Overview

Kinda Way is a house-infused original track by good-cool (Tatsuya Furukawa) featuring Pete Klassen on vocals, added to maimai MiLK on February 20, 2018. The song carries significance beyond its mellow, mid-tempo 127 BPM groove: it represents Furukawa's first-ever composition for a rhythm game outside of KONAMI's BEMANI series, where he had long been a fixture with contributions to beatmania IIDX, pop'n music, and other titles. The track originally debuted as a Survival Course exclusive (the "おなじみアーティストランダムコース" course), then became unlockable with five Cheese from March 20, 2018, before receiving normal distribution on June 21, 2018. The music video was produced by MiRA, and an extended version appears on good-cool's seventh album Fabulous Housekeeper as well as the maimai ALL PERFECT COLLECTiON compilation. Genre-wise, the song was filed under ORIGINAL & JOYPOLIS from MiLK through FiNALE before moving to the maimai category in でらっくすPLUS, where it remains. Its Expert chart was designed by はっぴー and its Master chart by すきやき奉行, with the Master chart carrying a level constant of 12.9, the highest among this song's four Standard difficulties.
