*The name of the game uses an old character, {{Nihongo|'''ゐ'''|wi}}, which is rarely used in modern Japanese, where the game's name would be written as {{Nihongo|'''いあい斬り'''|Iai Slash}}. "Iai" is a complicated word, describing the "art of drawing one's sword, cutting down one's opponent and sheathing the sword afterwards". If read with the old spelling, it would be pronounced "Wiahi Giri".
*The name of this game uses a nearly obsolete Japanese kana, {{Nihongo|'''[[wikipedia:Wi (kana)|]]'''|wi}}, which is rarely used in modern Japanese. The modern spelling would be {{Nihongo|'''いあい斬り'''|Iai Slash}}. "[[wikipedia:Iaijutsu|Iai]]" is the "art of quickly drawing one's sword, cutting down one's opponent and sheathing the sword afterwards". In short, a quick-draw sword technique.
**This game lacks an official English name due to ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' not being released outside of Japan. The closest would be the name of [[Samurai Slice (DS)|Samurai Slice]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', which is named {{Nihongo|'''ゐあひ斬り外伝'''|Iai Giri Gaiden}} in Japanese.
