MÚSECA is part of the [[BEMANI]] line of arcade music video games. After five location tests in 2015, the game was released on December 10th, 2015.


The main concept of MÚSECA is "music game × illustration". This motif was heavily apparent throughout the initial release of MÚSECA, but the Renovation update (which would later become an append version of the game) toned down many of these elements in order to make for a more traditional music game experience while trying to keep the core motif relevant.

Similar to the [[SOUND VOLTEX Information|SOUND VOLTEX series]], the song list is mostly comprised of commissioned artists. Original song contests (named ''Compe.'') are also held. Other than original songs and BEMANI crossovers, there are also [[EXIT TUNES]] licenses, ''DWANGO'' licenses, and Touhou Project arrangements.

MÚSECA's machine serial number and version ID start with '''PIX'''.
From June 26th, 2018, MÚSECA machines can be converted to ''Bishi Bashi CHANNEL'' (ビシバシCHANNEL) or installed with offline kits. (KONAMI's ''SWEETs NUMBERs'', which [https://twitter.com/sugo6sk/status/1088969920925159424/photo/2 was shown at JAEPO 2019], also used MÚSECA spinners.)
MÚSECA's official support ended on July 31st, 2018.

With the reworking of the game in MÚSECA 1+1/2, the GIFT mechanic has been removed and Grafica have mostly been relegated to primarily visual appeal during gameplay. The game is now split into two modes, one focusing on the music game aspect and another focusing on the Grafica aspect. In the latter mode, players can obtain Grafica by unlocking them through Release Missions (解放ミッション). At the beginning of a Release Mission, a canvas sits in the background. The player is tasked with "sketching" the Grafica by playing the given song with the aid of other Grafica. The mission is marked complete if the player manages to finish the image of the Grafica before the song ends. However, if the player fails to complete the Grafica within the allotted time, they will have to start from scratch.

A leveling system called MEDEL was also introduced in 1/1+2. Grafica earn experience points as they are used and their draw power and potency during Release Missions are increased as they gain levels. A Grafica's MEDEL cap is dependent on the difficulty cleared for the Release Mission they're attached to:
