Don't Fight The Music is a high-energy instrumental boss track composed by 黒魔 (Chroma, the alias of Masaki Sekikawa), originally created for SEGA's オンゲキ rhythm game series. It debuted in オンゲキ R.E.D. in January 2021 alongside Falsum Atlantis. as one of that version's signature boss songs, later arriving in maimai DX FESTiVAL on September 15, 2022 as part of the オンゲキ & CHUNITHM cross-game collaboration catalog. The song was initially limited to players who linked their オンゲキ bright MEMORY data, with a general unlock following on November 4, 2022. Driven at a relentless 195 BPM, the track delivers aggressive synth leads and a constantly building intensity that matches its boss-song pedigree, all without a single lyric, letting the composition itself carry the emotional weight. The jacket artwork features 皇城 セツナ (Kōjō Setsuna), the rival opponent character associated with the song in オンゲキ. An in-game title reward for achieving 1 MISS or fewer in maimai reads 「絶望を知るがいい！」 (Know despair!), a line tied to Setsuna's persona. Beyond SEGA's arcade ecosystem, Don't Fight The Music has been licensed into several other rhythm games including プロジェクトセカイ カラフルステージ! feat. 初音ミク, Arcaea, DJMAX RESPECT V, and GROOVE COASTER, making it one of Chroma's most widely circulated compositions. A narrative sequel, And Revive The Melody, later appeared in オンゲキ bright MEMORY. In maimai, the MASTER chart (level 14, constant 14.1) is particularly distinctive: co-designed by 翠楼屋 (Suirouya) and あまくちジンジャー (Amakuchi Ginger), it packs 1089 total notes with unusually high counts of Touch notes (137) and Break notes (148), creating a visually dense and technically demanding late-game experience. The EXPERT chart was designed by ロシェ@ペンギン (Rocher@penguin) at level 12+ (constant 12.8).
