Overview
ギリギリ最強あいまいみー！ is the high-energy ending theme of the 2013 short-form anime series あいまいみー (Ai-Mai-Mi), a gag comedy centered on three girls in a manga club. The track brings together the three principal voice actresses, Yuka Otsubo as Ai, Aya Uchida as Mai, and Maaya Uchida as Mi, trading off rapid-fire, nonsensical lyrics that mirror the show's manic comedy. What elevates the song beyond a conventional anime ED is the presence of Marty Friedman, former lead guitarist of Megadeth, whose distorted guitar work cuts through the bright J-pop arrangement and gives the tune an unexpected metallic bite. The composition and arrangement were handled by Fuga Hatori, with lyrics penned by a-master.
The song joined the maimai arcade lineup as part of the MiLK version on February 20, 2018, categorized under POPS＆アニメ. At 185 BPM and a compact 1:45 runtime, the track translates into a brisk, note-dense charting experience. The Master chart in particular, designed by Revo@LC, packs 755 notes with a heavy emphasis on Slide patterns (127 slides), earning it a level 13+ rating that demands both speed and spatial awareness. In its original MiLK iteration, the song featured a unique in-game movie that intercut the anime's ending animation with clips from the series itself; this was replaced with a static jacket image from maimai でらっくす onward.
