The song’s progression is excellent too, making it a guitar rock number that builds to an absolutely thrilling peak.

“Karma” by the rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN.
It’s popular for its energetic, powerful sound paired with lyrics that feel warm in their own way.
The song carries a sharp message: “Humans have to take someone else’s place.” However, it doesn’t deny competition itself; rather, it embraces it and encourages moving forward with that reality.
Savor the depth of BUMP OF CHICKEN’s lyrics.

“Bakuchi Dancer” is one of their signature songs, chosen as the theme for the film.
Its cool, funky vocals pair perfectly with the passionate, powerful accompaniment, making it a fan favorite.
Let yourself be carried away by its fiery melody, and your body will start dancing on its own.
PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH
“PERFECT HUMAN,” sung by the comedy duo Oriental Radio, caused a stir with its authentic rap.
If a friend dressed as Ori-Raji performed such a cool rap as entertainment at a wedding, the venue would absolutely erupt with excitement.
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
An insert song from the TV drama “Celestial Observation,” which was inspired by the same track, and the second single by the four-piece rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN.
The intro, said to evoke a shooting star, uses as many as eight guitars, and that effect gives the song a sense of speed and expansiveness, doesn’t it? It builds from a calm first verse into an ever-growing intensity, and the catchy chorus takes the excitement straight to the max.
It’s a number I’d recommend when you’re feeling down or can’t get pumped up.
Good DJKyūso Nekokami
“Good DJ,” a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at live shows by the rock band Kyuso Nekokami.
With a four-on-the-floor dance beat, a fast tempo, and the kind of message that’s so characteristic of them, it’s a uniquely compelling track.
But above all, that DJ-play section might just be the strongest moment of all.
