- As of DanceDanceRevolution A20, it is available by default.
Despite that First Time's BPM is shown as 70-140, its maximum BPM reaches 560.
First Time is Daisuke Kurosawa's final original song in BEMANI, as well as his first song to appear in a BEMANI game since his departure from KONAMI.
- According to Daisuke, First Time was made two years before its actual debut in DanceDanceRevolution A, back when he was still an in-house composer [1].
  - First Time's jacket does not contain the "BEMANI Sound Team" branding, as the jacket was likely made before October 2017, when songs started being credited to BEMANI Sound Team.
First Time marks Daisuke Kurosawa's first and only use of his Metal Stepper alias in BEMANI.
First Time's difficulty changes from DanceDanceRevolution A20 were applied to DanceDanceRevolution A on March 27th, 2019.
