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.
