Trivia

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

• In the early drummania games, Waza's title was capitalized as WAZA.
• In the original drummania, Waza had a different video, which showed a drummer with sunglasses instead of the chess pieces shown on the later video.
• Despite that Waza actually runs at 130 BPM, Waza's BPM has pratically always been shown as 117 in the DrumMania series.
  • In drummania 2ndMIX and drummania 3rdMIX, Waza's BPM was (also incorrectly) displayed as 140.
• Waza, Across the nightmare, Depend on me, and JET WORLD are the only four songs to have been in every DrumMania arcade installment until V8.
  • Unlike the other three songs, though, Waza has yet to appear in the XG/GITADORA series.
• Waza was added to pop'n music 10 on December 17th, 2003 via ee'MALL 2nd avenue.
• Waza's ADVANCED and EXTREME charts were moved down to BASIC and ADVANCED respectively in DrumMania V4 Яock×Rock.
  • Also in DrumMania V4 Яock×Rock, Waza received a brand-new EXTREME chart, starting at Extra Level 12 by clearing Timepiece phase II as LEGEND STAGE. This chart was automatically made available in DrumMania V5 Rock to Infinity.
    • Incidentally, Jimmy Weckl wrote on his liner notes for Waza that he originally wanted to do a harder chart for Waza.
• Before pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE, Waza's songwheel genre was Waza.
• Waza has never been on a CS pop'n music release.
• Waza was one of the possible choices of BEMANI transplants for fans to vote in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME's development. The other candidates were Across the nightmare, Cat Song ～Theme of UPA, DJ BATTLE, FLOWERS for ALBION, Morning Music, THE SAFARI, Threshold Lebel, and WITHOUT YOU AROUND [1].
