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.

Fujifabric is a band formed in 2000.

It originally started as a four-piece, with then-vocalist Masahiko Shimura writing most of the songs.

After his sudden passing in 2009, the band has continued with three official members and a guest drummer.

They keep performing many of the classic songs from the Shimura era with new arrangements, while continuing to forge ahead and create a new chapter in their history as a rock band.

“Wedding Song” Fujifabric mp4 -
wedding songFujifaburikku

This is a wedding song included on the album “MUSIC,” which the remaining members completed from songs left behind by Masahiko Shimura, the former vocalist of Fujifabric.

There’s also a story that Shimura secretly wrote it for a staff member who was getting married, and you can feel the unadorned spirit of celebration.

The sound is simple, and the lyrics are composed of plain, unembellished words, so the straightforward feeling of blessing comes through, even if a bit clumsily.

It’s a warm song that teaches us there’s no need for roundabout words at a celebration—what matters are honest words infused with genuine emotion.

This is Fujifabric’s version of “Konya wa Boogie Back.” The guitar sound is striking, and unlike Ozawa Kenji’s version, it has a folk flavor that makes you want to say, “This is fun!!” It’s a cover that transforms the danceable original into a Fujifabric-style arrangement.

March of the RainFujifaburikku

A track included on Fujifabric’s second album, FAB FOX, released in 2005.

It opens with a mechanical, minimalist keyboard accompaniment, followed by the distinctive vocals of Masahiko Shimura.

Although the song exudes a very eerie atmosphere throughout, many Fujifabric fans find themselves wanting to listen to it on gloomy days or when they’re feeling down.

The lyrics, written by Shimura, are also compelling for their literary expressions.

There’s plenty of room for each listener’s own interpretation, so be sure to come up with one that’s uniquely yours!

The commercial song for minimini’s rental and real estate information ads: “Phone Call with Mom,” “Bittersweet Move,” and “Farewell to My Beloved Dog.” The track is included on their ninth major album, STAND!!.

Is it because of this commercial that listening to this song makes me feel like going back to my parents’ home?
