Overview
MIRA is a Synthesizer V piece by producer Kanaria, built around a driving electronic-pop arrangement at 148 BPM. The vocals are performed by Rikka Koharu (小春六花), a Japanese voicebank for the Synthesizer V singing synthesis engine, and the accompanying music video was created by LAM, an illustrator and animator widely recognized in the Vocaloid and doujin scene for their distinctive visual style. The song was originally released as a single/album in 2021 before joining maimai DX PRiSM PLUS in August 2025 under the niconico & VOCALOID genre category. Lyrically, MIRA explores themes of love, emotional entanglement, and the red string of fate (赤い糸), weaving imagery of worn-out affection, deceit, and lingering attachment into a refrain built around the playful onomatopoeic hook "ビビデビビデバッド." In maimai, the song is represented by four DX charts, with the Master difficulty (level 12+, constant 12.9) standing out for its dense note count and an unusually high concentration of Touch and Break notes, a layout characteristic of designer サファ太 (Safata), while the Expert chart (level 9) was handled by カマボコ君 (Kamaboko-kun). MIRA has not appeared in any other rhythm game as of its maimai debut.
