2018, Mafumafu (lyrics and music), “朧月 [Hazy Moon]”:今宵は誰がために踊るのでしょう
霞む 私は朧月
手繰り寄せる 朱殷の糸口よ
貴方に続けと願う- Koyoi wa ta ga tame ni odoru no deshō
Kasumu watashi wa oborozuki
Taguriyoseru shuan no itoguchi yo
Anata ni tsuzuke to negau - For whom will I dance tonight?
I'm a hazy moon that's growing dim
The dark-red ends of the threads are reeling in
I wish they'll connect me with you
2019, Mafumafu (lyrics and music), “曼珠沙華 [Red Spider Lily]”:「来过来一下」
そして心に背いて
誰が為に芽吹くの?
薄れずに 色味帯びていく
憂いと彼岸の花- 'Lái guòlái yīxià'
Soshite kokoro ni somuite
Ta ga tame ni mebuku no?
Usurezu ni iromi obite iku
Urei to Higan no hana - 'Lái guòlái yīxià'
Against the heart,
For whom will it sprout, I wonder?
Tinging with everlasting tones
That is the lily of sorrow
