* BeachBury: The other characters do this to Teika in Episode 10 while he is basking in the sun.



* EmbarrassingNickname: Because it phonetically sounds similar to his name, Cheiri is often referred to as "Cherry" by students. Unsurprisingly, he's less than pleased about this.



* SupremeChef: Apart from his specialty as a sculptor, Rintarou is this, having perfected his confectionery skills in a bid to invoke ThroughHisStomach from Monet.

* MadnessMantra: After all the guys, except Teika, compete with each other to see who will get the last dance with Kohana during the festival, she starts to have a mental breakdown, repeating the word "Why?" over and over again. The guys all agree to a temporary truce out of concern that her word repetition will turn into this.

* EarlyBirdCameo: In Episode 1, before she formally meets Teika, Kohana catches brief glimpses of the other guys practicing their magical arts and comments on the resulting sparkles they produce.

Added DiffLines:

* SourOutsideSadInside: Teika is this because of the pressure his older brothers are putting on him to become Artista Prince. As a result, he bottles up his feelings and puts on a stern and cold demeanor towards others. Despite his denials, Aoi and Kohana both note that he is sad on the inside, the former through observation by virtue of being ChildhoodFriends with Teika, and the latter because she detected a sad feeling in his sparkles when he sings.


Added DiffLines:

* WellDoneSonGuy: Teika is this towards his two older brothers, who are pushing him to become Artista Prince and outshine Kohana, along with bringing the family name to global heights. To that end, he trains himself relentlessly and shuts Aoi out of his life and affairs, the latter noting that as a child, Teika's singing was considerably warmer and more genuine.

Added DiffLines:

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Teika's {{Leitmotif}} is the last one to be featured in the series, and features several distinct differences from the others. For starters, it is the only one to have a Japanese name, rather that one in a Germanic language. It is also the only one that is not a ThisIsYourSong directed at Kohana, and does not feature a GoodTimesMontage with the singer and Kohana. Additionally, it is the only one to be sung by its singer in-person as part of the plot, and thus an integral part of the episode in which it appears, rather than acting as background music. Finally, it is the only one to end because it was [[MusicalisInterruptus interrupted by someone else]], namely Kohana.


Added DiffLines:

* MusicalisInterruptus: A decidedly more serious iteration of this trope than most examples, Teika stop singing his {{Leitmotif}} because Kohana calls out to him.

** Aoi: "My world, Your world"
** Louis: "Step of Happiness!"
** Kanato: "Rainbow Star"
** Monet: "Shiny color"
** Rintarou: "Sweets à la mode"

* HeWillNotCrySoICryForHim: At the end of Episode 8, while overhearing Teika sing, Kohana notes that his sparkles underlie a hidden sadness in his singing that he refuses to outwardly express. By the end of Teika's song, Kohana is in tears.

* ReclusiveArtist: Aoi, whose obsession with calligraphy leads him to shut himself in his own room to work and study, skipping out on classes and only coming out on very rare occasions. It's gotten to the point that some students, like Monet, are ''unaware that he even exists''. Kohana helping him overcome his lack of inspiration has led him to come out of his room slightly more often.

** In Episode 7, Rintarou's focus on passing the Artista Selection Exam leads to a ''failure'' to express this trope, as the principal dismisses his sculpture's workmanship as being stiff, noting that he did not express himself in the work. He fails his first two attempts because of this.

He [[ThirdTimesTheCharm finally passes]] as a result.

** Rintarou attempts this as well, as his grandfather was a highly accomplished sculptor. However, after failing his Artista Selection Exam twice, he switches to confectionery making as his preferred discipline.

He passes his [[ThirdTimesTheCharm third attempt]] by presenting the principal with a plate of macaroons, rather than a sculpture, utilizing a skill he had all along, but never bothered to capitalize on until that point.

* {{Foil}}: Episode 4 frames Kohana and Louis' relationships with their respective mothers in this way. While Kohana had a kind and caring mother and picked up ikebana out of admiration for her, Louis' mother was a StageMom who forced him into dancing and treated him like a slave. While Kohana tries to invoke GeenrationXerox as much as possible to keep her mother's memory alive, Louis buries his memories of his mother by assuming the persona of a StepfordSmiler. Both of their mothers are also out of the picture in the present day, Kohana's mother died in an accident, while Louis' mother abandoned him shortly before his enrollment in Hoshinomori.
