Added DiffLines:

* ArcWords: In both Japanese and English, the word "shine" and its derivatives appear throughout ''Sunshine!!'', from their first single's title, "Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru Kai?" (Is Your Heart Shining?), to dialogue, to Mari's catchphrase ("Shiny!"), to the name of the sequel series itself. It always pertains to the image of school idols and often, to Aqours' goal as a group.


Added DiffLines:

* HairstyleInertia: You, Chika, Hanamaru and Yoshiko are shown in flashbacks to have hairstyles with very minor differences to their current ones. Riko is the only one to avert this; she used to wear pigtails as a child.


Added DiffLines:

* NecktieLeash: There's one instance where Dia pulls Mari toward her by her neckerchief when Mari [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny entertains a distraction.]] Unlike most examples of this trope, neither is a man, and Dia's hardly the one with the control in the relationship.


Added DiffLines:

* TitleDrop: "Sunshine!" is part of Aqours' pre-performance cheer, similar to µ's "Music Start!"

Rechecked the timeline: the first two Love Lives happened in the same year, so it really is a four year difference. Also there's no continuity error since the popularity of Love Live was more like a prerelease hype-ish thing.
