Overview

tiny tales continue is a high-energy instrumental track by Japanese composer 黒魔 (Chroma / Masaki Sekikawa), first appearing in TAITO's rhythm game GROOVE COASTER 3 LINK FEVER before crossing over into maimai でらっくす BUDDiES PLUS. Arriving on April 12, 2024, under the GAME & VARIETY (ゲーム&バラエティ) genre, the song carries Chroma's signature production style, driving synth leads, crisp percussion, and a relentless 188 BPM pulse that suits both its arcade action origins and its demanding maimai chart. The track features no lyrics, letting its instrumental composition speak directly to the rhythm-game challenge it supports. In maimai, tiny tales continue is notable for its MASTER chart (level 13+, constant 13.9), co-designed by サファ太 (Safata) and ぴちネコ (Pichineko), which pushes into the upper echelon of difficulty with 818 total notes and heavy Touch-note usage. The EXPERT chart, designed by 鳩ホルダー (Hato Holder), offers a level 11 alternative that still demands precision across its 498 notes.
