Egoism is a philosophical theory that one's self is the motivation and goal for all of one's actions.
- EGOISM 440's title might be a homage to PARANOiA by 180, due to referencing the main BPM of the song, and that egoism and paranoia are both thought processes that have a overly high level of self-importance.
EGOISM 440's Single BEGINNER chart is the fourth BEGINNER chart in the DanceDanceRevolution series rated Level 9, after Fascination ~eternal love mix~, Valkyrie dimension, and osaka EVOLVED -毎度、おおきに!-.
