Overview

World's end loneliness is an original boss track composed by 打打だいず (D-D-Dice) for maimai DX UNiVERSE PLUS, released on August 5, 2022. It marks the composer's debut in the maimai series, a notably high-profile first appearance, as the song was immediately positioned as a challenging centerpiece within the 7sRef area. The track runs at a driving 205 BPM, though its intro begins at a measured 180 BPM and gradually decelerates through 155 to 100 before surging to full speed, a structural gimmick that sets the tone for the intensity to come. The song's MASTER chart, designed by 翡翠マナ (Hisui Mana), carries a difficulty constant of 14.9 and contains 1,234 total notes, an unusually precise note count that itself has drawn community attention. The chart is notable for weaving together pattern motifs from earlier maimai original tracks: axis-press slides reminiscent of Strive against fate, the rapid irregular patterning (乱打) of ほしぞらスペクタクル, and the break-note streams from sølips. This was only 翡翠マナ's second maimai chart, following GIGANTØMAKHIA. The EXPERT chart was designed by Jack. World's end loneliness was initially unlockable via Perfect Challenge in 7sRef Area 2, requiring 1,200 km of cumulative distance. It later served as a qualifying song for the KING of Performai The 4th tournament (maimai DX division), during which it was temporarily made freely available from November 10–30, 2022. The song has since been expanded into a small franchise within the maimai catalog: an extended version appears on the maimai DX Goods Campaign DiSC -FESTiVAL- soundtrack, a sequel titled World's end BLACKBOX was added in maimai DX PRiSM PLUS, and composer Sakuzyo contributed a quintet arrangement on D-D-Dice's album World's Eclipse.

Trivia

打打だいず (D-D-Dice) had previously contributed to other rhythm game series, including Groove Coaster Wai Wai Party (Cosmo Start) and Taiko no Tatsujin (星河一天, Hello, Mr.JOKER), before World's end loneliness marked their maimai debut, and it was immediately given boss-song status.
The song's intro features a tempo gimmick: it begins at 180 BPM, then gradually slows to 155, then 100, before rocketing up to 205 BPM for the main body of the track.
The MASTER chart, designed by 翡翠マナ, was only their second maimai chart ever, following GIGANTØMAKHIA. It deliberately quotes pattern motifs from three earlier maimai originals: the axis-press slides of Strive against fate, the irregular random patterning (乱打) of ほしぞらスペクタクル, and the break-note streams of sølips.
The MASTER chart has exactly 1,234 total notes, a conspicuous number that has become a talking point among the maimai community.
The music video uses footage from the four 7sRef-area song MVs, tying the track visually into its area's narrative.
A flavor text (フレーバーテキスト) accompanying the song reads, in part: 'Hey, Acid. Do you know how the world begins? It's a very simple thing. The shape of the world called you. The shape called you.' The text references seven boxes, a key left by Orant, and a sunset-colored box containing a fragment.
The song was one of three qualifying tracks for the KING of Performai The 4th maimai DX division online preliminaries, and the timing of its temporary free unlock led many International-version players to correctly predict it would be a tournament qualifier.
An extended version appears on the maimai DX Goods Campaign DiSC -FESTiVAL- mini-soundtrack and the maimai DX Best Album Area 2 soundtrack.
A sequel, World's end BLACKBOX, was added to maimai DX PRiSM PLUS on July 11, 2025, continuing the title's naming theme and narrative universe.
Composer Sakuzyo contributed a remix titled World's end loneliness (Sakuzyo Quintet Arrangement) on D-D-Dice's album World's Eclipse, alongside a remastered version of the original.
The ADVANCED chart received a rhythm adjustment in maimai DX FESTiVAL, altering the timing of some notes.
The song is unlockable by default from maimai DX FESTiVAL PLUS onward. In the Chinese version (舞萌DX 2023), it became available from November 2, 2023.
