Overview
1/3の純情な感情 (1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou) was originally released by Japanese rock band SIAM SHADE as their sixth single in 1997 and gained popularity as the sixth ending theme of the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan. The song was later covered by vocalist 湯毛 (Yuge) for inclusion in SEGA's maimai series, debuting in the ORANGE PLUS update on July 16, 2015.
The maimai version is a shortened edit (1:54) of the original, using a different cut from the same audio source as the CHUNITHM version (2:30). Its standard chart set includes four difficulties: Basic (Lv 5), Advanced (Lv 6), Expert (Lv 10) designed by Techno Kitchen, and Master (Lv 12) designed by mai-Star. The Master chart is characterized by dense note patterns and extensive slide sequences. Initially categorized under POPS, the song was reclassified as POPS & ANIME from maimai PiNK onward. When maimai transitioned to the DX series, the song's video was replaced with a static jacket image. The song was delisted from all maimai DX cabinets on March 23, 2023, and was never made available in the Chinese version of the game (舞萌DX). It remains playable in SEGA's CHUNITHM series with a separate chart set and longer audio.
