Overview

シックスプラン (Six Plans) is an original maimai song composed by Vocaloid producer 針原翼(はりーP)(HarryP) featuring vocals by はく (Haku). Added to maimai DX BUDDiES on December 22, 2023, the track was made available through the スカイストリートちほー5 (Sky Street Area 5) unlock progression. At a steady 120 BPM, its measured tempo belies the emotional turbulence of the narrative it anchors. The song serves as the musical centerpiece of a pivotal chapter in the Sky Street storyline, which follows the time-traveling protagonists Kohaku and Noah. The accompanying flavor text depicts Kohaku at her lowest point: she has arrived in a future where Akatsuki, the boy she has been trying to save across countless rewritten timelines, is dead, his family line already extinct. The time-travel device C204, a small hourglass whose contents glow and pulse unnaturally, slips from her hand as she questions every choice that led her there. Noah's voice cuts through her spiral, bluntly reframing Akatsuki's deeper motivation: he would defy the gods and tear the world apart rather than let Kohaku die. The narrative frames the song's title as a reference to the branching futures and contingency timelines Kohaku has exhausted in her search for a happy ending, six plans, each one falling short. HarryP (針原翼) is a well-established Vocaloid producer whose discography spans both doujin circle releases and commercial works. His collaboration with vocalist はく, a singer who regularly performs with doujin and Vocaloid-affiliated artists, gives the track a polished and emotionally direct delivery. The song's chord progression and arrangement mirror the story's arc, introspective and weary at the outset, building toward determined resolve as Kohaku picks up the fallen hourglass and refuses to let go.

Trivia

  • The flavor text reveals that the time-travel device C204 takes the form of a small hourglass, but unlike ordinary sand timers its contents 'glow and pulse' (キラキラと明滅), marking it as a mechanical rather than natural object.
  • The narrative references a butterfly-shaped mark (蝶の痣) engraved on Akatsuki's arm, implying that a seemingly minor detail from an earlier timeline cascaded into the irreversible bad future Kohaku now confronts, a literal butterfly effect.
  • The song title 'シックスプラン' (Six Plans) reflects the theme of exhaustive iteration: Kohaku has already cycled through multiple branching futures, examining every possibility, only to arrive at a world where Akatsuki is gone.
  • The Sky Street (スカイストリート) series is one of maimai DX's original narrative-driven song collections. Each song in the series advances an overarching plot through unlock conditions and flavor text, making the tracklist itself a storytelling device.
  • Vocalist はく (Haku) is a frequent collaborator with Vocaloid producers and has contributed vocals to numerous doujin circle albums, bringing a clear, expressive tone to the track.
  • The MASTER chart designer みそかつ侍 (MisoKatsuSamurai) is known for incorporating dense Slide-note patterns. シックスプラン's MASTER chart features 92 Slide notes out of 632 total, a relatively high density that shapes the chart's physical flow and sets it apart from other Level 13 charts in BUDDiES.
  • The EXPERT chart was designed by サファ太 (Safata), whose charting work appears on multiple songs across the BUDDiES era.
  • In the flavor text, Noah tells Kohaku that Akatsuki would not care about 'all the misfortune and happiness of everyone in the world, or even the changing of the future itself', the only thing that mattered to him was Kohaku not dying.
