ChronostasisBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Chronostasis”

A song woven with memories of someone lost, a sense of bereavement, and the resolve to look forward.

Released in April 2022 as a digital-only single, it was chosen as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween.

Its portrayal of seeking hope for the future while carrying the pain of the past is striking.

The track captured many hearts, debuting at No.

1 on the Billboard Japan Download Songs chart.

It’s a perfect song for those who have lost someone dear or who stand at a crossroads in life.

RemBUMP OF CHICKEN

REM / BUMP OF CHICKEN (cover)

Rem,” included on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s fourth album Yggdrasil released in 2004, is a song performed solo by vocalist Motoo Fujiwara.

The melody is very gentle and laid-back, but the lyrics pierce the heart, and the contrast between the two is striking.

The more you listen, the more it subtly grows on you.

A Chronicle of Struggles with SortingBUMP OF CHICKEN

Bunbetsufuntouki

With a title and lyrics that plainly sing about sorting and throwing away trash, “The Sorting Struggles.” But of course, it’s not just about garbage—it’s a story about “dreams we gave up.” Many of us may think we’ve given up on a dream, only to find it still lingering in our hearts.

This song may make you realize your true feelings—and move you to tears before you know it.

BUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN「I」

BUMP OF CHICKEN has become one of Japan’s leading rock bands.

Couldn’t they be one of the candidates to sing the theme song for the Tokyo Olympics? One of their strengths is their ability to create a wide range of music, from powerful, encouraging songs to up-tempo tracks.

If they were chosen, they’d surely deliver a song perfectly suited to the Olympics!

Lamp – BUMP OF CHICKEN

This song was released as BUMP OF CHICKEN’s first indie single.

They’re still producing numerous hit songs today, but it all began with this track.

I remember it being a hot topic on FM radio at the time.

Of course, it’s also a song that gets a lot of play at Christmas.

BUMP OF CHICKEN is the perfect rock band for refreshing a mind tired from studying.

I feel like rock has the power to clear away stagnation all at once.

This song, “Tomodachi no Uta” (A Friend’s Song), is a track packed with their appeal and the power of rock.

BUMP OF CHICKEN - Song to Cheer On a Talented, Troubled Person

This is a song that many people probably got hooked on during their middle and high school years.

Of course, I can confidently recommend it to today’s middle schoolers as well.

Perhaps it won’t be long before the band that started with this song begins to make waves.
