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.
 * 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.
 * Famous Chinese singer Mei Jiao Sun and actress made guest appearances during the show's 2005 and 2008 Christmas Specials. they would later appear as "surprise guests" alongside Starry and Daisy in a 2017  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, Golden Harvest Animation, and Endorphin Animation were known for working on the animation for the original segments, and even music videos of original songs.
