Overview
ストリーミングハート (Streaming Heart) is a VOCALOID track by DECO*27, one of the most prolific producers in the vocaloid and doujin music scenes, featuring Hatsune Miku on vocals. The song was arranged by kous and originally released on DECO*27's 2014 album Conti New. It made its rhythm-game debut in SEGA's CHUNITHM at that game's launch, then crossed over to maimai as part of the ORANGE PLUS update in September 2015, later appearing in オンゲキ bright MEMORY as well.
The title plays on the dual meaning of "streaming", evoking both the live-streaming culture native to DECO*27's internet-born audience and the continuous, uncontrolled flow of emotions described in the lyrics. The lyrics themselves explore the tension between honesty and concealment, affection and aversion, returning to the refrain "アイマイにしたいのさ" ("I want to make it ambiguous"). At 210 BPM, the song drives forward at a relentless pace, and the maimai MASTER chart (designed by Jack, level 13) reflects that energy with dense tap sequences and a hefty 93-slide-note count, while the EXPERT chart by rioN offers a slightly gentler entry at 10+.
