Overview

幾四音-Ixion- (romanized as IKUSHION-Ixion- in Asian English releases) is a high-energy original track by M.S.S Project, the Japanese gaming and music collective best known for their Minecraft content and earlier maimai contribution M.S.S.Planet. This song was composed, arranged, and written by FB777 with vocals by fellow member KIKKUN-MK-II, marking M.S.S Project's first original commission for the geki-chuu-mai series (ONGEKI, CHUNITHM, and maimai). It debuted in CHUNITHM before arriving in maimai PiNK on December 9, 2015 as part of the ONGEKI & CHUNITHM crossover category. The title itself is a deliberate kanji wordplay: 幾 (iku, "several") + 四 (shi, "four") + 音 (on, "sound") combine to phonetically produce "ikushion," homophonous with Ixion, the figure from Greek mythology bound to a flaming wheel. The lyrics reinforce this mythological bent, invoking "ultimate power" (究極の力) against imagery of a broken world and suffocating noise. The jacket illustration features the character 常世のサツキ (Tokoyo no Satsuki), drawn by U10 with video production by 鑓田(alpha complex). In maimai, 幾四音-Ixion- is most noted for its MASTER chart (level 13, constant 13.3) designed by rioN, which challenges players with six recurring three-note Break streams that erupt just before each chorus at the song's relentless 210 BPM. The EXPERT chart (level 10+, constant 10.6), designed by ロシェ@ペンギン (Rocher@penguin), offers a demanding entry point to the song's dense patterning. The track has undergone several level adjustments across maimai versions, with the MASTER chart rising from 11+ at launch to its current 13 from Splash onward.
