"fake!fake!" is a high-energy POPS & ANIME track by the Japanese musical unit カラスは真っ白 (rendered as "A crow is white" in Asian English releases). The song was composed, written, and sung by Kana Yaginuma (柳沼香那), with arrangement credited to the unit itself. It originally appeared on the 2014 album おんそくメリーゴーランド before being brought into maimai PiNK PLUS in June 2016 as an unlockable song purchasable with 4000 maiberry. The track was later made available by default starting with maimai MURASAKi, and also crossed over into CHUNITHM AIR at that game's launch with a slightly extended edit. The music video was directed by Wataru Uekusa (植草航) with a team of animators, and an official English-subtitled version was published alongside the game release. Running at a brisk 156 BPM for roughly 2 minutes and 16 seconds in its maimai edit, "fake!fake!" pairs a driving pop-rock instrumental with Yaginuma's bright, energetic vocals. The title itself, punctuated with exclamation marks, suggests themes of falsehood and pretense, a recurring motif in the lyrics that matches the song's frantic, playful energy. On the charting side, the Master difficulty (level 12+) was designed by rioN and the Expert difficulty (level 10) by Jack, both regular maimai chart contributors. The Master chart has seen several level adjustments across maimai versions, peaking at level 13 during the FESTIVAL through PRiSM era before settling back to 12+ from PRiSM+ onward, reflecting ongoing community discussion and re-evaluation of its difficulty.
