  • Throughout the entire video of VANESSA, a portrait of "Vanessa" is displayed. Depending on the song performance, the portrait portrays certain facial expressions.
  • VANESSA features a loud guitar sound, which has been used on every 朱雀 song so far.
  • VANESSA is one of two songs (the other being KAMAITACHI) on beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD CS that feature a special chart only available in Dan mode.

  • VANESSA's video was removed from the beatmania IIDX arcade games in beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro due to technical issues. It was replaced with a generic video. However, its original video could still be found in the hard drive data, and its unique title card remained.
  • In the arcade DanceDanceRevolution releases, VANESSA's beatmania IIDX video is used, but plays in the background and is not full-screen.
  • VANESSA appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the beatmania IIDX Song Pack3.

Song Production Information

Suzaku

There is enough separation between "mental anguish" and normality.

The melody is divided between left and right as if to echo his thoughts full of hypocrisy.

He was seen as a "moralist" but suffered as a "hypocrite." His ultimate fate will be welcome to him!

...Or not!

Video Production Information

MAYA

Vanessa de Verdet
1794-1844

Earl Vanessa de Verdet.

He was so obsessed with the idea of noble life that he suffered sadly for it.
A portrait called Earl Vanessa portrays the grief that dwells with him.

In 1845, the painting, which had the bottom half burnt during the war, was restored.

Currently, the painting is kept at a particular museum.
There seems to be a strange event, where a burnt ash pile gathers under his portrait.


... or maybe not.
