* ColorCodedCharacters: Like real idols, each Touken Danshi is assigned a member color, which is reflected in their penlights so that fans can cheer them on during concerts. When the production started out, Toumyu initially used simple colors like blue, yellow, green, pink, purple, and red, but as more Touken Danshi appeared in musicals, the team became more creative with color selection, leading to penlight colors like Opal Green, Vermillion, and Smoky Purple, and so on. Even then, some colors have minimal differences, especially for white-aligned characters like Horikawa, Tsurumaru, and Yamanbagiri Kunihiro. Good luck trying to see the difference between White, Pearl White, and Ivory in the dark.

Even then, so, some colors have minimal differences, differences and are nearly indistinguishable from one another, making it difficult to determine which color to use for which Touken Danshi especially for white-aligned characters like Horikawa, Tsurumaru, and Yamanbagiri Kunihiro. Good luck trying to see during the difference between White, Pearl White, and Ivory in round up concerts unless you know the dark.penlight color order ahead of time.

*** ''Tokyo Kokoro Oboe'' was the first play in the series to feature eight Touken Danshi instead of six, with four slots occupied by Gou swords, Buzen, Kuwana, Samidare, and Murakumo. [[spoiler: This is especially noteworthy because the play was set up to explain the gradually unfolding overarching story involving Mikazuki Munechika, which had been hinted at in previous musicals. The play's use of Suishinshi and Minamoto can be explained by their connections to the abandoned world plot, and Oodenta is related to Mikazuki as one of the Tenka Goken, and Sohayanotsurugi is related to him. However, the Gou swords have no personal connection to Mikazuki, no interactions with him, and no prior involvement in the overarching story, with Samidare and Murakumo in particular appearing to be added to the line-up solely for the purpose of being introduced into the musical continuity. This makes the end of the play, when Mikazuki assigns them significant roles, seem arbitrary because there is no explanation for why he chose them other than them being there at the time]].

Added DiffLines:

* MauveShirt: In the main stories, many of the historical figures are often given a lot of screen time and development, but most are either doomed to die, or are left behind and/or never brought up again after the Touken Danshi finish their mission and leave their time period.
