Trivia

This song has different backgrounds, banners, jackets, or other related images. For more information, please see this page.

• In the DanceDanceRevolution series, bag's BPM is intentionally set at 65 (half of what it is supposed to be). This results in the notes of the song being very cluttered and difficult to read.
  • bag's halved BPM, along with the hard to time chart due to DanceDanceRevolution's old engine which didn't have proper 12th/24th/48th notes, were probably the reasons as to why bag's EXPERT charts were rated Level 10 (on the 1-10 scale). bag's charts were fixed in DanceDanceRevolution X, with proper note quantizations.
    • However, bag's old, unfixed EXPERT charts were added again as CHALLENGE charts in DanceDanceRevolution X2. These are unlockable by reaching ENJOY LEVEL 120.
      • As of February 23rd, 2011, these charts have been unlocked for normal play.
• bag received a Double BEGINNER chart in DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX3.
• In the beatmania IIDX series, bag's artist is shown as Reven-G.
• After being removed in beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS, bag was revived in the Lincle Kingdom unlock system in beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle, obtainable upon reaching Level 16.
  • It received brand-new ANOTHER charts upon its revival.
• bag appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the DDR EXTREME Pack 4.
• In DanceDanceRevolution (2013), bag received a unique video on July 30th, 2013, based on its background animations from DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME. This video is played full-screen and eliminates any on-screen dancers.
  • Its original EXTREME video is shown when bag is played from the DDR SELECTION folder.
• bag is unlockable in beatmania IIDX INFINITAS from October 3rd, 2018, after purchasing its NORMAL, HYPER, and ANOTHER charts with BITs.

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

Reven-G

Following up on 桜 comes this new tune from Reven-G. I was taken in by the charm of traditional Japanese music while I stayed in Japan. But as I went on my journey around the world once again, this time I went with the bagpipe for my newest song, which is a traditional musical instrument of Europe. The very low BPM speed complements the traditional type of Reven-G music one often associates it with, with a digital beat intertwining the song. To tell you the truth, while the music is often called traditional folk music, it has become one of the cornerstones of present-day music. I secretly used this opportunity for you to receive a musical lesson, courtesy of Reven-G.

NAOKI MAEDA

RevenG stayed in Japan for a long time, producing a mixture of sounds with the latest technology under the theme of traditional Japanese music, but now he has left for Europe. The musical instrument he found there is the bagpipe, which is referenced in the song title. Through trial-and-error, the completed song and chart idea were born from the voices of users.

I created this picture after RevenG explained the image and background process of the song's production. It seems the song title "bag" doesn't only mean bagpipe!?

The characters which appear in the movie were also created from the basis of RevenG's image. They appeared in 2D during the location test, but I attempted to make them transform into 3D. I tried to use the image of a certain adventure animation "Tom ○ya", through focusing on the style of walking. I made it in the style of an old-fashioned skit using a set of papier-mâché horses and people. Did anyone notice it?
