Overview
フリィダム ロリィタ (Freedom Lolita) is a VOCALOID original by producer ねじ式 (Nejishiki), sung by 結月ゆかり (Yuzuki Yukari). The track first appeared on Nejishiki's 2017 album sissy songs before being added to maimai as part of the MiLK update on June 5, 2018. The title is a stylized rendering of "Freedom Lolita," and the lyrics paint a dark, poetic portrait of a dysfunctional, codependent relationship, weaving imagery of mismatched puzzle pieces, festering wounds, and a "croquembouche of lies" (a tower of cream puffs used as a metaphor for piled-up deception). The song's music video was created by Danjo Sora.
In the rhythm game sphere, フリィダム ロリィタ also crossed over into CHUNITHM AMAZON (December 2018), which uses a longer, distinct audio cut compared to the maimai version. Within maimai, the Master chart has seen multiple level revisions over the game's version history: debuting at 11+ in MiLK, it was raised to 12 in UNiVERSE+, and eventually settled at 12+ (constant 12.6) from BUDDiES+ onward. The Expert chart was designed by LabiLabi and the Master chart by 玉子豆腐 (Tamagodoufu), both established figures in the maimai charting community. A human cover by Senra (センラ) was released alongside the original VOCALOID version.
