* Other than the main characters above, some of their moms are (rarely) shipped to each other, making their relationships better than staying with their husbands.

* If you play ''School Idol Festival'' on [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHolidays Valentine's Day and White Day]] involve her giving chocolates to Kotori specifically and her returning the favor a month later in White Day fashion, albeit it's ambiguous if it's romantic or friendship chocolates. However keep in mind, everyone else's quotes are pretty generic sayings like "I want chocolates" (sadly even Kotori's).

** Their School Idol Quest story illustration has them dressed in ''[[https://twitter.com/pKjd/status/813404873404260352 traditional Japanese wedding clothes]]''. At this point, it's as subtle as a brick to the face. [[labelnote:note]]However, at least '''''most''''' of the fans treated this visual as them being HappilyMarried ''for real'' rather than them doing a casual alternate costume photo-shoot.[[/labelnote]]

** The Season 2 Volume 2 BD gave them their own duet song: "Zurui Yo magnetic today", showing both of them in a very {{tsundere}} dynamic.

* They got a duet song called "Glass no Hanazono" (from the sixth volume of the first season's BD version), which talks about a maze of lilies ({{yuri}} in [[DoubleMeaning Japanese]]) and a forbidden love... It's just as unsubtle as you can get without going overboard.

* Similar to Nozomi and Eli's "Garasu no Hanazono" and Nico and Maki's "Zurui Yo magnetic today," Umi and Kotori share a duet song in the form of [[https://youtu.be/0sBBWvTX9Sk "Anemone Heart."]] Similarly to the two previously mentioned songs, "Anemone Heart" is filled with LesYay, including Umi and Kotori calling each other '''"my very first love."''' Keep in mind the fact that in-universe, Umi is the one who writes the lyrics of most of the songs, which might bring up some [[ShipperOnDeck implications about Umi as well,]] since it means she could've wrote the lyrics to the previously mentioned "Garasu no Hanazono" and "Zurui Yo magnetic today" as well.

* In chapter 19 of the School Idol Diary manga Umi and the rest of the μ's girls are taking a break from being Idols for the day and, while at home, she runs across her grandmother. Umi's grandmother complains about Umi not having a partner to kill time with and, when she insists she's fine, tells her to go to Honoka's shop to buy some manju and wait as long as it takes to buy it fresh. While there she comes across Homura eating sweets on the varanda and the two of them get to sitting together and reminiscing about how, when they were children, Umi and Homura would often spent long hours hanging out but despite how late it was Umi's grandmother never minded. Umi ends up realising by the end of the chapter that her grandmother used shopping as an excuse for her to make friends as a child and that [[ShipperOnDeck she did it again today so that she could hang out with Homura]].

* The opening of the first season shows all of the members of μ's lying together on the ground in a semicircle with the primary couples that get ship teased the most, Nico/Maki, Eli/Nozomi and Rin/Hanayo, shown to be practically close (with some added [[ThreesomeSubtext Honoka/Kotori/Umi subtext thrown in as well]]. This scene ends up getting reused as one of the final scenes of the shows last episode.
* The OVA also has a craplot of Yuri subtext during the Music S.T.A.R.T!! video that plays at the end with the various girls shown sprawling around each other. Bonus points for the scene where all of the members of μ's are shown [[SleepCute sleeping in bed together]] where, besides the primary couples being touchy-feely with one another, Umi and Kotori are also seen snuggling up together.

* Similar to Nozomi and Eli's "Garasu no Hanazono" and Nico and Maki's "Zurui Yo magnetic today," Umi and Kotori share a duet song in the form of [[https://youtu.be/0sBBWvTX9Sk "Anemone Heart."]] Similarly to the two previously mentioned songs, "Anemone Heart" is filled with LesYay, including Umi and Kotori calling each other '''"my very first love."'''

* Out of all the pairings, the most notable is Nico and Maki. The 2 characters have a natural chemistry with each other (romantic or otherwise), and its the pairing that gets the most mentions in the series by far. The manga, light novels, PV's audio drama's and even the anime all outright mention or allude to their special relationship. It's so prominent in fact, that some of the members of Muse actually ship them together. Heck, even the voice actress's ship them together!

* There is a considerable amount of LesYay between the 2 in the School Idol Diary novel that focuses on them.

* Hanayo x Rin is the most noteworthy pairing after the previous two. In short, while their friendship is consistent throughout every adaptation, there are a several instances that seem imply that there may be more to their friendship. The two of them share a deep bond with each other and are very loving towards each other. Rin has been shown to be quite clingy to Hanayo, and has gotten quite flustered over mere notion of Hanayo getting a boyfriend, for instance. Hanayo on the other hand, is very affectionate towards Rin. She has outright stated that Rin is cute to the point where she wants to hold her tightly.

* Even just from the promotional material, we've gotten some LesYay from the Aqours group between Hanamaru and Ruby - Hanamaru says she hopes to accumulate good karma so she can be friends with Ruby again in her next life, repeatedly calls her cute, and says that she aspires to be like her because she's 'dazzling', and their 'typical off-day schedule' includes them meeting up and then 'Date at Numazu City♡ (Shopping!)'
** The Aqours Valentines messages has the girls give chocolates to an unseen person (the viewer) and [[ShipTease generally being flustered about it]]. Hanamaru is the sole exception: she's nervous because the only person she's ever traded chocolates with on Valentines is Ruby. Her message basically has her talk about how she and Ruby make chocolates together, and then we get this gem:
---> '''Hanamaru:''' Yeah, I make chocolates with Ruby every year and we give ‘em to each other. Ahaha. I reckon one day we’ll be brides together too!
** The "the Taking It Easy! Deep-Sea Aquarium! audio drama CD" has a some LesYay between Ruby and Hanamaru. Basically, after Hanamaru ends up buying Ruby a stuffed fish doll, Yoshiko DEMANDS to know why she didn't get one too. Hanamaru apologizes, claiming that she didn't think Yoshiko would want one, but Yoshiko insists that she does and ends up fighting with Ruby over the stuffed fish doll. Hanamaru then decides to hold a competition to see which of the 2 girls can best express their love for the stuffed doll. Ruby goes first and Hanamaru ''immediately'' declares Ruby to be the winner. Yoshiko goes afterwards and Hanamaru still declares Ruby to be the winner. Yoshiko is obviously upset, but Hanamaru claims that she's an [[BlatantLies impartial judge]]. She then asks Ruby to "do it again", and this time she's totally enamored by Ruby and her ridiculously cute declaration of love.
** Mari ''loves'' to tease Dia and is fairly affectionate towards her in general. The two of them generally have a excellent (comedic) chemistry with each other.
