Overview
Valsqotch is a maimai original track composed by owl*tree (Kennosuke Ono) with violin performed by chi*tree (chiho "isabel" iwao). It was created as the final-round boss song for the KING of Performai 2019 tournament, marking owl*tree's first boss-song commission for the series. The music video was produced by 鑓田 (alpha complex).
The piece stands out in owl*tree's catalog for its use of irregular time signatures and swung rhythms, rhythmic traits that give the track a lopsided, dancing quality echoing the "valse" (waltz) hinted at by its title. These quirks carry directly into the maimai charts: the Expert chart (designed by はっぴー) features 24th-note shuffle passages similar to those in high-difficulty charts like 高気圧ねこロック and Signature, while the Master chart (designed by jacK on Phoenix) delivers a dense 14.7-constant layout with heavy Touch-note usage (131 Touch notes) and demanding Slide patterns that cement its boss-chart status.
Released on February 14, 2020, as part of maimai でらっくす PLUS, Valsqotch later crossed over into CHUNITHM, Muse Dash, and 太鼓の達人. An extended version is included on owl*tree's album pvq.
