Trivia

• NORTH's overlays were not retained when the song was revived in beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED.
• To unlock NORTH in pop'n music 16 PARTY♪, you must clear クラゲータ (pop'n music 11) with the 上下さかさま (Jogesakasama) Ojama. NORTH will be available in the SECRET category for your next Stage.
• NORTH's EX chart on pop'n music is based on beatmania IIDX's DP charts.
• 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 the beatmania APPEND GOTTAMIX 2 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. Unlike Mighty Guy (which returned with a new vocalist), NORTH has never been revived.
• NORTH has never been on a CS release of pop'n music.
