Overview

FEEL ALIVE is an original song commissioned for the JOYPOLIS indoor theme park collaboration with maimai, debuting in the maimai PLUS update on March 14, 2013. Produced by ELEMENTAS, a composer formerly affiliated with the doujin circle SOUND HOLIC and active as a DJ under the A-One label, and featuring vocalist NAGISA, the track is an upbeat, driving piece at 162 BPM built around energetic synth leads and a propulsive beat. The lyrics and delivery evoke a sense of forward motion and vitality, fitting the futuristic amusement-park atmosphere JOYPOLIS is known for. The jacket art, drawn by Ken Shiro Morii (森井ケンシロウ) of Studio Moriken, depicts two original characters he named "Wan-Pii" (ワンピー) for the yellow-haired girl and "Two-Pii" (ツーピー) for the pink-haired girl, a playful wordplay on the English numbers one and two. The character designs give the song a lighthearted visual identity distinct from its high-energy sound. Over the course of maimai's version history, FEEL ALIVE's charts have been rebalanced multiple times to keep pace with the series' evolving difficulty standards. The Master chart, designed by mai-Star, started as a level 10 in the original maimai PLUS and was gradually elevated to 13+ by UNiVERSE+, making it a significantly more demanding play than its original incarnation. The Expert chart, designed by ニャイン (Nyain), has likewise shifted from level 9 to level 12. A spiritual follow-up, FEEL the BEATS, was later added in maimai PiNK, continuing the collaboration lineage.
