Overview

7thSense marks composer 削除 (Sakuzyo)'s debut original contribution to the SEGA rhythm game ecosystem, first appearing in maimai PiNK as a Challenge Track in February 2016. A member of the DiverseSystem circle, Sakuzyo had already made a name for himself in the BMS doujin scene with tracks such as "AXION" and "Altale" before bringing his signature brand of melodic, high-energy electronic music to maimai. True to its title, 7thSense is built around a 7/4 time signature, an uncommon meter in rhythm-game music that gives the song its driving, slightly off-kilter momentum. Short passages shift into 5/4 and 3/4, further destabilizing the rhythmic foundation. The interlude quotes the melody of Sakuzyo's earlier BMS piece "AXION," drawing a direct musical line between his doujin-era work and his arcade debut. The official music video was produced by the visual artist HDLV. The song's MASTER chart, designed by ロシェ@ペンギン (Rocher@penguin), leans into the number 7 motif with exactly 77 Break notes and a characteristic 5-3-3-3-6 rotation pattern in its latter half. An extended version appears on Sakuzyo's album "reAdvent" (released at Comiket 92), and a thematic sequel titled "7 Wonders" was later added to maimai DX CiRCLE as part of the KING of Performai The 7th event. Beyond maimai, 7thSense appears in CHUNITHM VERSE, オンゲキ, and the independent rhythm game Arcaea, cementing its status as one of Sakuzyo's most widely circulated compositions.
