Song Connections / Remixes
- MAKE A JAM! is an extended rearrangement of the KONAMI "walking" logo jingle, heard in Japanese region console games from 1994 to late 1998, before KONAMI changed their logo from being in an Italic font to a bold one in November 1998. This is most notable in the very beginning and ending of the song.
- Another BEMANI song that samples the mid-'90s KONAMI logo jingle, mosaic, appears in beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS.
- The sampled lyrics in MAKE A JAM! can also be heard in Luv 2 Feel Your Body, from beatmania IIDX 8th style.
- A remix of MAKE A JAM! by Tino Saiki, titled MAKE A JAM! (Dub/House), can be found in DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX2.
