Overview

女々しくて (Memeshikute) is a pop rock single by the Japanese visual-kei band ゴールデンボンバー (Golden Bomber), released as their 7th single on October 21, 2009. The song's title derives from 女々しい (memeshii, "effeminate" or "unmanly"), and its lyrics narrate a lovesick protagonist spiraling through jealousy and desperate yearning, a dramatic, self-deprecating tone that resonated widely and turned the track into a viral phenomenon in Japan. Its music video, directed by 今村繁 (Shigeru Imamura), further fueled the song's breakout success. 女々しくて holds a remarkable distinction in rhythm game history: it was simultaneously licensed to nine different arcade music game series, including pop'n music, REFLEC BEAT, Dance Evolution ARCADE, DanceDanceRevolution X3 vs 2ndmix, jubeat saucer, Taiko no Tatsujin, MIRAIDAGAKKI, GITADORA, and maimai, more than any other licensed song in the genre's history. In maimai, it was added at the launch of GreeN (July 11, 2013) and initially categorized under the POPS genre before shifting to POPS & ANIME in maimai PiNK. The song's standard charts span Basic (level 3) through Master (level 11). The Expert chart was designed by はっぴー, while the Master chart was handled by ニャイン. The Master chart's 466 total notes include 63 Slide notes, giving it a distinctive rhythmic flow that matches the song's driving, anthemic chorus. 女々しくて was delisted from arcade maimai on June 30, 2016, making it the first song in the series with a level 11 Master chart to be removed. It remains accessible in certain regional and Asian English releases under the romanized title "Memeshikute" with the artist credited as "GOLDEN BOMBER."
