** Several more moments are given to various characters in episode 12 who were either an ObstructiveBureaucrat earlier, or had their hands tied and couldn't do much to help the students, such as the Principal.

Adding tropes, using \"Konatsu\" instead of \"Miyamoto\" since her first name is used in the rest of these examples.


** Sawa's problems get focused on in episodes 7 and 8. Like Wakana, she gets better as well.



* ImagineSpot: In the first episode, after being told she won't be allowed to sing, Miyamoto angrily pushes books off her advisor's desk and gives her an earful. Then we find out she was just imagining doing that while plopping her face in a sink full of water.

** In episode 11, after Konatsu gives Taichi a sort of rousing speech about giving his best efforts for the club's event at the festival, Wien also gets charged up and tells Konatsu he'll try his best as well. Which throws her off guard as he's [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace right up in her face]] as he says it, and she wasn't really expecting him to take it too seriously. Luckily for them, unlike [[TerribleArtist Taichi]], Wien is pretty good at creating props.



* StartMyOwn: Miyamoto decides to start her own choir club in the first episode after being told she's not good enough to sing in the other one.

* TerribleArtist: Taichi. In episode 11 Konatsu wants him to draw the background settings, and he tries to tell him he's terrible and was told never to draw again. Konatsu refuses to accept it, saying everyone else is doing stuff for the first time, such as Wakana with songwriting and Sawa with choreography. So he tries drawing, and the next day, shows a sketch to Sawa, Konatsu, and Wien...
-->'''Konatsu''': Never draw again.


Added DiffLines:

** Episode 11. Wondering why the principal and vice principal seemed so distraught in earlier episodes? [[spoiler: The school is being turned into a condominium unit, because the principal said they couldn't find enough funding and with the declining birth rate, attendance rates were also low. As a result, he tells the teachers and the parents that they'll have to cancel the White Festival, and will try to allow the remaining students to graduate, but the school is going away. This also explains why the students saw construction men measuring around the school in earlier episodes. Despite that, Wakana suggests they sing together anyway.]]

** She tries to do this again regarding their job in episode 10, but the girls point out that she had already given them approval for it in episode 9. Wakana even points out that going back on her word after she had already approved it would look unprofessional, particularly as the club was using any money made from it for club purposes, which was okay under the school's policies.
* PetTheDog: As much of a [[ObstructiveBureaucrat pain she is to work with]], the assistant principal does at least give Wakana a tip on how her mother wrote songs in episode 10, when the latter was suffering from WritersBlock.


Added DiffLines:

* SickEpisode: Wakana in episode 6.

* WorldOfHam: The main characters when they're doing their job as the West shop rangers in episode 10. Wien is so into it that [[spoiler: when a thief on a bike steals Konatsu's bag that had her album with the Condor Queens, he chases down the thief, on foot, and manages to keep up with him the entire time. When he finally manages to capture the thief, he gets beat up a bit, but then starts singing the theme song of the superhero show he watches. It understandably freaks out the thief when the other characters start joining in with his singing as they surround him.]]
