Trivia

 * This project is the 4th installment in the franchise. It is also the first to focus on five members initially instead of nine. It is the third project in terms of main characters performing primarily as a group.
 * The anime is the first in the franchise to premiere on NHK Educational TV (NHK E) as opposed to being a rebroadcast. Whereas previous installments of Love Live! began airing mainly in late-night slots and on local independent stations (Tokyo MX, KBS, etc.), NHK E is a national terrestrial network viewed by a wider mainstream and family-friendly audience. Also notable is that no commercials or sponsors are given airtime on NHK stations.
 * NHK is also headquartered in Shibuya. It is located next to Yoyogi Park, one of the landmarks mentioned in the Superstar series.
 * Prominent illustrators for the various promotional art in Love Live! Superstar!! include Atsushi Saito (character designer), Mariko Itou (animator), Keiichi Sano (animator), 2C=Galore, and Kiyose Akame.
 * Superstar!! is the first anime series in the Love Live! franchise to have 12 episodes instead of 13 episodes.
