* The Naoki "character" in SEGA's CHUNITHM comes with multiple forms and skills that all reference BEMANI in one way or another ([https://chunithm.gamerch.com/NAOKI Source]).
** The evolved forms, aside the first one (Normal), are named, in order of level: Be For You (referencing [[BeForU]]), SEQUENCE UNLIMITED, MAXX and NMR.
** Naoki's forms, in order of level, reference the following BEMANI songs' jackets: [[Ignition Break|Ignition∞Break]], [[Flash Back 90's]], [[UNLIMITED FIRE]], [[THE FALLEN]] and [[VALLIS-NERIA]].
** The Be For You skill COME ON '98!! references DanceDanceRevolution's debut year (1998) and its effect references the number 180, which is [[PARANOiA]]'s BPM and artist name (which has also debuted in the first DanceDanceRevolution game).
** The SEQUENCE UNLIMITED skill DIRTY FIRE's effect references the number 190, which is [[PARANOiA MAX ~DIRTY MIX~|PARANOiA MAX~DIRTY MIX~]]'s BPM and artist name.
** The MAXX skill Ω references Naoki's Ω alias used in [[MAX 300]], as well as in ''crossbeats REV. SUNRISE'''s ''2020''; its effect references the number 300 and 320, the maximum BPM of MAX 300 and [[MAXX UNLIMITED]] respectively. The negative part of the effect works like the [[DDR AC General Info|LIFE4]] modifier in the DanceDanceRevolution series, with four misses hard failing the song.
** The NMR skill スーパーノヴァ (Supernova) references [[AC DDR SuperNOVA|Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA]] and its effect's numbers reference [[Fascination MAXX]]'s artist name 100-200-400. The negative part of the effect has the song hard failing with a number of misses equal to 18, which is the difficulty rating for Fascination MAXX's both CHALLENGE charts.
