All songs

Overview

ノーポイッ! (No Poi!) is a POPS & ANIME track performed by Petit Rabbit's, the voice-actress unit comprising Ayane Sakura (Cocoa Hoto), Inori Minase (Chino Kafuu), Risa Taneda (Rize Tedeza), Satomi Sato (Chiya Ujimatsu), and Maaya Uchida (Syaro Kirima). The song was composed by Kaoru Okubo with lyrics by Aki Hata, and originally released as a single in 2015. It served as the opening theme for the second season of the anime Is the Order a Rabbit?? (ご注文はうさぎですか??), commonly shortened to Gochiusa. The song made its rhythm-game debut in CHUNITHM AIR PLUS before arriving in maimai at the launch of maimai でらっくす Splash on September 17, 2020. The maimai version uses a TV-size edit of approximately 1:30, trimming the full song to fit the arcade format. A distinguishing visual feature of its charts is the slide-note placement: the slides sweep upward from the bottom of the screen, a deliberate design choice that mirrors the song's title. The phrase ノーポイッ! is a playful "no throwing away," built around the onomatopoeic ポイッ, the sound of casually tossing something aside. The upward slides evoke the act of catching or holding on, reinforcing the song's lyrical message of not discarding the present moment. ノーポイッ! was removed from Japanese arcades on March 23, 2023, concurrent with the launch of maimai DX FESTiVAL, and was also removed from Asian and Chinese versions in subsequent updates. International cabinets used a different jacket illustration because the Gochiusa-themed in-game area was not licensed in those regions. Despite its removal, the song remains a well-known representative of the Splash-era anime song lineup and is still playable in CHUNITHM.

Trivia

ノーポイッ! is the opening theme for Is the Order a Rabbit?? season 2 (ご注文はうさぎですか??). The first season's opening, Daydream café, was also performed by Petit Rabbit's and previously appeared in maimai before being removed in the UNiVERSE PLUS update.
The song was composed by Kaoru Okubo, an anime composer known for contributions to K-ON! and other Kyoto Animation series. The lyrics were written by Aki Hata, a prolific lyricist famous for work on Love Live! and Symphogear.
Petit Rabbit's brings together the five main voice actresses from Gochiusa: Ayane Sakura (Cocoa), Inori Minase (Chino), Risa Taneda (Rize), Satomi Sato (Chiya), and Maaya Uchida (Syaro).
The slide patterns in the maimai chart sweep upward from the bottom of the playing field, visually representing the act of not tossing away (ポイッ) the day, a chart gimmick tied directly to the song's title.
The Master chart, designed by サファ太 (Safata), is rated level 12 with a note count of 484. Its challenge comes from rhythmic variety and slide placement rather than raw density.
The Expert chart, designed by 小鳥遊さん (Takanashi-san), features 47 Touch notes and 16 Break notes at a difficulty constant of 8.6, giving it a distinctive feel among Splash-era Expert charts.
ノーポイッ! was removed from Japanese maimai DX cabinets on March 23, 2023, coinciding with the system update to maimai DX FESTiVAL. Asian versions followed with removal starting in FESTiVAL, and Chinese versions with 舞萌DX 2023.
International versions of maimai use a different jacket artwork because the Gochiusa-themed in-game area was not licensed outside Japan. The alternate jacket replaces the anime key art with a generic illustration.
In CHUNITHM, the song debuted earlier, at the launch of CHUNITHM AIR PLUS, where it was initially unlocked through a MAP event before being made available by default in March 2017. The CHUNITHM Master chart totals 1,572 notes, over three times the length of the maimai version.
The maimai version uses a TV-size edit (approximately 1:30), while the CHUNITHM version uses a longer cut. The full song runs 2:18 and was released on the ノーポイッ! single in 2015.
A maimai DX Collection title reading あぁ^〜心がぴょんぴょんするんじゃぁ^〜 could be earned by playing both Daydream café (DX chart) and ノーポイッ! in the same credit. The title references a well-known meme line from the Gochiusa fandom.
The Basic chart originally launched at level 3 in Splash, but was downgraded to level 2 starting with UNiVERSE PLUS, reflecting a broader recalibration of the lowest difficulty tier.
