Overview
ブレインジャックシンドローム (Brain Jack Syndrome) is an original song commissioned for maimai でらっくす PLUS, created by Vocaloid-P and doujin music producer Kairiki Bear (かいりきベア) with vocals by Rika (利香). Kairiki Bear, widely recognized in the Vocaloid scene for tracks such as アルカリレットウセイ (Alkali Retussei) and ベノム (Venom), brings his characteristic blend of aggressive electronic rock and glitchy production to this maimai-exclusive track. At a relentless 204 BPM, the song's title, a portmanteau of "brain jack" (neural hacking) and "syndrome", sets the tone for lyrics that explore themes of psychological compulsion, emotional unraveling, and the tangled relationship between love and pain. The music video was produced by the creative group 群青リコリス (Gunjou licorice). Originally unlockable through the Mikangaoka Area progression system in maimai でらっくす PLUS, the song later became permanently available from the Splash PLUS update onward, and its availability was staggered across Asian and Chinese regional releases.
