Gameplay

The game's main gameplay is in "Live" mode, in which players tap on the five buttons at the bottom of the screen at the proper time to receive a score. A combo score multiplier is given for maintaining a chain of consecutive hits without missing notes. Concert footage of the songs are played in the background. Scores are then classified into C, B, A, S, or SS rank, with C being lowest and SS being highest. Songs are divided into three difficulties: "Normal", "Pro", and "Master"; a fourth "Pro+" is available for select songs. A "Live" difficulty level is provided just to watch the concert footage.

There are a total of 49 songs included. Songs span all nine Keyakizaka46 singles, Hiragana Keyakizaka46's album Hashiridasu Shunkan, and Hinatazaka46's first single "Kyun".

Team formation

Uni's On Air utilizes a gacha system known as "photography" (撮影) to acquire cards known as "scenes" (シーン) that feature a member of Keyakizaka46 or Hinatazaka46. Cards are classified into five colors: red, blue, green, yellow, or purple; they are also classified into three rarities: R, SR, and SSR. These cards can then be built into five-unit teams; using the same color card as the song yields a higher score.

Cards may be leveled up in two ways. In "level lesson" (Lv レッスン), players may increase the card's level through "lesson points". In "talent blossoming" (才能開花), players upgrade specific attributes in an hierarchical order. Talent blossoming also unlocks other content, including more pictures, interview footage, voice recordings, and costumes.

The game features 25 Keyakizaka46 members and 19 Hinatazaka46 members, some of which have already left their respective groups.

Other content

The game also features an "office" (事務所), where players can talk to members, decorate the rooms, and offer "catering" (ケータリング) in exchange for in-game currency. "Dramas" are also included, where players can watch fictional stories featuring the members.
