Overview
フィクサー (Fixer) is a VOCALOID track by the singer-songwriter and producer ぬゆり (romanized as nulut or nuyuri), featuring the voice of flower. Released to the niconico video-sharing scene, the song made its rhythm-game debut in Sega's maimai series as part of the MiLK PLUS update on November 20, 2018, and later crossed over into CHUNITHM CRYSTAL PLUS and ONGEKI SUMMER. The composition sits at a steady 135 BPM with a moody, driving arrangement that pairs introspective lyrics, touching on themes of self-replacement, denial, and the desire to assign blame elsewhere, with flower's expressive, breathy vocal tone. The music video was handled by おざき. Within maimai, the song's Master chart, designed by はっぴー, and Expert chart, designed by サファ太, have both seen multiple level revisions across subsequent DX versions, reflecting how player skill curves evolved from the MiLK era through BUDDiES+. In Asian English releases of maimai, the song is localized under the title Fixer with the artist credited as nuyuri.
