Overview
赤心性：カマトト荒療治 (Sekishinsei: Kamatoto Araryoji) is a VOCALOID composition by producer Suzumu (スズム), featuring Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len on vocals. The song was added to the maimai arcade rhythm game series as a launch title for the ORANGE PLUS edition, debuting on March 19, 2015, under the niconico & VOCALOID genre category.
The track runs at a brisk 205 BPM and is built around a dense, wordplay-heavy lyrical structure that targets themes of idol culture and performative innocence. Its most distinctive section employs the traditional Japanese とかけて…解きます riddle format, where the singer poses a riddle and immediately answers it. Suzumu backed the recording with a full live band, Gibson on guitar, Kei Nakamura on bass, and guu on drums, while the accompanying music video was animated by さいね. The song appears on Suzumu's 2015 album 八日目、雨が止む前に (8th Day, Before the Rain Stops) and functions as a thematic follow-up to his earlier composition 過食性:アイドル症候群 (Overeating: Idol Syndrome).
The song's maimai Master chart, designed by はっぴー, carries a 13+ difficulty rating and is distinguished by its dense slide-note sequences, 178 slides out of 832 total notes, reflecting the relentless energy of the source material. The Expert chart, credited to mai-Star, sits at 9+ and offers a condensed version of that intensity. Both the Basic and Advanced difficulty charts have no credited designer. The song is exclusive to maimai among music games, with no appearances in other rhythm game series.
