Trivia[]
- Throughout the entire video of VANESSA, a portrait of "Vanessa de Verdet" is displayed. Depending on the song performance, the portrait portrays certain facial expressions.
- VANESSA was added to Dance Dance Revolution X2 on August 25th, 2010, as the third song in the "Boss Rush X2" course.
- As of December 24th, 2010, VANESSA has been unlocked for normal play.
- Prior to Dance Dance Revolution WORLD, VANESSA's music video is shown in the background of a black-colored variant of the MOVIE background dance stage and is not full-screen.
- Also, the portrait shows the same facial expression, regardless of the player's performance, due to system limitations, much like the video's post-PENDUAL incarnation.
- In Dance Dance Revolution II / hottest party5, though, VANESSA's video removes any on-screen dancers and is played in a tiny monitor on the opposite side of the player on Single and in the center on Double/Versus, due to Nintendo Wii memory limitations.
- VANESSA appears as downloadable content for Dance Dance Revolution S+, in the beatmania IIDX Song Pack3.
- VANESSA is available in Dance Dance Revolution GRAND PRIX's GRAND PRIX mode from May 25th, 2023, by purchasing the GRAND PRIX music pack vol.20 (グランプリ楽曲パック vol.20).

Suzaku[]
There is enough separation between "mental anguish" and normality.
The melody is divided between left and right as if to echo his thoughts full of hypocrisy.
He was seen as a "moralist" but suffered as a "hypocrite." His ultimate fate will be welcome to him!
...Or not!
Video Production Information[]
MAYA[]
Vanessa de Verdet
1794-1844
Earl Vanessa de Verdet.
He was so obsessed with the idea of noble life that he suffered sadly for it.
A portrait called Earl Vanessa portrays the grief that dwells with him.
In 1845, the painting, which had the bottom half burnt during the war, was restored.
Currently, the painting is kept at a particular museum.
There seems to be a strange event, where a burnt ash pile gathers under his portrait.
... or maybe not.
