Overview

自傷無色 (Self-Injury Colorless) is a VOCALOID song by Japanese producer sasanomaly (ササノマリイ), originally released on niconico featuring Hatsune Miku. The track later received a human cover by the in-game unit 25-ji, Nightcord de. (25時、ナイトコードで。) from the mobile rhythm game Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku, with vocals performed by Kanade Yoisaki (CV: Tomori Kusunoki) and Mafuyu Asahina (CV: Rui Tanabe). This cover version, credited to all three acts together, was brought into maimai でらっくす Splash on January 21, 2021 as part of the ongoing collaboration between the two Sega rhythm-game franchises. The song's lyrics dwell on themes of self-worth, identity, and the desire to be someone else, a characteristic emotional register that aligns closely with the darker, introspective tone of the Project Sekai unit performing it. At 120 BPM, the MASTER chart (designed by はっぴー) sits at level 12+ (constant 12.8), while the EXPERT chart (designed by Jack) holds at level 9. A brief incident during the Splash PLUS update saw unintended changes to the MASTER chart's Slide patterns, which were reverted on April 1, 2021 without affecting note counts or scores. The Asian version of maimai DX received the song later than the Japanese arcade, added with the FESTiVAL edition on February 3, 2023, marking the first time a song's release was delayed in this way for the Asian region, while the Chinese version arrived even later on 舞萌DX 2025 on December 4, 2025.

Trivia

  • The original 自傷無色 was uploaded to niconico on December 5, 2012 (sm19870840) as a Hatsune Miku VOCALOID track by sasanomaly, who also goes by the name sasanomaly for his self-cover works.
  • The maimai version is a human cover by the Project Sekai unit 25-ji, Nightcord de., with vocals by Kanade Yoisaki (CV: Tomori Kusunoki) and Mafuyu Asahina (CV: Rui Tanabe), alongside the original Hatsune Miku vocal track.
  • The MASTER chart (12+, constant 12.8) was designed by はっぴー, while the EXPERT chart (level 9) was designed by Jack, leaving the Basic and Advanced charts without credited designers.
  • At the launch of maimai でらっくす Splash PLUS, the MASTER chart's Slide patterns were unintentionally altered from their original Splash configuration. Sega acknowledged the issue and reverted the chart on April 1, 2021; because the total note count remained identical, all existing scores, Full Combos, All Perfects, and DX ratings were preserved.
  • 自傷無色 was added to the Asian version of maimai DX with the FESTiVAL update on February 3, 2023, nearly two years after its Japanese debut, making it the first song in the Asian region to experience this kind of delayed release.
  • The Chinese version received the song even later, on December 4, 2025, as part of 舞萌DX 2025.
  • The opening lyrics, "君のようなひとになりたいな 「僕らしいひと」になりたいな" (I want to become someone like you / I want to become someone who is "myself"), encapsulate the song's central tension between emulating others and discovering one's own identity.
  • Composer sasanomaly later released a self-cover version of the song under his own vocal, titled simply 自傷無色 / ササノマリイ(sasanomaly), which serves as the original-music source video linked from the maimai entry.
