Overview
EYE is a VOCALOID track by the producer Kanaria, featuring GUMI on vocals, and was added to maimai DX FESTiVAL on September 15, 2022. Released as Kanaria's sixth digital single on July 26, 2021, the song is driven by a propulsive 137 BPM beat, sharp electronic instrumentation, and GUMI's signature clear, agile vocal delivery. The accompanying music video was created by illustrator and animator LAM, whose distinctive visual style complements the song's off-kilter, cryptic energy.
In maimai DX, EYE is categorized under niconico & VOCALOID and is available across all regions, Japan, international, USA, and China (where it arrived later on December 15, 2023 as part of 舞萌DX 2023). The MASTER chart, rated level 13 (13.0), was co-designed by the duo サファ太 (Safata) and 翠楼屋 (Suirouya) and stands out for its exceptionally high Touch note density: 151 Touch notes out of a total 795, combined with 86 Break notes. This gives the chart a tactile, physically demanding character unusual even among level-13 charts. The EXPERT chart (level 9) was designed by Jack, providing a more conventional but still engaging introduction to the song's rhythms. The MASTER chart originally debuted at level 12+ before being re-rated to level 13 starting from FESTiVAL PLUS.
