* ValuesDissonance: Jin threatening to reveal [[spoiler:Hiro's DarkAndTroubledPast]] is a big deal in Japan. [[spoiler:In Japan, image and reputation is a big deal, and if the public knew about Hiro being poor, they wouldn't look at him the same way. Also, if word got out that his mom used to be a prostitute, it would ruin his career and any future prospects in the entertainment industry altogether. Not only does IdolSinger culture stick closely to ContractualPurity, but any hint of Hiro having anything other than a "perfectly normal" life would cause fans to be distressed and ultimately go against what idols are supposed to personify. This is why Hiro decides he has no choice but to retire after he exposes his personal background to his fans, and it's seen as a HeroicSacrifice for Happy [=RAIN=], Bell Rose, and their friends.]] In Western culture, people don't hold celebrities up to that standard and it's common for some of them to come from rough backgrounds.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Hiro is extremely popular in Japan due to his FanService Prism Jumps (see Starlight Kiss), his CharacterDevelopment, his LargeHam reactions, and his arrogant PrinceCharming persona. However, in Western fanbases, he's quite more contentious due to his {{Jerkass}} behavior up until the last 10 episodes of the series, with people vastly preferring the kinder Koji and Kazuki over him.

Since ''Anime/KingOfPrism'' is aimed at an older demographic, all implications were dropped when it was explicitly stated that she had been one.]]

* CoveredUp: TRF's "EZ DO DANCE" was used as the second opening theme of ''Rainbow Live'', but many of its audience members hardly remember it for the original. Even more so that it gets covered again with the boys in ''Anime/{{King of Prism}}'' twice, with an accompanying and memorable performance solidifying its status as a ''KOP'' song.

* FridgeBrilliance: After listening to the full version of ''Pride'' a few times, some lines strangely used [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns boku]], when Hiro uses ore. It turns out that Kouji wrote ''Pride'' with the mindset that they would perform as a duo, before their falling out. The lines that use boku were most likely Kouji's lines, and Hiro just glazed over them while practicing.
