- According to the SECRET section of the beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD CS website, CALDERA and DRUNK MONKY were added to DistorteD CS for difficulty balance reasons (as the staff was concerned that the other beatmania crossovers would be too easy for beatmania IIDX players), and that both songs "suited DistorteD" [1].
- CALDERA is available in beatmania IIDX INFINITAS (2020) by purchasing its beatmania IIDX INFINITAS Music Pack vol.27 (beatmania IIDX INFINITAS 楽曲パック vol.27).
