Trivia
- "QQQ" is pronounced "san-kyuu" (literally, "3-Q") in Japanese. This is the same as the Japanese pronunciation of "thank you", hence the pun at the end of TaQ's production notes.
- At the time of its release, QQQ held the record for the most notes of any Double NORMAL chart in beatmania IIDX, with 1016 notes, becoming the first NORMAL chart to pass 1000 notes, and currently has the most notes of any arcade original Double NORMAL beatmania IIDX song.
- QQQ's note record was not beaten for five years before it was finally beaten by Scripted Connection⇒ A's Double NORMAL chart from beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY CS, which has 1079 notes; the latter song was then beaten by VOX UP's original Double NORMAL chart in beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS CS's 1105 notes.
- QQQ's Double NORMAL chart is one of only two NORMAL charts in beatmania IIDX to be rated 10, along with gigadelic's Double NORMAL chart.
- QQQ received a different BEGINNER chart in beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD CS, replacing the old one.
- QQQ is unlockable in beatmania IIDX INFINITAS (2020) from January 10th, 2024 after purchasing its charts with BITs.
Song Production Information
dj TAKA
I think this is a track where TaQ discovered his new self.
When creating an original song, the direction is usually discussed between the composer and director, but perhaps TaQ's track seems to have the most pronounced color.
TaQ
People will laugh and wolves will howl. The beat goes crazy.
A silly song with a silly song title.
However, there's nothing more dreadful than simply explaining a gag.
Video Production Information
None.
