* CassandraTruth: Miyavi constantly tells Shinni, Fujiko and Kaori that he's from the future, and they laugh it off as one of his quirks. By the end of the film, Shinni and Fujiko believe him.



* SatelliteCharacter: Fujiko and Saori. Shinni to an extent as well.

to:

* TimeyWimeyBall: It's never discussed exactly ''how'' Miyavi catapults backward in time, or manages to return to 2004. He just sort of [[SpecialEffectsFailure breaks into a bunch of squares]] when it happens.
* TurnOfTheMillennium: The film is set opens in 2004.



** In Japanese, ''oresama'' is a highly arrogant way of referring to oneself, affixing the honorific of "-sama" (generally reserved for very important people and to be used with the utmost respect) to the casual masculine form of "me", "ore". [[note]]Giving an example, in the Japanese dub of Film/TheLionKing, Scar almost exclusively refers to himself as ''oresama.''[[/note]]

** In 2004, Miyavi wasn't exactly [[SmallNameBigEgo known outside the]] [[VisualKei visual kei scene]] and was more or less an underground artist. But in ''Oresama's'' 2004, every inch of Tokyo is plastered with posters of his face.

Added DiffLines:

* BigBrotherInstinct: Miyavi to Ryuu. Ryuu exclusively refers to him as Onii-san or Onii-chan, they share the dynamic of an older and younger brother, and Shinni even remarks to Fujiko that they're like brothers. [[spoiler: They're the same person.]]


Added DiffLines:

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: When Miyavi discovers that he's approaching the day in 1984 where he tears a ligament in a soccer game, thus ending his chances of ever going professional, he decides to find his younger self and prevent him from playing in the match. Ultimately averted, as he does find his younger self, but he does not discourage him from playing on that day.


Added DiffLines:

* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: There are factual elements to the story. Miyavi really did tear a ligament during a soccer game that effectively ruined his chances at a professional soccer career, which devastated him. But there's still the whole TimeTravel thing, plus the fact that Miyavi was not as big the celebrity as he was portrayed as in 2004.
** Miyavi was born in September 1981, and the time travel takes him to August 1984. He would have been two weeks and some change shy of his third birthday, but [[spoiler: Ryuu]] is eight years old.


Added DiffLines:

* VoiceoverLetter: The note Miyavi leaves for Fujiko and Shinni.

* BigEater: Miyavi. After the show, Kaori, Fujiko and Shinni are at a diner, where the only person eating is Miyavi...who has about five plates of food in front of him, and is shoveling all of it into his face while the others watch in a mix of disgust and fascination.

Added DiffLines:

** Shinni shows obvious distaste for the music Miyavi plays at first, but when he plays a generic HeavyMetal riff, Shinni is absolutely awestruck.


Added DiffLines:

* ChickMagnet: Miyavi. He's ambushed by school girls thirty seconds into the film, and in 1984, Kaori can't stop fawning over how sexy he is.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Fangirl}}: The schoolgirls in 2004 are almost rabid examples.
** Kaori.


Added DiffLines:

* MakeoverMontage: Played with. It's not directly a montage, but there's a scene where Miyavi gives Shinni a makeover, complete with his music playing as the background track.


Added DiffLines:

* SatelliteCharacter: Fujiko and Saori.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: An unrequited example can be found in Kaori. Kaori's main purpose is two things: book Shinni and Miyavi a show, and to {{Fangirl}} over Miyavi. Fujiko doesn't exist outside of being Shinni's girlfriend.


Added DiffLines:

* VisualKei: This was during Miyavi's visual kei days. He also gives Shinni a visual kei makeover, which was in its nubile stages around this time.

[[caption-width-right:253:The official DVD cover]]
The year is 2004.

Twenty-three year old rock star [[Music/{{Miyavi}} Miyavi Ishihara]] is a major music sensation in his home country of Japan. A superstar of the thriving VisualKei underground scene, he can barely walk out of his apartment in Tokyo without being mobbed by adoring fans, playing sold out venues night after night. This is the life he wanted, the life he left his little home in Osaka City when he was seventeen to live. But a life in the limelight can get exhausting, and he’d be lying if he didn’t say there were times where he missed home. So one night, he decides to get into the car and go to Osaka for a visit, and falls asleep on the way.

Except when he wakes up, he’s no longer in the car. He’s stranded on the train tracks in last night’s clothing, and his hometown looks decidedly unfamiliar. He doesn’t recognize the locals, and can’t figure out why they don’t recognize him, or why [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim they’re all wearing outdated clothes.]] Things get weirder and weirder, until he realizes with a sinking feeling…

[[TimeTravel It’s]] [[TheEighties 1984.]]

So what’s a famous musician stuck backward in time to do? Start a band, of course!
