Overview
メイトなやつら (Meito na Yatsura) is a pop track by MonsterZ MATE, the Japanese VTuber music unit formed by werewolf-themed Anjō and vampire-themed Kōsaka. True to its title, "Those Mate Guys", the song is an all-hands gathering of the MonsterZ MATE extended circle, featuring guest vocals from four fellow VTuber and streaming personalities: Tenkai Tsukasa (天開司), Satō Holmes (佐藤ホームズ), Akkun Dai Maō (あっくん大魔王), and Utae Meika (歌衣メイカ). The result is a lively, 160 BPM ensemble piece that feels less like a structured vocal arrangement and more like a hangout session set to music, with each guest bringing their own character to the delivery. The track is produced under the copyright of Balus and was added to maimai でらっくす PRiSM on October 11, 2024. Notably, the song title as listed in-game renders the featured-artist credit in uppercase "FEAT." whereas the original music video uses lowercase "feat.", a minor but curious discrepancy with no official explanation. The Expert chart was designed by 鳩ホルダー (Hato Holder) and the Master chart by Jack, both at level 10 and 13.0 respectively.

Trivia
- MonsterZ MATE is a VTuber music duo whose members lean into supernatural personas: Anjō is a werewolf and Kōsaka is a vampire. Their unit name plays on both 'monster' and 'mate' (friend), and the song title メイトなやつら extends that wordplay, 'those mate guys', as a wink to the group and its extended circle.
- The four guest vocalists, Tenkai Tsukasa, Satō Holmes, Akkun Dai Maō, and Utae Meika, are all VTubers / streamers who frequently collaborate with MonsterZ MATE, making this track a cross-channel reunion rather than a typical commissioned feature.
- The song's copyright is held by Balus, a music label and production company associated with MonsterZ MATE and other VTuber-driven projects.
- In the original music video and music distribution, the credit reads 'feat.' (lowercase), while the maimai in-game title adopts 'FEAT.' (uppercase). The reason for this change has not been publicly stated.
- Completing certain in-game achievements unlocks deluxe-collection titles themed around MonsterZ MATE inside jokes: 「お前もMZMだもんな」 ('You're one of MZM too'), 「マイマイマー達の懺悔」 ('The Maimai-mers' Confession'), and 「サプライズスキップはエゴ」 ('Surprise Skip Is Ego'), among others.
- One deluxe title references a specific combo of songs: playing メイトなやつら and ふらふらふら、 (another MonsterZ MATE track in maimai) in a single credit awards 「お前がラフな格好でええからって言ったんちゃうか！！」.
- The Master chart at level 13.0 (定数 13.0) was designed by Jack and features 697 total notes, with a heavy emphasis on Tap (510) and Slide (91) patterns, consistent with Jack's signature slide-heavy style.
