Trivia
- In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, and Kirby's Dream Buffet, Jun Ishikawa's compositions are indicated with red musical notes in the Jukebox. In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the notes are magenta instead.
- Ishikawa has a reputation for anecdotes about using everyday objects, such as empty nutrition drink bottles, in order to make a convincing sound. For Studying the Power Plant, he made the harsh electronic sounds by sticking his reading glasses between the strings of an electric guitar.
