Trivia
- In the DanceDanceRevolution series, bag's BPM is intentionally set at 65 (half of what it is supposed to be). This results in the steps of the game very cluttered and difficult to read.
- bag's halved BPM, along with the hard to time chart due to DanceDanceRevolution's old engine which didn't have proper 12th/24th/48th notes, were probably the reasons as to why bag's EXPERT chart was rated Level 10. bag's charts were fixed in DanceDanceRevolution X, with a proper note quantization.
- However, bag's old, unfixed EXPERT chart was added again as a CHALLENGE chart in DanceDanceRevolution X2.
- bag's halved BPM, along with the hard to time chart due to DanceDanceRevolution's old engine which didn't have proper 12th/24th/48th notes, were probably the reasons as to why bag's EXPERT chart was rated Level 10. bag's charts were fixed in DanceDanceRevolution X, with a proper note quantization.
- bag received a Double BEGINNER chart in DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX3.
- After being removed in beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS, bag was revived in the Lincle Kingdom unlock system in beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle, obtainable upon reaching Level 16.

Song Production Information
NAOKI MAEDA
Following up on 桜 comes this new tune from Reven-G. I was taken in by the charm of traditional Japanese music while I stayed in Japan. But as I went on my journey around the world once again, this time I went with the bagpipe for my newest song, which is a traditional musical instrument of Europe. The very low BPM speed complements the traditional type of Reven-G music one often associates it with, with a digital beat intertwining the song. To tell you the truth, while the music is often called traditional folk music, it has become one of the cornerstones of present-day music. I secretly used this opportunity for you to receive a musical lesson, courtesy of Reven-G.
