Overview
RE:INCARNATED DRAGNER is a maimai original track composed and arranged by Daisuke Kurosawa (黒沢ダイスケ) with lyrics and vocals by Kanako Kotera (小寺可南子), appearing as an unlockable song in maimai でらっくす BUDDiES PLUS from June 2024. The song marks the duo's first contribution to the maimai series, following a history of collaborations in Konami's GITADARA franchise, including tracks like "追憶 -SHINY DAYS-", "My Way, My Life", and "Just Believe", where their compositions often shared the visual motif of a red-haired young man on the jacket art. A full-length version was later released as a standalone single and included on Kurosawa's album BLACK ALBUM 5.
