The maimai BGA for SEKAI-chan to KAFU-chan no Otsukai Gassoukyoku always gets a good laugh out of me compared to the youtube version
It's literally mosaic tiles lol considering that the MV has multiple references which were censored
@@sigmarthcipherius5153 exactly
They can't cut anything because everything is a reference, instead they'd just censored everything. 😂😂😂
Maimai’s music videos and BGAs are really amazing to just look at. Like, you can’t look at me and say that these videos aren’t literal eye candy.
the one MV that I always find interesting is the one for Mopemope. They just put a video of a boat cruising around during the "cursed" parts of the original video
3:17 the reason why the maimai cut is different is because the original youtube cut references the Packing Pests minigame from Rhythm Heaven
The mirror effect in 1:31 actually is a throwback to how OG maimai (up to FiNALE) show videos that weren't in 1:1 aspect ratio
The reason why the two BGA's are the same at 6:10 is because they're both from the Metropolis area so they're probably just reusing stuff since its the same theme
all metropolis chiho mvs use the same clips, at this point i just call them metropolis stock footage
I was about to mention that one. You can go back to the very first Metropolice Chiho songs like 魔ジョ狩り, Twisted, and Blows Up Everything; they all had pretty much the same "MV"
Just wanna nit 1:42, it's BMS not IIDX. Common mistake that doesn't matter too much but they're different games with relatively different communities like ITG vs DDR :)
Oh yeah at 3:15 it's probably edited bc it's a rhythm heaven reference
great video! i'm happy someone else appreciates background videos, they have just as much work put into them as the song and chart and i'm glad there isn't an option to disable them
small note though, at 1:42 IIDX ≠ BMS (despite having the same gameplay) and songs like ozma, Rush-Hour, etc. were made for BMS
i find it interesting solely because it looks like some maimai made songs have a whole story behind it and i did wrote one on reddit it was very fun
Theres also some cases like inchaos, crush on you, beat of mind, fujin rumble and vertex which originally had a MV that got removed in later versions
hell yeah new maimai content
lore discussion when
0:20 In fact, all music had videos at the beginning until the inclusion of some Touhou songs (starting from Yet Another Drizzly Rain and Saishuu kichiku imouto ichibu koe)
The reasons were: 1) Sega's decision at the press conference of Maimai Finale and Maimai DX; 2) Songs that supported real-time rendered background (function started from Orange) cannot remain that function on the new cabinet, so these songs remained their static cover on the new cabinet
theres some charts actually designed with the bga, not many RGs able to do that. For example 1:12 the bga is one of the UI back in maimai green, the note is like tapping the skip button.
mope mope be wilding fr
Mope mope be like: here’s a boat, go wild
3:15 Im 50% sure its because the footage is a parody of rythm heaven
I definitely agree that these videos are pretty amazing, it adds a lot to the experience of playing the game. I remember when I used to play maimai DX; I loved the MVs of some of the songs. It makes me sad that maimai FiNALE decided to turn off their MVs for the offline version because that’s the only maimai cab closest to me 😅
Originally maimai didn’t really commission specific BGAs. besides visualisers for certain songs there’s also the motion capture BGAs for pop songs and later anime OP sequences , dance videos from niconico (oh the days) and later MVs, game music accompanied with game footage and Joypolis ones lifted straight from Halfpipe, the physical ride attraction. Being a casual oriented game some charts even ask you to mimic movements from the dance MVs (particularly the nico ones), but I suppose it was out of integrity that originals have their own MVs since the Joypolis ones also had theirs.
There are only a handful of games that actively commission BGAs to use them in game (IIDX, EZ2DJ, DJMAX, maimai, Beatstream [RIP], WACCA plus the idol ones). The thing with BGAs is that it’s an additional cost (and storage space) for a song, and I think that’s part of the reason why some tracks are visualisers jammed together especially in the early DX era where the future might be uncertain for them since it’s kind of a soft brand reboot. Later originals are mostly just the usual BGA MVs featuring OCs (which I have mixed feelings about, I don’t particularly feel anything about the OCs because they don’t have deep lore like Chunithm, maybe writing scripts for so much characters is also an incurred cost).
But that’s why I appreciate maimai’s BGAs or just BGAs in general, they elevate already awesome songs into a whole new level. When I play the songs on the cabinet or watch the MVs from old ones like Glorious Crown to new ones like Sølips and Tsunagite, I do really feel like I’m viewing a piece of artwork. You could say that they’re obligated to do it as it’s part of their identity, but it’s definitely something that goes over people’s heads and I do appreciate Sega and other companies’ continuous sponsorship for the growth of an art form and medium.
I’m really happy to see someone talks about music videos in maima, they put a lot of effort in to it but there is just not much people talks about it
great video quality man
you can find 1 maimai mechineS in Canada😂😂
HI WATER IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN !
i love this video tbh
hey man did you see they added pop'n music jubeat and ongeki to cityheroes
I saw ongeki got added I didn't see the others, definitely going to check it at some point
All songs in the metropolis chiho use generic videos for the bga
