Overview
共鳴 (Kyōmei, meaning "resonance") is an original song produced for maimai でらっくす PLUS (maimai DX PLUS), composed by SADA 2Futureanthem and performed by vocalist ellie. With a driving tempo of 174 BPM, the track layers energetic electronic production over a steady beat, with ellie's vocals providing the melodic centerpiece, a formula characteristic of the SADA 2Futureanthem style. The song arrived on July 3, 2020 as part of the DX PLUS content update.
For much of its early life, Kyōmei was a gated unlockable. It first appeared in the みかんヶ岡ちほー 月夜通り (Mikan'gaoka Chihō Moonlit Street) area, where reaching the 800 m milestone granted access, the area itself only became available after completing みかんヶ岡ちほー 朝焼け通り (Mikan'gaoka Chihō Morning Sun Street). When maimai DX Splash launched in September 2020, the requirement was raised to 42 km in the same area. The track was finally made generally available, no area progression needed, with the Splash PLUS update in March 2021.
The chart suite spans four DX difficulties. The Master chart (level 13, constant 13.2) was designed by Safata.Hz, while the Expert chart (level 10) was handled by はっぴー. Both the Basic and Advanced charts have no credited designer. The Basic chart also saw a level adjustment from 3 to 4 beginning with the UNiVERSE+ version.
