Overview

Aipai Dance Hall (愛包ダンスホール) is a pop song by the Virtual YouTuber duo HIMEHINA, their 14th single overall. Originally released as a standalone album in 2023, the track joined maimai DX PRiSM on September 12, 2024 as part of the arcade version's launch lineup across Japan and Asia. It also appears in SEGA's CHUNITHM VERSE. The title is a playful coinage: 愛 (ai, "love") merged with 包 (hō, "wrap" or "bundle") creates aipai, evoking a "love-wrapped dance hall" where people and emotions converge on the dance floor. The lyrics, written by Gohgo, weave together themes of love, longing, and human connection with whimsical, almost surreal imagery, from π (3.1415926535) as a metaphor for irreducible feelings, to toasters, evolutionary tableaus, and Wi-Fi networks. The music was co-composed by Shinji Suzuki and Gohgo, with Suzuki handling the arrangement, resulting in a bright, driving pop production at 141 BPM that matches the duo's energetic and witty vocal delivery. In maimai, Aipai Dance Hall sits in the POPS & ANIME category with DX charts across all four difficulties. The Expert chart was designed by サファ太 (Safata) and the Master chart by アマリリス (amaryllis). An English-language version of the song has also been released outside of the rhythm game ecosystem.
