Overview
"花となれ" (Hana to nare, "Become a Flower") is a Vocaloid-style track by producer 雄之助 (Yunosuke), featuring the voicebank KAFU (可不) developed by 音楽的同位体 (Music-related Identical Entity). The song debuted in maimai でらっくす FESTiVAL PLUS on May 26, 2023, and was later added to CHUNITHM SUN PLUS in July of the same year, marking a rare cross-title appearance for a single original track.
Composed and arranged by Yunosuke with lyrics penned by Gyuuniku, the song originally appeared on the compilation album SINSEKAI STUDIO SAMPLER Vol. 1 released in 2022. The music video was created by the artists にへ and そゐち. Clocking in at 1:45, the piece is built around a steady 130 BPM foundation with bright synth leads and a driving pop-rock arrangement that complements KAFU's clear, expressive vocal synthesis.
In maimai, the MASTER chart (level 12, constant 12.2) was designed by はっぴー (Happy) and features a notably high Touch-note count of 62 alongside 82 Slide notes, making extensive use of the DX cabinet's touch sensor mechanics. The EXPERT chart (level 8+, constant 8.6) was designed by アマリリス (amaryllis). A title unlock is available for earning SSS rank on EXPERT: "奏でる全ての心よ花となれ" ("May all the hearts that play become flowers"), directly referencing the song's central theme of musical expression blossoming into something larger than itself.
