Song Connections / Remixes

Trivia
- This song has different backgrounds, banners, jackets, or other related images. For more information, please see this page.
- Macho Gang and gentle stress both mark Keiichi Ueno's first original compositions in the DanceDanceRevolution series.
- Part of Macho Gang's video was changed around the time beatmania IIDX 3rd style came out. A drawing of a man saluting to his superior was replaced with Mari-chan checking on a boiling pot. (Mari-chan also appeared in several other 3rd style videos, most notably THE SAFARI and Beat Machine, as well on the beatmania 3rdMIX song Believe again (HYPER MEGA MIX).)
- At the time of its debut, Macho Gang held the record for the highest number of notes for a beatmania IIDX chart on both Single and Double, with 837 and 846 notes respectively, the latter the highest notecount at the time for any beatmania IIDX chart.
- While Macho Gang's Double record was beaten just one game later with S.O.S.'s 911 notes on 14KEY, its Single chart held the record until beatmania IIDX 3rd style, where it was beaten by (funnily enough) S.O.S. remix S.O.S.(THE TIGER TOOK MY FAMILY)'s 954 notes on 7KEY.
- Macho Gang received LIGHT charts in beatmania IIDX 3rd style.
- Macho Gang is the only one of the three new songs made for beatmania IIDX substream that never appeared in beatmania or beatmania III.
- Macho Gang received BEGINNER charts and a new Double BASIC chart in DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX2. The previous Double BASIC and Double STANDARD charts were moved to Double STANDARD and Double EXPERT, respectively.
- Macho Gang also appears as one of the background music selectable to play during Accel Rave Time (アクセルレイブタイム) in SEVEN'S BEAT (セブンスビート), a KONAMI medal redemption game.
Song Production Information
Light percussion created by tam-tams, whistles, drums, and distinctive voice samples are performed, which effectively launched into a unique house number with a Latin approach on top of house beats.
Even though there isn't a melody-like melody and bass at all, its production is impressive as expected. This song appeared in BeatmaniaIIDXsubstream.
