• Bitter Choco Decoration, covered by N25 and Miku, not only sounds great even with the whisper at the bridge of the song censored but also has the lyrics matching the singers so well you'd think that it's a commissioned song for N25.

• "Night Sky Patrol of Tomorrow" by Orangestar received two soulful covers by Leo/need's Ichika and Vivid BAD SQUAD (An and Kohane, in the form of Vivid BAD SQUAD Archives), respectively.

In the Vivid BAD SQUAD Archives cover, the feeling of unity between An and Kohane resonates in the form of a beautiful blend of harmonies.
• "Usseewa" by Ado, covered by Mafuyu and Mizuki. The lyrics fit Mafuyu very well with her emotional delivery getting more aggressive further into the song, to the point where Mafuyu's voice actor herself admitted that she really tried to convey her feelings within the song even without growling, considering that the lyrics highlight the stress and pressure from expectations coupled with perfectionism, resonating with the fact that Mafuyu is so talented that she became caught within the expectations placed upon her while being seen as the Broken Ace student, something that Usseewa pictures within the lyrics, adding up to Mizuki's growl complementing Mafuyu's softer vocals.

It even received a finishing touch in the form of a full 2D music video made by the producer himself.
• "Lost One's Weeping" by Neru covered by Leo/need and Kagamine Rin, especially the chorus. The singers' voices complement each other well, and the lyrics fit their story.
