Trivia

  • RUGGED ASH did not appear in any home version of beatmania IIDX until beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD CS.
  • RUGGED ASH is one of the only four songs from the original beatmania series still in the arcade beatmania IIDX games, along with deep in you, GENOM SCREAMS, and GUILTY.
  • RUGGED ASH received brand-new Single/Double ANOTHER charts in beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD CS. These charts were added to the arcade series in beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS.
  • RUGGED ASH received a Double HEAVY chart in DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution-. However, it's the same chart as its Double STANDARD chart.
  • RUGGED ASH's background videos in DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution- are direct rips of ON THE JAZZ's background videos from DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution 6thMIX-. This includes positions where the videos change from one another with the exception of a few videos missing near the end. This is due to the fact that RUGGED ASH's chart is 3 measures shorter than ON THE JAZZ's chart.
