Nope, just a reference to how hard living ironically creates the best idols. Compare an AEPS Idol to an DGTO Idol. AEPS Idols like Yuuko and Mimori may be more skilled thanks to their wealthy upbringing but they never really know what life was like outside of their cozy homes where they have a great deak of priviledges. A DGTO Idol was used to living in terrible conditions, they had to hide from the corporate cops who will throw them in jail and humiliate them for the rest of the life, occassionally lose parents to the exploitive corporate conditions (Orine's parents died in the mines not just because it was an accident but frankly the DGTO does not care about the lives of their workers. Just meeting the Dualium mining quotas or face demotion, Nagisa's father being more concerned about the DES' brutality than becoming an idol and Kanata's father's death). But yet these girls continue to fight for their dreams. That is why Episode One was called Unerasable Dream, they had the worst of it yet believes in creating a future where entertainment (and Kirara supply cheap clean energy) will be available for all.
