* FakeBalance: While it's not known how the Live Jack teams for each Live Jack event are set up (other than the fact that how many girls with Platinum cards each team has is seemingly ignored), there seems to be some effort made in balancing the teams due to the rosters changing every time, yet they're still imbalanced enough that the winning team will be leading the way after at least 7 of the 8 rounds, which has happened for every edition so far. And the winning team is always the one with the most or joint-most such girls.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There are 48 idols in this game.[[note]]Actually 49, if one counts Hitoha and Futaba separately.[[/note]]

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: Coney's real identity being [[spoiler:Nicole, the leader of the 7th Sisters.]] It would have been a SecretIdentity if she wasn't so terrible at hiding it, not that it stops her from denying it at every opportunity. In the prologue, the player character's predecessor almost lets it slip twice, only for Coney to interrupt him with a Coney chop both times. Early on Haru finds out (but plays along anyway), [[{{Fangirl}} Rona]] sees through it instantly, and all it took was asking for her age for Ume to confirm her identity. Before long it becomes common knowledge to everyone except the player character.

* NameOrderConfusion: The names of the idols with Japanese surnames as they appear on cards in English are in Eastern order, but everywhere else they're in Western order.[[note]]The only exception are Karakuri sisters, whose name is shown on the loading screen in Eastern order for some reason.[[/note]] And then there's [[http://t7s.jp/site/pc/image/campaign/wallpaper/sl/09.png this.]]

** Live Jack events in a nutshell. Though the team with the most girls with Platinum rarity cards always has a clear edge.

* PrestigeClass: Accessible to any Gold Star or Platinum Star idol card that is not No Type, and which has been given the right Item Produce item corresponding to the card's attribute: Vocalist -> God Voice, Varadol -> Comedienne, Model -> Actress, Player -> Star Player, Dancer -> [[TheTrickster Trickster]]. The card will gain 5% HP and Attack.

* NonindicativeName: This is the reason for KARAKURI's initial challenge to 777☆SISTERS: because they aren't actually sisters (save for Sanbon Ribbon). The 7th Sisters aren't actually sisters either.

* MarathonLevel: The ''"Memory of "Blossom"'' event, based off the Chain The Blossom concert, had two really long songs, which are actually medleys taken from the concert.

* GameBreakingBug: Inverted for Clover during the first Live Jack event, played straight for every other team. Due to a bug with calculating the number of fans in each node[[note]]the effect of the bonus fan gain from longer win streaks was ''much'' greater than intended[[/note]], Clover, considered the weakest team in that event, [[CurbStompBattle took over almost the entire map,]] occupying all but one node for two hours straight. When the bug was fixed, they failed to capture even a single node for the next two rounds.

* ElementalTiers: Vocalist is considered the strongest, as it has by far the most Platinum cards (mainly due to being the only attribute to have more than one representative in the 7th Sisters) and the most high ATK cards, and the Vocalist team has dominated every single Performatch to date. On the other hand, Model is at the bottom of the pecking order, due to how few high ATK cards it gets; at one point the Model card with the highest ATK was type changed from Vocalist.

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: The order goes Vocalist > Varadol [[note]]Variety Idol, or simply Variety in the Thai server[[/note]] > Model > Player > Dancer > Vocalist. Of course, this doesn't mean that CompetitiveBalance is in play; Vocalist has by far the most Platinum cards (mainly due to being the only attribute to have more than one representative in the 7th Sisters), and the Vocalist team has dominated every single Performatch to date.

* ButtMonkey: The Manager in the story episodes.

* TooAwesomeToUse: The PS sunglasses Coney can sparkle any card at any level with 100% chance of success, raising its level cap, but in practice you're going to hoard them until a card that's actually worth sparkling (such as [[GameBreaker Mana's first PS]]) comes by. And even then if an even better card comes out, that means you just wasted them. And of course there's no way you're going to use them at lower sparkle levels (below level 20) when you can farm BS and SS sun21glasses Coneys on weekends for that. The GS Coney is also this to a smaller extent, as there are few GS cards worth sparkling beyond level 20.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: Par for the course with an AllegedlyFreeGame. Infamously, the rates for the top three rarities were 1%/1%/4% prior to the 4th anniversary when the gacha rates were raised to a far more generous 3%/4%/7%. And in the {{chuunibyou}} episode event which rewarded the first event GS+ card, the event GS+ was mathematically impossible to get without buying stamina charges (the fact that [[EnsembleDarkhorse Makoto]] was said event GS+ didn't help matters).

** Sparkling any GS+ or PS card beyond level 20, which increases their level cap (from a base of 99 for both rarites) by the same amount, to a maximum of sparkle level 30 (level 129) for GS+ cards and sparkle level 40 (level 139) for PS cards. Either a ''lot'' of high rarity cards featuring the same character as the target card (and/or GS sunglasses Coneys, which would have easily worked on a GS card), or [[TooAwesomeToUse a single PS sunglasses Coney]], is required to sparkle the card by ''one'' level, and for PS cards, only P or PS cards will work. GS Coneys, while comparatively much easier to get than PS Coneys, are still not easy to get, and are better off used on GS cards. GS+ cards, being generally weaker than PS cards and not much stronger than GS cards, lie more on the Impractical side, as even if you ''can'' sparkle such a card, there are generally better options, while PS cards lie more on the Aweswome side, as there do exist cards of this rarity which clearly can be worth sparkling beyond level 20, most notably [[GameBreaker Mana's first PS]] (but most extremely high ATK cards also apply).
