- 321 STARS is the only returning original song in beatmania ClubMIX which did not receive new charts.
- 321STARS is the 19th song unlock of Sugoroku de 8 (すごろく de 8) in pop'n music 8. It can be unlocked from July 17th, 2002 through August 28th, 2002 by directly landing on the the city of Tokyo on your third trip around the board, which will take you to Hachiojima, and from there walk across it to unlock it.

- As of March 12th, 2003, this chart is playable by default.
- Counting jumps, 321 STARS' Single EXPERT chart has exactly 321 notes in it in DanceDanceRevolution, a reference to its name.
- Unfortunately, due to jumps counting as one note for combo purposes in all future DanceDanceRevolution titles after EXTREME, this little in-joke is lost.
- A similar joke occurred with 321 STARS in pop'n music with its NORMAL chart; if one achieved a full combo in pop'n music 8, it was 321 (MAX COMBO in earlier pop'n music game was the song's notecount total minus 1). Once the MAX COMBO got updated in later pop'n music games to include all of a song's notes, though, this joke was lost once more.

The running gag of this techno pop song, is "1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 222222222, 3, 2, 1, Hiiiii~" with the feel of an adorable, fast-moving hyper amusement facility (?), like a clockwork mini theater.
Underneath the warm melody is some kind of surreal world, where vigorous drums pound out high-octane beats.
