## Trivia

* Yogi-kohai, the creator of H!SSB, confirmed that the series takes place before NNSG, after being asked by Nyan Neko Forever in the comments section of Episode 3.
* Tuzi being Australian is likely a reference to Jeice's English voice in DragonBall Z.
* A few characters share uncanny similarities to the original NNSG Cast; the most obvious one being Kasaki and his similarities to Hitoshi-san.
* While there are characters with similar designs and personalities, NNSG characters do make cameos in H!SSB. These include Nya-senpai in Episode 1 and even Raku-chan and Koneko-chan in Episode 3.
* The OP song is "CRASH!" by MR. BRIAN & THE FINAL BAND, featured in DDR SuperNOVA 2. The ED song is "birds" by Sana, featured in Pop'n Music 4. It's an unspoken tradition for most NNSG fan series to feature DDR music somewhere in the soundtrack.
	+ This trend has continued with the recently-revealed Season 2 intro, which uses "Let's go out!" by Ucchies ♥ Noria, from Pop'n Music 14 FEVER.
