Overview

アマツキツネ (Amatsu Kitsune) is an original VOCALOID song by pianist and composer marasy (まらしぃ), featuring the voice of Kagamine Rin. The track tells the story of a fox transforming into a shooting star, a concept rooted in Japanese folk etymology, where shooting stars were historically called amatsukitsune (天狗, "heavenly fox"). Originally released on the 2012 compilation album V♥25 -Desire-, the song carries a melancholic, driving energy at 190 BPM, with lyrics that shift between hope and sorrow as the fox races across the night sky toward a distant beloved. The song first entered SEGA's rhythm game ecosystem through CHUNITHM STAR in February 2018, then arrived in maimai DX (でらっくす) on September 20, 2019. It was initially unlockable through the Project DIVA collaboration area, requiring players to accumulate 10 m of travel distance within that area. By November 2019 it became permanently available by default in all regions. In maimai, アマツキツネ is the first solo marasy track in the series, his earlier contributions to the game were the collaborative pieces MYTHOS (with Cranky and Teppei Sensei) and 相思創愛 (with 伊東歌詞太郎 and ron). The MASTER chart, designed by はっぴー, sits at level 11+ and is known for brisk slide patterns at speed, while the EXPERT chart by Jack offers a demanding level 9 arrangement that tests rhythm stamina.

Trivia

The title アマツキツネ combines 'ama' (heaven) and 'kitsune' (fox). In Japanese tradition, shooting stars were once called amatsukitsune (天狗), directly inspiring the song's theme of a fox becoming a shooting star.
アマツキツネ is marasy's first solo song in the maimai series. His prior maimai appearances were collaborations: MYTHOS (with Cranky and Teppei Sensei) and 相思創愛 (with 伊東歌詞太郎 and ron).
The song predates its maimai appearance by seven years, debuting on the VOCALOID compilation album V♥25 -Desire- in 2012.
アマツキツネ first appeared in a rhythm game in CHUNITHM STAR on February 8, 2018, roughly a year and a half before its maimai release.
