Overview

No Limit RED Force serves as the main theme of ONGEKI R.E.D., the third major version update of SEGA's ONGEKI rhythm game series. Composed by Yuuki Honda of the production circle Arte Refact and performed by ONGEKIシューターズ, a five-member vocal unit drawn from ONGEKI's main cast, the track delivers an energetic electronic-rock arrangement paired with motivational lyrics written by Erika Masaki. Its title and lyrics revolve around the concept of breaking through limitations, reflected in the "RED" suffix that directly references the ONGEKI version it was created for. The song crossed over into maimai DX UNiVERSE on January 14, 2022 as part of the ONGEKI & CHUNITHM genre, the game's category for cross-title collaboration content between the three SEGA arcade rhythm game franchises collectively known as GekiChuMai. Beyond maimai, No Limit RED Force was also ported to GROOVE COASTER 4MAX and Re:ステージ!プリズムステップ, making it one of the most widely distributed vocal tracks to originate from the ONGEKI series. The maimai MASTER chart (level 12+) was designed by 小鳥遊さん, while the EXPERT chart (level 9+) was handled by 翠楼屋. The music video was produced by 鑓田 (alpha complex).
