* In the video and song production information for [[Happy Wedding]], both [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] and [[Goli Matsumoto|GOLI]] note that one of the beatmania IIDX male VJs got married at the time, but they don't mention whom. Given that Yuji stepped down from the main visual staff after [[AC 6th style|6th style]] (later games only credit him as "special thanks"), didn't do any song videos in [[AC 7th style|7th style]], only did a single video in [[AC 8th style|8th style]], and left BEMANI altogether after [[AC 9th style|9th style]], it's speculated to be him.

** TAKA's song comments also note Happy Wedding's original name was '''HAPPY WEDDING ○○○!''', leaving three letters for a VJ's name, further suggesting it was Yuji, whose VJ name is VJ YUZ [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507131351fw_/http://www.konami.jp/am/bm2dx/bm2dx7/songs_happy.html].
