* A meta example is when the encore edition was released, Metronomik encouraged the community to post their own fan-art. They received over 500 submissions that can be viewed all over Vinyl City as graffiti and can even be acquired as guitar case art for the pause menu, with each artist being recognized in the credits. Metronomik truly is a company that greatly appreciates its community.
** The content of the graffiti in-universe also gives the impression of the various musical artists and citizens of Vinyl City being rather beloved from Bunkbed Junction, to DK West, to even employees of NSR who aren't even the Megastars like Tatiana, the young creative team behind Sayu, Yinu's mother, and Neon J.
** There's quite a lot of graffiti depicting the relationship between Yinu and her mother in a loving and caring manner especially in the Natura District. It's rather sweet to say the least.
** Despite apparently receiving less fan mail than the other members of 1010, there's a number of solo graffiti fan-art focusing on the green member implying that he does have as much of a fanbase as the others.

** Their family photos tell a story that Yinu's late father taught her to play piano from a young age. After he passed away from a disease, Yinu and her mother kept his photo on their piano to remember him. This paints a poignant but lovely picture that the two play piano to keep the memory of Yinu's father alive.

** The brothers drop their animosity ''so quickly'' once Mayday tells West the truth. Zuke's been angry at his big brother for the better part of a year, and West's resentment is implied to be far older, but once West is open to listening Zuke has nothing but good things to say. West, in turn, seems to abandon all his prior accusations once he's got reason to believe he [[PoorCommunicationKills misunderstood his little brother's actions]] in college, and is the one to initiate the hug. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Only made sweeter by the string of easy health items for Zuke to scoop up in the final stretch.]]

* Though it quickly goes downhill as the fight goes on, when Yinu's mother enters the fight by saving her daughter from the first fall, the prodigy is genuinely happy and grateful, gleefully sneering as her mother quietly encourages her to ignore B2J's bullying and show them how magnificent she truly is. The mother even attacks in synch with Yinu's tempo at first, showing just how well the two can work together. Even after her mid-battle SanitySlippage, her first response to being saved from the Showstopper is praise.

* After Yinu has been defeated, Yinu's mother is about to go on a rampage on Maday and Zuke. ...Until she hears soft, sweet piano music. After calming down, the mother realizes it's her daughter playing on her damaged piano. Though Yinu is as [[TearJerker sad]] as the music she plays, it's enough to reach out to her mother and make her realize she had [[StageMom pushed her daughter too hard]], and how much she previously lost sight of why she plays piano. The Mom begins to play on the other broken half of the piano. Soon, the two are playing together, signifying that they are mending their bond as mother and daughter, having remembered why they love to play music.

** Another small moment during the final rap: Normally when a verse ends, the player has to smack West's shadow monster to deplete his health bar, and if the bar is emptied before the chorus ends, the two will KickThemWhileTheyAreDown. The exception is the final verse of this rap where the two immediately stop their attack after landing the final blow.

-->'''Tatiana:''' It's a funny world we live in. You often get caught up in your own beliefs that sometimes, you need to take a step back and see that the stage doesn't just belong to you. We're all in this together. And the sooner we acknowledge that, the quicker we can work towards a common goal. Everyone plays music for different reasons. Some do it for self-importance, some do it to bond with their loved ones, and some do it to understand their purpose in life. The important thing to know is this: there are no wrongs answers. If we give everyone the opportunity to play their own music, we can build a world where creativity has no boundaries. Well, I'm happy to say that Vinyl City is steadily heading towards that direction. Never have I seen our lights shine so brightly, and it is all thanks to not just [=NSR=] alone, but to the performers, the fans, and everyone who resides in this magnificent city.

** Look at the contrast between the Bunk Bed Junction's new album cover. The first new one shows Eve's symmetrical face in the background, [[TearJerker tearing up]] as her world is shattered. The second cover? The way she and Zuke face away from each other may represent the [[BittersweetEnding bitter end]] of their relationship, but the background shows her tearful eyes closing with relief as her complexion becomes an asymmetrical swirl of pink and white. It's as though it represents her finally coming to terms that she doesn't need to be perfect to love herself.

She is finally given not only closure, but peace of mind. This is pretty kind, given the videos imply she's always suffered from self-loathing, and a lonely sense that no one can relate with her.

* The story of Sayu's creation from HumbleBeginnings as revealed by her boss fight collectibles is actually pretty sweet. Tila, her voice actress, merely began as a fan of the character when Sayu was just an OC on the game's BlandNameProduct version of Website/DeviantArt. She used an image of Sayu in one of her music videos without permission, and when it started to blow up in popularity, she contacted Sayu's creator, Remi, to apologize. Rather than getting mad, Remi loves her song and decides that the two of them should collaborate. At some point, Sofa and Dodo got involved as well, and thus four internet friends created one of the biggest stars of Vinyl City.

Her only complaint is that they never animate Sayu's Reverse Mermaid form ever again, but that's just about it.
