Overview
Break The Speakers is a high-energy original hardcore track by DJ Myosuke (浦田幸宏), created as the commissioned final-round song for the International division of KING of Performai The 7th, SEGA's cross-title rhythm game tournament. Despite having previously contributed tracks like MEGATON KICK and JINGLE DEATH to maimai's song pool, Break The Speakers marks DJ Myosuke's first original composition written specifically for the maimai series. The song's title, literally "break the speakers", fits squarely within his Brutal Decibel series of distortion-heavy hardcore productions, delivering a relentless wall of sound at 185 BPM that lives up to its name. The accompanying video, created by yoshimo with illustrations by りゅうら (Ryūra), features PPP-costumed characters Shama and Miruku alongside a MaiPaddo (maiぱっど) face hidden in the song's title logo. In the Japan version, Break The Speakers debuted as the SSS1-class boss friend reward in maimai でらっくす CiRCLE PLUS, functioning as a conduction (伝導) song that LEGEND-class players can share with others through multiplayer sessions. The Asian version released earlier on March 5th, 2026 and notably shipped with a typo in the title, reading "Break the Speaker", which was corrected the following day.
