THE iDOLM@STER SP
During the extra scene available upon producing all nine idols, it is noted that Takagi produced an idol whose image songs were Sora and Hana. While this could mean he produced Kotori Otonashi, it does not mean that Kotori is the only idol who had those image songs (as in the case of Ai and Mai Hidaka).

While not directly featured in the game, Junichirou is mentioned in passing by 876 Production president Minori Ishikawa as the two are revealed to be on friendly terms.
THE iDOLM@STER 2
In THE iDOLM@STER 2, Junichirou Takagi has a cousin named Junjirou Takagi. In order to vacation in Hawaii, Junichirou became chairman (会長 kaichou) of 765 Production, leaving Junjirou to be the company's president. He wrote to his company staff about the changes, and even acknowledged the Producer's presence, despite the fact that he never had met him before.
The following is the resignation letter he sent 765 Production:
"Jirou-chan, Otonashi-kun, Idols, and Producer-kun, are you doing well? For various reasons, I'll be resigning from 765 Production. Thank you everybody! Well, I say reasons, but I'll be enjoying working on a Hawaiian suntan for now... Jirou-chan, don't worry. I'll be handing over the job of president to you. I leave it to you! I don't want to leak anything about Ritsuko-kun, but that's how things are Jirou-chan! Anyways, for the battle with 961 Production, train our talents to take the top spot in the world of idols. Producer-kun, on behalf of all of us, welcome to 765 Production! We look forward to working with you! You'll have to deal with lots of difficult problems. Even so, you'll surely... No matter what happens, I believe you'll be able to get through it! Good Luck!"[1]

Trivia and Fan Culture
Trivia
- Takagi used to be a producer back in the days, and he brags to the Producer about how an idol Takagi produced fell in love with him.
- Takagi doesn't take Takao Kuroi's rivalry very seriously. In fact, it seems as if Takagi could care less about Kuroi's attempts to bring down his production agency.
- In the official THE iDOLM@STER Archives, Takagi wrote a company profile and help wanted request for 765 Production. Within it, he provided a picture of himself, and admitted to producing the Namco star, Wonder Momo.
- Both he and Junjirou Takagi look close enough to be twins according to Kotori Otonashi. This apparently lead to antics like them occasionally switching places during their jobs, much like Ami and Mami Futami.
- Both of them also have the same birthday (July 6th).
- Junichirou Takagi's name comes from Junichirou Koyama, the producer of the arcade game.
