Overview

猫猫的宇宙論 (Nyaa Nyaa-teki Uchūron, "Cat-like Cosmology") is a Vocaloid track by producer NayutalieN (ナユタン星人) featuring Hatsune Miku, added to maimai DX with the Splash PLUS update on August 5, 2021. The song exemplifies NayutalieN's signature style of bright, synth-driven electronic pop layered with space-themed wordplay, fitting for an artist whose name fuses "Nayuta" (the Japanese name for Neptune) with "alien." Its title is a layered pun: 猫猫 is read as ニャーニャー (nyaa nyaa, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat's meow), and 宇宙論 (uchūron) means cosmology, together conjuring a playful feline take on the nature of the universe. The track was first uploaded to niconico (sm40324633) and later given an official music video on YouTube, both standard channels for the producer's Vocaloid releases. In maimai DX, the song's highest chart is Master at level 12+ (difficulty constant 12.7), designed alongside the Expert chart by 隅田川星人 (Sumidagawa Seijin). The charter's pseudonym is itself a knowing wink, substituting the Sumida River (隅田川) for "Nayuta" (ナユタン) to create a direct parody of NayutalieN's own stage name, matching the song's self-aware and whimsical tone. The Basic difficulty was originally level 4 at launch and was adjusted down to level 3 in the UNiVERSE+ update, while the Advanced, Expert, and Master levels have remained unchanged.

Trivia

  • The title 猫猫的宇宙論 is read as ニャーニャーてきうちゅうろん (Nyaa Nyaa-teki Uchūron). The first three kanji 猫猫的 are a playful visual pun, 猫猫 (cat cat) is assigned the reading ニャーニャー (nyaa nyaa, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat's meow), and 的 (-teki) is a suffix meaning "-like" or "-ish," yielding a phrase that sounds like a cat's meow while referring to cats.
  • The chart designer for both the Expert and Master difficulties, 隅田川星人 (Sumidagawa Seijin), uses a pseudonym that directly parodies the artist name ナユタン星人 (NayutalieN / Nayutan Seijin). Where ナユタン (Nayuta, Neptune) appears in the artist's name, the charter substitutes 隅田川 (Sumidagawa), the name of a major river in Tokyo.
  • The Basic difficulty was originally assigned level 4 when the song debuted in Splash PLUS but was lowered to level 3 in the UNiVERSE+ update.

  • The official music video, titled 'ナユタン星人 - 猫猫的宇宙論 (ft.初音ミク) OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO,' is available on YouTube and features Hatsune Miku as the vocalist.
  • The Master chart difficulty constant is 12.7, placing it among the more demanding 12+ charts in the Splash PLUS era.
  • The song belongs to the niconico & Vocaloid genre category in maimai DX, reflecting its origin as a Hatsune Miku Vocaloid track first released on the niconico platform.
