Trivia

• ra'am marks Ryutaro Nakahara's first use of his Rairyu alias in BEMANI since Thunderbolt.
• "Raam" is Hebrew for "thunder".
  • Coincidentally, one of the songs from 青龍's album BLUE DRAGON is called Ramiel, a name of a Hebrew angel that derives from the word "raam" itself.
• ra'am is the boss song of the MAP 1 of the Qprogue event of beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA.
• The boss in ra'am's overlays is introduced as 鳥獣の魔女 Faula - Wicked Witch of the Wildlife. She appears as a young witch flying with a broom, surrounded by bats.
  • When you miss a note, she creates a huge red eye and attacks the Q-pro avatar with several vertical beams.
• ra'am is the first beatmania IIDX song with boss overlays that uses a default generic video.
• According to Fukutomi WAVE, she designed the character Faula for ra'am to purposely throw people off who were expecting an old man or a witch for a character in the overlays.
• After being re-rated in beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL, ra'am's Single Player NORMAL chart is the first one rated Level 8 since reunion from beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem.
• ra'am could be unlocked in REFLEC BEAT VOLZZA 2 from March 25th to August 31st, 2016 as part of the Otegaru!! LINK TRACK (おてがる！！LINK TRACK) event with beatmania IIDX 23 copula. It could be unlocked by clearing the Fresh Cream Station (生クリーム駅) in beatmania IIDX 23 copula's STEP UP mode.
