Overview
"ラヴィ" (Lavie) is a VOCALOID track by producer すりぃ (suriii), featuring the voice of 鏡音レン (Kagamine Len). The song was originally composed as the character theme for Lovey Chouchoumarchou (ラヴィ・ショウチョウマルチョウ), a vampire-themed hero from the competitive team-battle mobile game #コンパス (#COMPASS / Nihon no Compass). Its title is a deliberate wordplay, "ラヴィ" phonetically echoes the character's name "Lovey" while also evoking the French phrase "la vie" (life), a fitting double meaning for a song about vitality, bloodlust, and defiance. The music video was produced by よしだなすび and SPIKE, pairing the track's high-energy visuals with suriii's characteristically punchy, synth-driven production at 183 BPM. Len's sharp, staccato vocal delivery channels the character's brash and predatory personality, with lyrics cycling through themes of incompetence (無能), hunger for validation, and a refusal to back down, matching Lovey's in-game persona as a relentless fighter. The song made its rhythm game debut in maimai でらっくす BUDDiES PLUS on July 19, 2024, and launched simultaneously in CHUNITHM X-VERSE, making it a cross-title VOCALOID addition backed by Sega's two flagship arcade rhythm series.
