Trivia

 * Creator Kazutaka Kodaka has stated he is a long-time fan of hide's music, and was given permission to use the song for the anime because of this reason.
 * On the May 26th, 2016 publishing of the magazine Zettai Zetsubou Kodaka, Kodaka gave reason and influence behind him wanting to use the song:
 * "And that’s my feelings on it. I guess this was a twist of fate. I hope that someday, just like I was influenced by hide-san, there will be someone in the next generation of creators who is influenced by my Dangan Ronpa series and gives birth to brand new art. If hide-san was still alive, I’d like to meet him, if only for a moment."
