The four-piece rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN shot to fame with 2001’s “Tentai Kansoku” and has since produced numerous classics.

This track, included on their July 2019 album aurora arc, took the unusual path of being used first as the opening theme for the anime Karakuri Circus and later as its ending theme as well.

It features a distinctive, dreamlike sound woven by acoustic guitar and accordion.

With lyrics portraying a protagonist who presses forward with resolve, this grand rock tune gives a boost to anyone striving toward their dreams.

This is a song that sings about the importance of “friendship,” used as the theme song for the movie Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops—Angel Wings.

With its gentle feel and warm lyrics, I imagine many people are moved to tears when it starts playing during Doraemon’s ending.
