Overview
Unfinished Epic is a maimai DX original song built around a narrative of cyclical tragedy and eternal partnership between dragons and humans. Its lyrics, penned by SLAVE.V-V-R and sung by Sor△, follow a dragon who repeatedly encounters the reincarnation of a lost companion, each time hoping to break free from the cycle of sorrow and find resolution. The in-game flavor text reinforces this lore: a dragon reflects on having witnessed a human's journey across ages, questioning why all dragons are born to bond with humans, yet still offering a gem to the next reincarnation. The track debuted in the PRiSM PLUS update on May 9, 2025, as part of Dragon Area 4 (ドラゴンちほー4), continuing the Dragon Area storyline with a contemplative, high-energy electronic-rock piece at 185 BPM. An extended version was later released on the maimai DX Goods Campaign DiSC -CiRCLE- mini-soundtrack, and the music video was produced by K島 and TAPI岡.
