[[folder:''The Resonance of Hatsune Miku'']]
A few months after the events in Utau City, Miku notices the Noise attaching themselves to the people of Pyntroc and worsening their moods. She enlists the members of Leo/need, MORE MORE JUMP, Vivid BAD SQUAD, Wonderlands×Showtime, and Nightcord at 25:00 to put on a collaborative performance to help lift everyone's spirits.
!!''The Resonance of Hatsune Miku'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationalContextChange: In ''Colorful Stage'', each unit had a song birthed from their SEKAI at the conclusion of their main story. Some of these songs are given new origins detailed in ''Resonance''.
** All the songs that Wonderlands×Showtime performs for the concert - ''The World Hasn't Even Started Yet'' included - are the result of Rui trying to compose music for their shows in Phoenix Wonderland and getting carried away.
** MORE MORE JUMP's "Newly Edgy Idols" was originally put together using Mai's vocals sampled from a work-in-progress by her group with ASRUN, back before Haruka triggered her accident. During the concert, they perform it for the opening and have Miku sub in for Mai. [[note]]It's noted in the author's comment that Newly Edgy Idols" is the only one of the group where Miku's lines can't be adequately substituted by one of the other members of the unit itself, due to the song serving as an introduction to each member.[[/note]]
* AscendedFanboy: It's specifically noted that all the Players from Utau City being fans of Glory Music is "no fiction". Leo/need has already had the honour of being their opening act at the end of ''Journey'', and for ''Resonance'' they and the others all get to perform in a giant concert of Miku's hosting.
* ContrivedConcidence:
** In addition to the example in FakeMemories below, Phoenix Group happened to be trying to construct a new Phoenix Wonderland location at the time of the tsunami, with assistance from Riley Entertainment. Thus, when Wonderlands×Showtime - and, by extension, the rest of the returning Players - come back following the events of ''Journey'', they find that Phoenix Group was ''not'' wiped out with Utau City, thus ensuring they have some support beyond what Glory Music and DIVA's Reapers can provide.
** Also [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] in a conversation between An and Haruka, where it's revealed that the former idol who inspired Haruka was not based in Utau City. An imagines [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee how Haruka might react]] if it turned out said idol was in Pyntroc and happened to be in the crowd during Miku's concert.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Miku gets accused of this when she initially pitches the concert idea to everyone. Of course, once she explains her motive, everyone rapidly gets on board.
* DrivenToSuicide: Mafuyu's case is examined again in Pyntroc. Shizuku notes that, because of the cataclysm in Utau City, [[AbusiveParents something]] seems to be "missing" that is preventing her from wanting to disappear like she did before.
* EarWorm: Referenced when Rin listens to MORE MORE JUMP's songs pre-concert, complaining that she's gonna have them stuck in her head all day.
* EntertaininglyWrong: The story opens with Kanade reading comments on N25's newest song; someone observes that their "hiatus" started shortly before Utau City's cataclysm, and theorizes that one of the members lost someone in the disaster. Of course, the ''real'' reason is that they were dead before the tsunami, and trapped in Artemis and Namine's Game for the year.
-->'''Kanade:''' If only it was that simple.
* FakeMemories: The consequences of year-dead Players being restored to life are fully revealed in ''Resonance'', as various people in the environs surrounding Utau City received memories of events to protect TheMasquerade.
** A pileup of ContrivedCoincidences, meant that the twenty musicians were all on the ''outskirts'' of Utau City when the tsunami hit and were "merely" gravely injured rather than killed. As such, several tourists who had been en route to the city at the time found them, realized they were still alive, and took them to various hospitals in nearby towns.
** Everyone was more-or-less recovered at the time Glory Music made to relocate to Pyntroc, where they happened to cross paths with these "survivors" and help them find the friends they'd been separated from. Afterwards, they all decided to head to Pyntroc, where they had as much support as possible.
* HappilyFailedSuicide: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], but Mafuyu seems to be on her way to this trope, as discussed during a conversation with Shizuku. In contrast to the others, who have tried to "continue what [they] were doing before" upon arriving in Pyntroc, she initially tried to let herself die again, as per Miku's promise that she could "disappear properly" if they were freed from the Game.
-->'''Mafuyu:''' But there was something... different about it, now. And for some reason, I didn't want the end to come. In Utau City, I got [[HopeIsScary tired of hoping I could find what I'm looking for]], but that tiredness didn't come with me, here to Pyntroc. So I started doing things again, one by one. Sleep. Food. Nightcord. Music. School. Archery club. And when I felt like my days had enough in them, I didn't look for any more.
* HeroicRROD: Kanade, [[GeekPhysiques of course]], though it's PlayedForLaughs this time. She overworks herself almost to the point of collapse during N25's first rehearsal, and Mizuki very pointedly takes her shopping for a performance outfit that breathes better than her sweats. A mattress is set up backstage at the concert to help avert this, but even then she's out of breath by the time they finish N25's setlist.
* MythologyGag
** Miku sends Ichika, Minori, Kohane, Tsukasa, and Kanade a music file while in a state too tired to write an email or even name the file, so it ends up being designated "Untitled" - a.k.a. the track from ''Colorful Stage'' that lets everyone access their respective SEKAI.
** Each of the groups discusses the concert with a member of Glory Music who corresponds to the initial members of their respective SEKAI in ''Colorful Stage''. Meiko and Len talk to Vivid BAD SQUAD, Kaito speaks with Wonderlands×Showtime, Rin discusses with MORE MORE JUMP, and Luka visits Leo/need. N25 ends up practicing at Piapro Studio with Miku, since she was the only Virtual Singer in Empty SEKAI at launch.
** Meiko goes a step further by meeting the Vivids at a café, referencing her job as a barista in Street SEKAI.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: PlayedForLaughs when Saki's synth gets ruined by water damage, and [[NoIndoorVoice Tsukasa]] helps her pick out a new one.
-->'''Shiho:''' Your brother has an ear for quality.\\
'''Saki:''' When you're that loud, you learn to make sure you're heard clearly.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Kanade is the first to get on board with Miku's concert idea, happy to try and perform if it means possibly saving someone from the Noise. The next time we see her, [[HeroicRROD she's practically passed out in Piapro Studio after trying to rehearse a dance routine]], after pushing herself too hard. For the day of the concert, a mattress is brought backstage for her to rest on, and N25 is given the middle-of-the-show slot so that she has time to recover between setup and their performance.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: An is revealed to have been watching Haruka's idol shows because of their past friendship.
* UnseenNoMore: In-universe, Miku's concert is the first public appearance of the members of Nightcord at 25:00.
