Overview
New World is a pop song by Japanese boy band w-inds., added to the original maimai arcade game at its launch on July 11, 2012. The track originally served as the second ending theme for the Japanese broadcast of the American medical drama House, and was released as a single in 2009 paired with the coupling track "Truth～最後の真実～". Composed, arranged, and written by Ryousuke Imai, the song features vocals from all three w-inds. members: Ryouhei Chiba, Keita Tachibana, and Ryuuichi Ogata. As a launch title in the very first maimai arcade release, New World was among the earliest tracks players could encounter, and it later appeared in 舞萌, the Chinese localization of the game. Over successive maimai versions, the song's in-game genre classification shifted from J-POP (in the original maimai and PLUS editions) to POPS (from GreeN onward). The Master difficulty chart at level 9 features a modest but balanced note density of 369 total notes, combining 58 Hold notes and 21 Slides with the standard Tap and Break patterns, a representative early-game chart from maimai's debut era.
