It's also available as an unlock with time-released unlocks by playing Arcade mode for 19.5 hours.
This is also the first time the ENCORE STAGE of the previous game was not made immediately available in Standard Mode in the following game.
Timepiece phase II is Hirofumi Sasaki's final song credited to his name in the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series.
It's also the only song in GuitarFreaks & DrumMania credited under his name that does not feature Yoshihiko Koezuka on bass.

The sun from Timepiece phase II's video would later become a selectable character in GITADORA OverDrive's Battle System.
