The character for one of the [[AC_Lincle|beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle]] Deadly Sins songs is Rche, an angel of ambiguous gender. Despite Rche's feminine looks, Rche is strongly speculated to be male, due to the male symbol tattoo on the chest, pushing Rche into potential "otoko no ko" (Japanese slang for a crossdressing boy) status. Furthermore, supplemental material regarding the Lincle Kingdom characters tend to censor out Rche's gender, as a way of teasing fans. | The character for one of the [[AC_Lincle|beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle]] Deadly Sins songs is Rche, an angel of ambiguous gender.

Despite having first appeared as a remix, the original FLOWER was later added to [[AC SDVX III|SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS]] on October 8th, 2015 as part of the [[Tenkaichi otogesai|第二回 天下一音ゲ祭]] (Dai ni kai Tenkaichi otogesai) event. | ||

Perhaps due to the song's popularity, the contract allowing it to appear in SOUND VOLTEX was removed in order for the artist, NOMA, to have direct control over the song.

== Milquetoast 19 == | |||
The term "milquetoast 19" originated in comment from a YouTube video showing [[Jucunda Memoria]]'s Single EXPERT chart from DanceDanceRevolution in August 6th, 2021. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlghl7uC4bU] | |||
Due to the patterns being considered to be excessively difficult for a chart rated Level 17, user Baby-Lon described in the comments section that the chart is "either a broken 18 or an [sic] milquetoast 19 at best". Users all over Twitter have gone to referring to the said Jucunda Memoria chart as a "milquetoast 19" mainly due to the rare usage of the word "milquetoast" in everyday context. | |||

[[Image:Daisuke_Music_Video.jpg|thumb|The "Turn off the bath heater, quickly!" posture from the video.]] | |||
==== Vine bombing ==== | |||
Daisuke is a song by [[Tetsuya Tamura|Y&Co.]] in which video is featured an on-screen dancer called Daisuke, commonly refered as [[Dai.]] or Dai-chan. The choreography raised in popularity and Daisuke would go on to appear on more videos. | |||
The Japanese Vine community had adopted a form of Vine bombing, similar to the "Unexpected John Cena" meme by replacing any phrase on short videos that starts with "Dai" to a portion of the song's background video completing the "Suke". | |||
==== Meme pic ==== | |||
The posture at approximately 1:07 in the video has been dubbed "快把浴霸关上！"("Turn off the bath heater, quickly!") and used as a meme pic among Chinese players, as it looks like someone who can't stand the bright light from the bath heater and shields his eyes from it. | |||
Aside from performing on BEMANI videos and live acts, Daisuke also is a recurrent lyricist in BEMANI as well as one of the choreograpy designers for [[AC DanEvo|DanceEvolution ARCADE]] alongside [[Yossy]]. | |||
=== [[Elemental Creation]] === | |||
[[Image:Shao da yinyou duo dushu.png|thumb]] | |||
The jacket of Elemental Creation has been dubbed "少打音游多读书" ("Play music games less and study harder") and used as a meme pic among Chinese players. | |||
=== [[Battleground]] === | |||
Among the Chinese community, Battleground is referred to as "老子炸了KONAMI" ("I blew up KONAMI") referring to its video, which at one point features a figure running away from an explosion. | |||
