A collection of popular and iconic BUMP OF CHICKEN songs that resonate with the heart—both poetic and down-to-earth

SpicaBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN "Spica" Lyric Video

It’s a quintessentially BUMP track that layers their distinctive worldview onto a poppy melody.

It evokes a mix of exhilaration and tension, like right before a boss battle in a game.

The picture book–like storytelling is alive and well, drawing you into the song’s narrative.

It also carries a message about treasuring the world we live in now.

This is the theme song for Treasure God Machine Pandora, released in November 2018.

no-hitterBUMP OF CHICKEN

I combined a high school baseball image with BUMP’s no-hitter.

It’s a baseball-themed track included on the 1st album, “FLAME VEIN.” The song’s protagonist is a slugger (batter), so the title is actually not particularly related to the content—a rather curious piece.

It features easy-to-follow, story-like lyrics and a calm, composed tone.

Hammer Song and the Tower of PainBUMP OF CHICKEN

Bump of Chicken Hammer Song and the Tower of Pain

Hammer Song is where you can feel BUMP’s uniquely phrased lyrical world.

Though it’s one of their older tracks, it remains very popular, and among longtime fans there are surely those who call it their favorite.

You can tell the tone is a bit different from their current style.

The nuanced use of polite language is exquisite, pulling you straight into the lyrics.

It’s truly a masterpiece that encapsulates the brilliance of BUMP’s songwriting.

Song of CandyBUMP OF CHICKEN

[Ryo Chikaishi] Candy Ball Song / BUMP OF CHICKEN Acoustic Cover

A ballad that makes lavish use of falsetto, showcasing the vocalist’s prowess.

The song moves forward with key changes, and despite the band’s technicality, the seamless melodicism that never calls attention to it exudes the stature of true heavyweights.

DiamondBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Diamond”

Although it’s considered one of the less commercially successful songs released after their major-label debut, it has garnered steadfast support for its powerful message.

For those who are doing their best but not seeing results, I’d love for you to listen and reignite your inner strength.

The lyrics are excellent as well, likening one’s irreplaceable existence to a precious diamond.

If you struggle with self-affirmation and catch yourself thinking, “It doesn’t matter whether I’m here or not,” this is a must-listen!

Bench and CoffeeBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN - Bench and Coffee [Acoustic cover]

It’s one of BUMP OF CHICKEN’s early masterpiece songs.

The lyrics, written in polite desu/masu style, are very moving.

It’s said to be a straightforward piece that turns what vocalist Mr.

Fujiwara actually did on his day off directly into a song.

Perhaps that’s exactly why it resonates so deeply.

This is a cover of a song by the pillows, included on the tribute album SYNCHRONIZED ROCKERS.

While the original had a very full-throttle feel, this version is arranged into a calm and refreshing track that has the atmosphere of a BUMP OF CHICKEN song.
