Overview
腐れ外道とチョコレゐト (Kusare gedou to Chocolate) is a Vocaloid track by Pinocchio-P (ピノキオP) featuring Hatsune Miku, originally released on the 2011 compilation album EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalonation feat. 初音ミク. The song joined maimai on day one of maimai PLUS (December 13, 2012), making it among the earliest Vocaloid offerings in the series' catalog.
The title plays with archaic orthography, using the obsolete kana ゐ (wi) in チョコレゐト, and translates loosely to "Rotten Villain and Chocolate." Lyrically, the song skewers the human appetite for gossip and scandal, likening malicious rumors to sweet, addictive confectionery. Pinocchio-P's signature blend of pop melody and biting social commentary drives forward at a relentless 260 BPM, with Miku's processed vocals darting through rapid couplets and a chanted refrain. The maimai edit clocks in at roughly 2:08.
Within the maimai series, the song's MASTER chart, designed by はっぴー (Happy), commands attention for its 62 Slide notes packed into a 598-note total at maximum tempo, earning a difficulty constant of 13.7. The EXPERT chart, laid out by ニャイン (Nyain), offers a demanding but more attainable 12.7 experience. Both charts have climbed steadily in level through the game's version history. The song also received a refreshed jacket illustration starting with maimai でらっくす, replacing the original artwork.
