Overview

目覚めRETURNER (Mezame RETURNER) is a song performed by the fictional idol group Franchouchou (フランシュシュ) from the anime series Zombieland Saga (ゾンビランドサガ). The track made its first on-screen appearance in Episode 3 of the series, serving as one of the group's early performance numbers. The title combines "Mezame" (awakening) with "RETURNER", reflecting the zombies' journey of self-discovery and revival. Composed, arranged, and written by Tomoya Kinoshita, the song appears on the compilation album ゾンビランドサガ フランシュシュ The Best, released in 2019. 目覚めRETURNER was added to maimai DX on October 4, 2019 as part of the Zombieland Saga Area collaboration. Players could unlock it by reaching a total distance of 750 m during the event period, and it became generally available from November 1, 2019. The maimai version uses a shortened edit of approximately 2:12. The MASTER chart (level 11+, constant 11.6), designed by Jack, is notable for its dense 81 Slide notes among 550 total, a high slide count for a chart of this level, giving it a fluid, continuous feel that complements the song's energetic tempo. The Expert chart was designed by はっぴー (Happy). An electronic remix titled 目覚めRETURNER (Electric Returner) was featured in Zombieland Saga Episode 7. The song was removed from the maimai DX songlist on September 15, 2022, making it no longer playable in standard rotation.
