FLOWER is infamous for appearing on every active BEMANI series, with some accusing KONAMI of milking the song for all its worth, similar to how V is infamous for appearing on nearly every beatmania IIDX CS release. It first appeared in [[AC RB|REFLEC BEAT]] and [[AC jb knit APPEND|jubeat knit APPEND]], then moved into [[AC pnm 20|pop'n music 20 fantasia]], [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]], [[AC DDR X3|DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX]], [[AC DanEvo|DanceEvolution ARCADE]], ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom'', [[AC BST|BeatStream]], and [[AC MSC 1+1/2|MÚSECA 1+1/2]].

Games where the original FLOWER would not be fitting have received rearranged and remixed versions of the song: a [[FLOWER -TLION69 Remix-|rock remix by TLION69]] on [[AC GFDM XG3|GuitarFreaksXG3 & DrumManiaXG3]], a [[FLOWER REDALiCE Remix|remix by REDALiCE]] on [[AC SDVX|SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH]], a [[FLOWER ~live pf addition~|piano version]] in [[AC NST FORTE|ノスタルジア FORTE]], an [[FLOWER (STARDOM Remix)|EDM remix by DJ TOTTO]] in [[AC DRS|DANCERUSH STARDOM]], and a [[FLOWER (BEMANI SYMPHONY Arr.)|symphonic arrangement by onoken and gaQdan]] for the [[BEMANI SYMPHONY ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK]] album (it later appeared in [[AC jb festo|jubeat festo]]). Despite having first appeared as a remix, the original FLOWER was later added to [[AC SDVX III|SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS]] on October 8th, 2015 as part of the [[Tenkaichi otogesai|第二回 天下一音ゲ祭]] (Dai ni kai Tenkaichi otogesai) event.
