Overview
ビックカメラのテーマソング (Bic Camera's Theme Song) is one of the most unusual licensed tracks to appear in the maimai series: a corporate retail jingle turned into a full rhythm-game chart. The song is an instrumental medley of eight different in-store jingle variations that Bic Camera, one of Japan's largest home electronics retailers, broadcasts at its various branches across the country. The arrangement strings together the versions used at Ikebukuro, Yokohama West Exit, Sapporo, Nagoya Station West, Hiroshima Station Front, Shinjuku East Exit (the Biclo joint store), Ikebukuro PC Building, and Nagoya JR Gate Tower, with the Biclo section extended by twelve bars.
