Song Connections / Remixes

  • A down-tempo, extended version of Innocent Walls appears in TaQ's second album, ongaq:stromatolite.
  • The Single ANOTHER chart version of Innocent Walls sounds significantly different than the other charts.

Trivia

  • Innocent Walls was largely composed while TaQ was recuperating in a hospital. The title is a reference to the hospital walls based on a conversation TaQ had with another patient.
    • TaQ later stated on Twitter that the conversation during his recuperation was what led him to stop contributing to beatmania IIDX, believing he has done his part and should move on, despite the beatmania IIDX staff's opposition.
  • Innocent Walls' charts were made by TaQ himself.
  • Retroactively, Innocent Walls is the first song to have a Level 12 Single HYPER chart.
    • Innocent Walls and gigadelic are the only songs in beatmania IIDX with Single HYPER charts rated Level 12.
  • Innocent Walls' old BEGINNER chart has the highest notecount of any BEGINNER chart, with 530 notes.
  • Innocent Walls and Changes mark TaQ's final original compositions in the beatmania IIDX series.
  • Measure #69 of Innocent Walls' ANOTHER chart may be considered an inside joke.

Song Production Information

TaQ

The last wall was too innocent.

Video Production Information

F-FLY

It has a very powerful melody, so I also tried to make a very powerful video. (Don't you know what I mean? Don't worry, please follow its feeling)

I imagined the "Walls" of "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti.
Something like, "the walls are innocent, no matter what is expressed on them".
"The pen is mightier than the sword", right?
"Don't make your point through violence, express it to the wall. There's no guilt in complaining to the wall". I wonder if it feels like this?
And...
(Be careful!! In reality, it's a crime to cover walls with graffiti!!)

That's why. It has a graffiti style. A street style.
I tried to mix the blood splatter design + typography + TaQ.
No one will notice it, but I also included footage from secret LIVE.
