Overview
Jumping!! is the opening theme song of the Kin-iro Mosaic (きんいろモザイク) anime, performed by Rhodanthe*, a voice actor unit comprising the five main cast members: Asuka Nishi (Shin Omiya), Manami Tanaka (Alice Cartalet), Risa Taneda (Aya Komichi), Yumi Uchiyama (Yoko Inokuma), and Nao Toyama (Karen Kujo). The track was composed by Meis Clauson, arranged by Hiroshi Uesugi, and written by lyricist yuiko, originally released as a double A-side single alongside "Your Voice" in 2013. An upbeat, cheerful pop number at 175 BPM, its bright melody and encouraging lyrics about facing challenges with a smile mirror the slice-of-life warmth of the anime itself.
Jumping!! entered the maimai arcade series during the MURASAKi edition on March 23, 2017, and remained in the library until its removal on July 11, 2019. Its MASTER chart, designed by Revo@LC, leans heavily on Slide notes (80 of 451 total) at a difficulty constant of 10.6, while the EXPERT chart by rioN offers a more evenly distributed 363-note arrangement. Outside maimai, the song also appeared in Sega's CHUNITHM AIR PLUS as part of a Kin-iro Mosaic collaboration event, later becoming permanently unlockable. In maimai, the song uses gameplay background footage from Miracle Girls Festival rather than the anime's own opening sequence, an unusual choice for a licensed anime song.
