Callbacks to previous Love Live! Series

 * In the previous episode, it was revealed that Nijigasaki was going to hold a concert instead of entering Love Live!, and the title of that concert holds the same title of Nijigasaki's first live.
 * Ayumu reading an email from her fan to come in her place, similar to Kotori reading her mail to study abroad in Friends.
 * Kanata making a huge banner to cheer for her little sister is similar to Umi creating a giant caligraphy in Love Live! The School Idol Movie.

Differences from the ALL STARS game

 * In the game, Yu decide to study abroad in an unnamed country, but in this episode, Ayumu wants to go abroad in London for a short-term exchange student to help a fellow school idol.

Continuity Notes

 * Ayumu's character development has dramatically improved.

Errors & Goofs

 * Although the livestream was broadcasting with the "LIVE" indicator, said stream is presumably pre-recorded as hinted in some parts of the video where Kanata and the other members were immediately moved into the crowds shortly after delivering their messages, and the recording takes place in the afternoon before the live concert started in the evening.
