Song Connections / Remixes
- Plan 8's title is similar to other earlier Ryu☆ non-BEMANI songs, Plan A and Plan B.
- According to Ryu☆, Plan 8's second half comes from an earlier song of his called Theme of Plan 8, a song he produced back in 1997 under his Plan 8 unit in school (see trivia).
Trivia
- Plan 8 is the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE song of LEGEND CROSS in beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro. To unlock it, you must EX-HARD Clear Thor's Hammer with an AAA rank to access this song.
- As of 11/07/2012, Plan 8 is accessed by clearing Thor's Hammer with any type of gauge, under specific rank conditions depending on the difficulty chosen. All the charts are accessible.
- When Plan 8 is played as a boss stage in LEGEND CROSS, the arcade LED ticker displays "RED BOSS 12".
- Plan 8 is Ryu☆'s first ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE song since 3y3s in beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS.
- The design of the boss in the BGA of Plan 8 is based on the clown from the overlays of A. The red Boss Crystals float around it.
- In the first half of the song, the clown appears as a chibi character like in the LEGEND CROSS cutscenes. The transformation occurs afterwards.
- When you miss a note, the clown reveals itself as a girl dressed in red and attacks the Q-pro avatar with the Boss Crystals.
- The girl's name is Red Ripika.
- The name Plan 8 was used by Ryu☆'s unit with a friend back when he was a student in high school in 1997. (1997 is also the year he started to write music.)
- He notes in the song production information for Plan 8 that the name itself comes from the infamous Ed Wood movie Plan 9 from Outer Space.
