ngl my #1 illness from this event and what I find the most interesting abt it is probably the set involving such heavy wonderland sekai + wms references, and the fact it's not only in wxs miku's card like you'd expect bc other VS also have em funnily enough🤭🤭

miku's card is prob intentionally meant to parallel kingkasa and what would confirm it is the fact wxs VS decided to perform the night show wxs did in wms to save phoeniland + her card literally being named "The Sparkling Magic of Smiles" which is a direct reference to "magic doesn't bring smiles, it's smiles that bring magical powers" from wms.. other than that both miku and kasa are some kind of leaders in their cards (conductor/king), are wearing outfits w/red as the main color, are standing in front of a castle, have confetti falling around them, and obviously both cards have central composition too.... I am so sick abt it fr

what would also confirm the strong connection to wonderland sekai/wms is also the event logo having that clef orb straight from wonderland sekai + other VS also getting piano motifs and clef accessories in their outifts and not just miku💗 (ngl I find it kinda crazy how mmj luka got pretty much the exact same golden diamond on her bow as the one tsukasa had in his wms king fit.... the vision is visioning fr....)

hell I'd argue the event story itself is somewhat wms flavored as well and meant to be a direct parallel to it, bc it all revolves around the VS from different sekais wanting to support their respective units through their performances, and isn't that pretty similar to what wms was all about ? tsukasa inspired the members of phoeniland's other troupes to work towards saving the park, and then they all worked tgt for the sake of everyone's smiles no matter how hard it was — similarly to VS in this event wanting to support their respective unit's members in their growth as they're all taking a big and hard step forward after all the arc enders we had recently, and being inspired to keep up their support by the original VS they met in the fragment sekai we saw in the story.. poetic cinema😔

overall loving the vision they had with this event, although I gotta say the fact they keep using musical symbols w/relation to wxs (ESPECIALLY PIANO) without giving us any real and solid wxs+music content in the story itself is rly frustrating..🙄 come on what's the point of doing all of that + the crazy ass 88 symbolism if wxs is gonna stay as the only unit without any "solid" connection to music in this damn game.... now that they went freelance I am fr hoping that they will give some meaning to what kasa said in ny3 event about "wanting to focus more on music that benefits the scene" in future shows they do..... I'm begging just give us more kasa+music content or else I'll go crazy (cause I'm assuming that they are not keeping up all those piano themes for no reason🤭🤭 we will see how that goes !)
