Overview
See The Light is an instrumental composition by anubasu-anubasu that originated in SEGA's rhythm game ONGEKI R.E.D., where it debuted on March 11, 2021 as part of the chapter "輝く、三つ星" (Shining, Three Stars). The track later crossed over into maimai でらっくす UNiVERSE PLUS on September 2, 2022 through the ONGEKI Area 5 event, placing it under the ONGEKI & CHUNITHM crossover genre category alongside other guest tracks from SEGA's sister rhythm games.
As a purely instrumental piece with no vocals, the song lets its driving electronic arrangement at 150 BPM carry the energy. The structure builds around crisp synth leads and rhythmic pulses that suit both the ONGEKI battle format, where the track originally accompanied a level-50 encounter with the opponent 早乙女 彩華 (Saotome Ayaka), and the maimai slide-and-touch gameplay.
In maimai, the track spans four DX-difficulty charts. The Expert chart (level 11) by 翠楼屋 (Suirouya) packs 55 Break notes into its 510-note total, giving it a distinctive spike-heavy feel. The Master chart (level 13+, constant 13.7) designed by Jack is the more notable of the two for its unusually high Touch-note count: 134 Touch notes out of 796 total notes. This is an atypical design for a Master-difficulty chart, where Touch notes are traditionally more common on lower-difficulty Expert and below charts, making the pattern composition a talking point among players familiar with the game's normal difficulty curve.
