FLOWER is infamous for appearing on every active BEMANI series, with some accusing KONAMI of milking the song for all its worth, similar to how V is infamous for appearing on nearly every beatmania IIDX CS release. It first appeared in [[REFLEC BEAT]] and [[jubeat knit APPEND]], then moved into [[PnM AC 20|pop'n music 20 fantasia]], [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]], [[AC DDR X3|DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX]], ''DanceEvolution ARCADE'', ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom'', and ''BeatStream''.

The song is not fit for GuitarFreaks & DrumMania as it is not a rock song, nor is it fit for SOUND VOLTEX as it is a preexisting KONAMI original but not a remix. Nevertheless it appeared on those games anyway, in the form of a [[FLOWER -TLION69 Remix-|TLION69 remix]] on [[AC GFDM XG3|GuitarFreaksXG3 & DrumManiaXG3]] and a [[FLOWER REDALiCE Remix|REDALiCE remix]] on [[SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH]]. Despite having first appeared as a remix, the original FLOWER was later added to [[SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS]] on October 8th, 2015.

While [[:Category:songs_in_5_or_more_BEMANI_games|songs appearing in many BEMANI games]] are becoming less surprising due to major BEMANI crossover events such as [[Shiritsu BEMANI gakuen]] and [[Nettou! BEMANI Stadium]], FLOWER is still particularly infamous as it was crossed over independently of and before the appearance of such overarching events.

FLOWER's wide presence continued to expand even further. On October 29th, 2014, FLOWER became the first KONAMI original song to be transplanted to non-BEMANI music game titles. It was transplanted to ''GROOVE COASTER EX'', ''maimai ORANGE'', and ''太鼓の達人 キミドリVer.'' as part of the ''Tenkaichi otogesai Zenkoku issei nintei taikai'' (天下一音ゲ祭 全国一斉認定大会) event.
