Song Connections / Remixes

• A rock arrangement of Elemental Creation featuring guitars by good-cool, titled Elemental Creation -GITADO ROCK ver.-, can be found in GITADORA.
• In pop'n music, Elemental Creation is part of the HARD RENAISSANCE series of songs. The other songs in the series are:
  • HARD RENAISSANCE 2, Evans, which appears in pop'n music Sunny Park.
  • HARD RENAISSANCE 3, JOMANDA, which also appears in pop'n music Sunny Park.
  • Despite being produced after Evans and JOMANDA, Elemental Creation is classified as the first in the series because it was added to pop'n music before the other two songs.
