When it came time to localize the game overseas, careful consideration was made to make sure the game had the same impact on an American audience as it did for the original Japanese demographic. This included dubbing the songs into English, with the original development team overseeing and approving the new vocals. At one point, there were plans to include the Japanese vocals as an unlockable, but this was cut due to memory constraints<ref>[https://www.destructoid.com/gdc-09-chatting-with-nintendos-rich-amtower/ GDC 09: Chatting with Nintendo's Rich Amtower – Destructoid]</ref>. A remnant of this can be found in the ROM of the North American version, where two files labeled "STRM_072" and "STRM_073" can be found, these being the Japanese versions of [[Struck by the Rain]]. The idea of including a dual soundtrack would later be realized in ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]'' (exclusively in the European version) and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' (in all overseas releases). | When it came time to localize the game overseas, careful consideration was made to make sure the game had the same impact on an American audience as it did for the original Japanese demographic.
