Overview
キャプテン・ムラサのケツアンカー is a Touhou Project arrange track produced by the doujin circle IOSYS, featured in maimai ORANGE PLUS since July 2015. The song is a high-energy remix of two themes from 東方星蓮船 〜 Undefined Fantastic Object, the stage 4 field theme 幽霊客船の時空を越えた旅 and the boss theme キャプテン・ムラサ, fused into a 190 BPM comedy number about Captain Minamitsu Murasa solving absurd plumbing emergencies with her signature "butt anchor" (ケツアンカー). The arrangement was handled by ARM (Youhei Kimura) with lyrics by 夕野ヨシミ (Takafumi Suzuki) and vocals by 山本椛 (Momiji Yamamoto), all core members of the IOSYS circle. Originally released on the IOSYS doujin album 東方アゲハ in 2010, the song later crossed over into the arcade rhythm game scene via maimai and subsequently appeared in CHUNITHM NEW. The official music video, produced by kouks (Dividice), is notable for its liberal use of mosaic pixelation that, according to the wiki, actually conceals nothing more than a cartoon duck, a joke befitting the track's irreverent tone. In maimai, the chart features a level 13 Master difficulty with a constant of 13.4, designed by はっぴー, while the Expert chart (level 11) was designed by 某S氏. An additional UTAGE (宴) chart titled なぞる順番を覚えるゲーム(上級編) ("Remember the Tracing Order Game, Advanced Course") was added during the MURASAKi PLUS era, though it is no longer playable as of current versions.

Trivia
- The song is a remix of two tracks from 東方星蓮船 〜 Undefined Fantastic Object: the stage 4 theme 幽霊客船の時空を越えた旅 (A Traveler's Journey Through Time Aboard a Ghost Ship) and the stage 4 boss theme キャプテン・ムラサ (Captain Murasa).
- The lyrics describe Captain Murasa using her 'butt anchor' to clear clogged toilets and steam-filled bathrooms, plumbing problems that prevent her crew from peeping into the women's bath. The absurd premise is typical of IOSYS's comedic Touhou arrange style.
- The music video features heavy mosaic censorship squares, but according to the JP wiki, the obscured content is nothing more than a cartoon duck, not the Donald Duck brand, as the wiki wryly notes.
- The song originally appeared on the IOSYS doujin album 東方アゲハ, released in 2010, five years before its maimai debut.
- In Asian English versions of maimai, the song title is displayed as 'Captain Murasa's Ketsu Anchor' and the artist as 'ARM + YOUNO feat. Yamamoto Momiji'.
- The Master chart was designed by はっぴー (Happy), a longtime maimai notes designer known for technically demanding patterns. The Expert chart was designed by 某S氏 (a designer whose name is partially obscured).

- The song also appears in SEGA's CHUNITHM NEW, where the Master chart was designed by ロシェ@ペンギン (Rocher@penguin).
