Overview
FLΛME/FRΦST (read as "Flame/Frost") is a maimai original instrumental track by the artist FANTAGIRAFF, marking the composer's second original contribution to the series following 超熊猫的周遊記 (Wonder Panda Traveler). Released on May 9, 2025, as part of the maimai でらっくす PRiSM PLUS update, the song serves as the final unlock of the KALEIDXSCOPE -Red Gate- course, a high-difficulty gauntlet representing the World Tree Area. The KALEIDXSCOPE course notably held the record for the fewest clears during its Life 1 period, with only a single player clearing it on launch day, underscoring the formidable challenge barrier surrounding this track.
At 174 BPM with no lyrics, the composition leans into an orchestral-electronic fusion befitting its fantasy theme. Accompanying the music is a movie by わっふゑ, with illustrations by mors_gn and TAPI岡, depicting the song's original narrative about a dragon knight named Sigurd, his lost partner dragon Crème, and his sister Brulee's quest to find him. The MASTER chart, designed by the duo SΛFΛRI/RΦCHER, carries 1,046 total notes at difficulty 14+ (constant 14.8), making it one of the denser charts in the PRiSM PLUS era. The EXPERT chart (12+, constant 12.9) was designed by はっぴー.
