Overview

SUSHI食べたい feat.ソイソース is a track by Japanese rock band ORANGE RANGE, originally released on their album TEN and later added to maimai MURASAKi in March 2017. The song is a playful, uptempo pop-rock number built around an irresistibly catchy hook about craving sushi. The "ソイソース" (Soy Sauce) credited in the title is not a guest artist but an alias of band member NAOTO, giving the track an inside-joke flourish that fits its food-centric theme. The song's music video, produced by the avant-garde animation collective AC部 (AC Department), became a cultural moment in its own right. Its deliberately crude, low-fidelity aesthetic, featuring hand-puppet-like characters and absurdist choreography looped with hypnotic repetition, resonated widely online and turned the MV into a viral phenomenon. The video's impact extended beyond music: in March 2022, Nissin Cup Noodles commissioned a parody version titled "MISO食べたい" for a television commercial, replacing the sushi lyrics with a pitch for their miso soup-flavored cup noodles. Within the rhythm-game sphere, the song also appeared in KONAMI's jubeat series. In maimai, it was available from MURASAKi until its removal on July 11, 2019. The in-game background uses the official music video, trimmed to match the playable song length. The Expert chart was designed by はっぴー, and the Master chart by ぴちネコ.
