- "Little Cry of The Abyss" is based on The Little Mermaid. The music video even features the Danish text of the book.
- Soulful Plant Story: "*Hello, Planet." follows Miku's journey through a post-apocalyptic world as she keeps a flower pot, the only keepsake she has of a lost companion, safe. The music video ends with Miku dying after her arduous journey, but the plant successfully sprouts.
- Stepford Smiler: "Little Cry of The Abyss" is based on The Little Mermaid, a Fairy Tale about a mermaid in love with a human prince even though it's doomed. The second chorus has the line "Even though I knew it's all in vain / I forced myself to smile / Even though I'm already hurt / Within the transmitted reality / contains happiness but also strength".
- Yōkai: Makamaka Monomonosy and Fukashigi Monoyukasy feature different kinds of yokai, known here as "ayakashi". The narrator of "A(ma)YAKASHI Diary" has been writing a diary where he blames imaginary ayakashis for everything bad that happens to him.
