All songs

Overview

End Time is a high-energy electronic track by producer Cres., originally entered in the BMS of Fighters III (BOF2006) song contest, where it placed 37th overall. The song is driven by a relentless 180 BPM beat and dramatic, atmospheric build-ups that fit the "ReQuiEm tRanCe" genre tag it carried in the BMS scene. After circulating in the doujin rhythm-game community for over a decade, the track was licensed by SEGA and introduced to its arcade ecosystem, appearing first in CHUNITHM AMAZON in March 2019 before crossing over to maimai FiNALE on June 7, 2019. End Time was one of four "end"-themed songs released in that final FiNALE update, a thematic bookend for the version's run. Its jacket art and background video feature Hashima Island (Gunkanjima), the abandoned offshore industrial complex in Nagasaki Prefecture, the video was remastered specifically for the maimai series, reinforcing the song's post-apocalyptic, ruin-gazing atmosphere. In the maimai DX era, End Time stood out as the only GAME & VARIETY (originally VARIETY) genre song rated Level 13+ on the 1–14 scale, underscoring its reputation among veteran players. A sequel, Never End, followed in 2025.
