Overview
ロウワー (Lower) is a VOCALOID original song by producer ぬゆり (nulut), featuring the vocal synth flower. The track was added to maimai でらっくす FESTiVAL PLUS on March 23, 2023, as part of the niconico & VOCALOID genre lineup, and its Re:MASTER chart launched the same day. The song was later included on the compilation album ULTRAPANIC2 (2023). Its music video was created by illustrators みず希 and 春私宜. With a BPM of 132 and a runtime of 2:24, the track carries a pensive, introspective mood—its lyrics explore themes of connection, distance, and the desire to hold onto shared moments. The maimai chart suite spans all five DX difficulties, with the Expert chart designed by 翠楼屋 (Suirouya), the Master chart by 緑風 犬三郎 (Midorikaze Inusaburō, also known as Happy), and the Re:Master chart by はっぴー (Happy). The Re:Master chart at level 13 (constant 13.5) features 759 notes with a notably high Slide count of 99, characteristic of its designer's style.
