Overview

"Starlight Dance Floor" is a vocal arrange track by the long-running Touhou doujin circle 発熱巫女~ず (Hatsunetsumiko's), based on "恋色マスタースパーク" (Love-colored Master Spark), the stage 4 boss theme of 東方永夜抄 ~ Imperishable Night. The original melody, composed by ZUN, is reimagined here as an English-language dance-pop number by arranger Tim Vegas, with lyrics by Laura April and vocals by Ark Brown. The arrangement is built around a steady 128 BPM groove, layered with electric guitar by Condor KING + Tim Vegas and bass by Maurits "Zen" Cornelis, giving the track a polished, club-friendly feel that stands apart from the more overtly electronic sound of many Hatsunetsumiko's productions. Originally released on the circle's 2014 album "Origin of Love," the song made its rhythm-game debut in CHUNITHM AIR PLUS in February 2017 before arriving in maimai MURASAKi PLUS on October 17 of the same year. The maimai edition uses a shorter cut of the full-length version. In-game, "Starlight Dance Floor" is categorized under the 東方Project genre and is available across all regions (JP, INTL, USA, CN). The Master chart, designed by ものくろっく (monoclock) at difficulty level 12 (constant 12.5), features heavy Slide-note usage (109 slides) that reflects the designer's signature pattern-heavy approach, while the Expert chart by 玉子豆腐 (Tamagodoufu) offers a more straightforward but still demanding 10-level experience.

Trivia

  • Starlight Dance Floor is a remix of "恋色マスタースパーク" (Love-colored Master Spark), the theme of Marisa Kirisame's stage 4 boss encounter from 東方永夜抄 ~ Imperishable Night (2004).
  • The track was originally released on Hatsunetsumiko's 2014 album "Origin of Love" before appearing in any rhythm game.
  • It first appeared in a music game in CHUNITHM AIR PLUS on February 23, 2017, roughly eight months before its maimai debut.
  • Until maimai FiNALE, the song's in-game background video featured an animated sequence of Marisa Kirisame. This was replaced with a static jacket image starting with maimai でらっくす (DX).
  • The maimai version is a shortened edit; the full track runs 2:22, as seen in CHUNITHM, compared to maimai's 1:50 cut.
  • In Asian English releases of maimai, the artist is displayed as "Hatsunetsumiko's" rather than the original Japanese 発熱巫女~ず.
  • The Master chart (level 12, constant 12.5) by ものくろっく contains 109 Slide notes, notably more than the 18 Hold notes, making it a slide-dominant chart for its difficulty tier.
  • The Expert chart by 玉子豆腐 (Tamagodoufu) has a notably high Hold-note count (75 holds out of 324 total notes), giving it a different rhythmic character than the Master chart.
  • Starlight Dance Floor underwent multiple re-rating adjustments across maimai versions: Advanced rose from 6 to 7+, Expert from 8+ to 10, and Master from 11 to 12 over the course of several updates.
  • CHUNITHM received two separate WORLD'S END charts for this song: one labeled 覚☆2 (added in CHUNITHM STAR) and another labeled 両☆2 (added in CHUNITHM AMAZON PLUS).
