Overview
シュガーホリック (Sugarholic) is a self-produced original song by VTuber 周防パトラ (Patra Suou), who handled composition, arrangement, lyrics, and vocals entirely by herself. The track was added to maimai でらっくす BUDDiES PLUS in August 2024 as part of the POPS & ANIME category, bringing Patra Suou's candy-sweet pop sound to the arcade rhythm game lineup.
The song's title is a portmanteau of "sugar" and "-holic" (as in "alcoholic"), framing an addictive, almost intoxicating love through a confectionery metaphor. Its lyrics, printed in full on the community wiki, play with repeated "甘すぎ愛" (too-sweet love) imagery and the refrain "シュガーホリックかな?" (Sugarholic, maybe?), giving the track a playful yet earnest emotional core. The music video was produced by 野良いぬ (Noyoi Inu), whose visual direction complements the song's bright, sticky-sweet aesthetic.
On the maimai DX side, the song received four chart difficulties. The Expert chart was designed by 鳩ホルダー (Hato holder), while the Master chart, carrying a difficulty constant of 13.1, was designed by じゃこレモン (Jako lemon). As a VTuber-originated track, シュガーホリック represents the growing crossover between the virtual YouTuber music scene and maimai's ever-expanding song library.
