Trivia

- SPICY PIECE is Tomonori Ikeda's only instrumental song in BEMANI.
- In the Asian English releases of pop'n music and pop'n music 2, SPICY PIECE's artist was slightly altered to ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK.
- SPICY PIECE received a brand-new HYPER chart in pop'n music 3.
- It received a slightly different HYPER chart in pop'n music 6 CS. This new HYPER chart was carried over to the arcade releases in pop'n music 9.

- In pop'n music 3 CS, it was replaced by CHARLY [1-2P].
- In the pop'n stage series, SPICY PIECE's character was changed from CHARLY to Secret D. Secret D also appears in pop'n music 6 CS as the rival character for SPICY PIECE.
- Secret D's design is based on DICK, the rival character of Girl from the Portrait, but with some new and modified animations.
- SPICY PIECE's HYPER chart is notorious for being very difficult to time, as the timing window for GREATs is non-existent, leading players to only score COOLs or GOODs.
- In earlier pop'n music games with gameplay modes without COOLs, the timing window for COOLs is used for GREATs instead.
- In the pop'n stage series and Beat'n Groovy, SPICY PIECE's title was capitalized as spicy piece.
- An unused 3P portrait for CHARLY can be found in the pop'n music data, planned for scrapped URA charts for SPICY PIECE.
- spicy piece's Beat'n Groovy 5-Buttons chart is exactly the same as its original pop'n music 5-Button chart.
- SPICY PIECE was added to the BEMANI category in pop'n music éclale.

What's the SPY genre!? You're probably thinking this, but you'd understand when you listen to it.
There are continuous powerful phrases, such as the guitar in the intro, two-voice brass, and odd time signatures, and I think you'll feel a big sense of accomplishment when you can clear this song.
pop'n music original soundtrack
You might've heard the music genre name SPY for the first time, but that's the only thing I could think of. However, it isn't simply a parody, even if you look musically, there are a variety of highlights that become satisfying to play in the game. In particular, when you play the interacting brass in the second half well, it feels like your brain has separated into left and right sides. However, despite this, I kept its difficulty level a little low and made it simple. This CD contains the original song in the game, but you probably noticed that it's subtly arranged to sound more complicated.
pop'n stage
SECRET-S
It's the famous SPY from pop'n music. I thought it'd be interesting to step to the first half guitar phrases, so I ended up including this song in pop'n stage. After all, it was interesting. When you lower your body while stepping in the first half, perhaps you may feel a bit like a spy.
Character Information
