Overview
セハガガガンバッちゃう！！ is the opening theme of Hi☆sCoool! セハガール, a 2014 anime adaptation of Sega's Sega Hard Girls (セガ・ハード・ガールズ) franchise, a media project that anthropomorphizes classic Sega game consoles as cute female characters. The song was composed by Yoshinori Sugimoto (also known for his work on the Phantasy Star Online 2 soundtracks), arranged by Yoshihisa Fujita, with lyrics co-written by Souta Sugahara and Sugimoto. The vocals are performed in-character by the three lead SeHa Girls: Dreamcast (voiced by M・A・O), Sega Saturn (voiced by Minami Takahashi), and Mega Drive (voiced by Shiori Izawa), giving the track a lively, call-and-response energy befitting its high 202 BPM tempo.
Added to maimai on September 22, 2016 as part of the PiNK PLUS update, the song has undergone several rebalancings across subsequent versions: its Master chart started at level 11 in PiNK PLUS, climbed to 12+ during the DX era, and settled at level 13 from UNiVERSE PLUS onward. The current Expert chart carries the signature of Revo@LC, while the Master chart was designed by はっぴー (Happy), who packed it with 222 Slide notes, an unusually high count that gives the chart a distinctive, sweeping feel across the playfield. The song also crossed over into CHUNITHM STAR in 2017 as part of a Hi☆sCoool! セハガール event MAP.
