Overview
イタ電はやめて！ ぼくらのスカーレット・コール (Stop Prank Calls! Our Scarlet Call) is a Touhou Project arrange song by 七条レタスグループ (Nanajou Lettuce Group), added to maimai でらっくす CiRCLE on February 20, 2026 as a Japan-exclusive track. It is the second entry in the group's "スカーレット警察" (Scarlet Police) series, a recurring set of comedic songs built around a parody hotline staffed by the residents of Gensokyo. The track features a full vocal cast, ココ (Innocent Key), 96, 岩杉夏, and 愛原千尋 (天然ジェミニ), performing a call-and-response skit about lonely citizens dialing the Scarlet Police's chat line late at night. Arrangement and lyrics were handled by D.watt (IOSYS), with the music video produced by 216 (office-φ). The song originally appeared on the 2016 IOSYS compilation album 東方極楽湯界 ─イオシス東方コンピレーション vol.24─, based on Flandre Scarlet's stage theme "ツェペシュの幼き末裔" (Young Descendant of Tepes) from 東方紅魔郷. In the maimai community, the song is most notable for its MASTER chart, which contains 744 Touch notes, the highest count of any chart in the game and over double that of the previous record holder, 火炎地獄.

Trivia
- The song is an arrangement of "ツェペシュの幼き末裔" (Young Descendant of Tepes), the Stage 6 boss theme of Flandre Scarlet from 東方紅魔郷 ～ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (2002).
- 七条レタスグループ's Scarlet Police series uses a recurring premise: a parody hotline called the "Scarlet Call" that lets lonely Gensokyo residents chat with police officers around the clock. This song is the second installment in that series.
- The MASTER chart, designed by はっぴー (Happy), contains 744 Touch notes out of a total 1,139, roughly 65.3% of the maximum combo. This is the highest Touch note count of any chart in maimai as of its release, more than double the second-place song 火炎地獄.
- The EXPERT chart was designed by サファ太 (Safata).
- The lyrics are written as a humorous scripted phone call, opening with the operator answering "Hello, this is the Scarlet Police... What!? A wrong number?!" and escalating through absurd complaints, a sleeping officer, and officers who would rather not deal with an actual burglary.
- Playing the song once earns the title "はいこちらスカーレット警察" (Hello, This Is the Scarlet Police). Clearing all difficulties with FULL SYNC DX earns the comically long title "助けを求めるマイマイマーの声を深夜でも漏らさずキャッチするゲキチュウマイ譜面サポートセンター" (GeKiChuMai Chart Support Center That Catches the Voices of Maimai Players Seeking Help Even Late at Night).
- The music video was produced by 216 (office-φ) and features original animation accompanying the song's skit-style narrative.
- The song is exclusive to Japanese-region maimai DX cabinets as of its debut in the CiRCLE edition.
- The vocalists include members associated with the Touhou doujin circle Innocent Key (ココ) and the unit 天然ジェミニ (愛原千尋), alongside 96 and 岩杉夏, giving the track a layered ensemble sound.
