Overview

Shiny Smily Story is the debut original song of the VTuber agency hololive, performed by the collective unit hololive IDOL PROJECT. Composed and arranged by Ryouta Nakano (onetrap) with lyrics by Yoshifumi Kanemaru (onetrap), the track serves as a bright, energetic anthem representing the agency's growing roster of talents. First released as a single in 2019, it quickly became hololive's signature song and was subsequently licensed across several rhythm game franchises including CHUNITHM, オンゲキ (ONGEKI), Groove Coaster, and maimai. The song arrived in maimai でらっくす Splash PLUS on August 5, 2021 as a POPS＆アニメ category entry, with four DX-difficulty charts spanning Basic (level 2), Advanced (7), Expert (10), and Master (12.5). The Expert chart was designed by サファ太 (Safata), while the Master chart was handled by ものくろっく (monoclock), who also designed the Master charts for this song in CHUNITHM and ONGEKI. Shiny Smily Story was removed from the maimai arcade lineup on September 14, 2023, though it remains playable in several other rhythm game titles and lives on as a landmark track in hololive's musical catalog.
