-Some vocal samples can be heard.
+None.
 == Song Connections / Remixes ==
-None.
+* Small Waves' rap originates from ''Female Rap 2'', a vocal track found on the sample CD ''Climax 9 Rapsody (vocal II)'' by Masterbits.
+** Other segments of this track are used in [[LET THEM MOVE]], from [[AC DDR 2nd|DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX]], [[CELEBRATE NITE]], from [[AC DS TRUE KiSS DESTiNATiON|Dancing Stage featuring TRUE KiSS DESTiNATiON]], and [[Try 2 Luv. U]], from [[CS DDRMAX2 NA|DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution-]].
 == Trivia ==
-* "Small Waves" is the literal English translation of KONAMI.
+* "Small Waves" is the English translation of the Japanese "小波", which is read as "KONAMI".
 ** In addition, Small Waves's 7KEYS chart has a max combo of 573, a reference to the KONAMI number.
 == Song Production Information ==
-Untranslated.
+=== dj TAKA ===
+The song title's origin is "a gathering of small waveforms" as an analogy for beatmania gameplay. However, there's another meaning that's not related to the song's contents (Is there also a hint in the number of notes used?).<br>
+I combined two separate house tracks with a crossfader in order to create the atmosphere of a DJ game, ranging from hardware to music. I'd be happy if you can identify in which part the song completely changes at.
 == Video Production Information ==
-Untranslated.
+=== VJ GYO ===
+I personally really like the song's latter-half.<br>
+I was hooked on club music when I heard it for the first time, and it was this song's groove which attracted me to the genre.<br>
+Having said that, when I returned home and listened to those songs from that era, I strangely felt sad to find that they sounded very old or dull...<br>
+This genre really makes you feel like your age, doesn't it?<br>
+Since it's electronic music, maybe it signifies the evolution of the equipment used? I'm not quite sure.<br>
+Anyways, it's strange that this groove has re-emerged despite the latest sounds being used.<br>
+As expected of dj TAKA, it's a fine song.
 == Difficulty & Notecounts ==
-beatmania IIDX to 10th style difficulty rated from 1 to 7+ (up to 9th style) or 8 (10th style).
+beatmania IIDX to 10th style difficulty rated from 1 to 7 in 4th style, and from 1 to 7+ from 5th through 7th style.
