Masterpieces and popular songs by Fujifabric

Let me introduce you to some tracks by Fujifabric, whose songs carry a somewhat wistful mood that makes them so compelling.

Speaking of Fujifabric, the sudden passing of their vocalist Masahiko Shimura in December 2009 was truly shocking.

Even so, it’s moving to see that they didn’t stop and have continued their activities ever since.

Right after Shimura’s passing, at COUNTDOWN JAPAN, artists who were close to the band performed Fujifabric’s songs.

Among them, Tamio Okuda—who inspired Shimura to pursue music—reportedly broke down in tears during the live set.

Please enjoy the music of Fujifabric, a band beloved by many musicians and fans, and still cherished to this day.

It’s the kind of tune that makes you want to listen while taking a walk.

Not limited to musical activities, I think human expression can broadly be divided into inward or outward—the vector splits into two major directions.

This piece is oriented as far inward as possible, brimming with the tension of stoically driving oneself, probing how deeply one can dig.

The word imagined from “Blue Bird” is “happiness,” yet from this song I cannot help but feel an ascetic, monk-like pursuit of truth.

This is a song from the era when Shimura was on vocals.

If you listen to the lyrics, they sing the famous McDonald’s catchphrase straight up.

It’s a fun track packed with a pro’s playful spirit: sleeping in on a day off, craving a cheeseburger, but still feeling sleepy.
