Trivia

 * This co-production was broadcasted 1 month after the original Japanese version, and it is the earliest known co-production of the series, which was released before other ones, such as in Vietnam and Myanmar, and before the original version's UK airing on JSTV.
 * This is one of 3 co-productions to have original songs, and the first co-production to have original segments.
 * Only the "Rainbow Land" "Music Land", "Forest Land" and "Sunshine Land" eras are available to watch (as different seasons) on Prime Video and Cocoro.
 * TBA made guest appearances during the show's 2005 Christmas Special.
 * This is the first co-production to have the Smile Land era.
 * Daisy first wore a pink poodle costume (Similar to Kana's) during both the promotional event, and in the Tree Land era. she later wore it again in the 1998 Halloween Special.
 * Starry would later appear as a "surprise guest" alongside Daisy in a 2017 Royal Albert Hall performance of "Come On Down To...Wan Wan's Wonderland!".
 * The end credits end with text over a "blue sky" background saying "A NHK and NHK Educational production for BBC1" (later changed to the current "A NHK and NHK Educational co-production for CBeebies"). this was removed and replaced with a fade-to-black transition in the Astro+ version.
 * International animation studios such as EON Animation, Linkhouse Animation, and Endorphin Animation were known for working on the animation for the original segments, and even music videos of original songs.
