Overview
はじめまして地球人さん (Hajimemashite Chikyūjin-san), officially rendered as "Nice To Meet You, Mr. Earthling," is a niconico & Vocaloid track by producer ピノキオピー (PinocchioP) featuring Hatsune Miku. The song joined the maimai arcade rhythm game series on July 16, 2015 as part of the ORANGE PLUS version update. Its title imagines a first encounter from the perspective of a non-human visitor addressing an Earthling, the polite suffix "さん" (san) applied to "地球人" (earthling) lends the greeting a courteous yet absurdist tone that reflects PinocchioP's characteristically playful approach to lyric writing. At 175 BPM, the track pairs bright electronic-pop instrumentation with dense, rapidly delivered Vocaloid phrasing. The song was retired from the maimai catalog on March 21, 2024 and can no longer be selected on standard cabinets, marking it as a legacy piece from the game's earlier era. The MASTER chart (level 13, difficulty constant 13.0) was designed by the pseudonymous charter 某S氏, while the EXPERT chart (level 10) was designed by はっぴー.
