Overview

The Other self is a high-energy rock track by Japanese band GRANRODEO, released as their 20th single in February 2013. The song was composed and arranged by guitarist Masaaki Iizuka, with lyrics and vocals delivered by frontman KISHOW Taniyama, the duo that forms the core of GRANRODEO's signature sound. It was chosen as the second opening theme for the TV anime Kuroko's Basketball (黒子のバスケ), a long-running sports series that follows the Seirin High School basketball team. The opening sequence pairs the song's driving guitar riffs and defiant lyrics with rapid-fire cuts of the show's key characters and match moments. The Other self arrived in maimai as part of the ORANGE PLUS update on October 8, 2015. True to its anime-origin status, the game uses the official music video as the in-game background movie, denoted by the [PV] tag appended to the artist credit. The song originally sat under the ANIME genre in ORANGE PLUS but was reclassified to POPS & ANIME from maimai PiNK onward. On December 14, 2017, The Other self was removed from the arcade song list, making it one of the many pre-DX era tracks no longer accessible in current maimai cabinets. Its two upper-difficulty charts, Expert (designed by はっぴー) and Master (designed by mai-Star), showcase the era's standard-chart design philosophy before the introduction of Touch notes in the DX refresh.
