New WorldBUMP OF CHICKEN

This is a song written specifically for an animation created to commemorate Lotte’s 70th anniversary.

As you’d expect from a collaboration with a confectionery company, it’s one of the poppiest, brightest, and most fun tracks in BUMP OF CHICKEN’s catalog.

Many listeners were likely shocked by the repeated use of direct expressions of love, which hadn’t been used before.

As your body can’t help but move to this tune, be sure to watch the animation and feel for yourself why the song is titled “New World.”

In our everyday lives, we don’t often stop to think about “life” itself, do we? In “fire sign,” they sing as if it were a miracle that people go on living without thinking about it day to day.

The lyrics that make you go, “What a poet,” together with the gentle rock sound, will warm your heart.

The warmth of BUMP OF CHICKEN is so comforting, isn’t it?

Their 21st single, it serves as the theme song for the game Final Fantasy Type-0.

There’s even a story that the scene in which the song is inserted in the game was remade because the track turned out so well.

It’s a piece with a quiet, somewhat otherworldly melody that also conveys a sense of resolve.

Hello,world!BUMP OF CHICKEN

This was their 24th single and also the opening theme for the anime Blood Blockade Battlefront.

It’s an exhilarating track whose signature melody expands from restrained beginnings into a grand, sweeping atmosphere.

The song has a brisk pace and a very refreshing feel.

torchBUMP OF CHICKEN

“Torch” refers to a flaming torch—by extension, a guiding light.

As its title suggests, this song gently illuminates our hearts and gives us courage.

The lyrics are rich in metaphor and may seem hard to grasp at first glance.

Even so, there is a message that comes through the moment you listen.

It’s a song I especially want people to hear when they’re worn down by an unchangeable everyday life.
