Overview
うい麦畑でつかまえて (Ui Mugibatake de Tsukamaete) is an original song by Ui Shigure (しぐれうい), a VTuber, illustrator, and manga artist known for her energetic online persona. The track was composed, arranged, and written by the music circle Nanahoshi Kangengakudan (七星管弦楽団), whose work also appears elsewhere in the maimai series with songs like おねがいダーリン and 抜錨. The music video was produced by Kiroton.
The song first appeared on Ui Shigure's album fiction in 2024 before crossing over into Sega's rhythm game lineup. It debuted in CHUNITHM X-VERSE in August 2025, and arrived in maimai でらっくす CiRCLE on January 9, 2026 as part of the DX song library. The title is a playful pun combining Ui's name with mugibatake (麦畑, barley field), evoking a lighthearted chase through fields that matches the song's bright, pop-rock energy at 168 BPM. In maimai, the song is accompanied by a set of collectible in-game titles that nod to Ui's VTuber catchphrases and production-culture humor, further tying the track to her online identity.
