Overview

"Churros Parlor" is a maimai original song introduced during the FESTiVAL PLUS era, composed and arranged by the enigmatic artist ピエロ☆マン (Pierrot☆Man). True to its name, the track is a bright, energetic instrumental, composer Maron (まろん) described it in a tweet as evoking the feeling of churros at an amusement park, matching the playful, carnival-like energy that drives its 190 BPM rhythm. The song serves as one of the unlockable rewards in Dragon Area 2 (ドラゴンちほー2), a themed region whose flavor text spins a fantasy narrative about a legendary dragon that could see past and future, sought by a character named Ask after a traveler reports witnessing a pillar of fire on the dragon's mountain. Pierrot☆Man's identity is unconfirmed, but the naming pattern and musical style strongly point to Maron of IOSYS, who previously contributed Pierrot-themed tracks to BEMANI titles such as "PIERROT KNIfE" (SOUND VOLTEX) and "THE F∀UST" (beatmania IIDX). Though they had participated in the OTOGEMA project, "Churros Parlor" marks their first solo composition for maimai. The song's MASTER chart, designed by 翠楼屋 (Suirouya) at level 13+, is packed with dense Tap and Break patterns totaling 969 notes, while the EXPERT chart by Luxizhel offers a 12.5-level gauntlet. The jacket art and in-game movie were produced by Taiyo Yamamoto, Radiosity, and えーれ.
