Overview

おいでよ!妖精の森 (Oideyo! Yousei no mori, "Come to the Fairy Forest") is the opening theme of the short-form anime series gdgd妖精s (gdgd Fairies), a surreal comedy that parodies fantasy RPG tropes. The song was composed by Junichi Inoue, arranged by Nozomi Kano, and performed by the show's three lead voice actresses, Suzuko Mimori, Kaoru Mizuhara, and Satomi Akesaka, collectively credited as "gdgd妖精s" (gdgd Fairies). Its lyrics are packed with playful spoken interjections, count-ins, and the signature "gdgd" refrain (a Japanese onomatopoeia for sluggish, half-hearted activity), matching the anime's self-aware, low-budget humor. The track races along at 220 BPM, giving it an energetic, almost frantic pace that contrasts with the deliberately lazy "gdgd" aesthetic. In maimai, the song debuted with the launch of maimai ORANGE on September 18, 2014. Both the Expert and Master charts were designed by the prolific charter はっぴー (Happy). The Master chart, with a level of 11, features a high Slide-note count (105) and 52 Break notes out of 582 total, demanding both stamina and precision from players. The song was later removed from arcade rotation on June 22, 2017, making it unavailable on current maimai cabinets, one of several licensed anime tracks that were delisted over time. In Asian English releases of maimai, the title was romanized as "Oideyo! Yousei no mori" and the artist as "Gdgd Fairies".
