Overview

"創聖のアクエリオン" (Sōsei no Aquarion) is the opening theme of the 2005 mecha-anime series Genesis of Aquarion (創聖のアクエリオン). The maimai version is credited to AKINO[cover]— the same vocalist who originally performed the song for the anime, here delivering a game-specific recording. The track arrived in maimai during the GreeN edition (released July 11, 2013) under the POPS&アニメ genre (categorized as アニメ prior to the ORANGE PLUS update). It was later removed from the arcade lineup on June 30, 2016, making it one of the early deleted songs in the series' history. The song is known for its soaring, dramatic melody and the repeated refrain of "愛してる" (aisuru / "I love you"), which became a widely recognized hook in Japanese pop culture. Notably, as the Japanese wiki observes, many Japanese players encountered the track not through the anime itself but through looped pachinko-machine commercials that used the song, giving it a distinctive second life in the public consciousness. In maimai, the Master chart (level 10, designed by はっぴー) stands out for its dense Slide-note patterns, 109 out of 341 total notes are Slides, an unusually high proportion for a GreeN-era chart and a hallmark of the designer's style.

Trivia

  • The song was removed from maimai on June 30, 2016, meaning it is no longer playable on current arcade versions. It belongs to the set of early deleted tracks that predate the DX era.
  • It was added in maimai GreeN, the series' third arcade iteration, and was the first version to introduce the GreeN branding that continued through several subsequent editions.
  • Until the ORANGE PLUS version, the in-game genre was simply 'アニメ' (Anime). It was recategorized to 'POPS&アニメ' (POPS & Anime) starting with ORANGE PLUS, reflecting a broader regrouping of the song library.
  • The Expert chart was designed by mai-Star, a notes designer who contributed frequently to early maimai titles. The Master chart was designed by はっぴー (Happy), a long-time maimai charter known for creative note layouts.
  • The Master chart contains 109 Slide notes, nearly a third of its 341 total notes, making it an unusually slide-heavy chart for a song from the GreeN era, when Master charts tended to emphasize Tap patterns.
  • According to the Japanese wiki, many players associate the song more strongly with pachinko machine commercials than with the original anime, as the commercial looped the chorus extensively during the late 2000s and early 2010s.
