* HARDCORE TANO*C's store sells [[beatnation RHYZE vs HARDCORE TANO*C]] and the ''beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK VOL.2'' album; it's the only doujin-related store to sell [[beatnation Records]] releases.
** beatnation RHYZE vs HARDCORE TANO*C sold at the TANO*C store featured a limited, unique front cover which only shown the participating TANO*C artists (except P*Light and Shohei Uno).
* Since 2014, BEMANI top-ranker player ''DOLCE.'' works for HARDCORE TANO*C by making megamixes for the label's compilations, as well as being the opening DJ for their live events. In late 2016, he produced his first compilation, ''NANSUKA COLLECTION'', where he also appeared on its front cover.
** He also makes interviews with the circle's members and related guest artists; [http://www.tanocblog.net/special/ they can all be viewed here].
* The S2TBTANO*C events organized by HARDCORE TANO*C and S2TB Recording always feature DJ sets by [[Tetsuya Tamura]] as Y&Co., with all of the BEMANI songs done under that alias played live.
* P*Light and Shohei Uno are the only HARDCORE TANO*C members to be also beatnation RHYZE ones. In BEMANI, both being part of the latter group takes the priority.
