BUMP OF CHICKEN’s Easy-to-Sing Songs [Karaoke Picks] (11–20)

Snow SmileBUMP OF CHICKEN

Among BUMP OF CHICKEN’s songs, Snow Smile is an especially famous and popular ballad.

It portrays the happiness of a couple on a cold, snowy day, along with the bittersweet feeling that such moments have now been lost.

As a ballad, it features a gentle melodic line, without fast-paced lyrics or complex rhythms, making it easy to sing.

Aside from the chorus, most parts sit in the low-to-mid vocal range, so it’s especially recommended for those who are good with lower registers.

Hammer Song and the Tower of PainBUMP OF CHICKEN

“Hammer Song and the Tower of Pain” is a track included on the album “orbital period,” released in 2007.

While it has a somewhat different vibe from other BUMP OF CHICKEN songs, a look at its story-driven lyrics makes it clear that it’s quintessentially their work.

The song also has a relatively narrow and lower vocal range, making it approachable for those who find high notes difficult.

Additionally, its melody is built on a relaxed rhythm, which I think also makes it easier to sing.

ColonyBUMP OF CHICKEN

This stylish ballad featuring piano sounds is “Colony,” which was also used in the film Parasyte: Part 2.

The lyrics focus on life and portray a weakened self.

The song progresses with a calm, gentle melody throughout, spans about an octave and a half, and should be relatively easy to sing.

However, since the beginning and end consist of piano accompaniment only, be mindful of keeping a steady rhythm.

It’s especially recommended for those who struggle with up-tempo songs or tracks with wide, rapid pitch changes.

HAPPYBUMP OF CHICKEN

This song features the phrase “Happy Birthday” in its lyrics, but when you read them closely, you’ll find it’s packed with words that can also be taken as a cheer for life.

It’s the kind of song that gives you the courage to take one more step when you’re troubled and feel like giving up.

Like other songs by BUMP OF CHICKEN, one of the reasons it’s easy to sing is its relatively narrow range—just a little over one octave.

On top of that, the tempo is relaxed and the melody progresses gently, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing will find it easy to try.

When people talk about easy-to-sing songs, they often introduce slower, laid-back tracks.

But for those who find upbeat, light rhythms easier to sing, this song is a great recommendation.

While the melody line conveys a fresh, breezy feel, the lyrics express feelings for a loved one who is no longer by your side, along with the resolve to keep moving forward even without them.

The vocal range is narrow and the key is adjustable, but there are a few interval jumps in the chorus, so keep that in mind as you sing.

R.I.P.BUMP OF CHICKEN

This song explores the poignant theme of not being able to share memories.

Written by Motoo Fujiwara of BUMP OF CHICKEN and inspired by his childhood experiences, it reflects on past memories and the longing for what has been lost.

Released in November 2009 as part of a double A-side single, it also served as a lead single for the album COSMONAUT.

With its driving rock sound and emotionally rich lyrics, it powerfully moves listeners.

It’s especially recommended for those who have experienced the loss of someone important or cherished memories.

The melody is easy to remember and sing, so give it a try.

BUMP OF CHICKEN is a band supported by a wide range of listeners, from people in their 30s down to teens.

You might not associate them with low vocals, but they actually have many low-register phrases, making a lot of their songs easy to sing for men with deeper voices.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “I.” This song has a narrow vocal range, and the A and B sections are mostly in the low to lower-mid range.

The chorus features falsetto; if that part is difficult, try either raising the key to make the falsetto easier, or lowering the key and singing it in mixed voice.
