Overview

"チューリングの跡" (Turing's Trace) is an original composition by US-based BMS producer Frums, contributed to maimai DX UNiVERSE PLUS as part of the 天界ちほー5 (Celestial Area 5) event in June 2022. It marks Frums' first original commission for the maimai series, his prior appearance, "Credits," was an移植 (port) from the BMS scene. The track is defined by a superficially steady BPM of 180 and constant time signature, but beneath that surface lies a dense lattice of polyrhythms and shifting accent patterns that create the sensation of irregular meter. Frums himself stated on Twitter that he originally composed the piece at BPM 360; the in-game version halves that tempo for practical readability, though an 宴 (Utage) chart added in 2025 restores the original BPM. The MASTER chart, designed by the enigmatic 譜面-100号, stands out for its extreme note-type asymmetry: out of 956 total notes, only a single Slide note appears, while 228 Touch notes demand dense palm-and-finger interaction, an unorthodox distribution that has become a talking point among high-level players. The EXPERT chart was handled by Jack, who carried over the rhythmically intricate, hold-note-heavy approach he previously applied to Frums' "Credits" EXPERT. The jacket illustration was provided by 藤ちょこ (Fujichoko), a frequent collaborator on maimai original song artwork. The song was later ported to CHUNITHM, where a different charter (under the alias "Remnants of Blade") handled its adaptation.

Trivia

  • Frums is a US-based BMS (Be-Music Source) composer. 'チューリングの跡' is his second song to appear in maimai, following 'Credits', but it is his first original commission written specifically for the series.
  • Frums revealed on Twitter that he originally composed the song at BPM 360. The in-game version halves it to BPM 180, though an 宴 (Utage) chart added on 2025-03-13 plays at the originally intended BPM 360.
  • The MASTER chart (譜面-100号) contains only one Slide note in its entire 956-note count, a striking anomaly for a level 14+ chart. Conversely, it features 228 Touch notes, making it one of the most touch-heavy high-difficulty charts in the game.
  • Jack, who designed the EXPERT chart, continued the rhythmic and structural approach he established with his 'Credits' EXPERT chart, dense hold-note patterns interwoven with offbeat tap sequences.
  • 譜面-100号 (Fumen-100gou) has been involved with charting every Frums song that appears across Sega's rhythm game lineup, including collaborations on CHUNITHM.
  • After its maimai debut, 'チューリングの跡' was ported to CHUNITHM with a different chart designer working under the alias 'Remnants of Blade' (also known as アミノハバキリ).
  • Jacket art was illustrated by 藤ちょこ (Fujichoko), a well-known Japanese illustrator who has created key art for numerous maimai original songs.
  • The song was initially locked behind 天界ちほー5 progression, requiring players to complete 220 km in the area to unlock it. It received a general unlock on 2023-03-22 during FESTiVAL PLUS.
  • The MASTER chart originally launched as a level 14 (constant 14.8) and was upgraded to 14+ effective from FESTiVAL PLUS onward, reflecting its true difficulty relative to peer charts.
  • The song title 'チューリングの跡' translates to 'Turing's Trace', a likely reference to Alan Turing, the pioneering computer scientist and mathematician, fitting the cerebral, mathematically intricate nature of Frums' compositional style.
