Overview
veil is a vocal track by Japanese singer-songwriter 須田景凪 (Keina Suda), who handled composition, arrangement, lyrics, and vocals. The song gained widespread recognition as the first ending theme of the Fire Force (炎炎ノ消防隊) anime series, a position that introduced it to audiences far beyond the rhythm-game community. Its music video was created by アボガド6 (avogadro6), a well-known illustrator whose distinctive visual style complements the song's introspective, mid-tempo atmosphere.
In maimai, veil debuted on November 26, 2021 as part of the DX UNiVERSE generation, initially exclusive to the Chinese version of the game (舞萌DX). Asian territories received it several months later in April 2022. The track remained available through multiple version updates before being removed from Chinese cabinets beginning September 2024 (舞萌DX 2024) and from Asian cabinets later that same month (maimai DX BUDDiES PLUS), making it a time-limited addition to the series.
The chart lineup includes Expert and Master charts designed by 隅田川星人 (Sumidagawa Seijin) and Jack respectively. Jack's Master chart at level 12+ (constant 12.7) is notable for its dense Slide patterns, 116 Slide notes out of 576 total, a signature trait of the designer's style that rewards players comfortable with rapid slider formations and spatial awareness.
