Overview
アンクローズ・ヒューマン (Unclosed Human) is a Hatsune Miku Vocaloid track that debuted in maimai でらっくす Splash as a launch title on September 17, 2020. The song brings together a notable production team: composition and music video by Kaja (カジャ), lyrics by Tota Kasamura (傘村トータ), arrangement by Nejishiki (ねじ式), and vocal tuning by cillia (シリア). The title "Unclosed Human" evokes a sense of incompleteness or unresolved emotion, a theme echoed in lyrics that speak of searching for someone through an "answerless credits roll" and grappling with farewells left unsaid. The song's brisk 178 BPM drives an energetic yet melancholic soundscape typical of the niconico & VOCALOID genre. Beyond maimai, the track also appears in CHUNITHM PARADISE, where it was added at that version's launch. The maimai DX MASTER chart, designed by Safata.Hz, carries a distinct piece of arcade rhythm game history: it reuses pattern segments from the Standard Re:MASTER chart of World's end dancehall (ワールズエンド・ダンスホール), a well-known VOCALOID track also present in the maimai series. This borrowing gives knowledgeable players a moment of recognition within a otherwise original chart.
