This is fucking amazing. This is what would be trending on niconico douga in 2013. Mafumafu would fucking love this Edit: relistening and i just noticed the glass shard noises i am FLOORED that is mafumafu in the flesh right there

[@ales_7440]

I'm a listener from China and also a fan of mafumafu. Honestly, your ability to create this song from scratch is really amazing! Many times when I want to do something, I feel like "I'm not him, I can't do it, I don't have the talent," or I give up halfway through countless difficulties. But you did it, you have surpassed the vast majority of people! I want to offer you a little help with my limited knowledge: if you find mixing difficult, especially if you often can't hear what changes the effects bring to the sound, it's very likely because your listening equipment and environment are not good enough. Mixing has high demands on equipment, requiring professional monitoring speakers and acoustical treatment (which is very expensive!), and using less expensive but still not cheap monitoring headphones can only be barely satisfactory. In fact, mixing is not difficult to learn, it just requires experience and good equipment.(Translated by GPT 3.5)

As she said Mafumafu lyrics is about his life experiences and for this song if you watch it from the beginning to the end you can understand that this portrayed her experience as she made the music and honestly its a banger i guess this is a head bopping depression song. But honestly props to her for not giving up and the Japanese editor for translating it.

YOU'RE LIKE A FULL ON PRODUCTION COMPANY NOW WITH YOUR ART AND MUSIC SKILLS for real though this is seriously SO good, like I absolutely NEED this song on spotify rn!! as someone also very into mafumafu's music and vocaloid songs in general, this sounds so legit and so professional that i can't believe this is your first time producing music, let alone something as complicated as the end result :0 as someone who dabbled in music production but always wanted to get into it more, your dedication inspires me so much!! i also feel less intidimated about how to get started now (would love to know what videos are in your 'musicishard' playlist lol), so thank you! may i ask if you happen to have any further tips for someone who would like to start making music but also kinda knows nothing about how? seriously, your perseverance is literally astounding like how were you able to get through months of that grind?? i don't even have the words to describe just how incredible i think this is and you are, but i respect you so much 😭 thank you so much for the video (i hope it goes viral cuz it definitely deserves to), and happy new year!!

[@ferdbirb]

thanks so much for your comment, it means a lot to hear that! tbf i wasn't on the grind for the whole time, i spent several months not doing anything most days cause i kept losing motivation but hearing this really puts it in a different perspective, so thanks again for your kind words!! 🥰 i'm probably not that qualified to give tips since i wasn't super methodical about learning in the beginning and just let the algorithm keep recommending me things LOL but to get started what helped me was watching a bunch of beginner-friendly YT videos to ease into it, like from how to start the song/make a melody (e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2eymIGmic-oeNUsi=ZPK6pNPRckebeBZQ) -> to how to do arrangement after you have an idea (i think this was one of my first videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKi3gaSAgNR5jZosi=EJFz3RggmeGulXWj) and looking up how to do stuff as you go along ("i need chords, drums, etc"). if you want to see the entire process there's also "making a song from scratch"-ish videos to help you get an idea of what you need to do my playlist has more mixing videos so it might not be as helpful for production (i also dumped everything vaguely music-related into it so it's a mess) but i recommend making your own! happy new year : )

[@papercrane6099]

Holy shit the lyrics are so well written?? the banger instrumental??? The tuning??? All 10/10 it was an amazing song, watching your process and then listening to the final product felt life-changing

[@Toutaro]

素晴らしい。 私にこの曲、この動画を形容するための語彙が無いのが悔しい。とにかく今はあなたをものすごく褒めたい。 一体どれ程の想いがあって、どんな気持ちで、どれほど挫折したのか、どれだけ辛かっただろうか、逃げ出したかっただろうか、全て投げ出して諦めたいと思ったのだろうか。 「〇〇に似ている曲を作る」というジャンルは日本にもあるため、それに準ずる動画かな？と最初は思っていた。だというのにあなたはそれを超えてきた。我々視聴者の期待を大きく上回っていたと言えるだろう。(※興奮して上から目線になっているかもしれないので先に謝っておく🙇‍♂️) ⚫︎この曲を聴いた感想 「あなた本当に日本語わからないの？冗談はよしてよ」が第一声。まず言語にはイントネーションの違いがある、当然だ。 異なる言語を翻訳した後、自然な形に歌詞や曲調に落とし込むのには物凄い時間を要したと思う(それ以外にもたくさん時間が掛かっているが、素人目に見て最初にそう思ったんだ)。 この耳で聞く限り、ほぼイントネーションの違和感は無い。誇ってほしい。 ⚪︎次、この「MUSIC IS HARD」の歌詞について -その前にある、曲作りの過程を記した日記のような曲だと思った(月並みな感想かもしれないが、どうか許して)。 私なりの解釈をするなら 「埋没費用効果」→一度決めたことをやり遂げるまで諦めないの意 「徒労より諦める方が大切」→今ならまだ引き返せる 「作曲しない作曲家」→「まふまふの曲」を作ると意気込んでいる貴方 「現実見えない目」→同上、この時はまだわかっていなかった 「ボクと関係ない背景」→「まふまふの曲」ではなく「最善」を作ろうとしている 「景色の邪魔」「いらない　変われないものだけ切り捨て」→「最善」を求めている最中 「遠く離れていく」→「まふまふの曲」から遠のいている etc… それでいてメロディラインにはまふまふさんのような曲調をしっかりと醸し出しており、非常に聴いていて面白いと感じました。 ⚫︎最後に 2024年が始まってすぐに、こんなに愛に溢れた素晴らしい動画に引き合わせてくれた運命と、その素晴らしい動画を作った貴方に感謝を。正直見始めた時はこんな長文を書くことになるとは思わなかった。それだけ貴方への感想が溢れてきた。数多の中の一視聴者と推してこれからも応援をさせていただきます。 ちなみに日本ではスラング的なものとして、何か(ここで指す「何か」は「推し」でも良いし「物」などでも良い)愛が溢れた結果素晴らしい結果を残した者に贈られる称号があります。 それは 『変態(HENTAI)』 です。 下品な意味の「HENTAI」ではなく。敬意を表した上でそう呼称します。貴方は 『愛すべきHENTAI』 です。

[@ferdbirb]

心のこもったコメントを本当にありがとうございます！！！😭 気持ちをうまく表現する言葉を持ち合わせていませんが、とても嬉しかったです！歌詞の解釈もとても興味深く読ませていただきました。動画を気に入っていただけて本当に嬉しいです！ Thank you so so much for your lovely and thoughtful comment!! I don't have the words to express my feelings properly but it made me very happy! Your analysis of the lyrics was also super interesting to read, I'm so glad you liked the video! :)

[@Frog.cutelove]

日本のまふまふファンです🇯🇵 とっても素敵な歌をありがとうございます。 限りなくこれはまふまふさんの曲に近いです！✨ 34:43 に「歌ってみた」という歌詞を入れるのに感動しました😭 日本語の歌詞を書くのは大変だったと思いますが、日本人の書く日本語とかけ離れてなどいなく、上手だと思います！ １つ１つの音をナチュラルにして、歌詞の語尾や言葉遣いを整えたら完成度が高くなると思います。 最後にもう一度、素敵な音楽をありがとうございます🥰 これからも一緒にまふまふさんを応援しましょう💪

[@ferdbirb]

優しいお言葉を本当にありがとうございます！！ 一緒に応援しましょうね💪

[@phoenxflyr]

i can tell you loved this project, i am quite proud of you. you are an inspiration Ferd

[@syu2852]

できたできなかった以前にここまで諦めず完成させたこと自体が凄すぎる。 尊敬します。

[@yun4._.]

限りなくまふまふらしい曲調だけど、完全に彼の作った曲と同じメロディは入っていないところに尊敬と愛とオリジナリティが詰まっていて感動しました😊 十何年と聴いていたら本当に難しいことだと思うのに、これができるのは才能だと思います

[@Nerscylliac]

I know nothing about Mafumafu, vocaloid, jpop, or anything of the sort, but as a musician, i can confidently say that this absolutely fucking slaps. There is so much diversity in the music, it's dynamic and chaotic, yet structured and organised. To think that you believed this is *bad* is a sin. You should be not only proud of yourself, you should be celebrating! You are right, making music is hard, but by god have you hit the nail on the head here. I genuinely mean this when i say you have potential. And don't let the fact that you drew a lot from Mafumafu's style detract from that idea of potential- everybody starts somewhere, and everybody has their inspirations. Modern music is absolutely chock full of sampling, copying and referencing. Keep at this and keep sharing your music. I believe you will go far!

[@BritishAlbedo]

Dude I cannot even describe the words for the level of insanity this is. The fact you made such an insane goal, not only went through with, but made an ABSOLUTE banger???

[@liandry9333]

Miss your meme-y content and am glad to see you're alive! As a long time fan of Mafumafu's music, this actually sounds pretty legit and sounds like it could even pass as a Vocaloid song in all honesty (I can already hearing the Kagamine twins singing this lmfao). I think for your first time trying, this doesn't sound bad at all.

[@harumochi345]

I am using Google Translate. Hello, I'm a Mafumafu listener from Japan. I was deeply moved by this video. Not only is the quality of the song high, but the video is very easy to watch and the 35 minutes went by in a blink of an eye! I was very moved and had a lot of respect for you, who put a lot of time and passion into creating the song and completed it with the desire to create a song like Mafumafu-san. . I was inspired by Mafumafu and thought to myself, ``I want to try making music,'' but in the end I couldn't continue studying for more than three days. I think it was incredibly difficult to not only think about it, but also execute it and complete the song. You are so cool that you did it! ! 🎉I would like to give you a warm round of applause for creating "Music is Hard" by patiently continuing to study and practice music and Japanese. This video truly conveyed your energy and perseverance, as well as Mafumafu's strong love for music! !❤ It gave me a lot of courage. thank you! it's the best! ! !🎉🎉🎉😭🥳👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ 以下、日本語文です！ Google翻訳を使用しています。 こんにちは、私は日本のまふまふリスナーです。私はこの動画に深く感動しました。楽曲のクオリティが高いのはもちろん、とても見やすい動画で35分があっという間でした！ 「まふまふさんのような曲をつくりたい」という思いを胸に、楽曲制作にたくさんの時間と熱意を注ぎこみ曲を完成させたあなたにとても感動し、そして尊敬の念を抱きました。 私にもまふまふさんに感化され「音楽を作ってみたい」と思ったことがありましたが、結局勉強は3日と続きませんでした。思うだけでなく実行し、曲を完成させることは気が遠くなるような難しさだったと思います。やり遂げたあなたは最高にかっこいいです！！👏👏音楽や日本語に関する勉強と実践を根気よく続けて「ミュージックイズハード」を作りあげたあなたに熱い拍手を送ります👏✨ あなたの行動力と根気と、まふまふさんの音楽に対しての強い愛がこれでもかというくらい伝わった動画でした！！ とても勇気をもらえました。ありがとうございます！最高です！！！😭🥳❤️✨🫶🏻

[@F.a797]

This is the best video of 2024. I don't think anything will ever top this in this year (except MafuMafu singing this song)

[@demii_m_]

GOD JUST IMAGINED IF HE SINGS THIS I WOULD PASS AWAY BYE-

[@Rosetintedwater]

I DON'T KNOW WHO MAUFMAU IS BUT AS A VOLCALOID FAN I NEED HIM TO SING THIS WHOEVER IT IS!!!!!!!!

[@demii_m_]

@@Rosetintedwater there’s no way you’re a vocaloid fan if you don’t know who mafumafu is😭 he is one of the most famous known utaite of all time and he produces vocaloid songs as well! YOU SHOULD SEARCH HIM UP MORE🫦

[@孤途こみち]

すげーーー！！！ 知識０から完成まで持っていく事自体が凄いのに、曲もコンセプト通り「っぽい」し、歌詞のクオリティも日本語初心者のものとは思えない。なんか自分も頑張ろうって思いました。素敵な動画をありがとう。

[@juanmuertt279]

You have just COMPLETELY proven to me that the phrase "efforts beats talent" (or whatever it is in english, i do not talk in english) is true, even tough you nedded a year to do this song is a complete banger, there's a little confusing things here and there, but you did a completely amazing song, loving.the song, gonna play it till i'm dead

[@1o18_x]

凄い…めちゃくちゃ凄い…曲を創るまでに至った過程も含め､メロディー､皮肉めいた歌詞､全てからまふまふへの底知れぬ愛を感じました🥹💘 一人のまふまふファンとして本当に貴方を尊敬します。 日本語字幕もありがとうございました！こんなに有意義な35分間は久しぶりでした。貴方の動画に出逢えて私は幸せです。どうか､まふまふさんご本人にも届きますように𖤐ˊ˗（以下Google翻訳にかけた文章です。私の感動が少しでも貴方に伝われば嬉しいです！） Amazing...so amazing...I felt the bottomless love for Mafumafu from everything, including the process of creating the song, the melody, the sarcastic lyrics 💘 As a Mafumafu fan, I really respect you. Thank you for the Japanese subtitles too! It's been a long time since I last had such a meaningful 35 minutes. I'm happy to have come across your video. Please, I hope it reaches Mr. Mafumafu himself 𖤐ˊ˗

[@ferdbirb]

優しいお言葉をありがとうございます！！気に入っていただけて本当に嬉しいです💕

[@waruihato]

Dusting off my keyboard and guitar. Been tossing up composing something for years but music is hard... This was the inspiration I needed! Can't wait to exclusively listen to the finished track on repeat for a 2 weeks straight.

[@ferdbirb]

aaaaa I'm glad this could help you in any way and thank you for the donation!! 😭

[@ぽんぽた-g9x]

あなたの努力は紛れも無く、「凄い」の一言に尽きます…… その熱量に脱帽

[@knoniezzimlou2193]

ANY FELLOW MAFUMAFU FANS WHO ARE VOCALISTS WANNA COVER THIS?!?! I DO!!!

[@minminnie8479]

IMMEDIATE YES

[@mikyafty734]

I TOTES WOULD AHH

[@apreslapluie7735]

まふくんの曲ではないけど、まふくんを目指して作った曲だとわかる。ファンの鏡の曲だ。私もまふくんみたいな曲が作りたいと思ったことがあるけど、始める前に諦めちゃったから尊敬する。

[@bibiinoliv]

honeslty the end product is INSANELY good considering you basically knew nothing about making a song in the beginning and the dedication?? the amount of time it took?? also im not really a fan of vocaloids (i love to hear emotion in the singers voice and i don't really get that from vocaloids) but?? THIS ONE IS SO GOOD??? and the lyrics are literally so wjsbwjwbwjsj I LOVE IT!!#!#! congrats on the song and i hope mafumafu actually sees this!!!

[@kiyoshi5430]

THE END RESULT IS WAYYY BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. THE LYRICS MADE ME WANT TO TEAR UP A BIT LIKE MIDWAY THROUGH THE CHORUS I COULD FEEL MY SOUL SUCCUMBING TO THE UPBEAT DEPRESSION. YOU DID SO GREAT!!!!!!! You should upload it officially!!! I'd love to listen to it again from time to time

[@TheStarNinja]

As a fellow person who has listened to Mafumafu for a pretty long time I think ミュージックイズハード does sound pretty close to his songs. I think you did a really good job with it and I think I’ll listen to it from time to time since I like it so much. You also got bonus points as my mom looked at me weird as I banged my head to the song at the dinner table. The urge to cover it is actually crazy dude! You did a wonderful job! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ 母に「どうして変な曲を聴いているの?」と聞かれて、その時に「この曲はまふまふさんの曲をよくまねしてるな」と気づきました。この曲への愛を日本語でもっと上手に表現したいと思います。 作ってくれてありがとう、フェルドさん! (つ•̀ᴥ•́)つ*:･ﾟ❤️

[@mizu5deadlist]

man i cannot be more glad to have had the youtube algorithm recommend this to me. the process in and of itself already got me emotionally attached to this absolute banger and now i kinda wanna see mafumafu sing it 😭

[@yen2201]

Honestly, the song is actually a banger. I'd listen to it while drawing Damn this is pulling me back to listen more mafumafu songs

[@ヨウ-l6u]

動画すごく面白かったです！35分とは思えない満足さでした。 できあがった曲もまふまふさんっぽい要素が詰まっているのに、同じメロディーが全くなくて、本当にすごいし、感服です。 どう考えても難しいのに、あきらめずにちゃんと一曲作り上げたその努力にも脱帽します。 同じまふまふファンとしてとても感動しました。ありがとうございます！ どうかこの動画はご本人のところまで届きますように！ （英語ができない海外ファンなので、日本語でコメントを書きました。もし変なところがあったらすみません。 この感動が伝われば嬉しいです...！）

[@Taka-sg5ni]

日本人です。海外の人がまふまふについてやるの本当に嬉しいねぇ

[@thubir]

まふまふの曲に対するすさまじい熱量とリスペクトが伝わってきて素晴らしいです。そして面白い。ずっと笑えました。 私も10年弱まふまふを聴いていますが、なるほどまふまふっぽい！と思えるメロディでした。その研究熱心さに最大限の敬意を。 歌詞は、確かにまふまふっぽい言葉選びなのに雰囲気は全く違くて、これはこれで面白いと思いました。彼が泥酔した状態でLSDをキメて書いたら、こんな歌詞になりそうです（侮辱しているわけではありません！実際、彼がたまに「あたま大丈夫か？」とリスナーに言われているのに似ていると思います）。強いて言えば、早口のパートが少し多いかな？という感じはします。しかし、本人も最近ラップ詞をよく書くので、むしろ時代を先取りしている！とも言えますね。 そしてとにかく調声が素晴らしいです！私もUTAUをいじったことがありますが、ここまでうまく出来るまでにどれだけの苦労があったかと思うと、頭が下がりすぎてマントルに額がつきそうです。 日本のリスナーにもこの動画が広まるよう、あえて日本語でコメントさせて頂きました。これからのご活躍を応援しています！！！

[@ferdbirb]

優しい言葉を本当にありがとうございます！！日本語でうまく伝えられませんが、動画を気に入っていただけてとても嬉しいです！ "泥酔した状態でLSDをキメて書いたような歌詞"　本当にそうですねww

[@やま-y9v3q]

知識ゼロから諦めずここまで曲作り完成させるのも凄いし、そもそも動画編集能力が高すぎて、普通に喋ったり解説してた時の動画も面白く見れました！すごすぎます🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Thanks for actually sticking through months of production and bringing yourself to learn so much, end product was worth it. The dedication and frankly somewhat deranged but endearing (concerning) fanaticism that went into it shine through. YT algorithm blessed me with this one, good shit. sa⤴sa⤴sa⤴

[@starmi362]

ITS SO GOOD I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OR GET OVER IT Especially the lines "what have you been doing until now?" or "where has my life gone" THEN IT GOES HIGH PITCH WITH THE DRUMS ITS JUST JSVAHEJHAWJAGGAJAVAKSKAVSSJHW the lyrics are so relatable it hurts so much as an artist with the pressure to constantly improve and when people ask has your art improved enough for selling AGH the song is absolutely phenomenal
