Trivia
- According to the song commentary for World Wide Love, Osamu is not a fan of his own voice. Ironically, he provided the lead/backup vocals of nearly every song of his with vocals in it following his work on World Wide Love.
- Osamu's Des-ROW alias was first named by Takehiko Fujii. After Osamu developed an interest in the death metal genre, he was making jokes about "death pop" and other things with "death" in front of them, along with Akehiro Hidaka and Naoki189, and Takehiko remarked they were like a "death row". Osamu liked the sound of this, and took the Des-ROW alias for his metal song INNOVATION.
- However, Osamu notes on his BEMANI fan site page that his Des-ROW alias is pronounced as "dee srow", not "death row" or "dess row". A keysound at the end of Mychronicle however uses "dess row" instead.
- MTO stands for Migitera Osamu.
- According to Seiya Murai in this pop'n music 11 Q&A, Osamu was the one who suggested the travel theme that later became pop'n music 11.
- Osamu was the sound director of GuitarFreaks & DrumMania MASTERPIECE SILVER and GuitarFreaks V2 & DrumMania V2 CS.
- Osamu was the music director of DanceMasters / DanceEvolution on the Xbox 360.
- Osamu is also known as "The Famous Artist" (유명 아티스트) in Korean BEMANI fandom, originated from the TV show Do the G on Ongamenet introducing カゲロウ as "the song by the famous artist, Des-ROW".
