Trivia

 
Bulluvegola's Lincle Kingdom title card.
  • In the Blackest Den is one of the boss songs of the first phase of the Lincle Kingdom event of beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle.
  • The name Bulluvegola is a variation of Belphegor, one of the seven princes of Hell, representing Sloth.
    • Bulluvegola appears as a set of three rotating disks. Unlike their appearance in the booklet of the beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK, they are all of the same color.
      • When you miss a note, the three disks will unite into a single golden disk, subsequently creating a huge blast of energy.
      • If you fail to Normal Clear In the Blackest Den, the three disks will gradually fade away.
      • During the animation, a text is seen floating around. It says: Bulluvegola - Existence that rules "Laziness Sloth". - The crimes of dirty-minded is ruled. - Does the happy union exist really? - Unpleasantness. - There might not be happy union...
  • When In the Blackest Den is played as a boss stage in Lincle Kingdom, the arcade LED ticker displays "<SLOTH>BULLUVEGOLA<ACEDIA>".
  • In the Blackest Den is one of only two Lincle Kingdom boss songs whose ANOTHER charts are not rated Level 12 (the other being Scharfrichter).
  • On Bulluvegola's glyph, it is possible to read "Belphegor", which is written with a very small font at the side of the glyph.

The realm thou have wandered into is the lair of the jet-black darkened demon.
No one shall be allowed to return back alive.

BLACK ALBUM Liner Notes

96

This is an instrumental song I made for IIDX. At the time it was released, the artist wasn't credited as 96, so many of you may have not known about who made this song. I created it with the intent of mimicking the music of a RPG boss. I originally wanted to make a song featuring pianos, so I asked a friend to play the piano. We came up with a lot of ideas together, so I was able to incorporate various lines that I normally wouldn't have been able to come up with on my own. Furthermore, I added a piano solo section to the album version of this song.

Video Production Information

When I was racking my brains about what kind of animation to make, I thought, "why not have a boss that is not a character!?"
And with that statement, I started working on it.

From there, I wanted a gothic style scene that looked as if you were lost into a mysterious world, and with a dignified appearance because the person who arrived there was the one to fight...
Those elements were becoming more and more solidified.

The solemn image of stained glass windows in the world of Gothic architecture.

Bulluvegola stands facing each other, shining with various lights.
I hope you can feel the battle in a different dimension.
