Overview
ドキドキDREAM!!! is a high-energy theme song by Irodorimidori (イロドリミドリ), a fictional band from the CHUNITHM rhythm game universe. Written as the theme for the band's "School MVP Arc" (学園MVP編), the second story arc of Irodorimidori Season 1, the track captures the competitive spirit of students vying for the top spot with its driving beat and uplifting choral refrain.
Composed by Genki Hikota of Hifumi,inc. with lyrics by Maru (HONDALADY), the song features full vocal performances by all five Irodorimidori members voiced by Emi Nitta, Ayaka Fukuhara, Ayano Yamamoto, Kaoru Sakura, and M·A·O. At 210 BPM, the song is among the faster tracks in its category, and its maimai MASTER chart, designed by Moon Strix, incorporates a playful visual gimmick where slide notes trace the letters D, O, K, and I during the first chorus, directly referencing the song's titular onomatopoeia. The EXPERT chart was designed by はっぴー (Happy).
Originally debuting in CHUNITHM AIR at launch, ドキドキDREAM!!! was added to maimai MURASAKi on February 21, 2017, as part of the cross-title CHUNITHM collaboration. Over subsequent maimai versions, its genre label shifted from ORIGINAL & JOYPOLIS to its current オンゲキ＆CHUNITHM classification, and its MASTER chart difficulty has been revised upward several times, from level 11 at debut to 13 from UNiVERSE PLUS onward, reflecting the chart's enduring challenge and the series' evolving difficulty standards.
