CHUNITHM Mate, the latest arcade version of Sega Fave's music game, launched July 2, 2026, with a Doki Doki Literature Club collaboration event running from September 25 to November 11. CHUNITHM is one of three titles in the King of Performai The 8th tournament, whose online qualifying round runs October 29 to November 23.
CHUNITHM's current version is CHUNITHM Mate, launched by Sega Fave on July 2, 2026. A pre-release livestream on July 1 included gameplay, GeKi! ChuMai information, and a 10th anniversary retrospective with special guest players. The update added songs, collaboration events with Monster Hunter Wilds and Takopi's Original Sin, revival events for Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and Groove Coaster, new maps, unlock challenges, and a song linkage event with maimai DX and ONGEKI.
On July 1, 2026, Sega Fave also launched the Gekichumai Original Song Portal, which aggregates over 1,300 original songs from maimai, CHUNITHM, and ONGEKI. The site supports browsing by song, track previews, in-game level data and related videos, and playlist creation and sharing. A playlist campaign tied to the maimai Deluxe MUSiC LiVE2026 event ran through July 10.
The next content addition is a Doki Doki Literature Club collaboration event, announced September 22 and running September 25 to November 11. A limited-time event map lets players obtain characters, name plates, and stage backgrounds and raise character ranks for titles. The ending theme Your Reality, remixed by Kenji Mizuno, joined the game on the same day.
Competitively, Sega Fave will hold King of Performai The 8th, its national tournament for maimai de rakkusu, CHUNITHM, and ONGEKI. Entries opened October 9, 2026. The online qualifying round runs October 29 to November 23 and also runs on the maimai DX and CHUNITHM International versions, so players outside Japan enter the same bracket. The two International finalists are decided by online results alone because the Last Chance Qualifier is domestic only. The finals are February 14, 2027 at Tokyo International Forum Hall B7.
