Overview
ひみつをちょーだい (Himitsu wo Choudai, roughly "Give Me Your Secret") is a pop track by the six-member Japanese dance-vocal unit ARSMAGNA (アルスマグナ). The song served as the opening theme for the 2015 anime television series 実は私は (My Monster Secret), a romantic comedy built around students hiding supernatural identities from one another, a premise that echoes in the song's playful, secretive lyrics and buoyant arrangement. The music was co-composed by mitsuyuki miyake (best known as a core member of the influential hip-hop/electronic group m-flo) alongside Hiroto Suzuki, who also handled the arrangement. ARSMAGNA itself, a six-vocalist group styled around a "fantasy school" concept, made this track their major debut single, released on the album of the same name in 2015. In maimai, ひみつをちょーだい was added during the PiNK era and originally sat in the POPS & ANIME genre before being moved to niconico & VOCALOID from PiNK PLUS onward. The song was delisted from arcade cabinets on December 13, 2018, making it one of the earlier removals from the maimai catalog. Its MASTER chart, designed by the pseudonymous 某S氏, is notable for a dense Slide-note count (65 slides out of 423 total notes) that gives the 9+ level chart a flowing, pattern-rich feel.
