After perfecting [[Night Walk 2]] in [[Rhythm Tengoku]], you unlock an email called "Night Walk Information." The email tells the player that "the little guy in Night Walk" loves music, and has appeared in several other music related games. The writer of the email actually met Play-Yan on the street and tried to talk to him. Play-Yan responded only with, "I love music!" before walking away up some stairs.
