LiftOff is an instrumental original composition by MAYA AKAI that first appeared in SEGA's ONGEKI arcade rhythm game before crossing over into maimai DX UNiVERSE as part of the ONGEKI & CHUNITHM category. Clocking in at 137 BPM with no vocals, the track showcases MAYA AKAI's signature production style, energetic synth textures and crisp rhythmic layers built for the arcade environment. In maimai, LiftOff debuted on January 14, 2022, as an unlockable within the オンゲキちほー4 (ONGEKI Area 4) exploration system, requiring 72 km of travel distance during the UNiVERSE era. It became generally available to all players the following day after the UNiVERSE PLUS update on March 24, 2022. The song released simultaneously across Japanese, international, USA, and Chinese regional versions. The chart lineup spans Basic (level 4), Advanced (level 8), Expert (level 11+, constant 11.6), and Master (level 13+, constant 13.9). The Master chart, designed by シチミヘルツ (Shichimi Hertz), sits near the top of its difficulty bracket with a demanding note layout, while the Expert chart was crafted by 隅田川星人 (Sumidagawa Seijin). Beyond the SEGA rhythm-game family, LiftOff has been licensed to lowiro's Arcaea and NEOWIZ's DJMAX RESPECT V, and also appears in CHUNITHM SUN PLUS under the reciprocal ゲキマイ genre, making it one of the more widely circulated instrumental cross-over tracks from the ONGEKI catalog.
