Overview
でんでんぱっしょん (Denden Passion) is a song by Japanese idol group でんぱ組.inc (Dempagumi.inc), released as their 7th single in 2013 through the album of the same title. The track was composed by Tamaya 2060% (a member of the electronic unit Weinners), arranged by Shunsuke Tsuri, and features lyrics by Aki Hata and Mofuku-chan. The title is a layered pun: "でんでん" (denden) is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a ringing telephone, while "ぱっしょん" approximates the English word "passion", together the name evokes a playful, digitally themed exuberance that suits the group's otaku-pop identity. The song's vocal performance rotates across six group members, Mirin Furukawa, Risa Aizawa, Nemu Yumemi, Eimi Naruse, Moga Mogami, and Ayane Fujisaki, giving the track a lively call-and-response texture typical of Dempagumi.inc's style.
Added to maimai at the launch of the PiNK edition on December 9, 2015, でんでんぱっしょん was one of the early-wave pop-song picks for the version. It remained playable for roughly two and a half years before being removed from the arcade rotation on June 21, 2018. The song also crossed over into other rhythm game franchises, appearing in jubeat, GITADORA, and GROOVE COASTER, giving it a modest but notable presence across the broader Japanese arcade music-game landscape. At 1 minute 26 seconds and 186 BPM, the track is a compact burst of energy that leans heavily on fast-paced vocal delivery and bright synth textures.
