'''maimai'' is a RhythmGame developed by Creator/{{SEGA}} for arcades.
The game features a circular screen, from the center of which notes appear and scroll towards the rim, along with a sub-screen at the top showing player statistics.

In addition to standard "tap" notes, the player may encounter "hold" notes that require pressing the button down until the end of the note, as well as "slide" notes in which the player slides their hand(s) across the path indicated by the note.
The game is perhaps best known for its cabinet design, which resembles a front-loading washing machine. Some cabinets also have a camera that allows players to record their performances; however, not every song allows recording.
There have been three main versions of ''maimai'', each with an associated [[UpdatedRerelease "plus"]] version. All six ''maimai'' games are exclusive to Japan and select parts of Eastern and Southeastern Asia.
