Overview

Credits is a composition by Frums, a producer recognized across the rhythm-game scene for dense, mathematically-inclined electronic music. The track originated from the BMS contest 大血戦, THE BMS OF FIGHTERS ULTIMATE (BOFU 2015), where it placed 30th overall under the BMS genre label "OTHER TIME." It was later added to maimai MiLK on March 6, 2018, classified under GAME & VARIETY. The song's presentation is built around a deliberate retro-computing aesthetic. Its background movie (and original BGA) renders entirely using characters from code page 437 in the OEM terminal font, mimicking a text-based command-line interface. A sampled voice line, "Funding of this program was made possible by viewers like you", directly samples PBS (the Public Broadcasting Service), reinforcing the end-credits theme implied by the title. An extended arrangement, Credits EX, appears on the compilation album *Groundbreaking -BOFU2015 COMPILATION ALBUM-* and adds an additional voice clip referencing a national weather forecast for eastern Massachusetts. In maimai, Credits is best known for its Master chart (level 14+, constant 14.6) designed by 譜面-100号, which packs 733 notes into a 1:40 runtime with demanding stream patterns. The Expert chart (level 13, constant 13.3) was designed by Jack. Beyond maimai, Credits has also appeared in 7th Beat Games' *A Dance of Fire and Ice* and Pigeon Games' *Phigros*, cementing its status as a cross-rhythm-game staple from Frums' catalog.
