Overview

Elemental Ethnic is an instrumental track by Japanese composer Yooh that bridges SEGA's three major rhythm-game franchises. Originally created for CHUNITHM PARADISE LOST (September 2021), it later appeared in ONGEKI bright MEMORY (January 2024) before arriving in maimai DX PRiSM on September 12, 2024, as part of a cross-game collaboration linking the three titles. Yooh's composition blends driving electronic beats with world-music textures, a style he has explored across multiple rhythm game series. The track shares structural DNA with Tribal Trial, a Yooh original for KONAMI's SOUND VOLTEX VIVID WAVE, and its title and atmosphere lean into the same "tribal/ethnic" aesthetic. Purely instrumental and paced at 163 BPM, the song sustains a high-energy, percussive drive throughout its 2-minute 25-second runtime. In maimai, Elemental Ethnic arrived as a collaboration unlock: players could add it by playing CHUNITHM once. From December 6, 2024, it became available by default across all regions (Japan, international, USA, and China). The song's jacket art depicts Saul Kaim (サウル・カイム), a character from the CHUNITHM universe. Its Master chart, co-designed by サファ太 (Safata) and 鳩ホルダー (Hato holder), delivers a dense 1,082-note arrangement at a difficulty constant of 14.2, while Luxizhel's Expert chart offers a 701-note challenge rated 12.7.
