Overview

Starlight Disco is an original song created for the maimai series, first appearing in maimai PLUS at its December 2012 launch. It was composed and arranged by ripple under the circle name loos, with vocals by Meramipop, a singer well known in the doujin scene for her work on Touhou arrange tracks. The song was originally produced for SEGA's Tokyo Joypolis digital-real attraction HALFPIPE TOKYO, where it was categorized as "Space Disco," a fitting label for its cosmic dance-pop sound. The track opens with a radio-voice-style countdown and features heavily effected, Vocaloid-esque vocal processing over a steady 128 BPM groove. The jacket art and promotional video, created by loos members AQui (video) and eretto (illustration), depict a character nicknamed "Disuko" singing in a cyberpunk space environment alongside a cute mascot. Starlight Disco later crossed over into CHUNITHM (as a WORLD'S END chart) and ONGEKI, and received updated DX charts in maimai でらっくす UNiVERSE PLUS with a refreshed jacket design.
