** For the Summer Sonia arc, the big villain is competing musician Keiji Maezono, a self-proclaimed genius who composes, arranges, and devises all his lyrics, music and dance performances himself. He is certainly the dirtiest artist Eiko and Kongming have to face up till then, using ghostwriters to compose his music, unafraid to use his [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney dad's money]] however he wants to maintain his reputation, and even willing to sabotage other artists with everything from slander to hired muscle. He's also directly competing with Eiko for Maria Diezel's attendance at their Summer Sonia performances.

* AdaptationalModesty: Azalea's performance outfits in the drama are much less revealing than they were in the original story, as all 3 girls wear the same costume and the most skin they show is just [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine their midsections.]]
* AdaptationExpansion: In Episode 3, Eiko goes to see Mia Iriomote to thank her for the opportunity to perform at Club Warp, and they go out to eat barbecue together where Mia inspires Eiko that it's time to start making original music instead of singing covers.
** The drama has 3 mini-episodes titled ''Paripi Kanu and Chouhi''[[note]]''Party People Guan Yu and Zhang Fei,'' rendered in the fansub as ''Ya Boiz Guan and Zhang!''[[/note]] where Jet Jacket and Azalea are scheduled to do a joint concert together, and both are intimidated by the other group. They respectively happen to run into Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and each band begs them to become their tactician.
** The story starts moving in its own direction after Episode 6 when Kongming's first volume of his Plan for World Peace is complete. While the goal is the same as in the original storyline, which is to come up with original music for Summer Sonia, the route it takes is rather different. Case in point, Episode 7 largely concerns Mia's own struggles with her music label and how it's holding her back as an artist, whereas in the manga she didn't get much more screentime after her initial appearance.
** Episode 8 has Kobayashi tell Kongming about his past and how he became a Three Kingdoms fan, his first meeting with Maria Diezel, and how he came to own BB Lounge after a stint as a gangster, details of which not part of the manga. Eiko also runs into Sekitoba Kung Fu while looking for a seal at a bridge, and she ends up telling him about her strained relationship with her parents, whereupon he advises her to patch things up with her family before it's too late. This spurs her to return to Kyoto, starting a chain of events where she finds an old tape of a childhood song that inspires her to create a new song from.
** Episode 10 has Eiko perform "I'm Still Alive Today" with Maria Diezel at Summer Sonia. In the manga, Maria simply watched the performance as Eiko sang "Dreamer."
* AdaptationOriginConnection: In this drama, Kobayashi turns out to be well-acquainted with Maria Diezel from long ago and once insulted Keiji Maezono.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Mia Iriomote is much less of a selfish antagonist in this version, as Eiko ends up becoming friends with her after the Club Warp performance, and she later has an episode devoted to her own struggles as a singer and then bailing out Eiko in the final episode.
** The Kyoto arc being cut down to half an episode resulted in showing that Eiko misunderstood her mother as being against a musical career thanks to poorly remembered childhood memories, as opposed to her firm opposition in the manga that required an entire arc to overcome.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 7 largely focuses on Mia Iriomote's troubles with her label and declining image among her fans.
** The ''Paripi Kanu and Chouhi'' mini-arc gives more time to shine for the members of both Azalea and Jet Jacket.
* AscendedExtra: Kongming's spy plays a much bigger role in all his scheming in this drama than her manga/anime predecessor did.
* CompressedAdaptation: After the Azalea arc, the story pretty much jumps right to the preparations for Summer Sonia, skipping both the Kyoto arc and the formation of the Fourth Kingdom record label arc.
* BaitAndSwitch: In the finale, [[spoiler: it looks like Kongming may have been returned back to the Three Kingdoms era when he has his vision of meeting Liu Xuande come to its fruition when Eiko starts wandering around calling out for him... only for her to find him in the rear office simultaneously crying and laughing while she tells him to come on out and take pictures for the Summer Sonia afterparty.]]
* BigBad: Keiji Maezono is shown from early on to have taken an interest in Eiko's singing career, and he plans to crush her to humiliate Kobayashi and gain ownership of BB Lounge.
* BlandNameProduct: In Episode 9, Kongming buys some of East South's [=CDs=] using "[=PayPay=]".
* CoolBike: At the end of Episode 3, Kongming's entrance for the rap battle with Kabetaijin has him ride out in a ''ridiculously'' [[BlingOfWar over-the-top decorated]] motorcycle.
* DisasterDominoes: On the way to Summer Sonia in the final episode, Kobayashi's car first gets blocked by construction, then a film shoot, then another car breaks down behind, and there are no taxis available for Eiko to use. [[spoiler: All of which was engineered by Keiji Maezono. Fortunately, [[BigDamnHeroes Mia]] shows up on a motorcycle to get Eiko there on time.]]
* DrowningMySorrows: Mia Iriomote gets fired from her label in Episode 7, and calls Eiko to meet her again at a barbecue joint to get plastered and vent about it.
* GenderFlip: The male fan of Eiko's who was Kongming's spy in the manga and anime is a girl in the J-drama.
** For a more minor example, the police officers who confront Nanami about her unlicensed street performance were originally a man and a woman, but are both women in the drama.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: The series has a ''lot'' of Mandarin dialogue. The standard intro features Mandarin narration summarizing the plot, every flashback scene set in Three Kingdoms-era China has all dialogue spoken in Mandarin, and whenever Kongming explains his schemes, it is done with a Mandarin voiceover. In Episode 9, Kongming's sutra as he prays for victory in Summer Sonia is spoken in-universe in Mandarin.
** Tsuyoshi Kondo sometimes makes random exclamations in English, much as he did in the original story.
* InstantExpert: In Episode 7, Kongming becomes an expert bowler for the first time just by observing how people at the bowling alley play.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: At the end of the 3 mini-episode arc ''Paripi Kanu and Chouhi'' it's revealed that [[spoiler: there was a Three Kingdoms convention going on next door to Jet Jacket & Azalea's concert leaving it up in the air as to whether the Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both groups met were just cosplayers or real reincarnations like Kongming. For those curious, the manga has short stories in Volumes 5, 7, 8, and 9 showing that Guan Yu at least has indeed been reborn in the modern day but not in Japan.]]
* PottyEmergency: In Episode 3, Kabetaijin's stomach ulcer starts acting up after he runs away from Sekitoba Kung Fu coming to his apartment and demanding a rap battle. He starts frantically looking for a public restroom but every one he comes across has an "Out of Order" sign taped to it. It's all Kongming's doing as he has left a trail of signs pointing to a restroom that leads to BB Lounge.
* RecurringDreams: Kongming has dreams of his old life in Three Kingdoms-era China. In Episode 6, he realizes that whenever he has these dreams, he always wakes up before he meets his lord Liu Xuande. He starts wondering if this may mean his time in 21st century Japan may be limited and what it would mean if he actually does meet Liu Xuande in the dream. [[spoiler: In the finale, his dreams are concluded during a vision while he's awake where he does meet Liu, but nothing dramatic happens and he's still in BB Lounge at the end.]]
* WritersBlock: In Episode 7, Eiko has trouble coming up with a second song to perform at Summer Sonia. She spends so much time stressing over it that she neglects to eat or sleep until she eventually faints and has to be hospitalized. In Episode 8, she is finally able to overcome said block when she listens to an old cassette tape of her childhood when she would play music with her father and finally compose a new song, "Time Capsule."

* AdaptationalBadass: Kongming never gets in any physical fights in the original story, but in Episode 6, during the post-concert party at BB Lounge, Karasawa gets so upset with Kongming that he actually tries to attack him with his cane, but Kongming swiftly disarms him in a single move.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The first episode ends with a post-credits scene of Keiji Maezono performing a dance routine and talking a bit about his philosophy on music.
