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 an 8 since reunion from beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem.
• ra'am will be added to REFLEC BEAT VOLZZA 2 as part of the upcoming Otegaru!! LINK TRACK (おてがる!! LINK TRACK) event with beatmania IIDX 23 copula.
