* Samples from VOX UP were later used in ''BLUE DRAGON (黒龍 Remix)'', a remix of [[BLUE DRAGON]] that can be found on the [[BLUE DRAGON (album)|BLUE DRAGON Exclusive Mixxx]] album.
* A sequel to VOX UP by 青龍×sampling masters MEGA & [[Ayako Saso|sampling masters AYA]], titled [[VOX RUSH]], appears on Seiryu's second album, [[AO-INFINITY|AO-∞]].
** A short version of VOX RUSH is playable in [[CS jb plus|jubeat plus]] and [[AC CANNON BALLERS|beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS]].


* This is the first song from [[Shinji Hosoe|sampling masters mega]] in the IIDX series since [[AC 10th style]].
== Trivia ==
* This is the first CS song from [[Shinji Hosoe|sampling masters mega]] and the first one involving a Cardinal Gate artist. It is also [[Ryutaro Nakahara|Seiryu's]] first collaboration song and the first song by Seiryu that is not under the genre "Dance Speed".
* VOX UP is one of the hidden songs of beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS CS. It can be unlocked via ''MILITARY SPLASH'' by clearing five of the [[CS DJ TROOPERS#MILITARY SPLASH HIDDEN SONGS|conditions listed here]] and obtaining eight medals.
* VOX UP is the first song composed by Shinji Hosoe in the beatmania IIDX series since [[1st Samurai]] in [[AC 10th style|beatmania IIDX 10th style]].
* VOX UP is the only CS beatmania IIDX Shinji Hosoe song and the only CS original song involving a CARDINAL GATE artist.
** It is also Ryutaro Nakahara's first collaboration song under the 青龍 alias, the first song by 青龍 that is not under the genre "DANCE SPEED", and the first 青龍 song that is not 191 BPM.
* "Vox" means "voice" in Latin, and is also used as an abbreviation for "vocals." This may be a reference to the high-pitched vocal samples used throughout VOX UP.
* In beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS CS, VOX UP had the most notes out of all Doubles NORMAL charts in beatmania IIDX, with 1105 notes.
** However, VOX UP received toned down new Single and Doubles NORMAL charts in beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA, with just 754 and 726 notes respectively.
* Sound data for VOX UP can be found in [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]], including its unused song preview.

** As of [[AC PENDUAL|beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL]], it is playable by default.
* In beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS CS, VOX UP's artist was listed as '''sampling masters MEGA vs. 青龍'''.
* The use of cars in VOX UP's video may be a reference to Shinji Hosoe's song "ROTTERDAM NATION(FOO MIX)" from the arcade racing game ''Ridge Racer'', which sounds very similar to VOX UP.
* VOX UP is unlockable in [[CS INFINITAS 2020|beatmania IIDX INFINITAS (2020)]] from April 7th, 2021 after purchasing its charts with [[CS INFINITAS/BIT unlocks|BITs]].

It was amazing how well we kicked off together when we first met to make the collaboration song.

For all the fans of mega, this would be the first song he had made in a while.  100% of the fans would be amazed by this.

In collaborating with mega, we decided to have a BPM with some tension. Not just 200, but 202, since we wanted to add a bit of emotion to the song. The artist title for the song ([[Shinji Hosoe|sampling masters mega]] vs. [[Ryutaro Nakahara|青龍]]) implies that there will be a battle, so we added the vocal samples to make it sound that there were two groups battling each other. In this sense, the theme of "battle" fit well for DJ TROOPERS.
