Overview
最っ高のエンタメだ!! (Saikkou no Entame da!!, "The Best Entertainment!!") is a high-energy crossover track that originated in SEGA's ONGEKI rhythm game before making its way to maimai. The song was composed, arranged, and penned by Masaki Honda of the production unit Dream Monster, and is performed by the ONGEKI in-game unit 7EVENDAYS⇔HOLIDAYS, featuring characters Koboshi Inohara (voiced by Haruna Momono) and Saki Kashiwagi (voiced by Manaka Iwami). The title's unusual spelling, 最っ高 rather than the standard 最高, uses a geminate consonant (small っ) to punch up the emphasis, matching the song's hyperactive energy.
The lyrics are a love letter to otaku entertainment culture, name-checking genres from fantasy and action RPGs to love comedies, fighting games, sports, puzzles, horror, and strategy. Lines like "NO エンタメ NO ライフ" (NO Entertainment NO Life) and the recurring refrain "最っ高のエンタメだ!!" hammer home the theme of losing oneself in the things you love. At 276 BPM, the track races along with relentless energy, a signature trait of Honda's composition style.
In maimai, the song debuted in the BUDDiES PLUS update on August 30, 2024, under the ONGEKI & CHUNITHM category. The Master chart, handled by veteran designer はっぴー (Happy), carries a 13+ difficulty (level constant 13.7) and crams 942 notes into its 2:33 runtime, with notable emphasis on Slide (120) and Break (102) patterns that demand rapid read-and-react ability. The Expert chart was designed by 鳩ホルダー (Hato holder) at level 11.
The song has also appeared in CHUNITHM NEW PLUS (August 2022) and ONGEKI R.E.D. PLUS, where it was part of Chapter 4 (想い、繋がって). Extended, instrumental, and solo vocal versions are available on the ONGEKI Vocal Party 05 and ONGEKI Vocal Memory soundtracks. Regional release dates varied: the Asian maimai version received the song on November 29, 2024, and the Chinese version (舞萌DX 2025) followed on November 5, 2025.
