Trivia

• "QQQ" is pronounced "san-kyuu" (literally, "3-Q") in Japanese. This is the same as the Japanese pronunciation of "thank you", hence the pun at the end of TaQ's production notes.
• At the time of its release, QQQ held the record for the most notes of any Double NORMAL chart in beatmania IIDX, with 1016 notes, becoming the first NORMAL chart to pass 1000 notes, and currently has the most notes of any arcade original Double NORMAL beatmania IIDX song.
  • QQQ's note record was not beaten for five years before it was finally beaten by Scripted Connection⇒ A's Double NORMAL chart from beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY CS, which has 1079 notes; the latter song was then beaten by VOX UP's original Double NORMAL chart in beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS CS's 1105 notes.
• QQQ's Double NORMAL chart is one of only two NORMAL charts in beatmania IIDX to be rated 10, along with gigadelic's Double NORMAL chart.
• QQQ received a different BEGINNER chart in beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD CS, replacing the old one.

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

I think this is also a track where TaQ discovered his new self.
When creating an original song, the direction is usually discussed between the composer and director, but perhaps TaQ's track seems to have the most pronounced color.

TaQ

"Just being serious isn't art, you sometimes need to be silly.

People roll about with laughter and wolves howl. The beat goes crazy.
A silly song for a silly song title.
However, there's nothing more dreadful than simply explaining a gag.

To everyone who has supported me over the past two years, QQQ!"

Video Production Information
