Trivia

ΕΛΠΙΣ is the 2nd style × 10th style boss song of LEGEND CROSS in beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro.
When ΕΛΠΙΣ is played as a boss stage in LEGEND CROSS, the arcade LED ticker displays "RED BOSS 2" or "RED BOSS 7", depending if you're playing on Old Style x Newer Style or viceversa.
- When played outside of LEGEND CROSS, the arcade LED ticker for ΕΛΠΙΣ displays "ELPIS".
In Greek mythology, Elpis was the personification and spirit of hope. She was depicted as a young woman, usually carrying flowers or a cornucopia in her hands. In Hesiod's Works and Days, Elpis was the last item in Pandora's box.
- Coincidentally, beatmania IIDX 10th style's pandora is one of the songs which is sampled in ΕΛΠΙΣ.
- 59 Elpis is the name of a very large main belt asteroid.
The boss in ΕΛΠΙΣ's overlays appears as a blonde, woman angel.
- The overlays of .59 also depict an angel.
According to dj TAKA's song comments, he chose 2nd and 10th style for ΕΛΠΙΣ's melodies in reference to how beatmania IIDX 2nd style was his first sound directing role in IIDX, and how 10th style was a turning point in the series for him.
ΕΛΠΙΣ marks the debut of Aoni in beatmania IIDX, one of the album art designers of SOUND VOLTEX.
