* ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'': Subverted in the third case. A murder occurs during a band's performance of a song, and it seems to follow the lyrics of the first few verses. This was actually a coincidence, and the killer set up events re-creating the later verses as a RedHerring once they realized this.

Chiwa encourages the childhood friend to get the hero, while Ai backs up the other girl in the movie. Masuzu hilariously mocks the hero for his indecision, then lets out Eita's name, which he manages to overhear.
* Similarly, the momentary fragments of SuperRobot show ''Garban'' that Yamada watches, which are glimpsed in between the main action in ''LightNovel/SisterPrincess''.
