Overview
浮世絵横丁 (Ukiyoe Yokochou) is a high-energy instrumental track originally entered in THE BMS OF FIGHTERS ULTIMATE 2017 (BOFU2017), where it placed 12th overall. The song was created by the collaborative unit 魔界都市ニイガタ (Makai Toshi Niigata), comprising three BMS and rhythm-game composers: Tedjimo yomigY (黄泉路テヂーモ), dawn-system, and Kayuki (かゆき). Its BMS genre is listed as "tatamiser," a playful portmanteau of tatami (畳, Japanese straw mat) and riser that evokes the Japanese aesthetic referenced in the title, ukiyo-e woodblock prints and the narrow alleyways (横丁) of old Tokyo. The accompanying BGA was created by 自動車原付 (Jidōsha Genzuki).
