Overview
ビビデバ (Bibbidiba) is an original song by Hoshimachi Suisei (星街すいせい), a virtual singer and 0th-generation member of the hololive production talent agency. The track was released as her 15th digital single in 2024, roughly four months after her prior single "Zion," and was composed, arranged, and written by Tsumiki (ツミキ), the producer behind Vocaloid hits such as "Phony" (フォニイ) and the collaborative "Chieruka / Esterica" (チエルカ／エソテリカ). Its title and lyrics playfully echo the fairy godmother's incantation "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" from Disney's Cinderella, weaving a theme of magical transformation, glass slippers, and carefree dancing through an energetic pop framework at 120 BPM.
ビビデバ arrived in maimai DX PRiSM PLUS on March 13, 2025, marking the return of a hololive original song to the maimai series, the last such inclusion being "Shiny Smily Story" (or "Earphone Romance" if counting Touhou arrangement covers). The song also appears concurrently in SEGA's other rhythm titles, CHUNITHM VERSE and ONGEKI Re:Fresh, making it a cross-title event track. In maimai, the Re:Master chart (level 13.2, designed by Shichimi Hertz) notably features the highest note density in the set with 825 total notes, while the Master chart (level 11.8, designed by 緑風 犬三郎) and Expert chart (level 9.6, designed by サファ太) offer progressive difficulty curves suitable for intermediate and advanced players.
