Overview

星めぐり、果ての君へ。 (Hoshi meguri, hate no kimi e.) is a maimai original song by composer TAKU1175 featuring vocalist Dadaco, first appearing in the maimai DX Splash PLUS update on May 28, 2021. It forms a narrative diptych with the earlier maimai original REAL VOICE: the music video, created by tomo of Nanogram Co., Ltd., depicts the character Momo time-leaping, while the in-game flavor text expands the story into a scene where Tokiya confesses a long-buried regret, abandoning his musical dreams under family pressure, uploading a single song only to delete it when discovered, and later hearing it playing unexpectedly in a public square. Against cherry blossoms falling like snow, he hands Momo a CD-ROM and vows to choose his own path this time. Composer TAKU1175 (Yamaguchi Takuya, also active under the alias 山口たこ) is a freelance musician who has written opening themes for TV anime, while Dadaco debuted through a SOUND VOLTEX music-contest entry and has since become a fixture across multiple rhythm-game franchises. Their collaboration on this track produces an emotional pop-meets-J-rock sound at 175 BPM, with lyrics about stumbling and rising again, reaching toward a shared future, and weaving memories into a star-bound journey. The song was initially locked behind a distance-grind in the Sky Street Area 2 (requiring 36 km traveled) before becoming generally available in the UNiVERSE PLUS update. Its five DX charts span Basic through Re:Master, the latter added during the FESTiVAL era and designed by Jack. The song also crossed over into CHUNITHM NEW PLUS and ONGEKI bright MEMORY. A direct narrative sequel, 果ての空、僕らが見た光。 (Hate no sora, bokura ga mita hikari.), later appeared in maimai DX PRiSM, continuing the story of these characters under an open sky.
