Overview
クローバー♣クラブ (Clover♣Club) is a Vocaloid song by doujin composer ゆうゆ (Yuuyu), featuring Hatsune Miku on vocals. It originally appeared on Yuuyu's 2008 album 虹色の花 (Rainbow-colored Flower) and was later added to maimai as part of the ORANGE PLUS update on May 14, 2015, under the niconico & VOCALOID genre.
The song's most distinctive feature is its lyrical theme: the verses walk through the step-by-step preparation of a Clover Club cocktail, a classic Prohibition-era drink made with dry gin, lemon juice, grenadine syrup, and egg white. Instructions like "レモンジュースを注いで" (pour the lemon juice), "卵白はよく混ぜてね" (whip the egg white well), and "準備が出来たらLet's shake" (when ready, let's shake) turn the song into an unusually practical recipe set to a bright, cheerful pop arrangement.
In maimai, the Master chart, designed by ロシェ@ペンギン (Rocher@penguin), has had one of the most eventful difficulty revision histories of any song in the series. Starting as a level 11 in ORANGE PLUS, it was re-evaluated upward through multiple versions (11+ in MiLK PLUS, 12 in FiNALE, 12+ in でらっくす PLUS, and finally 13 from UNiVERSE+ onward), reflecting both the chart's enduring challenge and the game's expanding difficulty ceiling. The Expert chart was designed by Jack.
The in-game jacket is a screenshot taken from the 初音ミク Project DIVA Arcade music video for the same song, with the song's custom title card overlaid, a visual artifact of the crossover between Sega's two rhythm-game franchises. クローバー♣クラブ remains exclusive to Japanese-region maimai cabinets.
