Overview

パズルリボン (Puzzle Ribbon) is an original rhythm game track by producer suriii (すりぃ) featuring vocalist Ryo-kun (りょーくん), composed, arranged, and written entirely by suriii. The song first appeared in CHUNITHM NEW PLUS as part of the NEW ep.IV MAP before crossing over to maimai でらっくす UNiVERSE PLUS under the ONGEKI & CHUNITHM genre on August 19, 2022. At 215 BPM, the track drives forward with suriii's characteristic electronic-pop production, bright synth arpeggios and a pounding beat, while Ryo-kun's vocals deliver introspective lyrics that wrestle with loneliness, misunderstanding, and emotional weight. The title metaphor of a puzzle ribbon that cannot be tied ("パズルのリボンを付けられない / 重い枷になるからね") recurs throughout the song, framing emotional baggage as something both decorative and confining. In maimai, パズルリボン was initially gated behind a limited-time event: the suriii Area (すりぃちほー), where players needed to accumulate 400 km of travel distance between August 19 and October 6, 2022 to unlock it. The Asian version followed with a December 23, 2022 availability. The MASTER chart, laid out by 翠楼屋 (Suirouya), earns its 13.3 difficulty constant with dense slide sequences and a demanding 835 total notes, while the Expert chart by ロシェ@ペンギン (Rocher@penguin) serves as an 11-level gateway into the song's pattern language.

Trivia

The song was composed, arranged, and written entirely by suriii (すりぃ), a Vocaloid-P and doujin music producer active in the BMS and rhythm game scene with multiple contributions to CHUNITHM and maimai.
パズルリボン debuted in CHUNITHM NEW PLUS before crossing over to maimai, making it one of several CHUNITHM-original tracks that later joined the maimai DX library under the ONGEKI & CHUNITHM genre.
In maimai DX UNiVERSE PLUS, the song was only unlockable during a specific window (August 19 – October 6, 2022) through the suriii Area (すりぃちほー), requiring 400 km of cumulative in-game travel distance. Players who missed this window had to wait for a later general unlock.
The Asian version of maimai received the unlock later, on December 23, 2022, demonstrating a staggered regional rollout for event-gated content.
In CHUNITHM, the song became available by default starting February 9, 2023, after initially being tied to the NEW ep.IV MAP.
The MASTER chart was designed by 翠楼屋 (Suirouya), a notes designer known for technically demanding, slide-heavy patterns across both maimai and CHUNITHM.
The Expert chart was designed by ロシェ@ペンギン (Rocher@penguin), who frequently contributes mid-to-high level chart designs in the DX series.
The song's lyrics use the recurring image of a puzzle ribbon (パズルのリボン) as a metaphor for emotional constraints, something that should be decorative but becomes a heavy shackle when it cannot be tied.
At 2:29 in length, the song packs its lyrical and musical content into a compact runtime typical of rhythm game originals.
