* SpoiledByTheFormat: In ''Chikai no Finale'', [[spoiler:it's pretty easy to predict that the band doesn't make it to nationals just by virtue of the fact that by the time they are competing in the Kansai Contest, there's only 15 minutes left of the movie, and the fact that the ''entire'' performance is shown, thus leaving nothing new for them to show for a potential nationals performance. Just the fact that the Kansai Contest is shown despite the first regional contest being entirely off-screened already is a pretty good hint that that's as far as they'll go.]]

** Chikai no Finale [[spoiler: shows the band's second attempt at reaching nationals ending with a dud gold in the Kansai Competition. After new member Kanade laments that all their work was for nothing, Kumiko just asks "Are you upset?" to which she repeats Reina's words from the prologue verbatim: "I'm so upset I could die." Cue credits.]]

The way the contests work in Japan is that EVERYONE gets either gold, silver or bronze. Note the repeated mention of "dud gold". They didn't place third in the nationals... They were in the BOTTOM THIRD of bands performing.


** In their first run, Kitauji [[spoiler:wins the Kyoto and Kansai Competitions, earning a place in the Nationals... where they place third.]]
