* CracksInTheIcyFacade: The IdolSinger Ai Mizuno starts the series off as quite sour and cynical. After all, she's been dead for ten years, brought back as a zombie for a ludicrous plan to revitalize a niche prefecture, and has largely been relegated to obscurity despite being a national sensation in life. Seeing the determination of her groupmate Sakura shows hints that she might not be as done with idol work as she thought, first when Sakura saves an awry performance in episode 2, and later as the rest of the group is slowly coming together to officialize their new idol group, with Ai noting their optimism for what she thought was just a doomed pipe dream.

It's not explicitly said that this was the reason she was struck, but the idea that making yourself tall will make you more likely to be struck by lightning is purely a myth, as objects at-risk would need to become much taller and more isolated to significantly increase their odds of being struck.

** After succeeding in their first two shows purely by Kotaro and a few of the girls' improvisation, the girls try to crunch in as much practice as they can for their first proper idol performance in Episode 3. The results are that Lily accidentally trips over herself and Sakura completely forgets her lines in the middle of the song, causing the few people they managed to attract to disperse without a second glance. Although the highly experienced Ai and Junko step in and the rest of the show goes off without a hitch, the concert is largely a failure and only manages to attract a single fan, albeit a very invested one, in the end.
** In Episode 6, [[spoiler:Ai's flashback shows her getting struck by lightning when she points to the sky, which is also TruthInTelevision, as pointing up in the middle of a lightning storm is considered to be very dangerous]].
** In Episode 7 shows that while as zombies that girls don't physically need sleep, it's still important for their mental health as Ai starts to hallucinate after going a month without it.
** In Episode 8, the girls acknowledge that people will recognize the similarities each girl has to who they were prior to becoming zombies, after meeting with [[spoiler:Lily's father who says that Number 6 bears a resemblance to his daughter. By first season's end, the reporters who were covering the group likewise notice the similarities between Ai, Junko, and Lily's past and present selves.]] This continues in the second season in which people do comment on the fact Ai resembles herself.

** Also, Kotaro breaking out of his funk to support Franchouchou by shouting "Encore!" only results in him pissing off the unimpressed audience and starting a brawl. Even as the girls find their confidence and pull off their song perfectly, the concert was largely a failure.
** In Episode 4 of ''Revenge'', Franchouchou put on an incredible performance as Iron Frill's opening act, [[spoiler: winning the respect of their lead singer Shiori]]. Despite this they're easily outshined by Iron Frill, the group the audience were actually there to see, and [[spoiler: until Shiori declares Franchouchou their rivals in an interview]] their performance is considered little more than a footnote to the number one idol group's tour.
