Overview
LOSE CONTROL is a hardstyle track by the Japanese duo Massive New Krew, featured in maimai DX Splash PLUS as part of the HARDCORE TANO*C collaboration event in 2021. The song originates from the duo's 2014 album SPEED BALL EVOLUTION, the same release that supplied the track Extra Mode to Groove Coaster 3EX. Massive New Krew, formed in 2008 by Ryosuke Tachibana and Ayato Shinozaki (Javelin), brings their signature high-energy, pounding hardstyle production to the maimai arcade series, built around a relentless 150 BPM kick with no vocal elements. The Master chart, designed by はっぴー (Happy), originally debuted as a level 13 before being re-evaluated to 13+ starting with maimai DX FESTiVAL, reflecting the demanding mixed-frills patterns that dominate the latter-half kick section. The Expert chart, designed by ぴちネコ (Pichineko), offers a dense 12-level experience packed with Touch notes and Break clusters.
