Overview

秘密の扉から会いにきて (Himitsu no Door kara Ai ni Kite) is a pop song by Japanese voice actress and singer Yukari Tamura, released as her 24th single in 2014. The music was composed by Masatomo Ota with lyrics penned by Aki Hata, both well-known figures in the anime song scene. The track was used as the opening theme for the television anime のうりん (No-Rin), a comedy series about agricultural high school students, and its upbeat, energetic arrangement, driven by a steady 184 BPM, captures the show's lighthearted rural-school atmosphere. The song joined the maimai arcade series during the PiNK era on January 7, 2016, under the POPS & ANIME genre. Its initial release carried a typographical error in the title (秘密の扉から会いに来て instead of the correct 会いにきて), which was fixed in the PiNK PLUS update. Two chart designers contributed to the song's playable arrangements: mai-Star handled the Expert chart, and Revo@LC took on the Master chart, which features a notably high Slide-note count of 120, a signature trait of Revo@LC's style. The song was ultimately removed from rotation on June 21, 2018, making it one of the legacy tracks inaccessible on modern cabinets. In Asian English-localized versions of maimai, the title is romanised as HIMITSUNO DOOR KARA AINI KITE and the artist as Yukari Tamura "NOURIN".
