SHOW TIME is a track from the 2012 Nintendo 3DS rhythm-action adventure game Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure (リズム怪盗R 皇帝ナポレオンの遺産), developed by Sega. Composed by Naofumi Hataya with English lyrics by George Cockle and vocals by Paris Lundon, the song carries the upbeat, theatrical energy of the heist-themed adventure it originated from. In maimai, SHOW TIME holds a special place in the game's history: it was one of the launch songs available from the very first version of maimai in September 2012. Over the arcade series' lifespan, the track has been reclassified across several in-game genre categories, originally sitting under GAME/ANIME, then GAME, later SEGA, and briefly ORIGINAL during the early でらっくす era before settling into its current GAME & VARIETY home. The higher-difficulty charts, Expert and Master, were both designed by the charter ニャイン (Nyain). The Master chart, rated level 12 with a constant of 12.5, has been adjusted across multiple version updates, originally a level 10 in the earliest maimai cabinets, it was elevated through multiple revisions as the overall difficulty curve of the game expanded. For international audiences, the artist credit on 舞萌 and Asian English releases was anglicized to "Naofumi Hataya 'Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure'."
