- Not Helping Your Case: While Ami has a mental crisis over coming up with lyrics that can't compare to Toshiyuki and Kyoko's dreams, Usagi and Chibi-usa explain to them about her own dreams of being a doctor while being a dedicated student. This only makes her feel worse as she believes she isn't in the same field as the composers.
- No, You: After VesVes openly questions if the Sailor Guardians feel embarrassed about saying corny stuff, Chibi Moon declares that she should be the one who's embarrassed.
- Running Away to Cry: Ami excuses herself from Toshiyuki and Kyoko's music studio so she can cry about how her lyrics aren't good enough for their work.
- Skewed Priorities: All the girls would rather talk about what Ami was writing about instead of talking about the new enemy like the cats wanted.
- Speak in Unison: The Inner girls plus Chibi-usa do this after they overhear from Toshiyuki how Ami said so much about them.
