Trivia
- In beatmania (Europe), Cat Song ～Theme of UPA's title and genre were changed to CAT SONG and CHEESE, respectively.
- Cat Song ～Theme of UPA is the only song to have appeared on five beatmania console releases (APPEND YebisuMIX, BEST HITS, Europe, WonderSwan, and GB) but never in an arcade beatmania title.
- Cat Song ～Theme of UPA was one of the possible choices of BEMANI transplants for fans to vote in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME's development. The other candidates were Across the nightmare, DJ BATTLE, FLOWERS for ALBION, Morning Music, THE SAFARI, Threshold Lebel, Waza, and WITHOUT YOU AROUND.
- Part of Cat Song ～Theme of UPA's movie, which depicts a cat attempting to capture a mouse much like the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Tom and Jerry, was later recycled in あ！ ことりになっちゃった！'s movie.
