"Maze" (stylized as "m•a•z•e") is Kumi Koda's sixth domestic CD single. The single charted at #25 on Oricon and stayed on the charts for five weeks.

m•a•z•e is Japanese R&B singer Kumi Koda's sixth domestic single under the Avex sub-label Rhythm Zone. It charted at #25 on the Oricon Weekly charts and, despite the low charting, remained on the charts for five weeks. The single was her second single released for her studio album, grow into one.

The single's b-side, one, featured Japanese R&B singer LISA, who would later feature both Kumi and the Heartsdales in her song Switch. Both Kumi and the Heartsdales would also be featured in the music video, which carried a futuristic, but grunge-looking Tokyo.one was also placed on the corresponding album, grow into one. Despite LISA being in the song, the track listing on the back covers of the single did not list her as the featured artist.

Both m•a•z•e and one made it to the album grow into one, but only m•a•z•e had its own music video placed on the DVD 7 Spirits.

In 2015, thirteen years after the single's release, Kumi would perform the song one with LISA live during her 15th Anniversary Premium Live at a-nation island.

m•a•z•e was used during a scene in the NTV drama Psycho Doctor (サイコドクター / SAIKODOKUTAA).
