Overview
Tell Your World is a Hatsune Miku Vocaloid track produced by livetune (the solo project of kz), originally commissioned as the theme song for Google Chrome's Japanese "Start Your Web" (あなたのウェブを、はじめよう。) advertising campaign in 2011. The single was released in 2012, and the song arrived in maimai PLUS on March 7, 2013, early in the series' lifespan, as part of the niconico & VOCALOID genre category.
The lyrics paint a picture of intangible emotions taking shape, with points becoming lines and lines becoming circles that connect everything, a metaphor that aligns naturally with the Chrome campaign's message about building connections through the web. In maimai, Tell Your World has been a mainstay across every region (Japan, International, USA, and China) since its debut. Its charts have undergone several level revisions over the years: the Basic and Advanced difficulties were raised from their original levels as the game's difficulty scale evolved, while the Master chart eventually settled at level 12 and the Re:Master chart, added later during maimai PiNK PLUS on September 8, 2016, at level 13. The EXPERT chart, jointly designed by 譜面-100号 and はっぴー, was originally credited under the collaborative alias "合作だよ" until maimai DX PRiSM PLUS updated the attribution. The Master chart was handled by mai-Star, and the Re:Master by 某S氏. Tell Your World also appears in CHUNITHM AIR and オンゲキ PLUS, making it one of the most widely circulated Vocaloid tracks across SEGA's rhythm game lineup.
