Overview
Idoratrize World is a high-energy Touhou Project arrangement by the long-running doujin circle A-One, remixing the final stage boss theme from 東方鬼形獣 〜 Wily Beast and Weakest Creature (Touhou 17). The original theme, titled 偶像に世界を委ねて 〜 Idoratrize World, was composed by ZUN (Team Shanghai Alice) and serves as the final boss theme of that game. A-One's version reimagines it as a hard-hitting electronic track with layered synthesizers, driving beats, and call-and-response vocals between Takahito "Rute" Koshida and aki. The arrangement was handled by ELEMENTAS and DJ Command, two pillars of the A-One sound, with lyrics penned by Rute that weave the original theme's motifs of idols, faith, and fantasy into a rave anthem. The song was first released on A-One's 2024 album Idoratrize World before crossing into rhythm games via maimai DX PRiSM PLUS on March 13, 2025, and later CHUNITHM X-VERSE. In maimai, the MASTER chart, designed by 鳩ホルダー at level 13.3, features dense Slide and Touch patterns that mirror the track's relentless energy, while Luxizhel's EXPERT chart provides a challenging gate at level 10.
