VERTeX (rintaro soma deconstructed remix) is a remix of Hiro's original VERTeX, which first appeared in maimai ORANGE. For the maimai 10th anniversary celebration, composer and arranger rintaro soma, known in the maimai series for his original song sølips, reimagined the track in a style the game later labeled "Intelligent Psytrance." The remix retains the original's driving energy while introducing a sharper, more deconstructed production approach befitting its subtitle. The song debuted in maimai でらっくす FESTiVAL PLUS on July 7, 2023 as a Perfect Challenge unlock within the 10th Anniversary Area 2, requiring players to clear it after traveling 1000 km in the area. From maimai でらっくす BUDDiES PLUS onward, it became available by default across all regions. The track notably carries no lyrics, letting the layered synth work and psytrance-influenced rhythm take center stage. One of the most talked-about aspects of this song is its MASTER chart, which was designed by rintaro soma himself, marking the first time a composer personally created a chart in the maimai DX series since the chart for OTOGEMA. The EXPERT chart was designed by Jack, a regular maimai notes designer. The MASTER chart sits at level 14+ with 936 notes, featuring dense Touch and Slide patterns that reflect the composer's intimate knowledge of the track's structure.
