This is a friendly reminder that this might not exactly how the game interprets this, and this is just a personal analysis I had thought up during my own time! If I'm missing something, please let me know. :D

I always wondered why and how the Wonderland Sekai and the Empty Sekai were the only ones created due to Tsukasa and Mafuyu's feelings. I believe it was said "that their feelings were so strong, they were able to create them."

That didn't really? Exactly make sense to me in a way? Cause all of the other Wanshow members love performing, and all the Niigo characters all have their own issues involving mental health. How can their feelings be considered "not as strong as the other original owner"? Especially compared to the other groups. It sounded like their feelings and experiences were being compared in a way because, yes, Mafuyu is depressed but Kanade also lost her mother while her father doesn't even remember her.

I thought about it for a while and thought that it's not really about having stronger feelings, it's more of "3 of these members are suppressing their own feelings while there's 1 who isn't."

For Wanshow, Emu was hiding the fact that she wanted to save Phoenix Wonderland, Nene was afraid of singing in front of others, while Rui wanted to show off his inventions and ideas. Ever since he was a child, Tsukasa always aimed to become a star and was always acting. His feelings never died and that's how he was able to create the Wonderland Sekai. It's interesting cause despite it originating from Tsukasa's feelings, it's usually referred to as "everyone's Sekai', which means that being able to express their feelings as well, it became a Sekai not only to Tsukasa but to everyone in Wanshow as well.

Now, the Empty Sekai is still referred to as Mafuyu's, and that makes sense. While Mafuyu hides her depression from everyone who isn't Niigo, she still carries it and doesn't suppress her feelings. Kanade focuses on saving Mafuyu and didn't really have anyone helping her with her family: Ena, at the time, felt inadequate about her own talent, while Mizuki hides their own feelings. Unlike Mafuyu, however, who hides her depression from her expressions, the other three shove their feelings away and pretend they don't exist. That's why Mafuyu calls the rest out like that in the Main Story. But the Empty Sekai starts changing, little by little, because all the members added small things in, then the Vocaloids/Virtual Singers started appearing, first with Rin, then ending with Kaito.

I think someone could argue that MMJ is similar, but to me, it's not. Excluding Minori, the other three members thought they had lost that feeling of being an idol, but they never actually did, and when meeting Minori, they realized that passion was still there. It that makes sense at all and has any differences to what I was talking about above.

The Sekais in the game are so interesting to think about, and I hope we get to explore them more!
