Note: only games where an entirely new song debuted will be listed. For example, the only song composed by Izumi that was added to the REFLEC BEAT series in REFLEC BEAT colette -Spring- (ARC) was Mirage, which had already appeared in jubeat saucer (ARC). Thus, REFLEC BEAT colette -Spring- (ARC) is not listed. This does not apply to games where a transplant song was rearranged, such as REFLEC BEAT colette -All Seasons-'s rearrangement of FIRE.
