*"Taion" and "Kagami yo Kagami" are both rejected songs for Honda Minako. written by Aku Yu with his eldest son Fukada Taro."田村芽実、1stミニアルバム『Sprout』詳細発表＆全曲トレーラー映像も公開" (in Japanese). Billboard JAPAN. 2019-02-22.
**"Taion" was a submission for Honda's 1994 album JUNCTION. Matsui Goro, who has written several hit songs for Kudo Shizuka, wrote new lyrics for "Taion" just for Tamura."田村芽実、1stミニアルバム「Sprout」の詳細と全曲トレイラー映像を公開" (in Japanese). Musicman-net. 2019-02-22.
**After JUNCTION was released, Aku and Fukada wrote "Kagami yo Kagami" as another submission.
