Overview
みんなの ("Everyone's") is a Touhou Project arrange track performed by the doujin music circle 豚乙女 (Butaotome), introduced to maimai with the MiLK PLUS update on October 2, 2018. The song reworks 夜雀の歌声 ~ Night Bird (Mystia's Song ~ Night Bird), the Stage 2 theme from 東方永夜抄 ~ Imperishable Night (the eighth mainline Touhou title by ZUN / Team Shanghai Alice). Butaotome member comp handled the arrangement and lyrics, with vocalist ranko delivering a bright, festival-like performance that matches the character of Mystia Lorelei, the night sparrow youkai who runs a grilled-skewer stall in the original game. The lyrics encourage letting go of worries and singing together, reinforcing the communal, feel-good mood the title suggests. Originally released on Butaotome's 2013 album 獣道, the song carries the circle's signature energetic vocal style over a steady 190 BPM. In maimai, the Master chart (level 12, constant 12.5), designed by 某S氏 (Bou S shi), is known for its dense Slide-note patterns and heavy Break-note clusters that demand sustained accuracy, while the Expert chart by 華火職人 (Kanon Oguni) offers a more measured but still demanding 10-level arrangement. Across maimai versions, the song's chart levels have been re-evaluated multiple times, reflecting the evolving difficulty standards of the DX era. Notably, until maimai FiNALE the song played with a moving background video of Mystia Lorelei; from maimai でらっくす onward this was replaced by a static jacket image.
