Overview

PERSONA feat. PANXI is a collaborative single by producer rejection and vocalist PANXI, brought into maimai DX during the FESTiVAL PLUS update as part of the MEGAREX area event. Originally released as a standalone single in 2022 (often stylized with "&" instead of "×" on digital platforms), the track sees rejection handling composition and arrangement while PANXI provides the lyrics and vocals. Thematically, the song plays on the concept of "persona", the social masks individuals wear, with lyrics that directly question the listener: "見て「ペルソナ」どっちが好き" ("Look, 'Persona', which one do you like?"). The 175 BPM electronic production is accompanied by a music video created by みや。 and ケビンばやし. In the maimai context, the Master chart (level 13, constant 13.3) was designed by Jack and features a dense 733-note layout, while the Expert chart (level 10+, constant 10.6) was handled by はっぴー. The song was unlocked during the limited-time MEGAREX area by reaching 250 km of total distance and has been carried forward into subsequent maimai versions.
