* In William Shakespeare's play ''As You Like It'', the character Rosalind disguises herself as a deceitful boy named Ganymede. The song's odd speed (plus its changes) and its deceitful note chart may be an homage to the play.

* Ganymede is one of the four ''CARDINAL GATE'' EXTRA STAGE songs, featuring a green colored skin.
* This song features a green colored skin.
* Genbu is believed to be [[Jun_Wakita|Wac]]'s alias.  Perhaps the most apparent evidence for this is Wac's very distinctive energetic, longwinded writing style being used in the song notes on Konami's web site, as well as the song name, which follows Wac's pattern of naming songs after astronomical bodies. CARDINAL GATE conclusion (the CD that comes with the special edition of IIDX DistorteD CS) confirmed this by crediting him as composer.
* Ganymede is also the name of one of Jupiter's Galileo moons, and the song may refer to its lonely and desolate nature.
* The video features a green Armored Core-style robot-like character as the embodiment of Genbu.
* In Greek mythology Ganymede was the most beautiful man who ever lived. Zeus kidnaps him with very large birds and he lives out his life in Olympus.

=== Genbu ===
Hello. I'm Kametaro Kameda, who's portraying Genbu this time.<br>
You can't defeat me. There isn't an opportunity to defeat me. After the match, I'll enthusiastically sing "[[FANTASY]]" in the ring. (Today's joke)<br>
When I received the "you're a turtle. A clumsy and slow turtle" request, I became a turtle in my body and heart. I'm sorry, this body's useless.
Since somehow becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings is difficult, I tried to express a turtle's strengths.


== Music Production Info ==
After all, I'm a turtle.<br>
I'm slow. Very slow. That's why it's slow.


Hello.  I'm Kametarou Kameda, who is playing the role of Genbu this time around.<br/>
After all, I'm a turtle.<br>
You can't beat me.  There's no openings for you at all. After the match I'll stand in the ring and sing "FANTASY" or something. (Today's meme)<br/>
I'm sturdy. I have high defensive strength. It brushes off players' attacks.
"You are a turtle.  A slow, clumsy turtle" was the orders I was given, so I became a turtle in body and soul.  Sorry, this body was no good.


I worried about lots of things, like if this is fitting for one of the four heavenly kings, so I tried to express a turtle-like strength.
After all, I'm a turtle.<br>
I'm in the water. Swaying. The notecharts express the flowing water.


After all, it's a turtle.<br/>
After all, I'm a turtle.<br>
It's slow. It's veeery slow. So, you see, it's slow.
The second half is a decisive battle. The rabbit overtakes it. That's called "slowly becoming hostile". (Today's joke)


After all, it's a turtle.<br/>
In other words.<br>
It's hard. It's got very high defense. It will reflect all the players' attacks.
It doesn't matter if it's a good song or not. Anyways, it's a turtle-like song.<br>
It doesn't matter if the charts are enjoyable or not. Anyways, they're charts which can decently prevent [[Nageki no ki|ONE MORE]] from appearing.<br>
Since that was my task, I'm satisfied with my own sense of achievement.<br>
I did it, Kametaro did it, he ended up doing it, I'm sorry.


After all, it's a turtle.<br/>
I could've been a bit more lenient with the BPM and density, but with the appearance of SUDDEN+ and HI-SPEED 5.0, I finally dared to rage against kids in this kind of world who "love fast songs and hate slow songs".<br>
It lives in the water. It sways to and fro.  The patterns represent the flow of water.
To those skilled enough, by all means, please try to play it without using modifiers.<br>
No HI-SPEED and no modifiers are sometimes good.<br>
I don't know if it's a good idea to do that in this song.


After all, it's a turtle.<br/>
The song title came from<br>
The second half isn't quite a victory. The rabbit is catching up.  This must be what you call "deretsun". (Today's meme)
Turtle → green turtle → giant turtle → sea turtle → soup → scary → ghost → something damp → water turtle → water jug → the result of Ganymede and a lonely, magical banana.<br>
He's a so-called idiot.<br>
I'm looking forward to your support in the future.

It doesn't matter whether it's a long song or not.  Just make a turtle-like song.<br/>
=== HES ===
It doesn't matter if the note chart is fun or not.  Just make it an obstacle between the player and the OMES.<br/>
The composer of Ganymede gave me keywords for his song concept, and I created this video by adding mechanical parts.
That was the theme, so I'm satisfied with my own sense of achievement.<br/>
I did it Kametarou did it he really did it I'm so sorry.


I thought about things like BPM or density or come on give me a break already but nowadays there's mods like SUDDEN+ and HS5 that go easy on all the "I love fast songs! I hate slow songs!" kids so I figured I'd make something to rage against that sort of world.<br/>
A sacred beast who once protected the land...<br>
If you have any confidence in your skills, please play this song with no mods.<br/>
Its image is like ancient ruins created with technology which hasn't been discovered yet.<br>
It's nice to play HS0, no mods every once in a while.<br/>
There's a scene where the keyword shows something sinking to the seafloor, and a scene representing the infinite universe.
I don't know if it's a good idea to do that with this song though.

I hope to see you again next time.
