Rockmama by Harumi Fujita (OkanP)

Rockmama is Fujita's first solo album, containing 14 tracks that are homages to many of her favorite video games. Each track originated as a short melody Fujita composed as "OkanP." Rockmama, an homage to her roots as a Rockman/Mega Man composer, fully fleshes out each track into full blown compositions that stand on their own.

About OkanP
In each OkanP video, Harumi Fujita’s son visits his mother’s music studio and calls out to her by saying, “okan,” which is regional (Kansai) Japanese slang that can be translated into English as “Mama” or “Ma” (a more casual and personal version of “mother”). The “P” is shorthand for “Producer,” a reference to Fujita’s role as a music producer. “OkanP” can be translated into English as “Producer-Mama.”
