As it was the case with the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE songs since beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY, the LED marquee displays a different message when 卑弥呼 is played as ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE: "WELCOME TO MY CONTRY 'YAMATAIKOKU'".
With 2119 notes, 卑弥呼 has the second highest number of notes of any Single Player ANOTHER chart, behind Elemental Creation's 2130 notes.
卑弥呼's genre, ESOTERIC SPEEDCORE, is a play on Ganymede's genre, ESOTERIC SLOWCORE.
Like every 朱雀 song, 卑弥呼 also has the characteristic 朱雀 loud guitar sound.
卑弥呼 is the first song under the 朱雀 alias that is not linked to the story of Vanessa de Verdet since CONTRACT.
The comments of videos featuring 卑弥呼 was considered an inside joke.
卑弥呼 received Single and Doubles Black ANOTHER charts in beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST.
According to the game files, the name of the golden creature appearing in the overlays is Orochi. In Japanese mythology, Orochi is a 8-headed and 8-tailed dragon slain by the Shinto god Susanoo.
