Overview
QUEEN is a Vocaloid track by Japanese producer Kanaria, sung by the GUMI voicebank (Megpoid). Originally released as a standalone single in 2022, the song arrived in maimai DX as part of the BUDDiES version on March 8, 2024, under the niconico & VOCALOID category. Kanaria handled composition, arrangement, and lyrics, while the animated music video was produced by illustrator LAM and the studio 雷雷公社 (Raikuraikousha), the same visual style carries into the song's in-game jacket art. The song runs 2:20 at a steady 170 BPM, with a driving pop-rock arrangement built around a prominent piano riff and GUMI's distinctive, pitch-bent vocal delivery. In maimai, QUEEN's MASTER chart (level 12+, constant 12.8) was designed by サファ太 (Safata) and totals 777 notes, while the EXPERT chart (level 10) was created by 鳩ホルダー (Hato holder). The song had no prior music game appearances before its maimai debut.
