Overview
すーぱーぬこになりたい ("I Want to Become a Super Cat") is an original song by Japanese vocalist and composer Mafumafu (まふまふ), who wrote, arranged, and performed the track himself. It was added to maimai MURASAKi in December 2016 and belongs to the in-game niconico & VOCALOID genre. The song spins a playful fantasy about becoming a cat, weaving together classroom humor, a mock news segment about stolen dried sardines (にぼし), and an infectious chorus of "nya" refrains, all delivered in Mafumafu's characteristically bright, high-register vocal style over an upbeat pop-rock arrangement at 194 BPM.
The track is part of a loose "nuko" series by Mafumafu, following the earlier すーぱーぬこわーるど and later continued by すーぱーぬこになれんかった, which itself joined the maimai song list in maimai でらっくす PLUS. In maimai, the song's MASTER chart, designed by ぴちネコ, stands out for weaving the lyrics directly into the note patterns: a four-direction slide mirrors the "問4ばんめ" (question number 4) lyric, and a fish-shaped slide motif accompanies the repeated "にぼし!" calls. The chart also packs dense Break-note clusters into the climactic cat-call sections, placed at the endpoints of sweeping slides so that accidental GOOD judgments become a frequent hazard. The EXPERT chart, designed by Revo@LC, offers an intermediate challenge at level 10+.
