One Chorus Kid appears in [[Munchy Monk (Wii)|Munchy Monk]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', where the [[Munchy Monk (character)|titular monk]] is seen training by feeding him on a moving train. The conductor is [[Supporting Cast 1|described]] as a [[Racing Fans|Racing Fan]], although the [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|The Clappy Trio]] are the ones seen forming a crowd in [[Freeze Frame]].

In [[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic#09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き (A lively and peaceful night by Maki)|09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き]] (A lively and peaceful night by Maki), the Chorus Kids are seen singing [[wikipedia:Christmas carol|Christmas carols]] on TV.

*While the Conductor is a former member of the [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|Clappy Trio]], he seems to be missing the tail that members of the trio are shown to have. This is further exemplified in [[Glee Club 2 (DS)|Glee Club 2]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', where he appears in a swimsuit, and still lacks a visible tail.

*During the [[Glee Club 2|Glee Club]] Song in the [[Guitar Lessons]], [[J.J. Rocker]] at one point wonders why the Glee Club conductor never moves. While he does stand completely still in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', a new cue was added in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', which has the conductor waving his baton to signal to the Chorus Kids when to stop in unison.

*There was a [[ssbwiki:Gematsu leaks|widely spread leak]] that claimed that the Chorus Kids would become playable characters in ''[[ssbwiki:Super Smash Bros. 4|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. Even though the leak predicted 9 out of 11 characters correctly, the Chorus Kids didn't join the playable roster, meaning that either that part of the leak was false, or the Chorus Kids were scrapped during development.
*The information given in the [[Rhythm Item]]s is generally consistent across languages, but some alter certain details. For example, the Japanese and Korean versions say the Conductor uses his baton to eat snacks he dropped on the floor<ref>"せなかがカユイからって、首の後ろからあのぼうをツッコむの、やめてほしい!あと、おやつをゆかにおっことしちゃったからって、あのぼうをつかってひろうのも、やめてほしい!ボクも、あのべんりなぼうがほしい!"

We sometimes find this stuff stuck on it...) ~ [[Baton|Baguette d'orchestre]] (Orchestral baton), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'' (French)</ref>. This detail goes along with the added detail that [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|the Clappy Trio]] likes to eat spaghetti bolognese<ref>"Le cachet de nos 42 concerts précédents est parti dans ces nouveaux costumes hyper-classe. Du coup, on évite de les porter quand on mange des spaghettis bolognaise..." (The cachet of our previous 42 concerts has gone in these new hyper-class costumes. So we avoid wearing them when we eat spaghetti bolognese...) ~ [[White Suit|Costume immaculé]] (Immaculate costume), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'' (French)</ref>.
