Overview
奏者はただ背中と提琴で語るのみ (Sousha wa tada senaka to violin de kataru nomi) is the second solo song for Nachi Tsukisuzu (月鈴那知), a member of the fictional band Irodorimidori (イロドリミドリ) from Sega's rhythm game universe. Voiced by Ayaka Imamura (今村彩夏), the character is portrayed as a self-proclaimed genius violinist, a persona the song's title and lyrics lean into heavily. The track was composed, arranged, and penned by cosMo＠暴走P (cosMo@BousouP), whose high-energy, classically-infused style is immediately recognizable in the relentless 230 BPM pace and dramatic orchestration. The music video was created by 鑓田 (alpha complex). The song first appeared in CHUNITHM STAR in November 2017 and crossed over to maimai FiNALE on March 8, 2019. Its full version, along with an instrumental, appears on the third Irodorimidori album 卒業 (Sotsugyou). In maimai, the song originally sat under the ORIGINAL & JOYPOLIS genre before later being reclassified under オンゲキ & CHUNITHM starting with でらっくす PLUS. The Master chart, designed by 小鳥遊さん, stands out as one of the higher-level challenges in the FiNALE era with a dense 929-note count and 61 Break notes packed into a 13+ difficulty bracket.
