Overview
ちょちょちょ!ゆるゆり☆かぷりっちょ!!! is the opening theme for the third season of the anime *YuruYuri* (ゆるゆり さん☆ハイ!, YuruYuri San☆Hai!), performed by the show's in-universe cast group 七森中☆ごらく部 (Nanamori Chuu☆Gorakubu), the voice actresses of the main characters. The song title plays on the quintessential YuruYuri energy: stuttering kana (*chochocho!*), the series' iconic exclamation, and a cutesy portmanteau ending (*kapuritcho*, a bubbly take on "capriccio" or just nonsense cheer). Clocking in at 190 BPM, the track is a high-tempo, brightly orchestrated pop anthem that mirrors the show's comedic, slice-of-life yuri-tinged schoolgirl hijinks.
Added to maimai during the MURASAKi (MURASAKi) era on January 10, 2017, the song features a play background that directly uses the anime's opening animation, further rooting it in its source material. The standard charts span from Basic Lv4 to a Master Lv11, with the Expert chart designed by しろいろ and the Master chart by ロシェ@ペンギン. The Master chart notably packs 575 total notes with a heavy slide-note count of 100, giving players a lively, high-density challenge befitting the song's relentless cheerfulness.
The track was later removed from maimai's playable catalog on July 11, 2019, as part of a periodic license-based delisting. Outside of maimai, the song has appeared in KONAMI's jubeat and TAITO's Groove Coaster, making it a cross-rhythm-game staple for YuruYuri fans.
