Wonderlands x Showtime is a musical group that was formed from part-time workers who were all affiliated with the Phoenix Wonderland Stage. They came together with a view to help the location re-gain popularity after it became deserted and mundane.
The SEKAI for this group is the Wonderland SEKAI, a fantasy land much resembling that of a dream, with fun carnival themes and assorted stuffed animals that can talk. It is implied that this SEKAI’s main purpose is to help Rui and Tsukasa get along again and make the band stronger, so that they can touch the hearts of others with their jolly tunes.

Nightcord at 25:00 is a musical group that only works at 1:00am. The group was first made solely online over a chat site called Nightcord. Their main goal is to produce music that helps get people through dark times, in an attempt to save them from the darkness.
Their SEKAI is called the Empty SEKAI. As the title suggests, it’s the most barren Sekai, with a dilapidated stage. It represents the despairing emotions of Mafuyu, and has cold and sad prisms sticking out of the bare ground. The SEKAI may also represent the downcast emotions of the suicidal people that the group wishes to save.

- They wish to save lives
- They have a cute but dark aesthetic
- The songs they sing are often filled with emotion, often sadness
- They have virtual aliases along with their actual names

Their SEKAI is the Stage SEKAI, which closely resembles the stages one would see at an idol concert. There are masses of glowsticks showing support to them in the crowd. This stage is said to represent the zeal the girls have or had whilst being an idol, which is meant to help awaken a newfound passion for making music and bringing smiles to others.

They all wish to make their concerts more popular than the iconic RAD WEEKEND event, so they, too, can become legends.
Their SEKAI is the Street SEKAI. It consists of artistically painted streets with a cafe run by the Vocaloid MEIKO. The SEKAI is a place for the band to gather and practise their music, whilst also honing in on their emotions and gathering hope to one day become known by the masses.

Their SEKAI is the School SEKAI. There are many themes seen in this SEKAI that are common among anime and manga set in schools, such as an accessible rooftop, a starry night sky and golden sun rays, which change depending on the band’s emotions.
