Japanese music project Zutomayo (ずっと真夜中でいいのに。) released its new single “Fig Smoke” (イチジク煙) on July 6, alongside a music video that premiered on YouTube the same day.
“Fig Smoke” serves as the opening theme for the TV anime “Two People Smoking Behind the Supermarket” (スーパーの裏でヤニ吸うふたり), which began airing on July 9. The music video was directed by G-ko, who also helmed the video for Zutomayo’s April release “Ultra Tamashii,” with character design once again handled by Yutaka Kinuya.
Zutomayo previously contributed theme songs for the same anime alongside artist imase, according to a related report from March 2026.
Who is Zutomayo?
Zutomayo, whose full name translates to “It’s Fine to Stay Up All Night,” is a music project led by songwriter and vocalist ACAne, who performs without revealing her face publicly. The project first drew widespread attention after its debut YouTube upload, “Byoushin wo Kamu” (Biting the Second Hand), surpassed 5 million views within about three months of its June 2018 release.
Zutomayo released its first mini album, “Tadashii Itsuwari kara no Kishou,” in November 2018, followed by its first full album, “Sensenwa,” in October 2019. In August 2020, the project released its third mini album, “Hogaraka na Hifu Tote Fufuku,” and kicked off the national tour “Yakiyaki Yankee Tour (Aburi to Kunsei Hen)” that November.
In February 2021, Zutomayo released its second full album, “Gusare,” which included “Kuraku Kuroku,” the theme song for the film “The Dark Maidens,” its opening track “Kamin,” and “Tadashiku Narenai,” the theme song for the movie “The Promised Neverland.” In May, the project held a two-day solo concert titled “CLEANING LABO ‘Nure Ochido'” at Makuhari Event Hall in Chiba. In July, Zutomayo released “Baka ja Nai no ni” as a collaboration track for animation studio MAPPA’s 10th anniversary.
