A long version of this song appeared on the CARDINAL GATE conclusion CD (on CS DistorteD's Special edition) along with Contract, waxing and wanding, Kachoufusetsu, and Nageki no Ki.

In William Shakespeare's play As You Like It, the character Rosalind disguises herself as a deceitful boy named Ganymede. The song's odd speed (plus its changes) and its deceitful note chart may be an homage to the play.
This version of the Cardinal Gate songs is the slowest of the four beasts.
This song features a green colored skin.
Genbu is believed to be Wac's alias. Perhaps the most apparent evidence for this is Wac's very distinctive energetic, longwinded writing style being used in the song notes on Konami's web site, as well as the song name (sharing the name of a moon of Jupiter) following Wac's series of songs named after astronomical bodies. CARDINAL GATE conclusion (the CD that comes with the special edition of IIDX DistorteD CS) proved this by crediting him as composer.
The video features a green Armored Core style robot-like character as the embodiment of Genbu.
In greek mythology Ganymede was the most beautiful man who ever lived, the god Zeus kidnaps him with very large birds and he lives out his life in Olympus.
