Overview
はやくそれになりたい！ (localized as "I wanna be it!" in Asian English releases) is an energetic Vocaloid track by producer キノシタ (Kinoshita), featuring 音街ウナ (Otomachi Una). Added to maimai MiLK PLUS on November 20, 2018, the song embodies Kinoshita's signature bright, bouncy production style at a brisk 185 BPM. The lyrics playfully chase the excitement of becoming something new, whether a princess, a demon king, or anything imagined, anchored by the infectious refrain "あいわなびー！" (a Japanese-accented rendering of "I wanna be!"). Kinoshita also created the song's official music video, which visually matches the track's cheerful, colorful energy. In the maimai rhythm game, はやくそれになりたい！ is represented across five standard difficulties. The upper-tier charts each carry a distinct designer's touch: 華火職人 (Kanon Oguni) handled the Expert chart, 緑風 犬三郎 (Happy) designed the Master chart with a heavy Slide emphasis, and 玉子豆腐 (Tamagodoufu) crafted the Re:Master chart, a dense Lv13 arrangement packing 143 Slide notes and 43 Break notes into a demanding 758-note total. Over the course of maimai DX version updates, the song's chart levels were re-evaluated and raised, with the Master chart climbing from its original Lv10+ to Lv11+ and the Re:Master chart rising from Lv12 to Lv13, a reflection of how the community's understanding of its true difficulty evolved. Outside maimai, the track also appears in SEGA's CHUNITHM series, extending its reach beyond the maimai ecosystem.

Trivia
- はやくそれになりたい！ was added to maimai MiLK PLUS on November 20, 2018, with its Re:MASTER chart available from the very same day, an uncommon simultaneous release for Re:MASTER difficulties at the time.
- In Asian English versions of maimai, the song is localized as "I wanna be it!" by "kinoshita feat. Otomachi Una," making the English title a direct translation of the Japanese phrase "はやくそれになりたい！" ("I want to become that quickly!").
- The song's chart levels have been adjusted upward across multiple maimai DX versions. The Expert chart rose from Lv9 to Lv10+, the Master from Lv10+ to Lv11+, and the Re:Master from Lv12 to Lv13, one of the more pronounced level inflation trajectories in the maimai library.
- The lyric "あいわなびー！" (ai wa na bī) is a playful Japanese pronunciation approximation of the English phrase "I wanna be!" and doubles as the song's central hook and thematic motto.
- Beyond maimai, the track was also added to SEGA's CHUNITHM series, appearing in CHUNITHM AMAZON PLUS and later releases, making it a crossover Vocaloid song playable in two of SEGA's major arcade rhythm games.
- Each of the song's three highest difficulties was assigned to a different notes designer: 華火職人 (Kanon Oguni) for Expert, 緑風 犬三郎 (Happy) for Master, and 玉子豆腐 (Tamagodoufu) for Re:Master, giving each tier a distinct charting identity.
- The Re:Master chart by 玉子豆腐 features 143 Slide notes and 43 Break notes out of 758 total, making it a Slide-heavy, technically demanding chart at Lv13.
- Producer キノシタ (Kinoshita) handled composition, arrangement, lyrics, and the music video production, making the track a largely solo creation aside from the Otomachi Una vocal performance.
