Mafumafu is a Genius: Part 1: The Individuated Artistry of Mafumafu
Here I give a broad overview of the evolution of Mafumafu, explain why I think that makes him a great artist, and briefly explore various aspects of his art. I focus on their relationship to his development only, but later videos will explore them in more depth as independent topics. When I say "true" it implies there are "untrue" artists, perhaps I should have said "great." In any case it's all subjective anyway. As usual, everything I say is my extremely subjective opinion.

![Michael Bublé - Singing with a Fan Live [Extras]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_cw1uLVSl1Y/mqdefault.jpg)
As a vocalist I might be able to explain his high register. Mafu's voice has a natural feminine tone however when he hits those really high notes (around C5 it becomes noticeable) he's using a vocal technique called Mixed Voice. It's a blend of the chest and head voice converging in the mask (nasal canal) due to it being in the nose it causes a nasally/tinny sound and the low end of the chest falls out almost entirely and to get those notes out sometimes the vowels are spread wider. (One example of that would be 123, the Pokemon 2019 op). it's a super popular technique for high notes to where even famous American singers such as Brendan urie, Tyler joseph, ed sheeran and many more use it. Mafu's ability to slide into his mixed range is from a ridiculous amount time perfecting it as it's a challenging technique to figure out. He is one the only singers I've ever listened to has truly mastered the technique.
Thanks for the explanation!
@Hafizh Alfarizi Learning mixed voice isn't incredibly hard, it sounds complex at first but when you figure out the technique it's super easy to slip into. What i'd recommend is looking up tutorials on Mixed Voice. I was fortunate to have a roommate and another bandmate who knew the technique teach me, but now that Mixed Voice is out there and more people are using it the resources for learning and perfecting it are out there. on YT I'd recommend Chris Liepe, Evlynne Hollins and Tyler Wysong, they're what I"d consider the best people for learning mixed voice especially in a healthy way
@@MekaImperfect thank you for taking your time explaining these ! 🤗
Thank jeebus I wasn’t the only one that noticed him being very nasally in his high notes
i think its also because he's a counter tenor. not may males have this kind of vocal production
I love how you included a clip of Mafudonald in the intro-
Same
Since you mentioned his unique voice, I think Mafumafu had some trouble accepting his higher than average voice in the past. Even in the song "I wanna be a girl" he expressed that his voice never lowered like a normal male voice. And he once said in a livestream with Soraru-san that when he went to a voice trainor for advice, they said they couldn't teach him anything because his voice and vocal cords are not very common... While he does acknowledge his own improvement, he sometimes still says that his not good at singing, like in his recent singing livestream. It's kinda sad that he doesn't see his voice as something very impressive because it's one of the most unique voices I've ever heard, you can recognize it instantly. It's also what makes him stand out as a musician.
+ it makes him so cuuute argg hes so naive he doesnt even realize that a lot of people want his voice
yeah from some of his early cover’s it’s like “wait is that soraru”?
Essentially what happened with his voice evolution is that he used to force his adam's apple down to give a deeper/more dopey tone because he didn't like his high voice. As he became more comfortable with it, he started to sing completely normally with his adam's apple in a neutral position. Basically, he used to force a low voice and now he sings naturally.
It makes me wonder: did he hate his voice so much in the beginning that he tried to make it sound low? It sounds strained. Like he's trying his best to stay in that range. And even at his lowest, it's not that low.
kinda yeah :( i think there were ppl(including a voice trainer) in the past tht told him tht his voice is a bit weird
Yeah. His low voice sounded somehow forced to me.
That makes me sad. I LOVE his tone. If you've got a unique talent, do you best to show case it, not blend in. 😣
It's sad cause i can feel mafukun feelings because i had the same problem :/ it's really hard to have a problem like that to hide and you see everybody voice so perfect deep and everything and then youre here not even famous because people dont like it you try your best but it became even more worse
+ It's even more sad because we cant forget the past even if we try hard there will always be like a missing piece in your heart + we(i) werent here when he really needed us (i guess we are all "new" fans here like not old when we had a deep voice)
And I can feel this feeling whdn you really want something that everybody has
Hes been able to get really good sounding low notes lately tho. Such as in his Disney cover, or his collab with Chico with Honeyworks.
I noticed Mafumafu from his cover song "Hated by life itself" and I kept thinking he is female until I knew it.
WHO DISLIKED?!
That one dislike probably because someone mistook it as they hold their phone upside down.
Woaaah Hetalia
gotta kick them in the neck, the head even
@@kris9539 Kill them
Mafumafu literally ages backwards.
How..... Just how....
I think that not only the old utaite community, but the past experiences of his about his voice probably made him want to blend in. I've seen mafu-san say that soraru-san helped him along the way, and maybe he was the one who encouraged him to be himself more. Either way, I'm really glad that we have mafu-san we know and love in our lives. He's such a talented artist and an amazing person.
I cried where he said he was being bullied very extreme. And I started tearing up because I feel him. Of course.... Of course... The reason is too simple. Because I was like that too but different. I was born without having friends when I was little and I don't know the word of friendship means. Even though I had ones, I never felt happy at all. Until this day, I finally tears out despite of how much I've never shown my emotions at all. I was never happy at all because I'm expressionless from such a young age. I always thought of I'm happy and cheerful but I was wrong. I was just faking it. My house environment was literal shit. I was been abused by my family. They keep saying I should make out to make new friends just because I'm a loner that doesn't mean go out. I was being forced. Forced to be in their cages. They never let me out to go meet my true friends. I was suffering without empathy at all. My mental was getting worst. And my depression is getting worst even more. It's like I'm just a bird with a home but cages and needles. And then that's how I stopped reaching out for a hand. It's been for like 10 years I had been suffered this much.
All this years, I always wanted to commit suicide.
By the way. I was being bullied almost a months when I was in primary school. Ever since 7 age to 9. I was forced to being sit with my bully. And I became a victim myself. He always pinch me, stomp my feet and made scars on my arms. I never like him as a friend anymore. Well not until highschool. I stopped appearing in front of him and I started defending myself. Just by bully them. Criticize criticize criticize criticize. Everyday. I hurt everyone feelings so they don't need to involved with me anymore. Not until I met Mafu at the age of 12 years old. I was watching UA-cam and I saw this japanese channel with tons of music. At first the songs are catchy and very emotional alike. And now I know what it is. Those songs are fill with dark lyrics. It sums up with how I feel already. I never felt so colorful before. All this time I'd had been suffering, I forgot how so precious that is music and emotions through it. I stopped thinking suicide and I want to get out from my family as soon as possible. And since I'm 10th grade, I don't care about my mom crying on me for go back. I'm not falling for that bullshit. She had abuse me for such years that I won't forgive. Even the whole family. I do not care about you, Mom and the others. (Especially my dad who's not involved with this)
Not until I feel relieved when you're gone in my existence. I tell the teachers for sure. And make you feel karma. Oh sweet revenge~
I'm sorry to hear about your bullying, it's easy to break a mind. I saw other people on the internet with depression actually attempt suicide and regret it later, so thank you for avoiding it. I hope you could serve your familly justice!
@@krystal2026 thank you it's hard to live something like this and I still thinks of suicide but thank you I love you my friend
+ it's even worse when people tell you to stop being cold and yo make up with your mother because shes your mother and you dont havr any other mother but no bro sometime it's better to just do nothing because it's a waste of energy they can't change, it's not your fault and it's isnt being selfish
@Zero (ehehe videos of cats>>>)
@@iwanttokillmyself206 I am aware my mother is just full of narcissist and abusive. She always go with like do you want the money? I may want it but at least I'm not greedy for money. I just want to be loved. All of my family neglected me. I thought my dad wasn't supposed to be included but he emotionally neglected me as well.
I just don't know anymore
Mafumafu is srsly a genius
His voice, lyrics and music itself r just wow
another noticeable artist is miyashita yuu! he has a very unique voice and also has a heavenly feminine voice!! he is also has crazy good control over his voice and is nicknamed the "king of harmony" its a shame that he's extremely underrated,.. 😭
i love mafumafu just as much 😭😭 he conveys so much emotion through his voice and he deserves his fame!! 💕💕💕
I may discuss his cover of Unknown Mother Goose if I make a video on that song (which I plan to).
@@ewik8840 that would be nice!!
YESSS we need more people to recognize our king 👑!
his covers of kilmer and wozwald are absolutely a joy listening to. the way he can change the tone of his voice reflect on the characters in each respective song is breathtaking to say the least. i can't put into words how awestruck i am with his voice,,
YESS I AGREE SO!
I've been Mafu fan since his cover of lost ones Weeping. His covers at the time made me feel less of a monster and more or human. Vocaloid songs, while their lyrics are crazy good, the voices can really make you super depressed.
At the time I was only 12 or 13 so I didn't understand everything but I still loved it, he kinda cheered me up? And I didn't hate myself as I did when I was just listening to Vocaloid. And so I would just blindly follow him. I think that his songs started getting subs around that time, I just know that on one of his older songs, when I clicked on it, it had subtitles.
I was just in live with him. The more I listened and followed him the more Utatie I found. And I guess I was there for his voice transformation. And now like, in 2019 and 2020 first reactions to Mafu started popping up. And now this XD
I just can't, I'm so happy for Mafu and his sudden recognition of people around him.
Well, I also saw Mafu as a total genius, until I found Miyashuta Yuu.
Miya-San... has a better vocal range then Mafu, I recommend you check him out.
While Mafu will always be my number 1 singer. I mean I'm now 19, and I grew up listening to Mafu. But Miya is my number 2. He can go from a WOMANS voice all the way up to a normal man's in just a second. His songs sounds great because of that.
Miyashita Yuu is certainly a technically gifted singer with a unique aesthetic, and I've listened to quite a bit of his music. There's something about him which doesn't personally connect with me though. I was thinking of making a video about his cover of Unknown Mother Goose, but I don't have enough to say about that one cover specifically, though if I make a video about that particular song (which is a masterpiece), I'll certainly mention his excellent cover.
@@ewik8840 oh yes! Still thank you for covering Mafumafu! You don't know just how happy this made me as his fan hehe
yuu is a bit more of technique while mafumafu is more emotion
I can’t seem to get myself to recognize Miyashita Yuu because of this 😂
And I mostly appreciate people who have distinctive voice because I’ll always know it’s them but I really can’t with Miyashita Yuu
I’m also just a fan not any vocal teachers or have any experience in singing, so I dunno what technique he’s using so I don’t find myself engulfed in his covers since I dunno how great he is
@@ketsuekikurochi7647 mmm. Your opinion.
I guess I just love how much he plays with his voice during his covers. He isn't close to Mafumafu in my eyes but I still love him as much. Especially now when he's straying away from the covers and going more original.
0 ppl dislikes it because we all love mafumafu
Except one dumb dumb....smh

@@Sanshiro_3San mmh, maybe they are from Australia?
@@Sanshiro_3San i am disappointed in these 3 persons
i came to agree that MAFUMAFU IS ACTUALLY A GENIUS.
Eh? The tone of mafumafu during his mafugenesis is so different!!!!! Dude! Wow! I never got to listen his old covers! Wow
I listened to one of his 2010 covers some time ago and I get really impressed. I like him a lot and I also like watching him grew up in happiness
For me his lyrics (of course combined with the amv and his own singing) are the thing that made me like mafumafu the most. I mean, they are so incredible and touching, and carrying a lot of different meanings in each verse. waiting for your next mafumafu video!
Mafumafu is my favorite utaite. He's so precious and has a amazing voice. Thank you for this wonderful video! 💖
This is the best analytical video on mafu I’ve seen!!
As a huge Mafumafu fan, I approve
I think recently Mafumafu is not depressed as before as he writes more happy and upbeat songs now, so as a fan of his dark lyrics songs I actually felt a little disappointed. ( but I’m glad his living happily now)
He’s using his high voice more often since ” I want to be a girl” ,I kind of missed his soft voice in his older songs. Example of the soft voice I said is like the voice he used in “I love .......” and “Watagashi “
Why am I crying --
wtf, mafumafu's development in 3 years is amazing
Ahhh. Finally an English mafumafu video. Thank you!
Recently found out about mafumafu, I’ve like vocaloid when I was in middle school and when I heard his cover of Roki with Soraru, it was almost life changing in a way, his vocals are amazing! Once you hear them you want to listen to it more! (Almost like a small pill of happiness you need) i really want to get to know him better and this just made me a bigger fan! I look forward to seeing him in concert one day when everything is over, as well as listening to new songs from him! :) so happy I found him!
Amazing... Your dissection of his music was absolutely beautiful. Mafumafu is truly an angel, he's got so much ahead of him as an artist. I enjoyed this very much, Thank you for making it!
His vocal change is definitely due to getting more comfortable in his voice and figuring himself out. He said he just wanted to try once and was like "Huh, I guess I CAN reach that".
He was only like 19 when he started, right? So I'd bet over the past decade or so, practice and learning himself has allowed him to improve
this is a seriously amazing video, kudos man. it clearly shows mafu's transition throughout the years and whatnot;; the ending got me emotional ww
Aww, finally found an English documentary video about him! Nice video dude!🥺✨🙌🏻
this is actually a well-made video!
Mafu is an angel
Impressive video. I only knew mafumafu from his cover on Gen Hoshino’s Koi so I learned so much from this
Not even lieing i found his music when I was in a mental hospital, And it helped me have more curage to express my feelings to my family, because of that I have had much more luck through tharapy and medication, I hope he knows how much he helps his fans
man this video made me remember it's been almost 8 years sincs i've been listening to mafu, time really flies and i'm so glad he's come so far ㅠㅠ there's barely any good analysis videos on utaites in general internationally so i'm grateful for this! *mafumafu goat ♡*
Wow, this is really well done, all of the other documentary videos of Mafu I've seen are either in japanese or very badly made, you did amazing!! I hope you can keep creating content like this ^^
bro this is so well done www
thank you so much for this video. it’s so heartwarming to see you share your appreciation for mafumafu. he truly is so incredibly. I love his music and I admire him a lot, and I’m sure a lot of others do too. stumbling upon his music was one of the most special things that ever happened to me.

I'm so happy this video exists
Thank you so much for making this video. People really needed to know and this is a great explination.
Mafumafu and sorarus voices are a match made in heaven, I'm so happy he's feeling comfortable with his voice now.
woahh this is so well made!!! i've been waiting for a video like this, cant wait for part 2 😄 (also the fact that this only has around 400 views is criminal-)
Will we ever get a follow up?
I absolutely loved this video and come back to it quite often!

This is actually giving me some tips on what I need to be at least a good utaite in the future, thank you. I'll work on my low range a little more. My high range is already perfect (considering that I've sung the nightcore version of Roshin Yuukai and passed the High Range Test)
Thank you! This is truly a beautifully done video! Gl in the future~
I've never been so grateful for UA-cam recommendations as I do now. Thank you for this video. I'm really happy because I found someone who loves Mafumafu's art and I just don't know wat to say but I'm really happy
Sorry if I did mistakes... I'm not very good in English 😅
very sick erik
Thank you for the video! Mafu’s such a cool guy, I really look up to him :0
I actually liked his low voice in the past and thought those songs were extremly rare, since it actually were much more difficult work with voice for him. I'm a bit sad actually that he rarely uses it but it's obviously easier for him personally and I'm very happy for him finding his comfort zone in singing and in opening himself to a large amount of people. I'm listening to Mafu from about 2013 and seeing him finally winning against his personal problems brings a lot of peace to my heart. His music helped me a lot too, always giving me power from nowhere to continue doing my things and live.
Oh my God this video essay is absolutely wonderful amazing work, I can't wait to watch the next one
i need to show this to my whole class
Overtime he just opened up his head voice and became less constrained when he's singing with his head voice (like being too focused on expanding his diaphragm or trying to use his falsetto ) which kinda explains why he was able to adapt to such high notes?
Or he could be a prodigy I'm not experienced also
No wonder Mafumafu's cover for Neru's songs are a special thing
I found this video in my recommended and really liked it, I'd love to see more utaite content in the future!
Lol I love the intro:)
dude I don't even need to watch the video the title is enough for me to like and I'll watch later because I really gtg now
will probably sub idk
yeah forget it imma sub
am i the only one who's never heard any of his covers from back in 2012? i'm just more in love with his voice now than i was before. it's kinda hard to believe it's the same person! (i wish my voice could do that)
Lets face it. We are here for his voice
Agreed

Очень интересно, но ничего непонятно 🥺. Может смогу с помощью переводчика что-нибудь понять. Если тут есть русскоговорящие, то скажите о чем тут речь. Я тольк понял, что он восхвалял Мафу-куна. Мафумафу ангел, который спустился к нам с небес и подарил нам музыку 🥺🤧🥰
приятно видеть здесь ценителей раши (´ω` )
здесь автор рассказал о том, как Мафу стал тем, кем мы его знаем сейчас и почему его по праву можно назвать гением среди музыкантов интернет-эры. я, как переводчик, думаю перевести что то такое, может быть и с японского, потому что на русском подобных документалок даже об именитых вока-пи я не видела и это грустно
Yoko Insou ++. Про мафу-куна я много чего знаю. Даже про его самые первые каверы и песни. Я бы с удовольствием посмотрел видео о нем на русском ٩( ᐛ )و
