FLOWER is infamous for appearing on every active BEMANI series, with some accusing KONAMI of milking the song for all its worth, similar to how V is infamous for appearing on nearly every beatmania IIDX CS release. It first appeared in [[REFLEC BEAT]] and [[AC jb knit APPEND|jubeat knit APPEND]], then moved into [[PnM AC 20|pop'n music 20 fantasia]], [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]], [[AC DDR X3|DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX]], [[AC DanEvo|DanceEvolution ARCADE]], ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom'', [[AC BST|BeatStream]], and [[AC MSC 1+1/2|MÚSECA 1+1/2]]. | FLOWER is infamous for appearing on every active BEMANI series, with some accusing KONAMI of milking the song for all its worth, similar to how V is infamous for appearing on nearly every beatmania IIDX CS release.

Games where the original FLOWER would not be fitting have received rearranged and remixed versions of the song: a [[FLOWER -TLION69 Remix-|rock remix by TLION69]] on [[AC GFDM XG3|GuitarFreaksXG3 & DrumManiaXG3]], a [[FLOWER REDALiCE Remix|remix by REDALiCE]] on [[AC SDVX|SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH]], and a [[FLOWER ~live pf addition~|piano version]] in [[AC NST FORTE|ノスタルジア FORTE]]. Despite having first appeared as a remix, the original FLOWER was later added to [[AC SDVX III|SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS]] on October 8th, 2015 as part of the [[Tenkaichi otogesai Zenkoku issei nintei taikai|天下一音ゲ祭 全国一斉認定大会]] 2015 (Tenkaichi otogesai Zenkoku issei nintei taikai 2015) event. | Games where the original FLOWER would not be fitting have received rearranged and remixed versions of the song: a [[FLOWER -TLION69 Remix-|rock remix by TLION69]] on [[AC GFDM XG3|GuitarFreaksXG3 & DrumManiaXG3]], a [[FLOWER REDALiCE Remix|remix by REDALiCE]] on [[AC SDVX|SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH]], and a [[FLOWER ~live pf addition~|piano version]] in [[AC NST FORTE|ノスタルジア FORTE]].

Amongst fans, their ''de facto'' catch phrase is "Without you tonight" (ウィザウチュナイ, or "wizauchunai"), a phrase present in almost every original VENUS song, and serves as the song genre for [[Brand New World]] in pop'n music, and later, the genre of the VENUS series in pop'n music as a whole. It is also one of several tags used regularly for VENUS-related works on NicoNicoDouga and pixiv. | Amongst fans, their ''de facto'' catch phrase is "Without you tonight" (ウィザウチュナイ, or "wizauchunai"), a phrase present in almost every original VENUS song, and serves as the song genre for [[Brand New World]] in pop'n music, and later, the genre of the VENUS series in pop'n music as a whole.

VENUS gained another memetic boost at JAEPO 2013, where Sota and Yoshitaka came on stage during a BEMANI event to debut their then-new song, [[Wow Wow VENUS]]. Amongst English-speaking fans, the line "Wow Wow VENUS" is infamous for sounding like "Wow Wow PENIS" instead. Needless to say the song skyrocketed in popularity before the entire song even debuted in [[REFLEC BEAT colette -Spring-]] about a month later. After a Twitter retweet campaign for early teaser material, the album jacket for Wow Wow VENUS was revealed; it shows Yoshitaka and Sota, together once again, with Yoshitaka suspiciously looking downwards. | VENUS gained another memetic boost at JAEPO 2013, where Sota and Yoshitaka came on stage during a BEMANI event to debut their then-new song, [[Wow Wow VENUS]].

Lincle LINK was a BEMANI crossover event. It started out as one for [[AC Resort Anthem|beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem]] and [[REFLEC BEAT]]. As time passed, four more phases of Lincle LINK were added, culminating in Lincle Link 5 in June 2012 between [[AC Lincle|beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle]] and [[REFLEC BEAT limelight]]. | Lincle LINK was a BEMANI crossover event.

Lincle LINK would continue to last even over a year after Lincle LINK 5. To add insult to injury, KONAMI finally started adding Lincle LINK Devil Cards that could be purchased with dellars to unlock them in [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]]... but these Devil Cards were only for Lincle Link '''1'''. As of [[AC SPADA|beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA]] and [[REFLEC BEAT colette -All Seasons-]], Lincle LINK was still in effect, forcing beatmania IIDX players and REFLEC BEAT players new to eAMUSEMENT to grind for unlocks from ''two years ago''; three versions ago for beatmania IIDX and two versions ago for REFLEC BEAT. | Lincle LINK would continue to last even over a year after Lincle LINK 5.

As a result, there were many jokes about how long until Lincle LINK ends (usually guessed to be on the order of years), or if it will even end. The same applied to the Devil Cards for the Lincle LINK 5 songs. | As a result, there were many jokes about how long until Lincle LINK ends (usually guessed to be on the order of years), or if it will even end.

THE SAFARI's Single HYPER chart has been the final stage of every single beatmania IIDX Single 7th Dan course ever since the introduction of Dani'nintei mode in [[AC 7th style|beatmania IIDX 7th style]] and still has this status today. Many players question its inclusion in 7th Dan, as it is substantially more difficult than the preceding three stages. In fact, many players struggle so much on completing the song and finally achieving 7th Dan status that there are players who simply skip 7th Dan and go complete 8th Dan instead, citing [[gigadelic]] on Single HYPER to be an easier "boss" song instead. Players who do this are known by Japanese players as "Safari Refugees" (サファリ難民, ''safari nanmin''). While there are many Single 6th Dan and 8th Dan players, there are comparatively few 7th Dan players. | THE SAFARI's Single HYPER chart has been the final stage of every single beatmania IIDX Single 7th Dan course ever since the introduction of Dani'nintei mode in [[AC 7th style|beatmania IIDX 7th style]] and still has this status today.

[[REFLEC BEAT groovin'!!]]'s REFLEC Dojo mode also references this, by having [[THE SAFARI -DJ TOTTO mix-]] as the FINAL ROUND of its 7th Dan course. | [[AC RB groovin'!!|REFLEC BEAT groovin'!!]]'s REFLEC Dojo mode also references this, by having [[THE SAFARI -DJ TOTTO mix-]] as the FINAL ROUND of its 7th Dan course. | ||
