All songs

Overview

U.S.A. is the Japanese-language cover of the 1992 Italo dance classic by Italian singer Joe Yellow, transformed into a national phenomenon by Japanese pop group DA PUMP. Originally released as a single in 2018, the track became an inescapable hit in Japan, known as much for its catchy chorus as for its instantly recognizable dance routine. DA PUMP's version credits arrangement to KAZ and Japanese lyrics to shungo., while the original composition belongs to Claudio Accatino, Donatella Cirelli, and Anna Maria Gioco. The song runs at 139 BPM and is categorized under POPS & アニメ in SEGA's rhythm game ecosystem. U.S.A. was added to maimai DX (でらっくす) on July 11, 2019, as part of the arcade version's launch lineup. It holds a unique place in maimai history as the only launch-title song to receive a Re:MASTER difficulty chart on the very same day, the first Re:MASTER DX chart ever released in the series. The Re:Master chart, designed by 譜面-100号, consciously incorporates movements inspired by DA PUMP's choreography, visible from the opening measures. The chart set was completed by Master designer はっぴー and Expert designer サファ太. U.S.A. was later removed from arcade cabinets beginning March 24, 2022, delisted from Asian region machines with the UNiVERSE update and from Chinese cabinets with 舞萌DX 2022, making it inaccessible on current maimai DX installations outside of legacy hardware.
