• A long version of VEGA, titled VEGA (Extended Mix), appears on the beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK album.

Trivia

• VEGA is the ACT 2 song of the Bokura no Uchuusensou (ぼくらの宇宙戦争) event of beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro.
  • The name of the ACT 2 boss is Vega Rabbit.
    • The Vega Rabbit is the only ぼくらの宇宙戦争 character that isn't shown in the beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK booklet.
• VEGA is REDALiCE's first purely instrumental song in beatmania IIDX.
• According to REDALiCE, VEGA took him three days and nights to complete.
  • He also notes he was surprised by the overlays featuring a "gentleman" instead of something cute, or a girl. Fukutomi WAVE makes note of this in her song comments.
• Vega is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, the fifth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus. This star has been extensively studied by astronomers, leading it to be termed "arguably the next most important star in the sky after the Sun."
• The man in the video of VEGA is called Galactica Gentleman Vega. According to the beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK booklet, he was originally a soldier and became an alien after being infected by a chemical substance from space.
  • His appearance is possibly a parody of Ameto's appearance in Express Emotion and Little Star.
  • Although he appears to be a boss character, he does not actually react to the player's performance; additionally, he appears during two-player games, while proper boss characters don't.
• VEGA was added to DanceDanceRevolution (2013) on January 28th, 2014, as part of the Nettou! BEMANI Stadium (熱闘！BEMANIスタジアム) event.
  • VEGA was the only beatmania IIDX song to be a crossover in another BEMANI series in the entire Nettou! BEMANI Stadium event.
• In DanceDanceRevolution, the video of VEGA appears brighter in the last few seconds.
