Overview
"Jouez Avec Moi?" is a maimai original song introduced in the UNiVERSE PLUS update on August 5, 2022. The track is the work of Retropolitaliens, a collaborative unit formed by composer Ms. and vocalist 駄々子 (Dadaco), the latter having previously lent her voice to another maimai original, "星めぐり、果ての君へ。" The title is French for "Play with me?", a fitting invitation that ties directly into the song's toy-rebellion story within the 7sRef area narrative.
The song sits at 162 BPM with a whimsical, theatrical arrangement that mirrors its storybook theme. The jacket art and accompanying movie by HDLV reinforce the toy-box aesthetic. In the game's lore, the piece is tied to the 7sRef Area 2 (7sRefちほー2) storyline, where toys that have lost their child owners begin a rampage, and the gatekeeper Gelptedy (herself a toy) watches the chaos unfold before order is restored by Liz and her lantern light, a narrative vignette known as the flavor text (フレーバーテキスト) that plays during the song's unlock sequence.
