Overview
アンドロイドガール (Android Girl) is a Vocaloid pop-rock track by DECO*27 featuring Hatsune Miku, first released as a digital single in 2019 before being added to maimai でらっくす PLUS (maimai DX PLUS) on January 23, 2020 at the version's launch in Japan and Asia. Composed and written by DECO*27 (Kosuke Terayama) and arranged by Rockwell, a frequent collaborator on DECO*27's Vocaloid productions, the song pairs a brisk 192 BPM instrumental with lyrics that use android malfunction as a metaphor for a relationship's emotional decay. The narrator questions their partner's identity ("Who are you now that you've become mine?"), describes love as rotten, and recalls kisses that hurt, all while stuck in a loop of restarting the same love without change. The animated music video was produced by the OTOIRO collective, credited as akka, ろづ希, Yuma Saito, and No.734 a.k.a DMYM.
In maimai, アンドロイドガール is one of the higher-profile Vocaloid additions from the でらっくす PLUS era. Its Master chart, designed by サファ太 (Safata), originally debuted at level 13, a challenging placement that was later revised down to 12+ starting with the Splash version, a notable difficulty adjustment in the DX series. The Expert chart was designed by シチミヘルツ (Shichimi Hertz), another well-known name in maimai charting. Beyond maimai, the track appeared in two other Sega rhythm games: ONGEKI SUMMER PLUS in March 2020 and CHUNITHM PARADISE LOST in May 2021, making it a cross-title Vocaloid staple within the Sega arcade rhythm ecosystem.
