{{creatortropes}}
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Implied in the lyrics to "Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou".
* [[Anti-Love Song]]: "Romance, Irane", though it's rather perky!
* [[Artificial Human]]: Eguchi Aimi. The fans found out she was created off the other members' [https://web.archive.org/web/20140113131855/http://cdn.thegloss.com/files/2011/06/eguchi-aimi.-r66-490x291.jpg looks.]
* [[Beach Episode]]: The PVs for "BINGO!", "Ponytail to Shushu" and "Everyday, Katyusha" all take place at the beach.
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: The group's drama, ''Majisuka Gakuen''. For a drama based on an idol group, one would think that it'll be something light and happy, right? Definitely wrong.
Line 20 ⟶ 29:
** The PV for "Beginner" was apparently supposed to be ''much more'' violent than the standard idol fare PVs but was not used in the end, though the dance shots were kept and the shots of the members getting violently killed off in a technological atmosphere complete with blood and shots of them being crushed under various devices were fortunately cut out. But for you [[Nightmare Fetishist|nightmare fetishists]] here's a CM of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KWEbMNpk_w the original!]
** Some of their older songs are darker and edgier as well, such as [[Driven to Suicide|Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]] and [[Compensated Dating|Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]]. Definitely not your usual idol group.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Hrm, let's see [[Idol Singer|a group of idols under management of one guy complete with subgroups and soloists]]? You must mean [[Hello!
* [[Fan Service]]: Heavy Rotation's PV is ''packed'' with it [[Les Yay|from girls in lingerie to girls dressed as cats to girls kissing each other]]... you get the point.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: The basis of SDN48.
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: The kind of ''punishment'' the girls had to go through when they failed to complete the moe contest...
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Naturally, with sister groups across Japan.
* [[Lying Creator]]: The case of [[w:Aimi Eguchi|Eguchi Aimi]]. Akimoto Yasushi, AKB48 producer, announced that he had found the ultimate AKB48 girl at NMB48's second generation audition, instantly adding her to AKB48 as 12.5th generation. Turn out, she was unreal - her bio "photos" were CG composites made up of elements of six actual members' features.
* [[Music for Courage]]
** The inspirational lyrics to "River".
{{quote|
''A river is flowing
''Broadly, such a great river
''Darkly, deeply, even so
''The current is fast, even so
''Do not be scared, OK?
''Do not wander off
''That’s right, the opposite side is there
''So more, believe in yourself.'' }}
** Also, the lyrics for "Beginner".
{{quote|
''I can't do it well
''And so?
''We're still young
''I can't do anything
''I can't do it right away
''That's why we have possibilities'' }}
* [[Panty Shot]]: The PV for "Skirt, Hirari". It's evident even in the title!
* [[Paying Their Dues]]: Although the group had been around for a few years, success didn't really come until they released River making a slew of number one hits follow.
