Overview

P-qoq is an original instrumental track by owl*tree (Kennosuke Ono) that debuted in maimai でらっくす on July 11, 2019. The cryptic title is a phonetic play on the Japanese word for peacock (kujaku / 孔雀), rendered through the composer's signature style of made-up, quasi-English coinages. At 175 BPM, the song drives forward with energetic, synth-heavy production characteristic of owl*tree's rhythm-game output. The track was initially unlocked through the Beginning Area (はじまりのちほー) by reaching a total distance of 250 m, and became available by default from maimai でらっくす Splash onward. It is available across all regions, Japan, International, USA, and China. owl*tree had previously contributed "Desperate" to maimai MURASAKi PLUS, making P-qoq his first new maimai composition in roughly a year. The accompanying movie was produced by Tsutsumi Hideaki (ツツミヒデアキ). An extended version and a Cranky remix were later released on owl*tree's album pvq. The MASTER chart, designed by Jack, carries a difficulty constant of 13.2 with 895 notes, a substantial layout that makes heavy use of Slide and Touch patterns. The EXPERT chart was designed by 華火職人 (Kanon Oguni) and sits at level 10. Both charts have been a point of discussion in the community for their note density and the composer's unusual naming aesthetics, which carry over into his contributions for CHUNITHM and ONGEKI.
