Overview

"Magical Paradox" is an original composition by Mr.Asyu created for the maimai でらっくす CiRCLE edition, released on September 18, 2025. Clocking in at a brisk 192 BPM, the track carries the hallmarks of Mr.Asyu's energetic electronic style, a driving, arcade-ready soundscape built for the rhythm-game cabinet. The accompanying movie was produced by the duo TOYCAT / おゆざき, pairing the song's fast pulse with vibrant cybernetic visuals. The song arrives wrapped in a narrative flavor text that paints a scene straight out of a digital card-battle anime: a boy protagonist finally reaches the championship match of a tournament whose grand prize is the long-sought card "ARCHANGEL NIBOSI." Just as victory seems certain, a black hand reaches from empty space, seizes his "MAGICAL-G-KNIGHT," and drags it into darkness. The text frames the track as the soundtrack to this climactic cyber-world duel, giving players a vivid story context as they take on its charts. As a locked song in the CiRCLE release, "Magical Paradox" must be unlocked by accumulating 300 km of distance in the Tricolo Area (トリコロちほー), one of the area-progression goals that defined the debut campaign for the CiRCLE version. Its Master chart, designed by サファ太 (Safata), crosses the 1000-note threshold with 1052 total notes and a difficulty constant of 13.8, positioning it among the more demanding original-song offerings in the set. The Expert chart, laid out by Jack at a constant of 11.6, provides a substantial intermediate challenge.
