Overview

Colorfull:Encounter marks a significant milestone for composer Reku Mochizuki, his very first original composition created specifically for the maimai series. Before this, Mochizuki's contributions to SEGA's rhythm game ecosystem came through cross-franchise titles: the high-energy INFiNiTE ENERZY -Overdoze- (featured across CHUNITHM, maimai, and オンゲキ) and the オンゲキ track Zitronectar. With Colorfull:Encounter, he steps fully into the maimai original song universe, delivering a driving 185 BPM electronic track that pairs anthemic melodies with a relentless rhythmic pulse. The song is wrapped in a narrative context conveyed through in-game flavor text: humanity has abandoned the Earth and returned to a star shrouded in darkness. A character named Kurohime closes her eyes and calls forth memories of a long-lost world, trees swaying in the wind, light flooding the land, water cycling energy through all matter, a fragile paradise lost because its inhabitants could not grasp the value of what they had. The text speaks of repeating the same mistakes over and over, yet pressing forward nonetheless, lending the track a bittersweet, almost cosmological weight beneath its energetic surface. On the charting side, the Expert difficulty was designed by はっぴー, while the Master chart (level 13+, constant 13.9) was handled by 鳩ホルダー, both well-known figures in the maimai chart design scene. The jacket art and in-game movie were produced by Kazuma Enta, cell, and SEGA / 尾崎ドミノ, giving the song a distinct visual identity within the Metropolis Area 9 unlock lineup.

Trivia

  • Colorfull:Encounter is Reku Mochizuki's first original song composed specifically for maimai. His prior appearances in the SEGA rhythm game ecosystem, INFiNiTE ENERZY -Overdoze- and Zitronectar, were originally created for CHUNITHM and オンゲキ respectively, then later ported to maimai.
  • The deluxe collection title associated with the song is "完全栄養食" (Kanzen Eiyōshoku, meaning 'Complete Nutritional Food'), a humorous name that describes ramen as a food containing all necessary nutrients. At 131 characters (excluding spaces), it was the longest title in maimai DX history upon release, surpassing the previous record of 49 characters held by sølips and MEGATON BLAST / MEGATON KICK. It was later overtaken by the title from おべんきょうたいむ.
  • CHUNITHM also received the same 完全栄養食 title, which became the longest title in that game as well, dethroning a previous 98-character ASMR-themed title.
  • The song was unlockable in maimai DX PRiSM by reaching a cumulative distance of 600 km in Metropolis Area 9 (メトロポリスちほー9). In the Chinese version (舞萌DX 2025), it became unlockable from April 28, 2026. From maimai DX CiRCLE onward, it is available by default.
  • The in-game movie was created by Kazuma Enta, cell, and SEGA / 尾崎ドミノ.
  • The song has no lyrics, it is a purely instrumental electronic track.
  • The flavor text attached to the song tells a story of humanity abandoning the Earth, returning to a dark star, and a character named Kurohime recalling memories of a vibrant world just before it was lost, connecting the track to the broader narrative lore of maimai original songs.
  • The title uses a stylized double-L spelling ("Colorfull" instead of "Colorful"), a deliberate orthographic choice by the composer.
