Overview
LAMIA is an instrumental hardcore-electronic composition by BlackY, originally created for SEGA's オンゲキ rhythm game series. The track debuted in オンゲキ R.E.D. PLUS on September 16, 2021, and later crossed into maimai DX as part of the ONGEKI & CHUNITHM collaboration catalog, arriving in FESTiVAL PLUS on September 1, 2023. At 199 BPM, the piece is defined by relentless synth arpeggios, aggressive kick patterns, and dramatic structural shifts, hallmarks of BlackY's production style seen across multiple rhythm game franchises.
Beyond maimai, LAMIA has become one of the most widely circulated tracks to emerge from the オンゲキ catalog. It appears in CHUNITHM SUN PLUS, received a LUNATIC chart in オンゲキ bright MEMORY during an April 2024 event, and was later licensed for lowiro's Arcaea and NEOWIZ's DJMAX RESPECT V. In maimai, the MASTER chart (level 14+, constant 14.7) designed under the collective pseudonym 譜面ボーイズからの挑戦状 ('Challenge from the Chart Boys') is notable for its precisely constructed note total of exactly 999, one short of a thousand, placing high demands on stamina and precision at its blistering tempo.
