** Previous games only had ''one'' song in the entire game because RealityHasNoSoundtrack, said song only being played when the credits began to roll.

*** [[spoiler:The game also includes the only instance of a soundtrack in the series being played in-game. Once the game is completed and the credits roll, Yuzu can collect a bouquet of seven blue flowers to bring to the rooftop for Kotori. Kotori will be satisfied that Yuzu remembered her and has grown braver, causing her to disappear shortly after, leaving the music player seen in the rest stop memory. Yuzu takes this back to her house and is able to listen to it while inside. What was Kotori listening to on her music player? ''[[DiegeticSoundtrackUsage The game's main theme.]]'']]
