Overview

"Beat of getting entangled" is an original instrumental composition by Shoichiro Hirata (平田祥一郎), added to maimai during the GreeN era on July 11, 2013. Known for providing songs to major artists and popular idol groups, Hirata brought a distinctly club-oriented sensibility to this maimai commission. The track is a dynamic hardcore-techno piece that weaves together 2-step, dubstep, and dancehall reggae influences, an uncommon combination that gives the song its tangled, multilayered character. Hirata was asked to produce a "2STEP" track for maimai and approached the brief by exploring how the retro genre could feel contemporary. The resulting composition opens with a dancehall reggae-style MC hook before cascading into aggressive, layered techno beats. Hirata has explained that the title "Beat of getting entangled" reflects the sticky, intersecting quality of the music, the way melodic phrases and rhythms wrap around each other throughout the track. As a purely instrumental piece, the song's emotional weight rests entirely on its arrangement and production. The composition earned a Standard Re:Master chart in October 2020, added as part of the maimai ALL PERFECT COLLECTION release celebration on maimai でらっくす Splash.
