Overview
"Nine Point Eight" is a song by the international music collective Mili, ported from Rayark's mobile rhythm game DEEMO to maimai でらっくす CiRCLE PLUS on April 17, 2026. The track is built around lyrics and vocals by Mili's frontwoman momocashew, with composition by momocashew and Yamato Kasai, and arrangement by Yamato Kasai alongside Soshi Isaka. Its title references the acceleration due to gravity (−9.8 m/s²), a motif that runs through the song's lyrics, the narrator describes taking a leap from the top of their world, with "nine point eight" as their acceleration toward reunion. The jacket art features Alice, the central character of DEEMO, tying the song visually to its origin game. Within maimai, the Expert chart (designed by Luxizhel) and the Master chart (designed by Jack) offer two distinct takes on the track's 164 BPM arrangement, with the Master chart's 740 notes including a notably high Slide count of 95. The song also appears in its full-length form on Mili's album Mag Mell and on the Deemo, Vol 1 soundtrack, while a special edit version is collected on Millennium Mother.
