I Need Someone To Bring Back The Verses And Let Pierro And Her Interact - Blog Posts

Mr. Showtime and Ms. Nothingness!!!

This Mafuyu commission is slowly becoming my favourite Mafuyu commission so far, and honestly it’s well deserved. I have so many thoughts of her commissions’ progression.

For a long time it felt like [the themes] was getting lighter with every commission. Jackpot Sad Girl felt like the song was written for a marionette show, just like how Mafuyu was her mother’s marionette. Reborn is like a small reprieve, a balming essence to the soul, a cry for help perhaps. Bug was her finally realising. Engeki is her taking charge and trying to escape for her own survival. Empurple is her hope of reconciliation.

Yet, the new song felt like her heart has been broken, choked. She is relapsing into trying to please her mother and yet that is hurting her more, like the thorns and barbed wires she set up around her heart to protect it only to get hurt instead. The road to recovery is a long way to go, and it isn’t always easy, but I hope Mafuyu’s story will come to a happy end!!!

The song made me feel a lot of things. It is definitely in the same veins of Unpoison, and definitely feels like a song OWN, not Yuki, would write and compose. A choking sense yet it is her deepest and rawest emotions. It also somehow reminds me of Maretu’s and Kikuo’s songs and I love it.

I also love the 2D MV so much!!! I love the detail of for the first 2/3rds-ish of the MV it shows only Mafuyu and her being alone. Surrounding her are balloons of her different masks and her test papers. Someone pointed it out but at the end with the full group Mizuki is also the only one to be looking up, the only one to have her peace for now because her secret has been told.
