Divorce Cutscene
In the Japanese version, a different portion of the Idol song from the previous game would play during a divorce related cutscene in the Café. It was changed into a soul-style, lower-key version of the theme from the Compatibility Tester if two Miis get 80-89% rating for the international releases.
Concert Hall
Default Song Lyrics
The lyrics of the songs have been changed between the two English releases because of the different Text-to-Speech voices. The only song that wasn't changed was Techno ("Operation Robodachi").
Enka
The song was removed from the international releases, being replaced with the Ballad, Techno and Musical songs. The reason for its removal was likely due to its very Japanese nature being too niche for Western audiences.

Musical
The name was most likely changed between releases because the North American song's name is the same as a line often repeated in the S Club 7 song, Reach.
| North America ("Reach for the Stars!")
|
Europe ("Life Changing")
|
|
|
|
| Have you ever had that dream
|
Have you ever loved somebody?
|
| of reaching for the stars?
|
Did you ever dare?
|
| Of putting your best foot forward
|
Did you want someone to just
|
| on Jupiter or Mars?
|
tell you that they care?
|
| Sha la la la la space dreamin'
|
Sha la la la la! Chin up!
|
| The galaxy's too small
|
There's no need to cry
|
| to contain your dreams
|
Loosen up and smile!
|
| if you know what I mean
|
It takes dedication
|
| So give it your all and
|
but if you open your heart
|
| dreams will change your life
|
it might change your life!
