Overview

Trrricksters!! is a high-energy collaboration between s-don and 翡乃イスカ (Isuka Hino), originally produced for CHUNITHM CRYSTAL and later ported to maimai DX as part of the FESTiVAL PLUS update on March 23, 2023. The track belongs to the オンゲキ＆CHUNITHM genre category, reflecting its origins in SEGA's three-machine crossover ecosystem. Its competitive pedigree runs deep: it first appeared as the final-round exhibition piece at ZENZA of Performai CHUNITHM division during KING of Performai 2019, and was later chosen as the final-round song for the maimai International division at KING of Performai The 4th. This tournament heritage informs the track's relentless, high-stakes energy at a driving 155 BPM. Musically, Trrricksters!! is a direct sequel to Booouncing!!, the duo's submission to THE BMS OF FIGHTERS ULTIMATE 2016 (BOFU2016). A third installment, Glooorious!!, would later follow for the osu!mania 7K World Cup 2023, forming a trilogy united by the signature triple-letter and double-exclamation naming convention. The title itself, "Trrricksters!!", is a stylized take on "tricksters," fitting the mischievous, bombastic character of the composition. An extended version of the track, along with a t+pazolite remix titled "Trrricksters!! (tpz over-Over-OVERHEAT REMIX)", appears on the Trrricksters!! album and CHU REMIX CD. The jacket illustration, drawn by 厳井崚 (Ryo Itsukai), features 黄泉の盟主ネルガル (Nergal, Lord of the Underworld), a CHUNITHM character. Trrricksters!! stands as one of the most widely ported CHUNITHM original songs, appearing in seven different rhythm game titles including DJMAX Respect V, Cytus II, D4DJ Groovy Mix, Groove Coaster 4MAX, Arcaea, and オンゲキ, tying with 怒槌 for the top spot in cross-game reach. Within maimai, the Master chart (level 14, constant 14.3) was co-designed by the duo サファ太 vs -ZONE- SaFaRi, marking their first collaboration since BREaK! BREaK! BREaK! on a maimai chart. The Expert chart (level 12+, constant 12.8) was designed by みそかつ侍 (Misokatsu Samurai). The song is instrumental with no lyrics.
