Even though it seems like a far stretch, the HANABIs may be connected musically as well but through contrast. The first HANABI is in the minor key whereas episode II is in major. Throughout episode II are un-exact inversions of motives of pitch in the first one. It can discussed in detail, but generally it feels as if episode II is a consequent or response to the first. I would be very surprised if an episode III is ever produced.

Otherwise, I love how it appears that Ayu really thought of the general cohesiveness to Love songs. It could be one of the good factors to "rushing" as all her ideas for singles and the album would be connected, in comparison to what happened of the singles leading up to NEXT LEVEL.
