Overview
"Irresistible" is an original hardstyle composition by MK (Masakazu Kageyama) that debuted in maimai でらっくす UNiVERSE PLUS on May 27, 2022. The track was introduced as part of the Metropolis Area 5 (メトロポリスちほー5) event, initially requiring players to accumulate 35 km of travel distance within the area to unlock it, later becoming available by default from maimai でらっくす FESTiVAL PLUS onward. MK, who also operates under the alias Shadw, described the track's genre as hardstyle in a promotional tweet, fitting the high-energy electronic palette that characterizes many maimai original commissions. The song's jacket and accompanying movie were created by Taiyo Yamamoto and サム. "Irresistible" carries a flavor text narrative set in the game's Metropolis storyline, involving five machines (黒姫, 黒桜, 家菊, etc.) competing in a selection exam under the night sky of Metroporisu.
