* NonSingingVoice: Each of the main girls plus Hikari, [[spoiler: Hime and Ringo]] has two actors - one for speaking, and one for singing, with the singing girls coming from a specially formed unit named STAR☆ANIS. Justified that songs in the first season are lifted straight from the arcade game which appeared earlier. Also, Naoto is voiced by Toshiyuki Toyonaga, but the singing is done by Kenta Harada, the vocalist of Rey.
** The girls of Dream Academy share their singing voices with some of the girls from Starlight. Seira shares her singing voice with Aoi (only a much deeper pitch), Key shares hers with Kaede (which doesn't serve a problem like with Aoi and Seira, as Kaede has not once sung a solo in the first season). Sora shares her singing voice with Ran (lighter pitch), and Maria shares hers with Sakura (slightly lower pitch).
*** Two new idols are introduced in the second half of the second season - Akari and Mikuru, whose singing voices are provided by Ruka and Mona, who joined STAR☆ANIS following the graduation of Sunao (Ran / Sora's singing voice) and Moe (Yurika's singing voice).
