Overview
廃墟にいますキャンペーン (Haikyo ni Imasu Campaign, officially localized in its music video as "The Ruin in the Woods") is a maimai original song composed, arranged, and written by Yasei Yoshida (吉田夜世) with vocals by Chick. (ちっく。) and a music video by 淘々. The track tells a darkly comic horror story: a desperate protagonist spots a suspicious help-wanted flyer on a utility pole advertising a ¥50,000 hourly wage for simply staying in a ruin. Despite scoffing at the blatant scam, she packs emergency rations and a flashlight and takes the bait, only to face a gauntlet of ghosts, giant snakes, mummies, fish-men, zombies, jesters, and a conspicuously strong horse. The lyrics end with the wry admission that her life has, indeed, changed.
The song entered maimai でらっくす CiRCLE on October 16, 2025 as the exclusive reward for the winning team (Salt) of Circle Festa Season 1. It became generally unlockable on November 20, 2025, and arrived in the Asian version on February 20, 2026. At a relentless 215 BPM, the track's frantic energy mirrors the protagonist's escalating predicament. The MASTER chart, designed by はっぴー, carries a level 13+ with a 13.9 difficulty constant, the ceiling of the 13+ band, and packs 879 notes including 153 Slide notes, making it a notably slide-heavy high-difficulty chart. The EXPERT chart, designed by Luxizhel, is rated 10+ (10.6).
