Overview
Love You is a cover of the original song by the Japanese musical project Q;indivi, featured in maimai since the arcade game's very first release in July 2012. The track was composed by Yusuke Tanaka with lyrics by Rin Oikawa, blending a warm, mid-tempo pop arrangement at 135 BPM with an uplifting message about enduring love and hope. As one of the inaugural songs available at maimai's launch, Love You carries historical significance within the series, it has persisted through every major version update, from the original maimai through to the DX era, making it one of the longest-tenured tracks in the game. Over the years its in-game genre classification shifted from J-POP (in early maimai versions) to POPS, and finally to POPS & ANIME from the PiNK era onward. With the transition to maimai DX, Love You received a new jacket illustration and had its original music video replaced by a still image of the updated artwork. In addition to its standard chart set, which includes a Master chart designed by ニャイン (Nyain) at level 11+ and an Expert chart by 譜面-100号 at 9+, the song also boasts a cooperative UTAGE (宴) chart, originally added in maimai MURASAKi PLUS and later revived in the DX BUDDiES version.
