The good ending for "The End of the Burning Heart Throbbing" has Hiroshi being greeted by several of his now graduated students, who assure him that they'll never forget him for as long as they live. Hiroshi responds by going all teary-eyed and declaring that the girls are his treasure.
The good ending for "Dance Site of Love" has office lady Sachiko - who's spent the entire song having work foisted onto her by her Jerkass co-workers - getting to dance with the handsome future president Junior during a corporate party, having utterly impressed him with her competence and work ethic. It also says something about Junior that this is the way to win his heart.
"Over The Distance" from the first game. A Breather Episode of sorts, the story details Tetsu Ishida, a young man desperately trying not to pass through the gates of Heaven. We learn that he died in a motorcycle accident, and that he had a fight with his wife, Ryoko, just before he died. He wants to go back so that he can tell her he loves her one more time before he passes on. One of the angels (or possibly a goddess), sympathising, gives him three hours to go back and make his peace with his wife. The song itself (Hitomi Yaida's eponymous song) is a soft, beautiful ballad, far unlike every other song in the game, and what makes it even better is the game averts Mood Whiplash - the Ouendan are completely silent (there's no "Osu!" in between segments and no "San, nii, ichi, sure!" at the start of the song), the sounds of the beats are melodic rather than loud drum beats and whistles, and instead of the usual scream of "OUENDAAAAAAAN!", Ishida simply gives a quiet, heartfelt "Ouendan...". The whole thing ends with Tetsu's ghost appearing in Ryoko's mirror (after he spent the rest of the song poltergeisting to communicate with her), speaking the words "I L-O-V-E Y-O-U" (the kana are spaced out in the Japanese writing, i.e. a-i-shi-te-ru). His wife tearfully replies "You came back just to tell me that...?" as the two embrace. The final requirement to complete the song requires you to trace a track in the shape of a heart. The fact that the level isn't too frustrating, despite being rather late in the game, helps a lot with the emotional factor.note Its counterpart from Ouendan 2, ("Believe") isn't nearly as fondly remembered for being That One Level.
Even though it doubles as a Tear Jerker, the bad ending for the first game shows the now-terrified Ouendan hugging each other as they await their impending doom from the meteor. Both Ittetsu and Atsushi hold onto Hajime or Ryuuta in their respective difficulty modes, while Kai pulls both of them in for a tight hug.
While they do appear in the climax, Ishida Tetsu and Cleopatra appear during the epilogue celebration with the others, Ishida looking from the afterlife while his wife celebrates and Cleopatra appearing in a vision with Mark Anthony and her slaves cheering the Ouendan saving the Earth.
"Believe" is the second game's equivalent of "Over The Distance" (albeit somewhat harder), featuring Mana Shiratori trying to become a great figure skater to honor her recently deceased sister Rina. That premise is sweet on its own, but what really sells it that for the first three parts of the song, hitting all 300's on a beat sequence will have Mana recall happy memories of the time she had with Rina while she skates. And what happens if you do that during the fourth part, when she's representing Japan in a skating competition? She's accompanied by Rina's spirit.
"Glamorous Sky" from the second game. It's the story of a timid boy named Masashi, who finds out that his classmate/crush Sakura is moving in a month. His two friends, Ken and Gon, decide to help him give her a month to remember while also getting his feelings across to her. The three friends take pictures of their class and give them to her in a photo album, turn a tree entirely pink with paper petals to give her a Sakura tree, and drag a cart full of fireworks to her house to give her a show in the sky. At the very end, the three run after her train as she's leaving and Masashi declares his undying love for her which she reciprocates.
"Monkey Magic" from the second game is The Power of Love at work. Saru-kun, a girl's beloved stuffed monkey, and a toy soldier move Heaven and Earth to get back to her after being mistakenly thrown away. At the end, they make it home, and the girl remembers the monkey being there her entire childhood before making sure they can't be parted again.
The finale of the second game: "Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobun da ze!" (That's What the World Calls Love!). We get the Yuuhi Town Ouendan and the Encouraging Nobility working together and saving the world with the Power of Love. LOVE AND PEACE! LOVE AND PEACE!
