Notes[]
- ↑ 牙を抜かれる (kiba o nukareru, "pulling fangs out") is an analogy for making someone weaker/less aggressive, as taking the fangs out of a predator's mouth makes it less dangerous.
- ↑ When Junna sings ゆめゆめ (yumeyume, "never, ever") and Nana sings 夢 (yume, dream), it is the only time they sing anything together. However, the yume they each sing has a completely different meaning, with Junna saying she will never give up on her dream, and Nana saying her dream is dead.
- ↑ The idiom 霞を食う (kasumi o kū, "eat haze") means to live on low income and not have enough to eat, thus "eating haze (air)". A more literal translation of this line is "go off and eat haze (starve) while you cling to your dream".
- ↑ 屑星 (kuzuboshi, "space trash") literally translates to "garbage star". Reversing the characters creates the word 星屑 (hoshikuzu, stardust) which Karen says in her revue introduction.
- ↑ This is a reference to Junna's revue introduction where she says "Even if I can't see my star, I'll look up from this day on", as well as her last name, 星見 (Hoshimi), meaning "star" (星, hoshi) and "to see" (見, mi).
