A collection of BUMP OF CHICKEN’s popular and classic songs (21–30) that are literary, everyday, and resonate with the heart.
Only Lonely GloryBUMP OF CHICKEN
It seems that the eighth single, later included on the album “Yggdrasil,” differs in whether the chorus appears in the introduction.
Set to a driving, fast-paced melody, it’s a song in which they sing in their own words about fearlessly moving forward.
FighterBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is an unusual collaboration song released as a special edition included with volume 10 of the manga March Comes in Like a Lion.
Since it’s a collaboration with a manga whose protagonist is a shogi player, one might imagine that the “fighter” refers to a shogi professional.
But whether that’s truly the case is something left up to each listener to decide.

planetariumBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is a song that Fujiwara created based on his own experience making a planetarium.
The lyric sheet for this single includes instructions on how to build a planetarium, so it could be fun to actually try making one.
Also, be sure to check out how the synthesizer sounds are incorporated into the band’s sound.
A Person Waiting for a RainbowBUMP OF CHICKEN
In 2013, we shot a promotional video at an event collaborating with teamLab.
The clear, distinctive sound pairs perfectly with teamLab’s light production.
The lyrics, with their beautiful worldview, match the song’s mystic quality.
The added sense of stability makes it something you can listen to endlessly.
The song’s image, fitting for the title “Rainbow,” captures the listener’s heart and won’t let go.
It’s like a movie crafted by BUMP.
IBUMP OF CHICKEN
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.
Stage of the groundBUMP OF CHICKEN
It’s a track included on the album “Jupiter.” Although the intro is quite long, it feels like that length gradually builds the mood toward the start of the song.
The sense of speed and power makes it an incredibly exhilarating track.
AnswerBUMP OF CHICKEN
With a classic rock sound, it’s an easy listen.
The kind of groove that makes your body move on its own sets your heart dancing.
The lyrics not only make you appreciate the wonder of being alive, but also convey the importance of keeping your heart burning with passion.
It’s a quintessential BUMP track that energizes your life.
Highly recommended for those new to BUMP as well.
It was released in December 2016.
