Overview
デビル☆アイドル (Devil☆Idol) is the opening theme song for the television anime series でびどる! (Debidoru!). Composed, arranged, and written by Taketeru Sunamori, the track is performed by the three main voice actresses of the series: Suzuko Mimori (as Aira), Yuka Iguchi (as Shima), and Kana Hanazawa (as Hana), three of the most recognizable names in Japanese voice acting and anime music. Clocking in at a brisk 180 BPM and a short 1:29 in length, the song captures the high-energy, sugar-rush style of modern idol-pop, with a playful "devil" twist befitting the show's premise.
The song was added to maimai でらっくす (maimai DX) on September 6, 2019, debuting alongside the very first version of the DX reboot. Its Japanese genre classification is POPS&アニメ (POPS & ANIME), placing it in the standard category for anime tie-in vocal tracks. Over subsequent version updates, the chart levels have been adjusted upward: the Basic chart rose from 3 to 4, the Expert chart from 9 to 9+, and the Master chart from 11+ through 12 to its current 12+ rating. The Expert chart was designed by シチミヘルツ (Shichimi Hertz), while the Master chart was designed by 某S氏 (Bou S-shi), a charter known for crafting technically demanding upper-level DX patterns.

Trivia
- デビル☆アイドル was used as the opening theme for the TV anime series でびどる! (Debidoru!), which aired during the 2019 anime season.
- The track was composed, arranged, and lyric-written by Taketeru Sunamori (砂守岳央), a composer active across anime, game, and vocaloid music circles.
- The three vocalists, Suzuko Mimori (三森すずこ), Yuka Iguchi (井口裕香), and Kana Hanazawa (花澤香菜), are among Japan's most prominent seiyuu, each with extensive music careers beyond their voice acting roles.
- A full album also titled デビル☆アイドル was released in 2020 featuring the song and related tracks from the anime.
- In the Asian (international) version of maimai DX, the song was added on June 25, 2020; the Chinese version followed on October 1, 2020.
- The Expert and Master charts have undergone level reevaluations across maimai DX versions: Master started at 11+ (DX), rose to 12 (DX+ through UNiVERSE), and reached 12+ (FESTiVAL+ onward). Basic rose from 3 to 4 starting with UNiVERSE+.
- Playing the song on any difficulty unlocks the collection title 'で!', and clearing the Expert chart unlocks the title '3話切りが怖い' ('Afraid of Dropping After 3 Episodes'), a self-referential joke about anime viewers who abandon series after the first few episodes. This title was later demoted from bronze to white rarity in the CiRCLE PLUS system.
