Overview

YU-MU is a Touhou Project arrange performed by 岸田教団&THE明星ロケッツ (Kishida Kyoudan & THE Akeboshi Rockets), added to maimai on February 4, 2016 with the PiNK version. The track reworks 幽夢 ~ Inanimate Dream, the final boss theme of Yuuka Kazami from the 1998 PC-98 title 東方幻想郷 ~ Lotus Land Story, the fourth game in the Touhou series. Arranged by band leader Kisida with vocals by Ichigo, YU-MU first appeared on the circle's 2007 debut album 幻想事変. In maimai, the song was originally accompanied by an animated PV taken from the fan-made 東方活動写真館 (Touhou Katsudou Kinemakan) video series, specifically the segment 東方花神楽. That video was removed during the MiLK version update due to rights circumstances, replaced by a static jacket illustrated by 蒲焼うなぎ (Kabayaki Unagi) sourced from the band's 2013 best-of compilation きしだきょうだんのベスト!. Chart-wise, YU-MU offers a level-13 Master (constant 13.2) designed by rioN and a level-10+ Expert (constant 10.6) designed by 某S氏, both representative of the PiNK era's Touhou arrange style, energetic rock with brisk slide patterns and dense tap streams.

Trivia

  • 幽夢 ~ Inanimate Dream, the source material for YU-MU, is the final boss theme of Yuuka Kazami from 東方幻想郷 ~ Lotus Land Story (1998), the fourth game in the Touhou Project series.
  • YU-MU was originally released on the 2007 doujin album 幻想事変 (Gensou Jihen), the debut album of 岸田教団&THE明星ロケッツ.
  • The in-game jacket uses artwork from the band's 2013 compilation きしだきょうだんのベスト! rather than from 幻想事変, likely to avoid duplicate jacket art across maimai's song library.
  • The animated PV that originally played during YU-MU in maimai was taken from 東方活動写真館 第二幕 (2010), a fan-made Touhou animation. It was removed as of the MiLK version update and replaced with the static jacket.
  • In Asian English releases of maimai, the artist name is displayed as 'kisida kyoudan &The akeboshi rockets'.
  • YU-MU has undergone substantial level adjustments across versions: Expert rose from 9 (PiNK) → 9+ (DX+) → 10+ (UNiVERSE+), and Master rose from 10+ (PiNK) → 11 (DX+) → 12+ (Splash) → 13 (UNiVERSE+). The Advanced chart was bumped from 6 to 7 starting with FESTiVAL.
  • The Master chart (level 13, constant 13.2) was designed by rioN, a charter known for many Touhou and original maimai charts. The Expert chart (10+, constant 10.6) was designed by 某S氏.
  • The song's lyrics, written by Kisida and sung by Ichigo, evoke dream imagery, sunflowers, and mirages, thematically tied to Yuuka Kazami's identity as the flower master of the four seasons.
