Note that to qualify for this page, the song must have ''already'' been in a released BEMANI game beforehand.
 * Delayed releases (such as [[Asaki]]'s second album [[Tentei (album)|天庭]], which was delayed two years due to him being sick).
-* Notecharts that never made to an arcade BEMANI release, despite data for the song existing in HDD data (i.e. [[Line Times]]'s EX chart).
 * pop'n music games that had characters scrapped (i.e. [[the KING]]'s removal from [[AC pnm 9|pop'n music 9]]).

 * Although tricoro was the first beatmania IIDX game to not have EXPERT MODE, graphical data for this mode on the MODE SELECT screen can be found unused in tricoro's HDD.
-* Keysounds and preview audio for the song exists in tricoro, with its own ID number of 20026 and with the [[AC SIRIUS|SIRIUS]] HOUSE generic video assigned to it, but it has no notecharts and was never made playable, being the only unused song with sound data that didn't appear in any of the following IIDX games. This might be attributed to its composers, [[Naoki Maeda|NAOKI]] and [[Junko Karashima|jun]], both leaving KONAMI in early 2013.
