Overview
いっしそう電☆舞舞神拳! (Isshisōden☆Maimai Shinken!) is the official theme song of maimai MURASAKi, composed by veteran rhythm-game creator satsuki ga tenkomori (さつき が てんこもり) and sung by YURiCa/花たん (Hanatan) at a brisk 185 BPM. Its title is a deliberate wordplay: いっしそう電 intentionally misspells 一子相伝 (isshisōden), a term for a secret martial-arts technique passed to a single heir, while 舞舞神拳 reads as "Maimai Divine Fist." The lyrics embrace the joke entirely, they narrate the player's own actions at the cabinet, calling out slide patterns ("12345のスライド, スライド"), rapid button sequences ("87654を連打, 連打"), and declaring with theatrical bravado that once you play, you automatically become a disciple. It is a song about playing maimai, written for maimai players, and delivered with a wink. The jacket art whimsically displays only "舞舞神拳," leaving the rest of the title to the imagination.
Released on December 15, 2016, the track debuted as MURASAKi's first Challenge Track, available only in the challenge slot from launch through December 28 before entering the regular song pool. In Asian English versions of maimai, the song was retitled "How to be maimai sinken master!" with the artist listed as TENKOMORI feat. YURiCa/HANATAN, a localization that leans further into the mock-instructional tone of the lyrics. The EXPERT chart was designed by the anonymous 某S氏, while the MASTER chart (level 13+, constant 13.7) was handled by はっぴー (Happy), who packed it with 217 Slide notes, a high count that gives the chart a distinctive, flowing character atypical for its era.

Trivia
- いっしそう電☆舞舞神拳! is the main theme of maimai MURASAKi, marking it as the first original theme song composed specifically for a maimai version since the series' debut.
- The title いっしそう電 is an intentional typo of 一子相伝 (isshisōden), meaning 'teaching to one child only', a secret martial-arts lineage. The 電 (den, 'electricity/lightning') is spliced in for a modern, flashy twist.
- On the jacket art, only the words 舞舞神拳 (Maimai Shinken) appear; the rest of the song title is omitted, reinforcing the joke that this is a sacred martial art called 'Maimai Divine Fist.'
- The song was added as MURASAKi's first Challenge Track at launch on December 15, 2016, and was initially only playable in the challenge slot until December 28. It was the only Challenge Track in MURASAKi completed by the community on the same day it launched.
- In Asian English versions of maimai, the title was localized to 'How to be maimai sinken master!', a humorous, instructional-sounding title that matches the song's mock-tutorial lyrics.
- The lyrics directly describe maimai gameplay as a martial-art discipline, calling out specific slide patterns (12345), rapid button sequences (87654), and the cabinet's atmosphere. The line '一度プレイしたら最後 / 門下生に勝手になってる' ('once you play, you'll automatically become a disciple') closes the conceit.
- Character design and video production for the song were handled by GODTAIL and かっつー.
- The MASTER chart, designed by はっぴー, features 217 Slide notes, roughly a quarter of its total 868-note count, giving it an unusually slide-heavy profile for a MURASAKi-era 13+ chart.
