Zutomayo “Yomosugara” MV (It’d be fine if it stayed midnight forever.)

Dark, unsettling vibes that are stylish and cool! A track by the music unit “Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni,” widely beloved by younger generations under the nickname “Zutomayo.” It’s a tie-in song chosen as the opening theme for the drama “The Murders at the Clock House.” Released in March 2026, the piece pairs lyrics that project an endless overnight loop of thoughts and a distorted kind of benevolence with an inviting sonic texture.

While the striking open-reel phrases make it a pleasantly listenable song, its intricate melodies are shaped into a pop sensibility—arguably making it a work that epitomizes today’s music scene.

ZUTOMAYO “Can I Come See You With Cream?” MV (ZUTOMAYO – CREAM)

The artist known as the “night-loving” Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.

(Zutomayo) is a band characterized by vocalist ACA-ne’s soft, high tones.

Many of Zutomayo’s songs are stylish, so I imagine a lot of women feel like giving them a try.

If you sing them, aim to keep a relaxed feel overall without belting, and since the rhythms can be tricky, try singing with a lightly swung vibe.

In the chorus, there are parts with lots of words and some wide interval jumps, so don’t force it—keep it light in ACA-ne’s style.

Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni. 'It's Not a Lie' MV (ZUTOMAYO – Truth In Lies)

While harboring loneliness, this beautiful song expresses deep affection for another as an almost obsessive attachment.

Unable to convey one’s feelings honestly, forced to hide one’s true heart even when wanting to speak it aloud, that bittersweet emotion is vividly portrayed through a husky vocal.

Released in May 2024 as the theme song for Studio Colorido’s animated film My Oni Girl, this track marks a new frontier for ZUTOMAYO.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when love has you overthinking, when you can’t be honest with yourself, or when you’re ready to face the feelings you’ve kept tucked away in your heart.
