Trivia

• NORTH's overlays were not retained when the song was revived in beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED.

• NORTH's EX chart in pop'n music is based on its beatmania IIDX Double HYPER chart.
• Most of fili's animations were recycled from Caring Dance. However, fili got new WIN and LOSE animations.
  • These WIN and LOSE animations and NORTH's background are references to its beatmania APPEND GOTTAMIX2 ~Going Global~ animations.
• NORTH was one of the new songs from pop'n music 16 PARTY♪ that was cut on the next pop'n music title, along with 20,november and Mighty Guy.
• NORTH has never been on a CS release of pop'n music.
• According to TOMOSUKE on his staff comments, NORTH is his favorite beatmania APPEND GOTTAMIX2 ~Going Global~ song.
