Overview

ガランド (Garando) is a VOCALOID original song by Japanese producer ピコン (Picon), featuring Hatsune Miku on vocals. Released for maimai でらっくす Splash on October 1, 2020, the track sits at a languid 93 BPM, unusually slow for a rhythm-game staple, which gives its MASTER chart a distinctive, deliberate pacing. Picon wrote and produced the song's composition, arrangement, and lyrics, and also created the accompanying music video. The lyrics paint a fragmented, surreal inner monologue, mixing nonsense phrases like "ボビデバビデンベッデボン" with darker imagery of drying brains, detergent, fisheyes, and cries for release ("キルミーして!"). The English interjections ("All my love / said it don't") and scattered English words ("lonely?", "ronin?", "morning?", "sorry?") give the track a disoriented, stream-of-consciousness feel that matches the woozy, lo-fi production. In maimai, ガランド is notable for its charting history. The MASTER chart originally debuted at level 12+ in Splash through BUDDiES PLUS, then was elevated to level 13 starting with PRiSM, reflecting the chart's true demand. The Expert chart (level 9+, designed by 某S氏) features a heavy Touch-note emphasis with 63 Touch notes out of 377 total, while the MASTER chart (designed by はっぴー) is praised for its unusual rhythm patterns that mirror the song's off-kilter vocal phrasing.

Trivia

  • Picon (ピコン) is a Japanese VOCALOID producer and illustrator known for melancholic, lo-fi productions. ガランド is one of his earlier works to appear in a major rhythm game.
  • The MASTER chart was originally level 12+ from maimai DX Splash through BUDDiES PLUS, and was re-rated to level 13 starting with maimai DX PRiSM, a rare upward revision that acknowledges the chart's genuine difficulty.
  • A cover version of ガランド by the popular singer Eve (also a VOCALOID producer and vocalist) has been released, expanding the song's reach beyond the rhythm-game community.
  • The Expert chart (designed by 某S氏) has an unusually high Touch-note count, 63 of 377 total notes, making it a standout among level 9+ charts for players on DX cabinets.
  • The Japanese lyrics contain the recurring nonsense phrase 'ボビデバビデンベッデボン' (bobidebabidenbeddebon), which evokes a disjointed, almost taunting rhythmic quality that mirrors the song's chaotic emotional state.
  • The line 'No. 10884' in the lyrics is a cryptic numerical reference whose meaning has been speculated about by fans but not officially explained by Picon.
  • In the Asian version of maimai DX, ガランド was added later on February 12, 2021, and in the Chinese version (舞萌DX 2021) it arrived on December 10, 2021.
  • Despite its slow BPM of 93, ガランド's MASTER chart demands precise timing and rhythmic comprehension, as the note density is patterned around the song's deliberate, off-beat vocal delivery rather than a steady pulse.
