Through delicate lyrics and an emotional melody, it portrays the inner cries of a protagonist tormented by anguish so deep they wish for death, yet lacking even the courage to end their life.
Released in January 2021 and included on the album “Yoaiseki Universe,” the song was written for the smartphone rhythm game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku.” It is a track that tenderly embraces those who are exhausted by living or burdened by pain they cannot share with anyone around them.

This is the opening theme song of the anime Pokémon, which is hugely popular among elementary school students.
It’s performed by After the Rain, a duo made up of Soraru and Mafumafu, both very popular with kids.
The song was released as an After the Rain single in 2019, and later covered by artists like Nishikawa-kun and Kirisho and the Karaage Sisters.
It’s really exciting to have a beloved anime’s theme sung by such popular vocalists! The lyrics are an uplifting cheer song, so I think it’s an essential hit for elementary school events like sports day.

Apple Fireworks and a Sea of SodaMafumafu6rank/position

This song brilliantly blends the scenes of a summer festival with the darker sides of society, showcasing Mafumafu’s uniquely sensitive artistry.
The Japanese-style melody and rock elements are perfectly matched, and the high-tone vocals leave a strong impression.
It was released on Niconico in August 2014 and is included on the album “Ashita-iro World’s End.” While it takes summer traditions as its theme, the lyrics carry a profound message that prompts reflection on social contradictions and one’s inner self.
The line about not wanting to become an adult who laughs while drinking soda made from someone’s tears really lingers in the heart.
How about listening to it alone on a summer night and facing your own feelings?

Featuring danceable beats and a melody that sticks in your head after just one listen, this is a work Mafumafu released in November 2020.

The catchy rock sound will have your body keeping time before you know it.
