Overview
Tic Tac DREAMIN' is a crossover track from the Irodorimidori franchise, serving as the second solo song for its character Nazuna Tennouzu (天王洲 なずな), voiced by Ayano Yamamoto (山本 彩乃). The song was composed by Bandai Namco veteran Hiroshi Okubo with lyrics by Hiroyuki Onoda, and its music video was directed by 鑓田 (alpha complex). Originally debuting in CHUNITHM AIR PLUS in April 2017, the track crossed over into maimai MiLK on December 26, 2017, where it appears in a shorter edit (2:23 versus the CHUNITHM version's 2:33). Thematically, the lyrics trace a restless creative journey, balancing ambition, self-doubt, and the small detours that delay reaching a goal, woven through phrases like 百花繚乱 (a profusion of blooming flowers) and 画竜点睛 (adding the finishing touch). In maimai, the song initially belonged to the ORIGINAL & JOYPOLIS genre before transitioning to ORIGINAL in maimai DX and finally settling under ONGEKI & CHUNITHM from DX PLUS onward. It is one of the few maimai tracks whose difficulty ratings remained unchanged through the maimai でらっくす PLUS update.
