Tatiana and Kul Fyra from Kliff's story are the same person.
According to Kliff, Kul Fyra was a brilliant rock star that set the bar so high, after her career ended, her fans started seeing Rock as dead, which is exactly what Tatiana thinks today, Kliff also says Kul Fyra had red hair and glasses, Tatiana has red shades and her hair has red tips, besides that some of the characters' comments like Mayday saying that Tatiana probably never touched a guitar in her life sound too on the nose not to be ironic.
  • If this turns out to be the case, I can see her boss fight involving her dusting off her ol' axe for an epic rock-off, with pyrotechnics going off, and heavy fire symbolism. And at the end, upon her defeat, Tatiana ends up rediscovering why it was she became a musician in the first place.
  • Tatiana takes particular offense at Mayday accusing her of never holding a guitar in her life. In fact, it causes Tatiana to actually LECTURE May ("Okay, listen honey,") about how you can't live in the past (so perhaps her own past...) and the age of rock and roll is over (the age of rock and roll ended when Kul Fyra's career did). Tatiana may have quite a bit of emotional baggage there (and possibly sees her younger naive self in Mayday too).
  • Confirmed, she was the Kul Fyra, but when her band fell apart she went full on EDM and obsessed with order.
Some of the Megastars will rally behind Bunk Bed Junction later in the game.
Since it's clear that some of them, such as Sayu's creative crew, were just led down the wrong path by NSR, and not really all that evil in the first place.
  • Confirmed, all of the Megastars rally behind Bunk Bed Junction in order to stop NSR's own satellite, hijacked by Kliff, from crashing into their tower and save Vinyl City.
Kliff will turn out to be Evil All Along.
The fact that he knew Mayday's phone number and the location of Bunk Bed Junction's hideout beforehand is more than a little fishy. It's possible he's simply using BBJ to take Tatiana and the Megastars out so he can hijack whatever their scheme is for his own nefarious purposes.
Kliff and Kul Fyra had a shared history of some sort.
The way Kliff reminisces about Ms. Fyra carries a note of familiarity to it. This could be especially significant if the above theory about Fyra and Tatiana turns out to be true.
  • Confirmed, though not in the way you might think. Kliff was an obsessive fan of Fyra, who is Tatiana. Tatiana is familiar with Kliff but just views him as an annoyance. Kliff on the other hand believes he's entitled to her direction in life and wants to take over the city with rock to spite her for turning her back on it.

The game will end on a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, explaining the ultimate fates of Tatiana, the Megastars, and Bunk Bed Junction.
  • Confirmed, sort of. DJ Supernova, Yinu, Eve, and Tatiana are seen still performing, while Bunk Bed Junction still plays underground.
Mayday's Guitar and/or Zuke's Drumsticks will tragically break
It could be part of the climax resulting in a temporary Despair Event Horizon.
  • Confirmed, Mayday's guitar breaks after saving the city from a Colony Drop by Kliff, but is then replaced with Tatiana's guitar afterwards.
  • If you attend the radio sessions, you find that Zuke's drumsticks got broken off-screen by an angry Mayday due to being NSR sticks. He put them back together.
The chance to harass Zuke was Tatiana's intended "apology" to DK West.
Given the extremely bad blood between Zuke and West, Tatiana probably knew that West would jump at the chance to sabotage Bunkbed Junction's efforts solely to spite his brother. After the initial conversation shown in-game, she likely offered this opportunity explicitly as an apology gift, both to further motivate West and to placate his previous anger, since if he had defeated B2J, having him on call might have been useful for the future.
Kliff caused the blackout at the start of the game
There will be a sequel in the future.
  • Since many gamers like the game so much, one can only wonder if there will be a sequel or, at the very least, a spinoff of the game in the future.
    • Kliff could make his appearance as a main antagonist. His outfit already resembles DIO's so a theoretical sequel would upgrade it into a full on reference. His music genre could be something like Math Rock, due to his ties to Rock and Math Rock being known for it's unconventional use of time signatures.
    • Alternately the sequel will have a set of Contrasting Sequel Antagonists who are either Kliff's henchmen or are independent foes who are all different types of Rock and Metal such as Prog Rock or Prog Metal, Electro Rock or Electro Metal, Symphonic Rock/ or Symphonic Metal, Punk Rock or Punk Metal, Chiptune Rock or Chiptune Metal, Industrial Rock/Metal etc
The BAKAT Awards happen multiple times a year.
  • Yinu, who is nine years old, is mentioned to have won six of these awards consecutively. If they happened annually, that would mean she would have to be three years old upon winning her first award. While not totally out of the realm of possibility, it seems a bit of a stretch.
Kliff interfered with the satellite launch at the start of the game.
  • The reason why the technician DJ Subatomic Supernova was speaking to over the phone was having so much trouble launching the satellite was because Kliff was trying to interfere with the process. In the end, he couldn't stop it, but he was able to install some of his own software onto it so he could hijack it at the end. This would also explain why we don't meet him until after that boss fight, by which point the satellite has already been launched.
