Overview
Flashkick is an original Drumstep track composed by Yooh for maimai でらっくす PLUS (DX PLUS), released on March 19, 2020 as part of the Metropolis Area 2: Yeesh Attacks event. At 175 BPM, the song delivers energetic, breakbeat-driven rhythms characteristic of Yooh's production style, crisp synth leads, aggressive basslines, and a high-speed four-on-the-floor framework that bridges dubstep heaviness with drum-and-bass momentum. The track is the composer's first contribution to the maimai series and represents a natural extension of his work across the broader rhythm-game landscape.
Yooh, best known as the head of the Yoohsic Roomz label, has contributed to multiple BEMANI titles including SOUND VOLTEX (Butterfly Twist) and DANCERUSH STARDOM (Crazy Shuffle). The maimai charts for Flashkick highlight the composition's intensity: the MASTER chart (level 13, constant 13.2, designed by 華火職人 / Kanon Oguni) packs 798 notes with an unusually high 99 Touch notes, a signature of the DX-era sensor gameplay. The EXPERT chart (level 11, designed by サファ太 / Safata) at 579 notes serves as a demanding gateway to the upper tier. A long version of Flashkick, along with a Juggernaut. Remix, appears on Yooh's personal album HYPER FULL THROTTLE.

Trivia
- Flashkick is Yooh's first and only maimai original song as of its release, distinguishing his presence in the series from his broader BEMANI oeuvre.
- The track belongs to the Drumstep genre, a hybrid style that layers dubstep-style wobble bass and half-time drops over a drum-and-bass tempo backbone (typically 170-180 BPM).
- Yooh is the founder of Yoohsic Roomz, a doujin music circle, and shares a notable mutual influence with fellow rhythm-game composer BlackY; both are SOUND VOLTEX players and composers who have described themselves as pushing each other's work forward.
- The MASTER chart (華火職人) features 99 Touch notes, a conspicuously high count for its era of maimai DX, leveraging the cabinet's touch-sensor panel for dense, rhythmic slapping patterns that mirror the track's drum-step energy.
- The Metropolis Area 2 event (メトロポリスちほー2 イーシュ襲来) served as the unlock mechanism: players needed to accumulate 12 m of travel distance in maimai DX PLUS, later raised to 14 km in maimai でらっくす Splash before the song became available by default from Splash PLUS onward.
- In the Chinese version (舞萌DX), Flashkick was first unlockable from April 28, 2021 in the 2021 edition and became available by default in the 2022 edition.
- The extended mix and Juggernaut. Remix of Flashkick, both exclusive to the HYPER FULL THROTTLE album, have never appeared in any rhythm game, making the maimai version the only playable arrangement of the track.
