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.
- 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 BEGINNER chart in beatmania IIDX 5th style CS, and a Single ANOTHER chart in beatmania IIDX 7th style CS. While the Single ANOTHER chart was carried to the arcades in beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY, the BEGINNER chart has never appeared on an arcade beatmania IIDX release.
- QQQ received a different BEGINNER chart in beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD CS.
Song Production Information
dj TAKA
I feel this is a track where TaQ tries to discover a new sense of self. Normally, a direction is created in an original composition through conference between the director and composer. However, I'm not sure that sort of is what comes through in TaQ's work this time.
TaQ
"Diligence is not an accomplishment of its own; every once in a while you have to goof off. People roll around in laughter, wolves howl. Rhythms go mad and lose their order. A silly song deserves a silly title. But there is nothing more brutal than explaining a joke. To everyone who has supported me for the last two years, QQQ!"
Video Production Information
None.
