Overview
Got more raves? is a crossover track contributed to maimai ORANGE from TAITO's rhythm game GROOVE COASTER EX, as part of the first Tenkaichi Otogesai (天下一音ゲ祭) inter-machine exchange event in 2014. Composed under the alias E.G.G., the song was initially credited to a masked artist, later revealed during a ZUNTATA broadcast to be COSIO, a long-time TAITO composer and member of ZUNTATA. The title itself is an anagram of "Groove master?", a playful nod to its parent franchise.
Musically, Got more raves? stands out for its refusal to settle into a single time signature. The intro opens in 6/8, the verse pivots through 11/8 and 10/8, and the chorus alternates between 5/8 and 6/8. At 266 BPM, the track constantly shifts feel, demanding that players trust their internal sense of groove rather than a predictable beat. The MASTER chart, designed by はっぴー (Happy), reinforces this ethos by recreating the signature "butterfly slide" pattern from GROOVE COASTER in its final section, a sequence of Tap-to-Slide transitions that rewards players who let the rhythm guide them. The EXPERT chart, designed by 某S氏, also provides a demanding gate at level 12+.
Over the course of maimai's version history, Got more raves? has seen several difficulty re-evaluations, reflecting its enduring place as a challenging standard chart. Its Expert chart began at level 10 in ORANGE and climbed to 12+ by UNiVERSE+, while the Master chart rose from 12 to 14 across DX revisions. The song has been remixed by xi (Yusuke Ishiwata) for TAITO GAME MUSIC REMIXS, and an extended full version appears on the GROOVE COASTER original soundtrack.

Trivia
- Got more raves? is an anagram of "Groove master?", a wordplay on the GROOVE COASTER franchise name. It is the first entry in E.G.G.'s 'Got' series of anagram-titled songs.
- E.G.G. was the only masked representative artist in the first Tenkaichi Otogesai. The identity behind the alias was confirmed as COSIO (a TAITO ZUNTATA composer) during a ZUNTATA NIGHT 8 broadcast, which coincided with COSIO's announcement of his departure from TAITO and ZUNTATA.
- Despite the COSIO reveal, a tweet from COSIO himself has ambiguously suggested that COSIO and E.G.G. may not be the same person, leaving the relationship semi-official in fan circles.
- The song avoids a fixed time signature throughout: the intro uses 6/8, the A-melody section alternates between 11/8 and 10/8, and the chorus shifts between 5/8 and 6/8, making it one of the most rhythmically complex tracks in the maimai ORANGE era.
- The MASTER chart's ending sequence, four sets of Tap→Slide patterns followed by vertical double taps, directly recreates the 'butterfly slide' mechanic from GROOVE COASTER, the song's game of origin.
- Got more raves? was initially available only in AOU-member arcades from October 29, 2014, with general (and international) release following on February 16, 2015.
- A remix by xi (Yusuke Ishiwata), titled Got more raves? -xiRemix-, appears on the TAITO GAME MUSIC REMIXS album and was later added to GROOVE COASTER 4 STARLIGHT ROAD, as well as being ported to SEGA's ongeki.
- An acoustic arrangement, Got more raves? -Acostical 4piece version-, is included on E.G.G.'s first album Everything Get Groove.
- The full-length version, Got more raves? -Full Ver.-, appears on the GROOVE COASTER original soundtrack.
- Alongside maimai, Got more raves? was simultaneously added to KONAMI's jubeat saucer fulfill and Bandai Namco's Taiko no Tatsujin: Kimidori Version as part of the cross-machine event.
