Overview
終焉逃避行 (Shuuen Touhikou) is a VOCALOID track by composer Hiiragi Magnetite (柊マグネタイト), featuring Hatsune Miku on vocals. Originally released as a standalone single in 2021, the song was added to the maimai DX song library during the UNiVERSE PLUS update on August 19th, 2022, under the niconico & VOCALOID genre. The title loosely translates to "Escape from Oblivion" or "The Final Escape," and the lyrics describe a headlong flight through a canyon city, weaving imagery of blades cutting through wind, fleeting sounds, and a desperate push toward an uncertain destination, themes that align closely with Hiiragi Magnetite's characteristic style of intense, high-energy electronic rock with rapid-fire VOCALOID processing. The accompanying music video was produced by Megatera Zero (メガテラ・ゼロ). In maimai, the song sits at the upper end of the difficulty spectrum among UNiVERSE PLUS additions. The Master chart, rated 12+ with a difficulty constant of 12.9, was designed by じゃこレモン (Jako Lemon) and carries 783 total notes including 46 Break notes and 99 Slide notes, making it a demanding clear for players approaching the highest tiers. The Expert chart (level 9+, constant 9.6) was handled by Jack.
