This joke manifests itself as anything relating to playing a song at certain hours, being in love with a song, effective ways of appreciating a song, particular times of the year to purchase IIDX games, or anything relating to Rislim Remix.

A mainstay throughout the English-speaking Bemani community.  The basic concept of a GET IT is to find Bemani song titles in sentences during conversation, whether intentional or not.

This has also been extended to objects in everyday life that contain references to Bemani song titles (or the titles themselves, such as ACT mouthwash), or other aspects of Bemani games in general.

The [[CS_10th_style|10th CS]] site launch was notable due to being the first IIDX site with audio-visual previews of the new CS songs.

With one small and hilarious problem: the button to click to view them was labeled as '''Peview'''.  This has since been corrected but, like all good Engrish typos, will live in infamy.

It is traditional for fake songs to float around the community when games go into location test, as crafty players try to pass off the most plausible crap on unsuspecting fanboys desperate for MP3s.

The most notable of all fake location test songs was '''M''', which appeared during the 8th Style Location Test period. Credited to dj TAKA, based on a Beethoven song (Sonata quasi una fantasia ''Moonlight Sonata'', Mvt. 3 "Presto Agitato"), and sounding similar enough to [[V]], it convinced enough players that it was legit to place it in the hall of fame for IIDX-related pranks.

Last Message's video features a three-second long cleavage shot that many players consider distracting.  Many a combo has been blown during that section of the song.

A mistyped response by MazriM TaiM during the second [[Music Tatsujin Challenge]] that fell into popular usage.  Similarly, but not quite as popular, was the song [[GOBBLE]] being typed as "Gooble" in the fourth [[Music Tatsujin Challenge]].

[[INJECTION OF LOVE|Injection of Love]] contains a line that was controversial at the time [[AC_RED|IIDX RED]] was released, and there was a great deal of debate over what Sana was actually saying. When the keysounded BMS simfile for Injection of Love was released, the keysound for this lyric ended up sounding more like "truck me". It was later confirmed that she said "stroke me", but "truck me" remains a somewhat popular inside joke.

The sound of the song [[Gigadelic]] has often been compared in the community to the sound of a large number of washer/dryers all running at once. Taren is responsible for this; it began when a test location video of [[Gigadelic]] was released, and due to the poor sound quality, he commented that it sounded like "an off-balance washing machine".

When Gambol first appeared, many players noticed the timing was, to put it mildly, horrible. It was difficult to get Just Greats or Greats; most everyone ended up getting a majority of Goods on the song.

When Gambol was revived around 9th Style, the timing still was not fixed. Since it was featured in Beginner Mode, many new players attempted it and were failed out due to the inability to push themselves into the red.

On Happy Sky, the L7 chart received fixed timing, but the 7-key chart mysteriously did not.

On RED CS, Konami's ultimate inside joke was unleashed on the community as an Another chart was added (accessibly only via the Slake course at the current time).  All three SP charts are exactly the same; the only difference is the timing.  While the L7 will allow most players to score Greats, and the 7 chart continues to give most players Goods, the Another chart has even more ridiculously broken timing and will hand out Bads like they are Halloween candy.

Perhaps to further the joke, [[CS DJ TROOPERS]] has a code in which Gambol's timing can be used for any song, by pressing select after songs beginning with G, J, and H for Hyper timing, or G, J, and A for the another timing.
