Song Connections / Remixes

• A rock arrangement of Elemental Creation featuring guitars by good-cool, titled Elemental Creation -GITADO ROCK ver.-, can be found in GITADORA.
• In pop'n music, Elemental Creation is part of the HARD RENAISSANCE series of songs. The other songs in the series are:
  • HARD RENAISSANCE 2, Evans, which appears in pop'n music Sunny Park.
  • HARD RENAISSANCE 3, JOMANDA, which also appears in pop'n music Sunny Park.
  • Despite being produced after Evans and JOMANDA, Elemental Creation is classified as the first in the series because it was added to pop'n music before the other two songs.

• Elemental Creation was first leaked in DanceDanceRevolution (2013) some days before the 私立BEMANI学園 event started due to a bug. It was later fixed by an update.
• Elemental Creation's DanceDanceRevolution CHALLENGE charts were only available on the EXTRA STAGE. As of December 19th, 2013, these charts were made available for everyone to play.
• Elemental Creation is the second collaboration between Takayuki Ishikawa and Yoshitaka Nishimura in BEMANI, after quell ~the seventh slave~.
• Elemental Creation's DanceDanceRevolution charts switch between 106, 212, and 424 BPM, running at 424 BPM for the majority of the song. In all other BEMANI games that it appears in, Elemental Creation's charts run at a constant 212 BPM.
• Elemental Creation holds multiple new notecount records in BEMANI games:
  • In beatmania IIDX, Elemental Creation has the second highest number of notes of any non-LEGGENDARIA Single Player ANOTHER chart, behind Chrono Diver -PENDULUMs-'s 2222 notes.
  • In DanceDanceRevolution, Elemental Creation's charts currently hold the record for the most number of steps on any non-long version song, with:
    • Single BEGINNER: 285 steps, beating Valkyrie dimension's 253 steps.
    • Single BASIC: 438 steps, beating POSSESSION's 389 steps.
    • Single DIFFICULT: 614 steps, beating PARANOiA Revolution's 510 steps.
    • Single EXPERT: 789 steps, beating PARANOiA Revolution's 679 steps.
    • Single CHALLENGE: 860 steps, beating 888 and PARANOiA Revolution's 753 steps.
    • Double BASIC: 427 steps, beating POSSESSION's 379 steps.
    • Double DIFFICULT: 612 steps, beating POSSESSION's 489 steps.
    • Double EXPERT: 751 steps, beating PARANOiA (kskst mix)'s 661 steps.
    • Double CHALLENGE: 832 steps, beating PARANOiA Revolution's 735 steps.
  • In jubeat, Elemental Creation's EXTREME chart is tied with Lisa-RICCIA's EXTREME chart with the record for the fourth highest number of notes of an arcade jubeat chart, beaten by ドーパミン's, V's, and KHAMEN BREAK's 1077, 1044, and 1042 notes, respectively.
  • Elemental Creation's EX chart holds the record with the most number of notes of any ポップンリズミン chart, with 951 notes.
• At the time when Elemental Creation came out, jubeat's bonus score calculation formula couldn't handle a chart with more than 1024 notes (players would need to almost get an all PERFECT or GREAT to get a full bonus score). This makes Elemental Creation's EXTREME chart essentially having the max notecount at that time.
  • This bug could also be seen in Elemental Creation -GITADO ROCK ver.-'s EXTREME chart.
• The statue that can be seen on Elemental Creation's jacket is Tadao, the principal of the 私立BEMANI学園 (whose role is played by Takayuki Ishikawa himself).
  • In pop'n music, Elemental Creation's MZD has a moustache, referencing Tadao.
• Despite that MZD has a new design, none of the 私立BEMANI学園 songs have new comments on the pop'n music Sunny Park MUSIC&CHARACTERS page.
• Elemental Creation received a BEGINNER chart in beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL.
