Overview
Composed by 八王子P (Hachiouji-P) as the character theme for Meg Meg (メグメグ) in the competitive smartphone game #COMPASS (コンパス), バイオレンストリガー (Violence Trigger) brings Hatsune Miku's VOCALOID energy to maimai with a driving 196 BPM electronic-rock arrangement. The track's title and lyrics lean deliberately into violent imagery, gunshots, requiems, and a narrator who takes obvious pleasure in destruction, creating a theatrical contrast with the pop-like melodic structure and Miku's high-pitched delivery. The music video, animated by Ryo Asakura with character art by ぽあろ, reinforces this duality by depicting Meg Meg in combat-ready poses that mirror her in-game abilities.
Violence Trigger entered maimai でらっくす PLUS through the #COMPASS collaboration area in March 2020, initially gated behind a 100-meter distance unlock before receiving general availability that July. The song later crossed over into CHUNITHM and オンゲキ, making it one of the select VOCALOID tracks shared across all three SEGA arcade rhythm game series. In the maimai community, the chart pair is notable for the contrast between はっぴー's spacious Expert design at level 10 and サファ太's dense Master chart at 13.2, the latter packing 832 notes with a heavy concentration of Slide and Break patterns that demand precise execution from advanced players.
