Trivia

• In the video and song production information for Happy Wedding, both dj TAKA and GOLI note that one of the beatmania IIDX male VJs got married at the time, but they don't mention whom. Given that shiro stopped contributing to BEMANI very shortly after the completion of 7th style (which shiro worked on as a movie designer) and pop'n music 8 (his last known game in the series he worked on), it was either him or VJ YUZ (who didn't appear in 7th style at all, and only made a video for one song the following game, which might explain his absence).
• Several of Yoshihiko's beatmania IIDX videos feature a white bird named shiroro, named after his shiro alias. Its most notable appearances include SWEET LAB, Linus, and Cheer Train.
  • shiroro also appears as the character for Linus in pop'n music.
