1	* AdaptationFirst: While none of the games have received an official international release, the anime is streamed on Website/{{Crunchyroll}} and released by Creator/SentaiFilmworks for home video in America.
2	* CashCowFranchise: It became {{Creator/Broccoli}}'s most successful VN series since ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'', spawning five main games, two rhythm games, Drama [=CDs=], manga, five anime series, amd three movies. The money obtained with this franchise has allowed them to hire Kazuki Yone of ''VisualNovel/{{Hakuouki}}'' fame to illustrate their next game, ''VisualNovel/KamigamiNoAsobi''.
3	* {{Defictionalization}}: At least once every year, Broccoli will release a clothing product designed by the main boys. 2014 had T-shirts, 2015 had [[http://utapri.com/sp/parka/ sweaters]] and 2016 has couple T-shirts (they're meant to be matching items for couples). Broccoli's marketing department excels in this strategy: they also released real-life plushies of Super Reiji-kun (an UglyCute plush first seen in ''All Star'' at Reiji's family's shop, who has it at the counter as it was made by Reiji's sister) and a collection of items inspired by the series' main three mascots: Piyo-chan, Onpu-kun and Tokiya's penguin.
4	* DuelingShows: The anime first aired alongside the first season of the 2011 ''Anime/TheIdolMaster'' adaptation. Moreover:
5	** The protagonist of [=UtaPri=] is named Haruka '''''Nana'''''mi. The girl considered as the main character of [=iM@S=] is named Haruka '''''Ama'''''mi.
6	** Both shows feature twins, although Shou's twin brother Kaoru does not appear in the anime.
7	** Tokiya and Chihaya are quite alike in demeanor and looks.
8	** Both shows are centered on music and showbiz, with [=iM@S=] on the more realistic side of the scale compared to the loftier fantastical [=UtaPri=] side of the scale.
9	* FollowTheLeader: A lot of the works centering on fictional male idols in generations following Utapri's release take major inspiration from it, which led to it becoming a TropeCodifier for the idol genre.
10	* NoDubForYou: Played straight for English, but curiously averted for Latin America, despite the lack of a English dub track would had prevented a dub in that region.[[note]]Latin American dubs normally works with English-language scripts done from English dubs. Since the show was never dubbed to English, the script was translated directly from Japanese instead.[[/note]]
11	* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: [=UtaPri=].
12	* TropeCodifier: For fictional male {{Idol Singer}}s.
