All songs

Overview

"Jimang Shot" is a Touhou Project arrange track by じまんぐ (JIMANG), a vocalist and arranger best known among fans as a support member of Sound Horizon, a connection that earned him the epithet "胡散臭い" (suspicious / shady) in the community. The song is a remix of "Necrofantasia" (ネクロファンタジア), the Phantasm Stage boss theme of *東方妖々夢～ Perfect Cherry Blossom*, the seventh mainline Touhou game by ZUN (Team Shanghai Alice).

The arrangement first appeared on "流麗祭彩" (Ryurei Saishi), a official compilation arrange CD distributed at the 6th Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai (the largest Touhou fan convention), and was later collected on JIMANG's *BEST ALBUM BUST*. The version used in maimai (and fellow SEGA rhythm game CHUNITHM) is a self-cover, subsequently released on *JIMANG Self Cover 2015*. Its lyrics weave imagery around Yukari Yakumo, the "purple Lady" of the border between fantasy and reality, mixing Touhou lore with a love-song framework and capping off with the community-famous punchline "ゆっくりしていってね！！" ("Please take it easy!!").

Added to maimai PiNK on May 12, 2016, "Jimang Shot" charts span from Basic (level 6) to Master (level 13, designed by Jack), with the Expert chart crafted by ロシェ@ペンギン. The song has been re-leveled multiple times across maimai versions, reflecting its enduring presence in the arcade rotation.
