All songs

Overview

ヴィラン (Villain) is a VOCALOID track by producer てにをは (Teniwoha), sung by the voice bank flower. Originally released as a single on February 29, 2020, the song gained traction across NicoNico Douga and YouTube for its moody, mid-tempo production and lyrics that frame social alienation through the metaphor of being cast as the villain in someone else's story. The music video, animated by ねここ (Nekoko), complements the theatrical tone with stylized, monochrome visuals. The song crossed into SEGA's rhythm game ecosystem through CHUNITHM NEW before arriving in maimai でらっくす FESTiVAL on September 15, 2022, available in all regions from launch day. Its maimai reception has been shaped by a full five-chart lineup capped by a Re:Master chart at level 13, designed by カマボコ君, which packs unusually high densities of Touch and Break notes into its 2:08 runtime. The Master chart, laid out by 緑風犬三郎 at a difficulty constant of 11.8, and the Expert chart by はっぴー at 9.2, round out a set that rewards both pattern recognition and stamina. ヴィラン also appears in オンゲキ bright MEMORY, cementing its status as a cross-franchise VOCALOID staple within SEGA's arcade lineup.

Trivia

ヴィラン was first released as a digital single on February 29, 2020, a leap-day date that matches the song's offbeat character.
The track was written, composed, and arranged entirely by てにをは (Teniwoha), who has also released a self-cover version independently.
The music video was created by illustrator and animator ねここ (Nekoko), whose visual style contributed to the song's viral spread on NicoNico Douga.
Before arriving in maimai, ヴィラン debuted in the rhythm game space via CHUNITHM NEW, launching simultaneously across all regions.
In maimai, earning rank S on the Expert chart unlocks the title "蛇蝎ライフ" (Dakatsu Life, roughly 'Life of Venom and Spite'), while clearing with at most one miss unlocks the title "で?" (De?, meaning 'So?').
The Re:Master chart by カマボコ君 contains 111 Touch notes, one of the highest Touch-note counts among level-13 charts from the FESTiVAL era, and 49 Break notes, demanding precision on both the touch screen and standard buttons.
In the Chinese version (舞萌DX 2023), ヴィラン was added on December 15, 2023, three months after its Japanese and international release.
The song's lyrics include the repeated phrase 'Mr.Crazy Villain Villain' and reference 'Dr.Duran Duran,' a wordplay on the 1980s band Duran Duran that underscores the song's pop-culture-literate tone.
