* I is the Highest Excellence Award winning song of ''The 7th KAC Original Song Contest'' (The 7th KAC オリジナル楽曲コンテスト). It was unveiled in the final round of the SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN section of [[KONAMI Arcade Championship|The 7th KONAMI Arcade Championship]] on February 11th, 2018.
** It can be unlocked in SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN from February 21st, 2018 via the ''Ω Dimension'' unlock system after clearing [[A Lasting Promise]] and [[Last Resort]].
* [[RASIS]] and [[TAMA-chan & TAMANEKO|TAMANEKO]] appear in I's jackets. 
** This marks the first time TAMANEKO is featured in a KONAMI Arcade Championship final song's jacket.
** TAMA-chan also appears in I's MAXIMUM jacket. However, when I was first shown in The 7th KONAMI Arcade Championship final, TAMA-chan did not appear on the jacket.
* I uses a unique dark background at the start of the song. It changes to another brighter one in the last quarter of the song after the blackout sequence.
** This background is used in every ''Ω Dimension Phase 3-5'' song, however, they do not have overlays (except [[Made In Love]] and [[Xronier|Xronièr]]).
** In the second half of the song, RASIS and TAMANEKO (as drawn in the song's jacket) appear. TAMA-chan also appears after the blackout sequence.
*** During The 7th KONAMI Arcade Championship final, a special overlay covered the top of the screen, with the score and song information windows being invisible. RASIS and TAMANEKO were positioned differently, appearing together above the chart lanes. TAMA-chan also did not appear.
* During the second half of I, an introduced gimmick makes the screen temporarily go pitch-black for a few seconds, a first in the series and in BEMANI in general. The chart remains stopped for the entire duration of the blackout sequence.
* At the end of the blackout sequence, as the screen is fading back in, a Morse code can be heard. The code is "TKS" (- -.- ...), Morse code abbreviation for "Thanks".
* I marks Masaki Sekikawa's first appearance in the SOUND VOLTEX series since [[Witch in Sweetsland]] from [[AC SDVX III|SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS]], back in 2015.
* I's title is read as "Ai" (愛), Japanese for "Love".
** I represents Love as well.
* PHQUASE's effector credits roughly translates to "From the darkness of the abyss, the one who draws the light beam".
* When I was first released, a bug in the MAXIMUM chart caused the shorter long FX notes in the first verse of the song to count 0 chain, making them unnecessary to be pressed. This was initially fixed on February 23rd, 2018 by slightly extending these long notes backwards.
** The chain bug itself was then properly fixed on June 9th, 2021 and the changes to these long notes have since been reverted.
* I was added to [[CS SDVX III|SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS コナステ]]'s REGULAR course on August 1st, 2019.
** It is also available in GRAVITY WARS コナステ's INFINITE course and [[CS SDVX EG|EXCEED GEAR コナステ]] from November 6th, 2019, by purchasing the '''Konasute SOUND VOLTEX Music Pack vol.5''' (コナステ版 SOUND VOLTEX 楽曲パック vol.5).
* I was added to jubeat (2021) on June 2nd, 2022.
* I's MAXIMUM jacket is used as the jacket in the jubeat series.
* I could be unlocked in beatmania IIDX 30 RESIDENT from November 1st, 2022 to January 11th, 2023, as part of the [[Ichika no gochamaze Mix UP!]] (いちかのごちゃまぜMix UP！) event.
** From February 8th, 2024, it can be purchased in [[AC EPOLIS|beatmania IIDX 31 EPOLIS]] with [[AC EPOLIS/Hizou no record|Hizou no record]] (秘蔵のレコード).
** As of [[AC Pinky Crush|beatmania IIDX 32 Pinky Crush]], it is available by default.
* I being crossed over marks Masaki Sekikawa's first appearance in the beatmania IIDX series.
* I is one of the FROM SDVX-01 unlocks of jubeat Ave.'s ''LIGHT CHAT'' unlocking system. It could be unlocked from March 16th to April 11th, 2023, and from July 26th to August 15th, 2023.
** In [[AC jb beyond the Ave.|jubeat beyond the Ave.]], it could be unlocked through LIGHT CHAT from June 19th to July 9th, 2024.
