I think most Japanese high school students and other young people are into idols, and a portion of the rest listen to rock bands like EXILE or this band.

Therefore, I believe they’re a niche minority, but even so, selling around 200,000 copies in an era when singles don’t sell much is impressive.

St. Elmo’s fireBUMP OF CHICKEN

A four-piece rock band, BUMP OF CHICKEN, whose songs continue to influence countless bands and maintain a commanding presence in the J-POP rock scene.

This track is included on their major 4th album, COSMONAUT, and did you know that the title St.

Elmo’s Fire refers to the phenomenon in which the tips of a ship’s masts glow during bad weather at sea? The rapidly unfolding guitar phrases—high-speed arpeggios, delicate cutting, and fast-paced riffs—are undeniably cool.

It’s a number packed with the allure of rock guitar, letting you enjoy a variety of sounds and approaches within a single song.

SOUVENIRBUMP OF CHICKEN

A song that stays close to the listener’s heart and evokes deep emotions.

It delicately portrays farewells and reunions we encounter in everyday life, along with the feelings woven into them.

Encouraging us to look back on the paths of our lives and cherish precious memories as “souvenirs” in our hearts, this work was released as a single in April 2023 and was also used as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV Tokyo anime SPY×FAMILY.

It’s said the song was born through facing fans at live shows, and as you listen, you can feel the members’ warmth.
