Trivia

AA's title card.
AA's banner.
  • A common pronunciation of AA among players in Japan is "ダブルエース" (Double-Ace). KONAMI stresses that there is no "official" pronunciation, but notes that "Double-Ace" is a common one among players.
    • Notably, in the SOUND VOLTEX series, AA's remix, AA BlackY mix, has AA rendered as "ダブルエース" for sorting purposes.
  • In the arcade version of beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED, a generic video was used. However, in the CS version, a new video/animation was produced for AA from Visual Emotions 3, which also includes The Hope of Tomorrow, Raspberry♡Heart (English version), and D.A.N.C.E.!.
  • At the time of its release, AA's Single ANOTHER chart had the most notes of any Single Play chart, at 1834 notes. This short-lived record would be toppled by one version later, with 2000 notes.

Song Production Information

D.J.Amuro

The theme of this song is the betrayal of a certain character by his closest, trusted associates, and the moments of his heroic death. It is rather difficult, but I hope you can bring flowers through your spectacular performance.
