Overview

MIRACLE RUSH is a pop-anime track performed by the voice-actor unit StylipS, serving as the opening theme for the 2012 anime series 咲-Saki- 阿知賀編 episode of Side-A (Saki: Achiga-hen Episode of Side-A). The song was composed by Akihiko Yamaguchi with lyrics by Saori Kodama, and the vocals feature four members of StylipS, Arisa Noto, Yui Ogura, Kaori Ishihara, and Maho Matsunaga, capturing the energetic, competitive spirit of the mahjong-centric anime. MIRACLE RUSH crossed over from Sega's CHUNITHM series, where it debuted on CHUNITHM AMAZON in early 2019, and arrived in maimai as part of the maimai でらっくす Splash update on October 30, 2020. The maimai version uses the TV-size edit of the song (roughly 1:30), while CHUNITHM features a longer cut. In the maimai chart lineup, the Expert difficulty was designed by 小鳥遊さん, and the Master difficulty, carrying a level constant of 12.0, was charted by 譜面男子学院中堅小鳥遊, the same designer who also handled its CHUNITHM Master chart. The song was removed from the maimai arcade rotation on March 23, 2023, likely due to licensing expiration, making it inaccessible in standard play on current cabinets. In-game collectible titles tied to the song reference notable lines and motifs from the Saki series, such as a ramen craving and a character boasting about being a "100-year high school student."
