!!A tro(u)pe of fairytales and dreams starts at midnight:
* AliceAllusion: Alice in Wonderland stands out as the most used theme among other fairytales, with our protagonists named Alicia and [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous Lew]][[Creator/LewisCarroll is]] as a starter. One of the songs is titled Queen of Hearts, even. Plus, many lyrical references are alluding to the wonderland here and there in most songs.
* TheDiva: In the most traditional meaning. Lilian is the first diva of the Bar Masquerade and passed her role to Alicia as Chelsea the Red Diva. Interestingly, Rosetta also got dubbed the White Diva per the official site introduction, despite losing the title to Chelsea in REVOLVER.
* DualMeaningChorus: Many, and we say ''many'', songs in the series have these, and it will be hard to understand when it comes in audio only. The [=MVs=] give better insights into how some lyrics are written in a particular way to amplify the effect.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Queen of Hearts and BULLET have the snippet of Cherry Hunt and REVOLVER, respectively. Interestingly, both are played in the music box version.
* MacGuffin: The Royal Cards, a set of treasures from the late King to his quadruplet sons, the princes.

** Necklace of Hearts, owned by Amor.
** Brooch of Club, owned by Feliz.

!!A tro(u)pe of fairytales and dreams starts at midnight:
* AliceAllusion: Alice in Wonderland stands out as the most used theme among other fairytales, with our protagonists named Alicia and [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous Lew]][[Creator/LewisCarroll is]] as a starter. One of the songs is titled Queen of Hearts, even. Plus, many lyrical references are alluding to the wonderland here and there in most songs.
* TheDiva: In the most traditional meaning. Lilian is the first diva of the Bar Masquerade and passed her role to Alicia as Chelsea the Red Diva. Interestingly, Rosetta also got dubbed the White Diva per the official site introduction, despite losing the title to Chelsea in REVOLVER.
* DualMeaningChorus: Many, and we say ''many'', songs in the series have these, and it will be hard to understand when it comes in audio only. The [=MVs=] give better insights into how some lyrics are written in a particular way to amplify the effect.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Queen of Hearts and BULLET have the snippet of Cherry Hunt and REVOLVER, respectively. Interestingly, both are played in the music box version.
* MacGuffin: The Royal Cards, a set of treasures from the late King to his quadruplet sons, the princes.
* MoodMotif: Magic Ring Night establishes itself as something slightly different from the others, with a hint of a Middle-Eastern vibe.
* MusicBoxIntervals: ''Queen of Hearts'' and ''BULLET''.
* OneWomanSong: Chelsea. Zigzagged as it is actually the name of the cherry blossom tree that Lewis and Alicia found, but the lyrics themselves hint at Lewis and Alicia's thoughts for each other. Alicia then uses Chelsea as her stage name in the Bar Masquerade [[spoiler:after the tree died and was chopped due to a heavy rainstorm.]]
* PlayingCardMotifs: Going hand-in-hand with the Wonderland theme and sometimes appearing in the ending of [=MVs=]. The MacGuffin and four countries/princes also based on this, as follows:
** Ring of Spades, owned by Poder.
** Necklace of Hearts, owned by Amor.
** Brooch of Club, owned by Feliz.
** Earring of Diamonds, owned by Riqueza.
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: To receive the full power, The Royal Cards must be donned all at once. Using only one of them will only bring misfortune as follows:
** Ring of Spades will gain you power but lose your love. [[spoiler:Alam (unknowingly) experienced it firsthand in ''Magic Ring Night''.]]
** Necklace of Hearts will gain you love but lose your happiness.
** Brooch of Club will gain you happiness but lose your fortune.
** Earrings of Diamonds will gain you a fortune but lose your power.
* ShoutOut: So far, the series has a handful of literature references as the base of their songs, with fairy tales and Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland as the biggest ones.
** Twelve o'clock/midnight time lyric appears a lot in the songs, a shout-out to Literature/''{{Cinderella}}''.
* VillainSong: Queen of Hearts, Chesire Game.
