Overview
Nijiyome-chan Taisō Dai-Ichioku (にじよめちゃん体操第一億) is a POPS＆アニメ track added to maimai during the MiLK PLUS era in November 2018. The song was composed, written, and performed by motsu, best known as the frontman of the anime-rap group m.o.v.e, under the name of the character unit Nijiyome-chan to ZIP-tan. Originally created as a campaign song for a whimsical 2017 summer event hosted by the Nijiyome web service, the track parodies Japan's ubiquitous morning radio-exercise tradition with a hyperactive J-pop arrangement. Its title literally means "Nijiyome-chan's Exercises, Episode 100 Million," a playful inflation of the standard "dai-ichi" (number one) into "dai-ichioku" (number 100 million). In maimai, the song is notable for its long Master chart (469 notes at level 13+ with a 13.8 constant) designed by Tamago Tofu (玉子豆腐), who also handled the Expert chart. The Master chart features an extreme imbalance of just one Hold note against 156 Slides and 74 Break notes, giving it a distinctive slide-heavy play feel that stands out among MiLK-era charts.

Trivia
- The song was originally created for a 2017 summer campaign with the tongue-in-cheek title "夏休み！真夏の朝のラジオ体操キャンペーン！～財布を大きくひらいて誠意を見せる運動～" (Summer Vacation! Midsummer Morning Radio Exercise Campaign! ~The Movement to Open Your Wallet Wide and Show Your Sincerity~), a parody of Japan's national radio calisthenics program.
- Lyrics, composition, and vocals were all handled by motsu, the vocalist of the legendary anime-rap group m.o.v.e, known for hits like "Rage your dream" from Initial D.
- The song title replaces the kanji for 'one' (一) in the common phrase 'dai-ichi' (第一, number one) with 'ichioku' (一億, 100 million), creating a hyperbolic joke about the number of repetitions.
- The music video was produced by AOI, with Nijiyome-chan and ZIP-tan appearing as on-screen characters.
- The Master chart underwent multiple level adjustments across maimai versions: it debuted at level 12 in MiLK+, was raised to 13 in DX+, and eventually settled at 13+ (13.8 constant) from the FESTiVAL version onward.
- The Expert chart also saw adjustments, rising from level 8 at launch to level 9 from UNiVERSE+ onward.
- At 13.8, the Master chart is among the higher-level 13+ charts from the MiLK era, and its note composition, 238 Tap, 1 Hold, 156 Slide, and 74 Break notes, emphasizes rapid slide patterns with almost no sustained holds.
- The Master chart was designed by Tamago Tofu (玉子豆腐), whose handle translates literally to 'egg tofu' (a Japanese dessert-style tofu dish).
