Overview

ブリキノダンス (Buriki no Dance) is the sixth original song from 日向電工 (Hinata Denkou), a VOCALOID producer whose work blends driving electronic production with cryptic, image-rich lyrics. The track features Hatsune Miku delivering vocals at a brisk 172 BPM over a synth-heavy arrangement. Its title translates to "Tin Dance," a motif the lyrics reinforce through the rare kanji compound 錻力 (buriki), which visually spells out "tin" or "sheet iron" using characters for metal and power. The song first appeared on the 2017 album ブラックホールディスク (Black Hole Disc) before being licensed to Sega's maimai as part of the MiLK PLUS update on August 7, 2018. Its maimai charts span five difficulties, with はっぴー (Happy)'s Re:MASTER chart at level 13, the most demanding of the set, distinguished by rapid slide sequences and a 900-note total. The song's tenure in maimai proved finite: it was removed from Asian and Chinese DX cabinets early in the DX era, and the Japanese arcade version followed on March 19, 2026. Outside maimai, the track also appears in CHUNITHM AMAZON (originally unlockable via a Virtual Singer MAP event) and ONGEKI, which later added a LUNATIC chart in its bright update.

Trivia

  • 日向電工 produced the song's music video in addition to composing, arranging, and writing the lyrics, a complete self-production common among doujin VOCALOID creators.
  • The word ブリキ (buriki) in the title is written in katakana, but the lyrics deploy the rare kanji compound 錻力 (also read buriki), which combines the metal radical with characters meaning 'martial' and 'power.'
  • The Re:MASTER chart (level 13, constant 13.4) was designed by はっぴー (Happy). It contains 900 notes, 763 taps, 32 holds, 93 slides, and 12 breaks, making it one of the denser charts from the MiLK PLUS era.
  • The MASTER chart (level 12, constant 12.5) was designed by 緑風 犬三郎 (Midorikaze Inusaburō). With only 5 hold notes out of 752 total, the chart emphasizes rapid single-tap patterns and extended slide passages.
  • The EXPERT chart was designed by サファ太 (Safata), a charter who has contributed to numerous niconico-VOCALOID song charts across the maimai series.
  • In Asian English versions of maimai, the song was displayed as 'BURIKI NO DANCE' by 'hinata denko', a romanization that differs slightly from the more common 'Buriki no Dance' reading.
  • The song was removed from Asian and Chinese maimai DX cabinets beginning with the first maimai DX version, making it unavailable in those regions throughout most of the DX era.
  • The Japanese maimai version removed the song on March 19, 2026, per the official schedule.
  • The in-game title earned by playing the song is '優劣など無いさ回れ踊れ' ('There's no superiority or inferiority, just spin and dance'), a line taken directly from the song's lyrics.
  • In ONGEKI, ブリキノダンス received a LUNATIC chart on November 18, 2021, unlocked by achieving 3000% total damage in the song 初音天地開闢神話.
  • The song's difficulty levels were revised multiple times across maimai versions: the Expert chart rose from level 9 (MiLK PLUS) to 10+ (UNiVERSE+), the Master from 10+ to 12, and the Re:Master from 12 to 13.
  • ブリキノダンス is one of only six songs in ONGEKI that are available by default without requiring any unlock.
