• In the arcade DanceDanceRevolution titles, POSSESSION features a unique video. However, it plays in the background of a purple-colored version of the Replicant D-action background dance stage and is not full-screen.
  • In DanceDanceRevolution II/DanceDanceRevolution hottest party5, POSSESSION's video removes any on-screen dancers and is played in a tiny monitor on the opposite side of the player on Single and in the center on Double/Versus, due to Nintendo Wii memory limitations.

• With 35 Freeze Arrows, POSSESSION's BEGINNER chart has the second highest amount of Freeze Arrows on any BEGINNER chart, beaten only by Over The “Period”'s 40.
• POSSESSION's BASIC charts held the record for the highest notecount of any BASIC chart, with 389 notes for Single and 379 notes for Double. These records were later broken by Elemental Creation's 438 notes for Single and 427 notes for Double.
• POSSESSION's EXPERT charts held the record for the highest jump count of any EXPERT chart, with 118 jumps for Single and 116 jumps for Double. These records were later broken by 灼熱Beach Side Bunny's 165 jumps for Single and 151 jumps for Double.
• POSSESSION is used as background music in a mission on the KONAMI arcade game ROAD FIGHTERS (ロードファイターズ).
• POSSESSION appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the DDR X2 Special Pack 3.
