Overview

えれくとりっく・えんじぇぅ (Electric Angel) is a classic Hatsune Miku VOCALOID track composed, arranged, and written by ヤスオ (Yasuo). Originally released on the 2009 album digital colors, the song quickly became a staple of the early VOCALOID doujin music scene on niconico douga, where its full version video (sm1249071) garnered millions of views. The lyrics center on a virtual singer discovering a sense of self and identity, the "I" in the song, through the love and recognition of a human listener, blending themes of digital consciousness and emotional connection that resonate deeply with the VOCALOID fandom. The song was added to maimai MiLK PLUS on August 21, 2018, in the niconico & VOCALOID genre. It is exclusive to the Japanese region and was later removed from Asian and Chinese versions of maimai starting with maimai DX, making it a region-locked legacy track. The Master chart, designed by LabiLabi at difficulty 11+ (constant 11.6), and the Expert chart by サファ太 (Safata) at Lv. 10, both reflect the song's driving 150 BPM electronic rhythm. Over the course of maimai's version updates, the song's charts underwent several level revisions, the Expert chart, for instance, climbed from 8+ at launch to 10 by UNiVERSE PLUS, before settling at its current values.
