Overview

最速最高シャッターガール (Saisoku Saikou Shutter Girl) is a Touhou Project arrange song that debuted in maimai as part of the GreeN PLUS update on February 26, 2014. Performed by beatMARIO of the doujin circle COOL&CREATE, the track reimagines 風神少女 (Wind God Girl), the theme of Aya Shameimaru, the tengu reporter whose camera and journalism inspire the "shutter girl" concept. The song was composed by ZUN (Team Shanghai Alice), arranged by myu314, and first appeared on the 2008 COOL&CREATE album スーパーシャッターガール. Its promotional video, created by あめろ, was originally uploaded to NicoNico Douga in February 2009 and later carried over as the in-game movie. Within maimai, the song's charts have been adjusted across nearly every version since its introduction, with the Master chart gradually climbing from level 10 to its current 12+ (constant 12.6). The Master chart, designed by mai-Star, is notably Tap-heavy with 504 Tap notes out of 591 total, while the Expert chart by はっぴー sits at level 10+ (constant 10.6). An UTAGE (宴) chart titled "即" was added in MURASAKi PLUS, described as a rapid-fire slide pattern with no waiting time. Among rhythm games, 最速最高シャッターガール remains exclusive to maimai.
