Trivia
- This song has different backgrounds, banners, jackets, or other related images. For more information, please see this page.
- SPICY PIECE is Tomonori Ikeda's only instrumental song in BEMANI.
- In the Asian English releases of pop'n music and pop'n music 2, SPICY PIECE's artist was slightly altered to ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK.
- SPICY PIECE received a brand-new HYPER chart in pop'n music 3.
- It received a slightly different HYPER chart in pop'n music 6 CS. This new HYPER chart was carried to the arcade releases in pop'n music 9.
- It also received 5-Buttons and Battle charts in pop'n music 9.
- In pop'n music 2 and its CS counterpart, SPICY PIECE's character was MZD [2-7P].
- In pop'n music 3, it was SHOLLKEE [3-3P] instead.
- In pop'n music 3 CS, it was replaced by CHARLY [1-2P].
- In the pop'n stage series, SPICY PIECE's character was changed from CHARLY to Secret D. Secret D also appears in pop'n music 6 CS as the rival character for SPICY PIECE.
- Secret D's design is based on DICK, the rival character of Girl from the Portrait, but with some new and modified animations.
- SPICY PIECE's HYPER chart is notorious for being very difficult to time, as the timing window for GREATs is non-existant, leading players to only score COOLs or GOODs.
- In earlier pop'n music games with gameplay modes without COOLs, the timing window for COOLs is used for GREATs instead.
- In the pop'n stage series and Beat'n Groovy, SPICY PIECE's title was capitalized as spicy piece.
- An unused 3P portrait for CHARLY can be found in the pop'n music data, planned for scrapped URA charts for SPICY PIECE.
- spicy piece's Beat'n Groovy 5-Buttons chart is exactly the same as its original pop'n music 5-Button chart.
- SPICY PIECE was added to the BEMANI category in pop'n music éclale.
