Overview

ほしぞらスペクタクル (Hoshizora Spectacle) is a maimai original song composed by 奏音 (Kanon), released for maimai DX Splash PLUS on July 21, 2021. It is a direct sequel to the artist's earlier piece ほしぞらトラベル (Hoshizora Travel), which originally appeared in C4Cat's mobile rhythm game Dynamix rather than in maimai itself. Both tracks share a sparkling, high-energy soundscape anchored by a brisk 200 BPM tempo. The song carries an in-game narrative about twin shrine maidens, Telus (テルス) and Melk (メルク), belonging to a star-worshipping people. When the Earth sinks beneath the waters, the sisters merge with stars and transcend into new cosmic beings called "Dependancy," watching over the reborn planet from the heavens, a mythological framing reflected in the song's sweeping, celestial melody. 奏音 is a composer who also performs as part of the musical unit Citrus and Ocean Colour. For some time, 奏音 was thought to be entirely unrelated to 大国奏音 (Kanon Oguni), the composer behind the maimai track 封焔の135秒. However, social-media activity around the KALEIDXSCOPE event has since hinted at a possible connection between the two namesakes, leaving the relationship ambiguous even among dedicated fans. The MASTER chart, designed by シチミヘルツ at a level constant of 14.4, is notably dense with Touch notes, 202 out of 1,179 total, making it one of the more touch-intensive level-14 charts in the game. The EXPERT chart was handled by 隅田川星人. In maimai DX PRiSM (February 2025), an UTAGE (宴) chart was added under the punning title ほしだけスペクタクル (Hoshidake Spectacle, "Stars-Only Spectacle"), a sharp contrast to the standard charts: it uses only Tap and Slide notes, with zero Holds, Touches, or Breaks.

Trivia

  • ほしぞらスペクタクル is a direct sequel to ほしぞらトラベル (Hoshizora Travel), an earlier composition by 奏音 that originally appeared in C4Cat's mobile rhythm game Dynamix, not in the maimai series.
  • The composer 奏音 (Kanon) is also a member of the musical unit Citrus and Ocean Colour. For some time, 奏音 was believed to be a different artist from 大国奏音 (Kanon Oguni), who contributed 封焔の135秒 to maimai. However, social-media activity surrounding the KALEIDXSCOPE event has since hinted that the two may in fact be the same person.
  • The song's flavor text tells a story of twin shrine maidens, Telus and Melk, who merge with stars after the Earth is submerged, becoming beings called 'Dependancy' who watch over the new world from space.
  • In maimai DX Splash PLUS, the song was initially unlocked by accumulating 777 km of total distance in the kawaii area (kawaiiちほー). It became available by default starting with maimai DX UNiVERSE PLUS in March 2022.
  • An UTAGE (宴) chart was added in maimai DX PRiSM on February 14, 2025. It is titled ほしだけスペクタクル (Hoshidake Spectacle), a wordplay combining the song's title with 星だけ (hoshidake, 'only stars'). The chart contains exclusively Tap and Slide notes, 1,127 Tap and 69 Slide, with zero Hold, Touch, or Break notes, making it a radical departure from the standard charts.
  • At level 14.4, the MASTER chart by シチミヘルツ features 202 Touch notes out of 1,179 total. This high Touch-note density is unusual for a level-14 chart and makes the chart a standout for players who enjoy maimai DX's touch-input mechanics.
  • The song's jacket illustration was created by BerryVerrine, with video production by yoshimo.
  • The EXPERT chart was designed by 隅田川星人 (Sumidagawa Seijin), a notes designer associated with several maimai original charts including other kawaii-area tracks.
