK: "Thanks for your support!"
 * Try Again: "I thought you were suppose to be my biggest fan..."
