All songs

Overview

Baqeela (パギーラ) is an instrumental track by owl＊tree, the alias of composer Kennosuke Ono, that first appeared in SEGA's オンゲキ SUMMER before crossing over into maimai でらっくす BUDDiES PLUS as part of the ONGEKI & CHUNITHM genre lineup. The composer coined the portmanteau "owl＊samba" to describe the song's style: a lively fusion of syncopated samba percussion with punchy electronic synth leads, all anchored at a steady 130 BPM. The track runs just over two and a half minutes with no vocals, letting its layered percussive grooves and melodic hooks carry the energy from start to finish. Its title is read as パギーラ (Pagīra), a pronunciation owl＊tree confirmed via social media. In the maimai ecosystem, Baqeela's MASTER chart (level 13+, constant 13.8) was designed by りんご Full Set and stands out for its unusually heavy Touch-note count, 140 of the 982 total notes, demanding fluid two-handed coordination uncommon for this difficulty tier. The Expert chart (level 10+, constant 10.6) was handled by アマリリス. Beyond maimai, the song has appeared in CHUNITHM NEW (where it also received a WORLD'S END chart in CHUNITHM SUN) and crossed over to the Korean rhythm game DJMAX RESPECT V. An extended version and a remix titled "Baqeela (Creepy Remix)" by Sampling Masters MEGA (Shinji Hosoe) appear on owl＊tree's album pvq.
