The second song played is "Mexican Flyer" by Ken Woodman. It is featured in Space Channel 5, which Tomoko's little sister plays early on in the movie.
The final song played is "Sing Sing Sing with a Swing" by Louis Prima.
Many of the girls had not played these instruments before, but they did play the performances in the film after training for only 5 months. To prove this was not movie-magic, a tour was organized after the film with a live CD released shortly after.
