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

 * In the TV version, despite the "LIVE" indicator in their broadcast, the livestream was presumably pre-recorded as hinted from the beginning where Kanata was immediately moved into the crowds shortly after she delivered her message.

Changes in the BD/DVD release

 * The introduction of Nijigasaki's livestream was changed into different crowds so that Kanata will not immediately move into the crowds during the scene transition.
