Yes, we know it’s a cliché that money doesn’t always buy happiness and through Tuesday’s story, you learn that’s very true. She grew up around wealth, was clothed and fed, but she’s hardly ever acknowledged by her mother, and her father split a long time ago. Tuesday understands that her mother is busy and does her best to respect her mother’s work. There comes a point that a person has to find their own self-worth and through her struggles with Carole, Gus, and Roddy, in the cut-throat show business world, she discovers what she was missing in her life.

As many probably know, a good portion of us tend to inherit our parents’ political views due our upbringings. When it comes to Tuesday and her mother’s anti-refugee rhetoric, she openly disagrees with her. It’s interesting that refugees are used as a topic in this series considering that this has been an issue that has been controversial in the US, especially since the election of Donald Trump, who hasn’t been afraid to speak his thoughts on the manner on his pundit stations, or his almighty Twitter account (though Instagram exists in the Carole & Tuesday universe, we have yet to see Valerie excessively use social media like The Donald).

Remembering that Carole, her best friend, is a refugee, Tuesday can’t bring herself to support her mother’s message. While it’s (probably) obviously a jab at Trump, it could also be a means to address that Japan hasn’t done any better in contributing to solving the issue (lets just say they only process less than 100 refugees a year).

In case some of you were wondering, you can actually purchase Tuesday’s guitar for real! If you want to know the model she uses, it’s a Gibson Hummingbird. The company has been in business for over 100 years and if Carole & Tuesday is correct, by the time we get to Mars, hopefully the company will still be around to still producing guitars, especially that Hummingbird! The Hummingbird debuted in the 1960s and they can be pretty expensive. For all we know, considering Tuesday’s background, it could be a vintage model. In its 50 years of production, it has been used by Keith Richards, Sheryl Crow, and Brian May. While it doesn’t have to be the Hummingbird, Gibson is naturally the number one brand name in guitars.

In pop culture, it tends to portray rich kids as socially awkward and can’t function when they’re forced into adversity. When it comes to Tuesday, she actually made a choice to face adversity. She simply couldn’t stand living in isolation anymore and just wanted to face the world in an open and honest manner. Tuesday immediately faced the difficulties people have to go through such as finding a job and paying bills, and like her friend Carole, not once does she complain. Though she does question things in an honest and innocent sense, but she’s still someone who makes a decision and goes through with it. Tuesday understands that not everything may go her way and if she and Carole have to take a detour, they’re willing to take what they can get.

One of the unique features of Carole & Tuesday in its Japanese track is how the character’s speak in Japanese, but sing in English. Try to think of it along the lines of how The Hunt For Red October or how The Warrior addresses the use of language and you can get pass this. Granted this feature has been met with controversy, especially the difference in Pyotr’s and Skip’s voices, but the natural voices of Kana Ichinose and Celeina Ann, they strike a balance to capture her soft speaking nature and her emotions. However, we understand that just because a person can speak in a certain matter doesn’t mean they can sing in a different way. Just look at Freddy Mercury when you compare how he speaks naturally and when he sings, so you have to be a little more open-minded with this feature.
