Callbacks to previous Love Live! Series

 * Sumire and Keke shared the "Boke and Tsukkomi Routine" gag from Hanamaru Kunikida and Yoshiko Tsushima as well as from Kasumi Nakasu and Shizuku Osaka.
 * The Rainbow Bridge was seen during the ferry scene. It is a prominent landmark in Tokyo and is often shown in Nijigasaki-related media. It can also be seen in the PV of μ's 3rd single Natsuiro Egao de 1,2,Jump!.
 * The perspective shot of Sumire blowing Keke's cheek to win the thumb wrestling is similar to Umi Sonoda kissing Honoka Kosaka on the cheek in the 13th chapter of the School Idol Project manga.
 * Ren Hazuki was not seen for the entire episode (saved for NHK-exclusive insert song) akin to Kanan Matsuura missing in earlier episodes of Love Live! Sunshine!!.
