INTERNET YAMERO (インターネットやめろ), maimai DX BUDDiES PLUS Song

All songs

Overview

INTERNET YAMERO is a propulsive J-pop/electronica track born from the collaboration of South Korean producer Aiobahn (Kim Min-hyuk) and veteran singer KOTOKO, written as the second theme song for the visual novel NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE (also released as NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD). The song follows its predecessor INTERNET OVERDOSE, deepening the story of Ame-chan, a streamer caught in the addictive cycle of online validation. At 185 BPM, the track layers crisp synth arpeggios, driving bass, and KOTOKO's bright yet urgent vocals, while Nyarla's lyrics weave internet slang, meme culture, and raw emotional confession into a portrait of digital-age angst. The song first appeared in a rhythm game on ONGEKI bright MEMORY in October 2023 before arriving in maimai DX as part of the BUDDiES PLUS update on March 21, 2024, where it was added to the POPS & ANIME category across Japanese, International, and Chinese regions simultaneously. Its Re:MASTER chart, designed by サファ太 (Safata), is notable for its extreme density, especially the 200 Break notes, the highest count documented on any Re:MASTER chart in the maimai DX series as of the BUDDiES PLUS era. The song later crossed over into CHUNITHM LUMINOUS in April 2024, cementing its presence across all three of SEGA's major arcade rhythm game platforms.

Trivia

INTERNET YAMERO is a direct sequel to INTERNET OVERDOSE, with both songs serving as theme tracks for the visual novel NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE (NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD).
The lyrics were written by Nyarla and are written from the perspective of the Internet Angel (インターネット・エンジェル), the digital persona of the protagonist Ame-chan. The text is saturated with Japanese internet slang such as 'キボンヌ' (kibonnu), 'オワタ' (owata), '禿同' (hage-dou), and '香具師' (yashi).
The Re:MASTER chart for INTERNET YAMERO holds the record for the highest Break-note count (200) of any Re:MASTER chart in the maimai DX series as of the BUDDiES PLUS update.
Aiobahn (Kim Min-hyuk) is a South Korean composer and producer known for contributing to numerous rhythm-game soundtracks including maimai, CHUNITHM, and DanceDanceRevolution. KOTOKO is a veteran Japanese singer whose career spans anime openings, visual novel themes, and game music since the early 2000s.
The official music video was directed by TOHRU MiTSUHASHi and 前田地生, featuring the same visual aesthetic as NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE's pixel-art style.
In the maimai DX BUDDiES PLUS deluxe collection, players can earn a series of themed titles referencing the source game, including '初めてフォローされた日のこと覚えてる' (I remember the day I was first followed) for playing with two or more players, and 'インターネットやめろ' (Stop the Internet) for finishing a play with exactly one MISS.
A silver title 'インターネットやれ' (Do the Internet) can be obtained by playing INTERNET YAMERO, INTERNET OVERDOSE, and the バカ通信 song in a single credit, linking the two NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE themes together.
The song was first released as a single in 2023 before being added to rhythm games. Its simultaneous launch in maimai DX BUDDiES PLUS and ONGEKI bright MEMORY made it one of the few tracks to debut on two SEGA rhythm game platforms during the same update window.
In the Chinese version of maimai, INTERNET YAMERO was added to 舞萌DX 2025 at its launch.
