Early Builds

In a pre-release screenshot, the top part of the background has a darker section, implying it to be the corner of a wall. In the final build, the brighter part of the wall is the same shade as the darker section, making it much less detailed.

Pre-release	Final

Accoring to a sell sheet for Rhythm Tengoku Gold, this game was originally known as コーラス (Chorus^?).

In the Summit Fall 2008 Build of Rhythm Heaven, this game was known as Chorus.

Unused Content

There are multiple unused sprites of the Chorus Kids doing various actions, such as crouching down, blinking, smilling, and bobbing their heads. There's an unused animation of the Chorus Kids turning progressively more yellow.

There is an unused epilogue variant in Rhythm Heaven, depicting the third Chorus Kid whailing really loud. It is found in the graphics for the OK epilogue, suggesting it is an early version of it. The same graphics also contain a version of the final image where the third Chorus Kid has a white face rather than red, as well as isolated sprites from this image. The red color can also be seen in the other unused image, erroneously used in place of the black outline color.

Unused	Used

The graphics for the Superb epilogue have isolated sprites of a Chorus Kid standing, as well as the sparkles around them. The former sprite can also be found in the graphics for the Try Again and Superb epilogues to Glee Club 2, presumably serving as a reference for the new sprites. Glee Club 2's Try Again epilogue also has the full sprites of the Chorus Kids that go offscreen, the OK epilogue has the full sprite of the Conductor, and the Superb epilogue has the full sprites for the flora around the Chorus Kids.

Rhythm Heaven Fever

Unused Content

Although the Rhythm Game did not appear in Rhythm Heaven Fever, there is a file for sound effects labeled as "CHORUS MEN", suggesting either this game would've returned, or it was reserved for a new game based on it. The only sound in it is the voice clip for singing.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Glee Club consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven Megamix:

Internal Name	Image	Used in

ver_remix01		Machine Remix

Unused Content

The unused sprites of the Chorus Kids squatting down, blinking and bobbing their heads return, with the last one being more exaggerated such that they appear to be gazing upwards.
