Konomi Suzuki's sixth single, "This game," debuted in 2014 as the opening theme for the anime No Game No Life (ノーゲーム・ノーライフ), an adaptation of Yū Kamiya's light novel series. The track was composed by Mitsuru Wakabayashi with arrangement by eba and lyrics by Yuki Misao, delivering an energetic rock sound that channels the series' themes of high-stakes strategy and defiant individualism. Lines such as "We are maverick, we don't need salvation" capture the unyielding spirit of protagonists Sora and Shiro. In the maimai arcade series, "This game" was introduced during the MiLK version on January 23, 2018, categorized under POPS & ANIME. Due to licensing restrictions, the song was limited to Japanese-region cabinets and was ultimately removed from rotation on November 2, 2023, with the BUDDiES update. The maimai version uses the TV-size edit (approximately 1:28), whereas sister rhythm games CHUNITHM and ONGEKI feature longer cuts. The gameplay background draws directly from the anime's opening animation. The song's charts were designed by two notable creators: the Expert difficulty by 玉子豆腐 (Tamago Tofu) and the Master difficulty by 某S氏 (Bou S shi)—the same designer who handled the CHUNITHM Master chart for this track. The Master chart, rated level 13 with a constant of 13.3, contains 528 notes with a particularly high Break-note count of 60, making it the most demanding chart in the set.
