Overview

WiPE OUT MEMORIES is a commissioned mega-mix medley produced by t+pazolite for maimai's 10th anniversary, added on July 11, 2022 as part of the maimai でらっくす UNiVERSE PLUS update. The track is a high-energy, 210 BPM retrospective that draws from t+pazolite's long history with the series, he has contributed original songs to maimai since the GreeN era, and is described on the Japanese wiki as nothing short of a culmination of maimai's original music catalog. The song has no lyrics and runs 2:16, making it a purely instrumental celebration of the franchise's sound. The accompanying music video, credited to maimai All-Stars, is itself a landmark feat of curation: it splices together clips from the official MVs and jacket art of roughly 242 maimai original songs released up through UNiVERSE PLUS, presented in rough chronological order from the arcade's 2012 debut. The MV also served as the first public preview of the FESTiVAL theme song ホシシズク (Hoshishizuku), which appears in the video before its own in-game release. A handful of songs were excluded from the MV, most notably cross-brand collaboration tracks, April Fools specials, the 言ノ葉Project (Kotonoha Project) songs, and the 7sRef area tracks, while some licensed songs that received original maimai-produced MVs (such as NIGHT OF FIRE and ウッーウッーウマウマ（ﾟ∀ﾟ）) were included nonetheless. The MASTER chart, designed under the collective credit maimai Fumen All-Stars, mirrors the song's retrospective theme by quoting actual note patterns from classic maimai original charts, including passages from Regulus, Our Wrenally, HERA, TEmPTaTiON, larva, BREaK! BREaK! BREaK!, and AMABIE. Most quoted sections are sped up to match the track's 210 BPM, most notably HERA's dense vertical-trill segment. The EXPERT chart was designed by Jack, another longtime maimai contributor. WiPE OUT MEMORIES was also selected as one of the qualifying songs for the maimai でらっくす division of KING of Performai The 4th, and it was temporarily unlocked for all players during the online qualifier period in November 2022.

Trivia

WiPE OUT MEMORIES is one of the original songs commissioned specifically for maimai's 10th anniversary, alongside OTOGEMA, though where OTOGEMA leans heavily on parody, WiPE OUT MEMORIES is a straight-faced retrospective pulling from a full decade of original material.
The music video references 242 maimai original songs in rough chronological order, from the earliest titles to UNiVERSE PLUS-era tracks.
Composer t+pazolite has been contributing to maimai since the GreeN version (2013), making him one of the series' longest-running external artists.
The MASTER chart was designed under the group credit maimai Fumen All-Stars and includes direct pattern quotations from classic original charts, sections borrow choreography from Regulus, Our Wrenally, HERA, TEmPTaTiON, larva, BREaK! BREaK! BREaK!, and AMABIE, most sped to match the 210 BPM tempo.
The HERA vertical-trill passage near the end of the MASTER chart is running at 210 BPM rather than HERA's original tempo, making it significantly faster and a common point where players drop combo.
Beyond the chart quotations, the song itself samples audio from VERTeX and the 'maimai!' shouts from welcome to maimai!! with マイマイマー.
The MV for the FESTiVAL theme song ホシシズク was first shown to the public within the WiPE OUT MEMORIES music video, before the song was added to the game.
Some songs classified under the 'maimai' genre were excluded from the MV: cross-brand collab tracks (maiム・maiム, マイオドレ！舞舞タイム), April Fools releases (全世界共通リズム感テスト, 遺伝子レベル∞スパイラル), the 言ノ葉Project songs, 7sRef area tracks, and fellow 10th anniversary song OTOGEMA, while certain licensed songs with maimai-original MVs (NIGHT OF FIRE, ウッーウッーウマウマ, Like the Wind [Reborn], and others) were included despite not being maimai-genre.
The song was initially unlockable as a Perfect Challenge in the 10th Anniversary Area after accumulating 760 km of distance, then temporarily made freely available from November 10–30, 2022 as a KING of Performai The 4th qualifier song.
In the Asian and Chinese versions of maimai DX, WiPE OUT MEMORIES is unlockable from launch.
The EXPERT chart was designed by Jack, a longtime maimai chart designer who has contributed many of the series' most memorable note patterns.
