* FormerChildStar: Aki Kashiwagi has been in the entertainment business since she was a child, and even though she’s eighteen she still acts like the 12-year-old she claims to be... when the cameras are rolling, at least. Her nasty attitude while they're off earns her the nickname "shit loli", with the other girls even comparing her to [[DrillSergeantNasty a drill sergeant]].

Added DiffLines:

** This is reiterated in the Idol Empire spinoff. While they both do things like attend all their lives, like all their social media posts, and buy a lot of their merchandise, the idols all consider this behavior to be completely normal and nothing they're concerned about since they're otherwise respectful.


Added DiffLines:

* StalkerWithACrush: Averted. During the story mode of Idol Empire, the members of Starnova learn Aki's mother is dating a new guy, and worry that it might be one of their fans who's only dating her to get close to Aki. However, after some snooping they learn that it was not only Junpei, one of their biggest fans, it's discovered her mom was lying to him that she was a college student, and he freaks out and bolts upon learning that his date was not only much older than she claimed, but Aki's ''mother''. While he did like her in part because she resembled Aki, the deception and learning she was the mother of his favorite idol made him flee. None of the girls hold it against him when they learn he was deceived.

* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: Horribly inverted in her bad ending, where becoming the single mother to twins is just another step in her downward spiral, and another factor in her refusal to reestablish a relationship with the producer when they meet again years later.]] In her good ending, her very last scene is holding her newborn child in a hospital, happily introducing her to Starnova.

* TheMentallyDisturbed: In Nemu's route it's revealed that Sena [[spoiler:possessed a form of psychosis that manifested itself as fits of intense jealousy and rage, delusions, and hallucinations. Nemu inherited this mental illness, which is the source of her knife-waving {{yandere}} antics. In the good ending of Nemu's route, Sena relapses into her psychosis and sets out to kill her own daughter, but is stopped by Haruna and agrees to resume her treatment, eventually making progress towards coping and reconciling with Nemu.]]

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: {{Invoked}}, as while they weren't taking the world by storm, Labrador were apparently doing well enough... but were replaced with younger idols due to executive decision, with no chance to object.

* PhenotypeStereotype: Julie, the only half-American in the cast, is also the only blonde. [[spoiler: It turns out she dyes her hair at the end of her route, something hinted at a few times in a few other places.]]



* TooKinkyToTorture: When Julie's antics in her route put Starnova in jeopardy, Mr. Producer decides [[KinkySpanking to administer some corporal punishment]]. [[spoiler:However, this just serves to turn her on and reveals that she has a complex regarding her physically-abusive father.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: She adopts an over-the-top persona in this vein during her route, but it's also quickly clear that she absolutely fits the archetype, constantly throwing insults at the producer whenever she's frustrated with what she sees as his spineless unwillingness to make them both happy and damn the consequences.

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Mariya describes her backstory this way: she hit puberty early and excelled in a variety of sports, extracurricular activities, and academics in middle school. It went to her head, and she decided that it meant she was destined to become someone famous and important, eventually applying to join Quasar and impressing Kamijou with her ambitious interview. It's downplayed in that Mariya ''was'' genuinely talented and good-looking enough to make it into the main ranks of Quasar, something which is made very clear to put her in rare company, and learned to be content with her lot [[spoiler: before Kana's departure and Haruka and her posse's abuse emotionally demolished her and temporarily ended her career]], but in the present day she still sees her younger self as too arrogant and overconfident for her own good.
* NumberTwo: Some routes have her graduate from being an idol singer to help Mr. Producer manage Starnova, using her expertise and seniority to bring the group to new heights.

Added DiffLines:

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Bitter and hurt that Mr. Producer is trying to hand off Starnova to another producer to get away from their burgeoning feelings for one another, because she sees it as both him once again putting the good of the company above what both of them want and yet another man she trusted walking out on her when she needed him like her father did, Julie gets drunk enough to decide to get back at him by [[spoiler: seducing the high-school aged Kile. Although his IncompatibleOrientation prevents this from going too far, it still nearly ends her career and destroys Starnova several times over.]]
