Overview
Moe Chakka Fire (モエチャッカファイア) is a doujin (fan-made) character image song created by composer, lyricist, and vocalist issey (弌誠) for Ellen Joe, the fan-favorite maid-café-themed character from miHoYo's urban action RPG Zenless Zone Zero (ゼンレスゾーンゼロ). Released as a standalone digital single in 2024, the track layers playful, service-industry wordplay over energetic pop-rock production at 163 BPM, with arrangement by necchi, chorus work by KUMIKO MORITA, and a music video directed by ハツミノ. The song's title blends the fandom term "moe" (萌え) with "chakka" (着火, ignition) and English "fire," evoking the image of setting hearts ablaze, a fitting motif for a character from the Victoria Housekeeping Co. faction.

Trivia
- Moe Chakka Fire was added to maimai DX PRiSM PLUS on March 28, 2025, as part of the regular song lineup across all regions (Japan, International, and USA).
- The song also appears in SEGA's CHUNITHM X-VERSE, where it received an ULTIMA difficulty chart at launch, making it one of the few doujin image songs to bridge both rhythm game titles simultaneously.
- The full production credits are: composition, lyrics, and vocals by issey (弌誠); arrangement by necchi; chorus by KUMIKO MORITA; and music video production by ハツミノ.
- The Master chart, designed by サファ太 (Safata) with a difficulty constant of 13.9, sits at the upper boundary of the 13+ tier and demands dense multi-finger coordination across its 984 total notes.
- The Expert chart, designed by Luxizhel, features a section where one hand is locked into a long Hold note, mirroring the song's 'maid serving' theme, while the other hand must independently handle incoming Tap notes at a steady 4-beat rhythm.
- Both the Expert and Master charts incorporate the song's shift to 3/4 time signature midway through, which affects the rhythmic feel and requires players to adjust their internal counting during a section stretching from the line '確証的リアル 笑顔でup brrrt brrrt' to '眠らせて.'
- The song's lyrics are written from the perspective of a maid addressing a 'master' (ご主人様), weaving in puns and playful phrases such as '萌萌萌萌' (moe moe moe moe) and 'こんなんで誰が喜ぶのさ' (who'd even enjoy this?), which also appear as in-game achievement titles.
- In-game achievement titles unlockable for this song include '萌萌萌萌' (play all difficulties), 'ヴィクトリア家政' (play with 4 players, a reference to the Victoria Housekeeping Co.), and 'お冷めな娘' (achieve Rank S on Expert), the latter having been promoted from a silver title to a bronze title in a post-launch rebalance.
- The song's lyrics contain the phrase 'アンドゥトロワ' (un, deux, trois, French for 'one, two, three'), a nod to the Victoria Housekeeping Co.'s elegant Victorian-maid aesthetic.
