Overview

マネマネサイコトロピック (Mane Mane Psychotropic) is a Vocaloid track by producer かいりきベア (Kairiki bear) featuring the voicebank GUMI. The song first appeared on niconico (sm21660475) in 2013 and was later included on the compilation album EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalofuture feat. 初音ミク before arriving in maimai DX Splash on November 27, 2020. The title blends "mane mane" (真似真似, meaning mimicry or copycat behavior) with "psychotropic", a play on words that sets up the song's lyrical theme of identity replication and inner conflict. The lyrics follow a narrator spiraling through self-doubt, wishing for a second self to handle life's pressures, only for an "imitation" to emerge and take over. In maimai, the track sits in the niconico & VOCALOID genre and features a MASTER chart originally rated Lv13 that was elevated to Lv13+ (constant 13.7) starting in the UNiVERSE version, a rarity that reflects the chart's density and the demanding slide-and-touch patterns designed by はっぴー. The Expert chart (Lv10+, constant 10.6) was designed by Jack and makes notable use of Touch notes (38 across both Expert and Master), giving the song a tactile, full-panel identity of its own.

Trivia

  • The song's niconico upload date (sm21660475) predates its maimai appearance by roughly seven years; it was originally shared on September 2, 2013.
  • The music video was produced by a trio: Not-116 (animation), しおみづ (illustration), and kenji (video composition).
  • The in-game achievement title for MASTER FULL COMBO+ reads 「ああ… 自分がもう一人いればいいのにな…」 ('Ah… if only there were another me…'), which directly quotes the song's opening spoken line and reinforces the imitation-themed lyrics.
  • The MASTER chart was initially released at Lv13 during Splash and Splash PLUS, then upgraded to Lv13+ in maimai DX UNiVERSE, a relatively rare post-release difficulty bump for a Vocaloid chart.
  • In the Asian version of maimai DX, the song was added on April 9, 2021; in the Chinese version (舞萌DX 2021), it arrived on December 10, 2021.
  • The MASTER chart features 143 Slide notes and 38 Touch notes, a high slide density that gives the chart a distinctively flowy, sweep-heavy feel compared to other 13+ Vocaloid charts from the same era.
  • Kairiki bear is known for other high-BPM Vocaloid songs that later appeared in rhythm games, such as Daruma-san ga Koronda and Gimmeyourえもーしょん.
  • The song runs 2:10 in length, a compact duration typical of niconico-era Vocaloid tracks designed for loop-friendly listening.
