* IntergenerationalFriendship: Tech and Shine appear to be around the same age- 20 and 18 respectively- but chronologically Tech is 11 and Shine is only 2. This difference is made most obvious with Tech and Shine’s differing views of the state of the idol industry. Tech doesn’t even recognize any of the idols currently employed at First Sound Entertainment, while Shine wasn’t even alive when Tech and all her coworkers were active performers.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: [[spoiler: Shine is able to bypass a lot of the difficulty with getting to contact idols and idol agencies while pursuing her career from her friendship with retired idol Tech. This connection allows her a meeting with the idols at First Sound Entertainment, something pretty much impossible for the average person as Shine would know from being a paparazzi. Many characters praise Shine for being so resourceful.]]

* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: [[spoiler: Shine’s admiration of and newfound friendship with Tech is tested at the end of chapter 7 when Tech gets angry at her for wanting to pursue her lifelong dream of being an idol. Tech’s unintentionally insensitive remark about Shine being worthless for not singing, which she said without knowing about Shine’s voice bug, makes Shine avoid Tech and worry that everything she knew about her was wrong. Then, in chapter 9 (the final chapter of the prologue), Tech meets up with Shine again and clarifies that she was going too far trying to warn Shine about how harsh the industry is because of how they treated her when she became unable to sing. Shine accepts the apology and the two get along well in the following chapters, with Tech even directly supporting Shine’s future career.]]

Nurse Kiyoteru tells Shine that Yuki might be willing to do it for a Miku (which Shine is) but that he’d never let her risk losing her medical licence.

* CaughtTheHeartOnHisSleeve: [[spoiler: Tech's unintentional disparaging comment towards Shine in chapter 7 sticks in her mind enough that she has a nightmare about it, so the moment she spots Shine again she runs up to her and grabs her sleeve, hoping that Shine will hear her out and accept her apology.]]

Although Shine initially argues against her, she does agree with Roll's suggestion for her to try and get a famous Miku's contact information, and later confesses to Gumiya that she feels like Roll was right about her not being suited to being an idol.
