  • THE CUBE's Single ANOTHER chart has no scratches, being one of the very few beatmania IIDX charts on Single ANOTHER that does not.
  • THE CUBE marks the last consecutive appearance of Keiichi Ueno from the beginning of beatmania IIDX, being the only artist who wrote new songs for every installment (even beatmania IIDX substream) up to that point. He would not appear again in beatmania IIDX for over 3 years.
  • According to VJ GYO, THE CUBE was the very first song completed and put into beatmania IIDX 5th style.
