Trivia
- quasar originally had a generic video in beatmania IIDX 9th style, and received a unique video in beatmania IIDX 10th style. This unique video also appears in beatmania IIDX 9th style CS.
- This is somewhat notable considering that sync had a similar series of events.
- In the arcade release of beatmania IIDX 9th style, quasar was part of an infamous bug in which choosing the song occasionally crashed the game. This bug was fixed in future beatmania IIDX arcade releases, and does not appear in the console version of beatmania IIDX 9th style.
- In astrology, quasi-stellar, or quasar for short, is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus which was powered by a supermassive black hole, with mass ranging from millions to tens of billions of times the mass of the Sun, which was surrounded by a gaseous accretion disk.
- quasar was one of the qualifying round songs in the KONAMI Arcade Championship 2013 for beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA.
- quasar has appeared in every Double Play Kaiden course in the arcade beatmania IIDX titles since it was introduced in beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD.
- quasar also appears as one of the background music selectable to play during Accel Rave Time (アクセルレイブタイム) in SEVEN'S BEAT (セブンスビート), a KONAMI medal redemption game.
