{{Gallery}}
* Counting jumps, 321 STARS' Single EXPERT chart has exactly 321 steps in it in DanceDanceRevolution, a reference to its name.
* 321 STARS marks Kiyotaka Sugimoto's first original composition in the beatmania series.
** Unfortunately, due to jumps counting as one step for combo purposes in all future DanceDanceRevolution titles after EXTREME, this little in-joke is lost.
** It also marks his first instrumental song in BEMANI.
* 321 STARS appears on beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD CS, with new 7-key charts, as part of the BEMANI 10th Anniversary Commemoration.
*** 321 STARS, along with [[air]] and [[Mahou no tobira(SPACE MACO no theme)|魔法の扉(スペース🪐マコのテーマ)]] being crossed over also mark his first appearance in the arcade DanceDanceRevolution series.
* 321 STARS received a Double BEGINNER chart in [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX2|DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX2]].
* 321 STARS is a reference to Kiyotaka Sugimoto's birthday, March 21st (3/21).
* Along with the other BEMANI songs crossovered to pop'n music 8, 321 STARS displays ♪♪♪♪♪ as the artist. This has never changed.
* 321 STARS is the only returning original song in [[AC bm Club|beatmania ClubMIX]] which did not receive new charts.
* 321 STARS received an EX chart in [[PnM AC 9|pop'n music 9]]. This chart was carried to [[PnM CS 8|pop'n music 8 CS]].
* 321STARS is the 19th song unlock of Sugoroku de 8 (すごろく de 8) in [[AC pnm 8|pop'n music 8]]. It can be unlocked from July 17th, 2002 through August 28th, 2002 by directly landing on the the city of Tokyo on your third trip around the board, which will take you to Hachiojima, and from there walk across it to unlock it.
** If you don't directly land on Tokyo on your third lap, you'll go to Hachiojima by simply passing it on your fourth trip.
*** KINOKO BOY will also be unlocked as a new character when 321STARS is unlocked.
**** KINOKO BOY does not have a 2P color.
* Along with the other BEMANI songs crossed over to pop'n music 8, 321 STARS displays '''♪♪♪♪♪''' as the artist. This has never changed.
* 321 STARS received a brand-new Double NORMAL chart in [[AC bm THE FINAL|beatmania THE FINAL]], replacing its original chart.
* 321 STARS received a brand-new EX chart in [[AC pnm 9|pop'n music 9]]'s ''Gambler de Z (ギャンブラーZ)'' unlock event. It could be unlocked from February 13th, 2003 through March 12th, 2003 after unlocking [[Tobenai tenshi|翔べない天使]] and clearing 321 STARS' EX chart, or failing it enough times until it's automatically unlocked.
** As of March 12th, 2003, this chart is playable by default.
* Counting jumps, 321 STARS' EXPERT charts have exactly 321 notes in them in DanceDanceRevolution, a reference to its name.
** Unfortunately, due to jumps counting as one note for combo purposes in all future DanceDanceRevolution titles after EXTREME, this little in-joke is lost.
*** A similar joke occurred with 321 STARS in pop'n music with its NORMAL chart; if one achieved a full combo in pop'n music 8, it was 321 (MAX COMBO in earlier pop'n music games was the song's notecount total minus 1). Once the MAX COMBO got updated in later pop'n music games to include all of a song's notes, though, this joke was lost once more.
* In the DanceDanceRevolution series, 321 STARS is titled as '''321STARS'''.
* 321STARS received a Double BEGINNER chart in [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX2|DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX2]].
* 321 STARS is one of the six revived beatmania songs that can be found in beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD CS.
* 321 STARS is unlockable in [[CS pnm Lively|pop'n music Lively]] from January 12th, 2022 as part of the ''pop'n quest'' (ポップンクエスト) unlocking system.

The running gag of this techno pop song, is "1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 222222222, 3, 2, 1, Hiiiii~" with the feel of an adorable, fast-moving hyper amusement facility (?), like a clockwork mini theater.
Underneath the warm melody is some kind of surreal world, where vigorous drums pound out high-octane beats.
