Overview
スターリースカイ☆パレード (Starry Sky☆Parade) is a VOCALOID pop track by producer キノシタ (Kinoshita), featuring the voicebanks Una Otomachi (音街ウナ) and Rin Kagamine (鏡音リン). The song originally appeared on Kinoshita's 2019 album Watercolor before arriving in maimai as part of the maimai でらっくす PLUS update on January 23, 2020. Kinoshita served as the sole creative force behind the track, handling composition, arrangement, lyrics, and the accompanying music video, giving it a cohesive, personal artistic identity.
Musically, the song rides a bright 177 BPM synth-pop groove that evokes a whimsical nighttime carnival. Its lyrics paint a scene of floating above the clouds, finding a secret entrance, and joining a sky-bound parade that lasts until dawn, a metaphor for losing oneself in a night of dancing and wonder. The recurring call of "Dancing Dancing★Party" and "Starry Starry あのね" anchors the track in a joyful, almost childlike fantasy realm.
In maimai, スターリースカイ☆パレード belongs to the niconico & VOCALOID genre category. The MASTER chart (level 12+, constant 12.6) was designed by 華火職人 (Kanon Oguni), whose pattern writing emphasizes expressive slide sequences and touch-note placements that mirror the song's twinkling, playful atmosphere. The EXPERT chart was designed by 小鳥遊さん (Takanashi-san), and both charts take advantage of the DX-format touch mechanics to reinforce the song's lighthearted, starry-night imagery.
