Overview
MAXRAGE is a high-energy original composition by EBIMAYO that debuted in maimai でらっくす (maimai DX) on July 11, 2019. Running at a relentless 222 BPM, the track is a sequel to GOODRAGE, which EBIMAYO originally produced for THE BMS OF FIGHTERS ULTIMATE 2017, a Be-Music Source contest. MAXRAGE holds a distinctive place in maimai history: EBIMAYO composed the music and created the in-game movie entirely on his own, marking the first time a solo artist handled both production roles without collaborators for a maimai original song. An extended version later appeared as a CD-only bonus track on his album GOODCOLLECTION V4, released at M3 2021 Spring. The song's blistering pace and driving electronic energy translate directly into its chart designs, the EXPERT chart opens with a slide pattern that visually spells 'MAX,' and the MASTER chart caps off its dense high-BPM stream patterns with a closing 'M'-shaped slide. Beyond maimai, MAXRAGE has crossed into CHUNITHM (categorized under ゲキマイ) and the mobile title Arcaea, cementing its reach across the rhythm-game ecosystem.
