Overview

青空のラプソディ (Aozora no Rhapsody) is a pop-rock piece by the Japanese band fhána, originally written as the opening theme for the 2017 Kyoto Animation anime series Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (小林さんちのメイドラゴン). The track was composed by Jun'ichi Satou, arranged by fhána, and features fhána vocalist towana with lyrics by Hideki Hayashi. It first appeared as a single in 2017 and was later collected on the album of the same name. The song entered the maimai arcade series on January 23, 2020, as part of the maimai でらっくす PLUS (DX PLUS) update under the POPS＆アニメ genre. Running at 135 BPM, the maimai version uses the TV-size edit of the song, lasting 1:29. It offers four DX charts: Basic (Lv2), Advanced (Lv6), Expert (Lv9+), and Master (Lv12). The Expert chart was designed by サファ太 (Safata) and the Master chart by 小鳥遊さん (Takanashi-san), both recurring maimai chart designers. 青空のラプソディ was later retired from the maimai series: it was removed from the Japanese version on September 15, 2022, from Asian versions starting with maimai DX UNiVERSE PLUS, and from the Chinese version with 舞萌DX 2022. The song also appeared earlier in Sega's CHUNITHM series, debuting in CHUNITHM AMAZON.
