* Lily dying of an heart attack only because she saw a body hair on her face sounds very silly at first. But when you come to know that she is a transgender girl, it actually makes you think. It's possible that she believed, even unconsciously, that her own body was rejecting her identity. And with all the stress she was feeling at the time, maybe her young body just couldn't take it anymore.

* Initially, viewers might expect that Light Oozaru's harsh side will cause Lily emotional distress. However, when Sakura tells her of Light's two-faced behavior, Lily's only a bit surprised before brushing the matter off, and is perfectly ready to counter Light's "If you keep up the cute act, it'll be sad in a few years" comment - instead, the issue comes from Light unknowingly having picked the same song Lily was going to sing. This is because Lily was a performer in life: she'd been exposed to the dark sides of celebrities years prior, with her father there to help her through any issues that came up.

** Finally, Yugiri, who currently is the only zombie (besides Tae) that has yet to reveal her backstory (and her death), rests her head against the wall, as she slumps down. This could actually give us a hint of her actual death: being beheaded. This is because of how she places her head against the wall, as if she was placing her head a la execution (via beheading). And considering her neck scars, it is slightly safe to say that her death was exactly what you'd think it would be.

* It can be inferred that The Curse didn't need to kill Sakura. After all, despite all her talent, she was ready to call it quits after failing to get into her chosen high school until she was inspired by Ai to become an idol, which made the curse kill her.

* If Lily died from a heart attack, why is her heart physically outside of her body? because her body was autopsied to determine cause of death.

* The reveal that anyone who would bring fame or glory to Saga would be doomed and killed by the curse is this for all those who came to Saga seeking glory, but wasn't a victim of it; White Ryu, Light, Iron Frill. In Ryu's case, it might mean he's ultimately destined for obscurity, accomplishing nothing to bring fame to Saga. In the latter two's case, it might mean that they will either leave no impression on Saga at all, or will ultimately achieve nothing like Ryu. This also extends to other characters like the reformed Doremi gang and Misa's Jetski career, either the curse will catch up with them or they will ultimately fail at achieving their dreams.

** Shortly before we learn about the curse, after Okaba confronted Kotaro, a heavy mascot statue nearly falls on the latter. At first it seems random, yet in light of the curse reveal, it's a clear sign that Kotaro himself is as much of a target as Franchouchou (as he ''is'' the one driving them to achieve fame in Saga).

* The CG was very stiff, dull, and low resolution in episodes 3 and 4's performances; but why has [[AnimationBump the CG suddenly gotten brighter and smoother in this one]]? It's ''empathetic'' CG! This is the first time that the girls (minus Tae) have all acted in sync with each other as professional idols where they had been a fragmented and internally conflicted RagtagBunchOfMisfits. The level of detail in their performances matches the group's progress as idols.

* It was always strange that Lily's father never tried resuscitate his daughter after finding her unconscious on the floor, even if the heart attack killed her instantly. But, then you remember that her mother died back when she was a baby and the shock of having another loved on in such a state must've caused Takeo to completely freeze up and not even try.

* Another reason that Sakura is actually "legendary" to Kotaro, despite his bluster otherwise: he went to school with her while she was alive. Regardless of the exact nature of his feelings toward her, she was the primary inspiration for his CrazyAwesome plan, which he pursued simply so that Sakura could have another shot at idolhood. And related to this, part of the reason Kotaro always wears his CoolShades is likely so that Sakura can avoid recognizing him.

* Yugiri is the one to mention that being recognized as a celebrity can be dangerous, and given her MysteriousPast and neck scar, this lends credence to the fan theory that she was executed for associating with the wrong people.
** Alternatively, considering that she brings this up after the incident in which Saki thought Takeo was trying to harm Lily and kicked him in the head, it's possible that she was abducted and murdered.

* Given later revelations, the scenes of Sakura repeatedly falling short due to bad luck potentially take on a different context. How many of those repeat failures were due to ''actual'' bad luck, and how many were due to the Saga curse trying to keep her down?
