Overview
魔理沙は大変なものを盗んでいきました (Marisa Stole the Precious Thing) is one of the most widely recognized Touhou doujin music arrangements in the rhythm game community, originally released by the circle IOSYS on their 2006 album 東方乙女囃子 (Touhou Otomebayashi). The track was produced by ARM and 夕野ヨシミ (Yoshimi Yuno), both core IOSYS members, with vocals by 藤咲かりん (Karin Fujisaki). The jacket art featured on the song's CD was carried over directly into the maimai in-game display.
The song's title is a direct parody of Inspector Zenigata's famous line from the anime film Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, "奴はとんでもないものを盗んでいきました" ("He stole something incredible"), reworked to cast the Touhou character Marisa Kirisame as the thief. The song's PV, produced by IOSYS, visually reinforces the reference by depicting Reimu Hakurei wearing a detective's coat and delivering the line herself, framing Marisa as the Lupin-like culprit.
Musically, the arrangement draws from two distinct Touhou ZUN compositions: 人形裁判 ~ 人の形弄びし少女 (Doll Judge ~ The Girl Who Toys with People's Shapes), the theme of Alice Margatroid from 東方妖々夢 (Perfect Cherry Blossom), and 春色小径 ~ Colorful Path (Spring Lane ~ Colorful Path) from 東方花映塚 (Phantasmagoria of Flower View). At 170 BPM, the track layers energetic synth leads, rapid vocal delivery, and a driving beat, hallmarks of IOSYS's early doujin style, into a high-energy arrangement that became an instant meme and fan favorite.
In maimai, the song debuted on September 5, 2013 as part of the GreeN version with a full set of Standard (STD) charts. The Standard Master chart, designed by はっぴー, is a level 13 (constant 13.3) chart that tests players with dense note patterns and rapid slide sequences. The song was later removed from standard rotation on July 11, 2019, but returned in a new form: DX charts were added during the CiRCLE PLUS version, unlockable via the Stamp Card system. The DX Master chart, designed by Luxizhel, was rated 13+ (constant 13.6) and features a notably higher note density than its Standard predecessor, incorporating Touch notes and heavier Slide usage that reflect the evolution of maimai DX chart design.

Trivia
- The song first appeared on IOSYS's doujin album 東方乙女囃子 (Touhou Otomebayashi), released in 2006, seven years before it was added to maimai.
- The title parodies Inspector Zenigata's line from Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro: '奴はとんでもないものを盗んでいきました' ('He stole something incredible'). The PV shows Reimu Hakurei in a detective coat delivering this line.
- The arrangement draws from two Touhou source themes: Alice Margatroid's theme from 東方妖々夢 (Perfect Cherry Blossom) and the stage theme from 東方花映塚 (Phantasmagoria of Flower View).
- The song was removed from maimai standard rotation on July 11, 2019, making it unavailable for several years.

- An 宴 (Utage/Banquet) chart was added on February 6, 2018 with a designer credit punning on the song title: '大変なスライドを間違えていきました' ('I made a terrible slide mistake'). This chart was also removed on July 11, 2019.
- The Standard chart levels changed multiple times across maimai versions: the Basic chart started at level 3 in GreeN, rose to 4, then 6 by UNiVERSE+; the Master chart climbed from level 10 in GreeN up to level 13 by UNiVERSE+.
- The DX Master chart by Luxizhel (level 13+, constant 13.6) contains 774 total notes, significantly denser than the Standard Master chart (584 notes at level 13, constant 13.3) by はっぴー.
