Song Connections / Remixes
- A sequel to 妖怪Zの唄, ワルドック船長のブルース, can be found in pop'n music 11.
Trivia
- 妖怪Zの唄 was a hidden song in pop'n music 4. To play it:
- On your first STAGE, clear a song with a MAX combo of 44 at the end.
- On your second STAGE, clear either VISUAL (WHITE BIRDS) or VISUAL 2 (Cry Out).
- 妖怪Zの唄 will then be playable on FINAL STAGE. (If playing on PARTY/SCORE BATTLE mode, one of the two players must meet these requirements.)
- 妖怪Zの唄 is Hiroki Koga's first original composition for the pop'n music series.
- It also marks Shinichi Ishihara's first KONAMI original song in the pop'n music series.
- According to Seiya Murai, 妖怪Zの唄's genre was decided after the lyrics, even though it's a blues song. A song with the BLUES genre, 悪の野望はブルース, appeared later in pop'n music 6.
- Coincidentally, 悪の野望はブルース was also composed by Hiroki Koga under his ナヤ～ン・ブラザーズ・バンド alias, though it has a different vocalist.
- 妖怪Zの唄 received brand-new HYPER and EX charts in pop'n music 13 カーニバル, unlockable from December 7th to 28th, 2005 as part of the Waku-waku pop'n world (わくわく ポップンワールド) event.
- 妖怪Zの唄 was absent from the pop'n music 17 THE MOVIE location tests. However, it reappeared in the final release.
