[edit] Concepts

Princess School

In the later episodes, there is a "princess school" where the main characters have classes, and Dejiko's mother is the principal. There is also a cheerleader club led by Usada.

Cellphones

Dejiko and Puchiko have cellphones which they can use once they transform (by saying their "transformation phase")and can communicate with. In Piyoko's debut episode, she wants one and finally gets it in the christmas episode as a gift from Dejiko.
