Song Connections / Remixes

• A portion of bag is featured in pop'n music 10's DDR MEGAMIX.

Trivia

• In the Dance Dance Revolution series, bag's BPM is intentionally set at 65 (half of what it is supposed to be). This results in the notes of the song being very cluttered and difficult to read.
  • bag's halved BPM, along with the hard to time chart due to Dance Dance Revolution's old engine which didn't have proper 12th/24th/48th notes, were probably the reasons as to why bag's EXPERT charts were rated Level 10 (on the 1-10 scale). bag's charts were fixed in Dance Dance Revolution X, with proper note quantizations.
    • However, bag's old, unfixed EXPERT charts were added again as CHALLENGE charts in Dance Dance Revolution X2. These are unlockable by reaching ENJOY LEVEL 120.
      • As of February 23rd, 2011, these charts have been unlocked for normal play.
• bag received a Double BEGINNER chart in Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3.
• bag appears as downloadable content for Dance Dance Revolution S+, in the DDR EXTREME Pack 4.
• In Dance Dance Revolution (2013), bag received a unique video on July 30th, 2013, based on its background animations from Dance Dance Revolution EXTREME. This video eliminates any on-screen dancers prior to Dance Dance Revolution WORLD.
  • Its original EXTREME video is shown when bag is played from the DDR SELECTION folder.

Dance Dance Revolution EXTREME Weekly Journal

NAOKI MAEDA

RevenG stayed in Japan for a long time, producing a mixture of sounds with the latest technology under the theme of traditional Japanese music, but now he has left for Europe. The musical instrument he found there is the bagpipe, which is referenced in the song title. Through trial-and-error, the completed song and chart idea were born from the voices of users.

I made this picture after RevenG explained the image and background process of the song's production. It seems the song title "bag" doesn't only mean bagpipes!?

The characters which appear in the movie were also created based on RevenG's image. They appeared in 2D during the location test, but I tried to make them 3D later. I tried to made them walk in a way that reminded me of a certain adventure cartoon named "Tom ○○○yer". I made it in the style of an old-fashioned skit using a set of papier-mâché horses and people. Did anyone notice it?
