Overview
踊 (Odo) is a song by Japanese vocalist Ado, released as her fourth single on April 27, 2021. The track was produced by a formidable trio of Vocaloid-scene veterans: Giga and TeddyLoid composed and arranged the driving, dancefloor-ready instrumental, while DECO*27, best known for iconic Vocaloid hits such as "Sakura no Ame" and "Ghost Rule", wrote the lyrics. The title translates to "dance," and the song lives up to its name with a propulsive 128 BPM beat, an infectious chorus, and call-and-response passages that evoke a live-party atmosphere. It was added to maimai でらっくす FESTiVAL at the version's launch on September 15, 2022, appearing across Japanese, International, and USA releases, with a later arrival in the Chinese version (舞萌DX 2023) on December 15, 2023. Among Ado's in-game appearances, 踊 is the only track that does not use an official music video as its background, giving it a distinct visual identity during gameplay. Its five DX charts, designed by はっぴー (Expert), 緑風 犬三郎 (Master), and あまくちジンジャー (Re:Master), span from a welcoming Basic 2 to a demanding Re:Master 13.
