Overview

Arrival of Tears is a pop rock theme song by Japanese singer 彩音 (Ayane), featured as the opening of the 2009 anime adaptation of 11eyes. Composed by the prolific rhythm-game musician Tatsh (Tatsuya Shimizu), the track drives at a brisk 200 BPM, notably fast for a vocal anime theme, and belongs to a loose trilogy of Ayane songs whose titles end in "Tears…", alongside Lunatic Tears… and Endless Tears…. The song entered maimai as part of the MiLK PLUS update on September 4, 2018, arriving alongside two other Tatsh-composed tracks (CYBER Sparks and Xevel). Its in-game tenure was relatively brief: Arrival of Tears was removed from all versions of the game on March 18, 2021, and was also dropped from the Chinese 舞萌DX 2021 revision. The jacket art used in-game reproduces the cover of Ayane's third album Lyricallya Candles (2010), which collects this track alongside her other work. On the charts side, the Expert layout was designed by 華火職人 (Kanon Oguni) and the Master chart by Jack, both delivering dense note patterns befitting the song's relentless tempo.

Trivia

Arrival of Tears was used as the opening theme of the 2009 anime adaptation of 11eyes, which aired from October to December on Chiba TV and other independent UHF stations.
The song is the third installment in the "Tears series" trilogy performed by Ayane, following Lunatic Tears… and Endless Tears….
The original 11eyes visual novel, 11eyes -罪と罰と贖いの少女- (Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shoujo), was released by Lass on April 25, 2008 as an adult game, and the anime adaptation diverges substantially from its storyline.
Although the in-game credit lists only 彩音 (Ayane) as the artist, the music was composed and arranged by Tatsh (Tatsuya Shimizu), who also wrote two other maimai MiLK PLUS additions: CYBER Sparks and Xevel.
The maimai jacket is taken directly from the cover of Ayane's third studio album Lyricallya Candles, released in 2010.
Ahead of the anime's broadcast, music news site MyNavi published an interview with Ayane discussing this song and its role as the opening theme.
Arrival of Tears was removed from maimai entirely on March 18, 2021, roughly two and a half years after its debut, a relatively short lifespan compared to most standard-pool songs.
In Asian English-language versions of maimai, the artist field reads "Ayane" instead of the original Japanese 彩音.
The song was also removed from Chinese cabinets starting with the 舞萌DX 2021 update.
