Overview
ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール (Netoge Haijin Shupurehiko-ru), officially subtitled ONLINE GAME ADDICTS SPRECHCHOR, is a Vocaloid track by producer さつき が てんこもり (Satsuki ga Tenkomori). The title translates to "Online Game Addict's Sprechchor", *Sprechchor* being a German theatrical term for a spoken chorus delivered in unison, and the lyrics revolve around the life of someone consumed by online gaming, capturing both the highs and the self-aware humor of the addiction. Sung using a VOCALOID voicebank, the song exemplifies the niconico & Vocaloid style with its driving beat, synth-heavy arrangement, and brisk 175 BPM.
The song arrived in maimai on June 6, 2017, as part of the MURASAKi version update. Its charts have been re-evaluated multiple times across subsequent versions: the Master chart originally sat at level 11+ during MURASAKi, was bumped to 12 in MiLK+, then climbed to 13 in でらっくす+, and finally reached 13+ from FESTiVAL onward, reflecting both the community's growing mastery and Sega's evolving difficulty calibration. The Expert chart by rioN (level 10+) serves as a demanding gatekeeper, while the Master chart by ぴちネコ (level 13+, constant 13.7) packs 888 total notes, a notably round number, that test a player's stamina and precision with dense Tap clusters and an extensive Slide section count of 102.
