## Etymology

**Amanogawa** (天ノ川): **Ama** (天) means 'sky', which is probably a reference to how stars are in the sky. **No** (ノ) means 'in' while **Gawa** (川 *kawa*) means 'river'. So, the full meaning of "Amanogawa" is 'River in the sky' or 'Milky Way', which is a more suitable meaning because of how Chinatsu's milky way motifs.

**Chiyo** (千代) means "hundred times", roughly referred to her fond of joking.

## Relationships

Karin Shiraishi: Chiyo and Karin have been close friends since childhood, and thus care about each other more than the other girls. Though Karin refuses to be a part of it in the beginning, she eventually receives the Angel of Milky Way's power when admitting that the thing she is most afraid of is losing Chiyo.

Hiroko Miyamoto: Chiyo is the one who convinced Hiroko to become an idol. Chiyo is most likely Hiroko's best friend in Universe☆Stars. Hiroko admires Chiyo when becoming the new member of Soft☆Germanic in Episode 175.

Natsuki Aizawa: Fellow member in Soft☆Germanic.

Kaname Uzuki: They get along well, but Kaname thinks she shouldn't boast too much. Chiyo, on the other hand, together with Kaname become the new member of Soft☆Germanic.

## Trivia

* Referred as "Chiyo-chan" (ちよちゃん *Chiyo-chan*) by Karin, Hiroko, and Natsuki.
* According to her laughing joke, Chiyo is allergic to butterflies.
* According to manga profile, Chiyo was **actually** born in Zürich, Switzerland but raised in Liechtenstein. Other idols from Liechtenstein in PC universe happen to have the same fact too.
* If you ignore the syllable "no" (ノ) in her surname, it will be sounded like "Amakawa", the surname of Momose Amakawa from Fashion Entertainment: Princess Gal☆Ichigo which makes them the unrelated Pretty Country universe to have surname with same kanji.
	+ Also if you ignore the romaji 'kawa' in her surname, it can be sounded like 'Amano', the surname of Rin Amano from Fashion Entertainment: Kitchen♥︎Jester, another Germanic character. They are unrelated too.
* In fan culture, Chiyo is in a sub-unit with Karin known as **Alps Duo**, though it is not known if this applies in the Manga/Anime universe.
* Her hairstyle resembles Kasane Teto from Utauloid.
* In Episode 178, Chiyo says "We're gonna move out to Teen Style", a possible reference to the sequel.
* It is implied that some of Chiyo's jokes come from her unseen, unnamed twin sister. In *Pretty Country: Magical Life of Three Towns* manga adaption, she retells a joke originally told by her twin sister; however, it doesn't make sense in context, as Chiyo is slightly younger than her twin sister.
* In Angel Simulator English version, when talking to a protagonist, she will change her rhymes and phrases depending on the gender (for example: to a boy, "My milkshake is cold to drink, so take a seat, Ludwig." To a girl, " My milkshake is cold to drink, so take a seat, Monika."). Ludwig and Monika are the possibly human names of male and female versions for Germany from *Hetalia*, an anime series about characters from various countries that sometimes compared to *Pretty Country*.
