D4DJ (full title: Dig Delight Direct Drive DJ) is a media mix project created by Bushiroad. Following in the steps of projects like Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight and BanG Dream!, D4DJ is a multimedia franchise that is ostensibly centered around young women forming DJ units, although for all intents and purposes it's a Love Live!-esque Idol Genre series with a DJ aesthetic.The main thrust of the franchise is a mobile game, D4DJ Groovy Mix, and several anime series which chronicle events leading up to and around the D4Fes depicted in the game. Additionally, there are manga adaptations and original songs, which come with their own live shows and music videos.The various anime series include:

Hotter and Sexier: Compared to past Bushiroad idol franchises, there are many more moments where the characters are wearing revealing outfits (like bikinis) or having gratuitous bath scenes. The unit Merm4id in particular is fanservice incarnate, with its members' stage outfits all showing off a lot of skin and strong "party girl" vibes in their songs and mannerisms.

comment
Aborted Arc: At the end of the first episode of First Mix, Maho is astonished to discover Rinku is some kind of DJ wunderkind, able to subconsciously mix tracks like a pro. Since Rinku immediately shifts to lead vocalist/dancer and leaves all the actual DJing to Maho, this has no bearing whatsoever on the rest of the series. Rinku originally had a Stage Name as "Link"note "Rinku" written in katakana, リンク during her duo stint with Maho. From the third episode, however, Rinku drops this and uses her actual namenote written in hiragana, ã‚Šã‚“ã�� for the group with no apparent reason. In episode 6 of All Mix Maho experiences a series of weird events following falling down the stairs, such as only being able to speak and write in English. Aside from that, she keeps getting stuck in small time loops at the start of the episode, crossing the road and walking up the stairs at school twice. However this stops happening without explanation after a few minutes, and the rest of the episode mainly focuses on Maho only being able to communicate in English.

Limited Wardrobe: The characters only have a handful of outfits, because it's a 3D anime and there's only so much time they can spend modeling outfits. Whenever the characters are portrayed as children or are required to briefly wear a unique outfit — like the flashback to Photon Maiden's recruitment in "Brand New World" — they will opt to make the girls traditional 2D animation rather than go to the trouble of creating new clothes that will never be seen again.

Bland-Name Product: The café Happy Around! patronize has a few thinly-veiled western rock album covers lying around: A copy of The Velvet Underground & Nico, except with an eggplant instead of a banana. A riff on The Dark Side of the Moon with the prism swapped for a orb. The Beatles's 1, except with a giant 2 instead. Dance For Dangerous Jack, a hardcore military/horror shooter that Muni and Shinobu play, seems to be a riff on First Encounter Assault Recon.

Tomboy and Girly Girl: Maho is significantly more tomboyish than the other members of Happy Around!: she has Boyish Short Hair (though after the game’s first anniversary it’s grown slightly longer), wears shorts instead of a frilly dress onstage, and has an interest in sports and is depicted playing basketball in one of her cards. Meanwhile, Rinku is a sweet, bubbly Genki Girl, Muni is a Kawaiiko with a Sweet Tooth and a penchant for wearing pink frilly dresses, and Rei is a polite, graceful Elegant Classical Musician.

Magical Security Cam: In episode 9 of First Mix, after attending Photon Maiden's concert, Happy Around! watch a video of the performance back. It's identical to the actual concert, with snap zooms, whip pans, and soaring crane shots right over the crowd's heads. While that sort of stuff is feasible at an outdoor concert with drone cameras and dedicated camera crews, this takes place in a cramped high school practice room.

2D Visuals, 3D Effects: First Mix uses CG models for any character that needs to dance or wears the same school uniform as the main cast, while the unique but non-dancing characters—such as the café owner, Maho's siblings, and Happy Around! as kids—are traditional 2D animation. The environments also swap between dimensions, depending on whether there's going to be dancing in it.

No Hugging, No Kissing: Initially, this was in-effect since Creator/Bushiroad typically relies on subtext and teases rather than explicit romance, as is the case with Muni's crush on Rinku. However, it was averted when the 2nd Anniversary Update for Groovy Mix introduces an official lesbian couple to the franchise.

If not for him, the side:origin units and UniChØrd would not exist in the first place.

Japanese Ranguage: Rinku's name comes from "to link", since she's the one who brings Happy Around! together. In episode 12 of First Mix, Rei says that rapping is all about "rhymes", to which Rinku responds with "Like the fruit?" Since "lime" and "rhyme" are only homophones in Japanese, that pun doesn't make sense in English.

The Ending Changes Everything: Every episode of All Mix revolves around the Rotating Protagonist coming up with a song that fits what the month represents. In "Daydream", Maho is tasked with musically representing June, but she flounders for ideas, while the plot becomes more unhinged and bizarre around her, culminating in Happy Around becoming actual zombies during their live performance. Then, Saki reveals to the audience the theme of the month was "midsummer's dream", and questions if everything we saw was just a dream.

Maho suspects they're going to nab Rinku for Peaky P-Key and walks off in a huff. Then they reveal Yuka is trying to choose which handsome prince to use in a gacha game. Later, she walks in on Rinku and Kyoko discussing something in the cafeteria, and again she turns around before they reveal what they're actually discussing: seashell accessories, given as a gift for Rinku performing on stage with Peaky P-Key.

Of the main charcters, only her Merm4id unit-mates are aware of how messy her room is, so Marika hesitates on an answer while Saori reacts with second-hand embarrassment, noting that the lack of any malice from Towa and Haruna just makes the whole conversation worse for Marika.

The Law of Conservation of Detail: This franchise takes place in a setting where DJ units are quite trendy, but DJ units that are not part of the featured nine don't get character portraits nor are their songs heard by the viewer/player.

comment
Production Throwback: Noriyasu Agematsu is the in-house composer for Peaky P-Key, and his frequent collaborator Nana Mizuki voices Airi Amano. Quite a few songs they've worked on together have been repurposed as cover songs for the various units, such as "Backlit Wings", "Synchogazer", and "DISCOTHEQUE". And, of course, the game reuses a lot of songs from sister franchise BanG Dream!, for which Agematsu and his label Elements Garden serve as the composers.

What follows is seventeen seconds of Stunned Silence and Squeaky Eyes as Maho waits for clarification from Muni, who's said all she needs to say.

As Maho relaxes in the hot tub, she thinks to herself, "Why did we come here again?" It's followed by a static shot of Maho smiling pleasantly at the ceiling for sixteen whole seconds, before the shoe finally drops.

High-Pressure Emotion: When embarrassed, characters will glow bright red from the neck up accompanied by a shrill steam whistle: Kyouko in "Spring Storm", when she inadvertently does something kawaii and gets called on it by Airi and RONDO. Shinobu in "Because it's Cold", after she bundles up in a winter coat and earmuffs and Rinku spots her, and again when the others tease her for snuggling up to Kyoko in the middle of the night.

Hypocritical Humor: A staple of Maho and Muni's conversations. In episode 4 of First Mix, when the soon-to-be Happy Around! are waiting for the results of the contest, Muni chides the others for being too nervous while her hand is shaking so bad she spills her tea cup everywhere. When Maho calls her out, Muni yells it's just tendonitis, because "art gods get tendonitis!" From the final episode of First Mix: From "On the Holy Night":

Anime Accent Absence

comment
Anime Accent Absence: All four members of the American unit Abyssmare speak in fluent Japanese without any American accents whatsoever. While this could be chalked up to Translation Convention during scenes where they are talking amongst themselves, they don't seem to have any issues communicating with Japanese folks despite having recently flown in from the U.S. as of their introduction arc in Groovy Mix, and their songs have primarily Japanese lyrics with Gratuitous English at best. Even more strangely, Photon Maiden has songs with more frequent and more fluently-written and -sung English lines, and all four of its members are Japanese (like with all of the other units).

Rotating Protagonist: All Mix has to juggle six units and twenty-four characters putting on a year-long series of concerts. Two early episodes, "Camera, Live, Action!" and "Freedom Freedom?" were little more than Vignette Episodes, with each unit having a small chunk of time in rotation. Later, it shifted to the units having collabs with each other, giving them a chance to pair off with each other.

Cast Herd: Since the franchise follows multiple idol (or "DJ") units, naturally they tend to stick together in distinct herds. Since All Mix has to contend with a staggering twenty-four characters, some episodes such as "Camera, Live, Action!" and "Freedom Freedom?" are little more than Vignette Episodes where each unit gets a three-minute chunk of time.

comment
Plot Tailored to the Party: All the DJ units have VJs, but since "video jockey" isn't particularly relevant to what is an Idol Genre show/mobile game in all but name, they mostly turn into "another singer". However, All Mix episode 2 gives them a chance to shine when the DJ units decide they need a commercial to advertise their upcoming show. Muni stands up and rallies the other VJs by calling on them to use their video skills and whip some buzz up. This elicits hearty cheers from Hiiro, Kurumi, Yuka, Saori, and ... Towa, who isn't actually the VJ for Photon Maiden.

Finally, Saki appears and tells the audience that it may or may not have been a dream.
