Overview
snooze is an original vocal track by wotaku featuring SHIKI, first released as a self-titled album in 2021. The song made its rhythm-game debut in SEGA's オンゲキ bright MEMORY in August 2023, then crossed over into CHUNITHM SUN PLUS the following month, before arriving in maimai でらくっす PRiSM on November 22, 2024. The music video was produced by Cube and ちふり. Lyrically, snooze paints a picture of weary disillusionment, fragments of urban exhaustion, forgotten umbrellas, and a world indifferent to its own disasters, punctuated by a characteristically blunt request: "アイスおごってくれ" (buy me ice cream), which also appears in-game as a collection title awarded for winning multiplayer sessions. In maimai, the MASTER chart (level 13+, constant 13.7) was designed by Luxizhel, known in the community for technically demanding layouts, while the EXPERT chart (level 10+, constant 10.6) was crafted by サファ太 (Safata). A later update in maimai でらくっす CiRCLE (October 2025) added an UTAGE (宴) chart bearing the subtitle "～音取りほぼMAXバージョン～" (≈ Sound Extraction Almost MAX Version), a 1052-note arrangement that pushes note density to its limits.
