In an IRC chat, DjKc iidx's reaction to this boss song from [[AC EMPRESS]] was a funny line from the movie ''Blue Velvet''.

PABST BLUE RIBBON" in every video of the song in existence from YouTube to even NicoNicoDouga. Almost all comments in a Himiko video contained "Himiko? FUCK THAT SHIT! PABST BLUE RIBBON", then even non-VJA members started imitating as well. The more serious comments about the song were marked as spam. | ||
The joke was funny until certain people abused the meme, thus it is one of the few inside jokes to become completely unfunny. | The joke was funny until certain people abused the meme, thus it is one of the few inside jokes to become completely unfunny. | ||

What makes them particularly infamous is the romantic and sexual overtones present in their songs, whether it be in the songs themselves or the visual media associated with them: [[Survival Games]]' album jacket features Sota and Yoshitaka topless, [[Far Away (VENUS)|Far Away]] features the two of them lying together with rose petals scattered across them, and in [[PnM AC SP|pop'n music Sunny Park]], VENUS gets a character pair based off of the two of them, with both characters performing with arms linked together and one of the characters holding the other in their arms in VENUS's LOSE animation. | What makes them particularly infamous is the romantic and sexual overtones present in their songs, whether it be in the songs themselves or the visual media associated with them: [[Survival Games]]' album jacket features Sota and Yoshitaka topless, [[Far Away (VENUS)|Far Away]] features the two of them lying together with rose petals scattered across them, and in [[PnM AC SP|pop'n music Sunny Park]], VENUS gets a character pair based off of the two of them, with both characters performing with arms linked together and one of the characters holding the other in their arms in VENUS's LOSE animation. | ||
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]].
