Overview
アリサのテーマ (Arisa's Theme) is a melodic game-variety track composed by Yoshihiro Ike (池頼広), the prolific composer known for his work on anime such as Tiger & Bunny, Eureka Seven, and Rurouni Kenshin, as well as numerous video game scores. The song serves as the background music for the Fairy Forest area in Shadowverse, Cygames' popular digital collectible card game, where it accompanies the Forestcraft class leader Arisa. Arriving in maimai FiNALE on April 11, 2019, the track was later removed from the series on March 24, 2022, making it a time-limited piece of the maimai catalog. As a STANDARD-format song (predating the DX chart system), it offers four difficulties. The MASTER chart, designed by はっぴー (Happy), stands out for its extreme Slide-note emphasis, 229 Slides out of 461 total notes and zero Hold notes, creating a flowing, connection-based pattern that is distinctive even among Slide-focused charts. The EXPERT chart was designed by 小鳥遊さん (Takanashi-san), while Basic and Advanced were handled by the default charting team.
