Trivia

  • THE SAFARI marks Takayuki Ishikawa's first use of his Lion Musashi alias.
  • THE SAFARI's Single HYPER chart has been the FINAL STAGE of every single beatmania IIDX arcade Single 7th Dan course ever since the introduction of Dani'nintei mode in beatmania IIDX 7th style, and still has this status as of beatmania IIDX 24 SINOBUZ.
    • Its infamous difficulty relative to the rest of the course is an inside joke.
  • THE SAFARI was one of the possible choices of BEMANI transplants for fans to vote in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME's development.
  • THE SAFARI's overlays were removed from the beatmania IIDX arcade games as of beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro due to technical issues.
  • THE SAFARI was added to beatmania IIDX INFINITAS as part of the January 2016 Monthly Distribution.
    • On May 18th, 2016, it became unlockable through the Akashic Explore event for players who did not already have it.

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

They say Lion Musashi shook the Daibako scene with rave as an old friend of tiger YAMATO's, but it looks like he's an accomplished house tracker nowadays who does some DJ work in western Azabu.
I got some comments from him today.

Lion Musashi

"Thank you, everyone.
Oh, everyone keeps saying, "Safari, Safari", but my song is called "THE Safari", so say it right, please.
GRR!"

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Apparently, Lion Musashi came to dj TAKA and said, "You guys should pick the song name". Somehow it fell into my hands.
According to dj TAKA, Mr. Lion is kind of a scary guy, so even if he says we can pick the name, what will happen if he doesn't like it ... ?
That's the kind of thing I worried about, since I had no real relation to him ...

It has a pretty cheery rhythm, and feels kind of like a song for a trip down south and evoked the image of a long journey, so I thought "THE SAFARI", which has kind of a deep ring to it, fit it pretty nicely. From the sounds of the comments above, it seems he really likes it too - I'm glad!

It'd be nice if dj TAKA said "thanks", though.
