Overview

Sirius (シリウス) is a song by Japanese pop-rock singer Eir Aoi, best known as the first opening theme for the 2013 anime series Kill la Kill (キルラキル). Composed by Ryousuke Shigenaga (重永亮介) with lyrics by meg rock, the track was released as Eir Aoi's third single in November 2013 and later included on her self-titled debut album. In the maimai rhythm game series, Sirius was added at the launch of maimai ORANGE PLUS on March 19, 2015, carrying the artist credit 藍井エイル「キルラキル」[アニメPV], a reference to the promotional anime PV version of the song. It originally appeared under the ANIME genre before being recategorized as POPS & ANIME from maimai PiNK onward. Due to music licensing restrictions, Sirius was never made available in non-Japanese versions of the game, making it a region-exclusive track limited to Japanese arcade cabinets. Its Standard chart set spans four difficulties, with the Expert and Master charts designed by Jack and rioN respectively, all set to a steady 176 BPM across a concise 1:28 runtime.
