[Great Lyrics] BUMP OF CHICKEN’s Masterpieces That Comfort the Heart (21–30)
Have you seen the crimson-red sky?BUMP OF CHICKEN
It’s a hidden masterpiece by BUMP that sings about the relationship between oneself and others—those who are precious to us.
If we were one with someone important, no hardships would arise; yet there are also miracles that happened precisely because we are two.
The lyrics, which plainly convey such a philosophical message, pierce deeply into the heart.
It’s a song that lets you directly feel the pure emotion of “just one smile from someone important is enough to make me happy.”
HAPPYBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is a song filled with deep affection that, behind the word “happiness,” strives to celebrate someone’s life itself, even while carrying sadness and loss.
Released as a single by BUMP OF CHICKEN in 2010, it reached No.
1 on both the Oricon weekly and monthly charts.
Beyond the brightness suggested by its title, it resonates with many as an anthem for life—wishing good health for someone dear and saying “congratulations” to every moment they’ve lived.
The dry-textured guitar sound and Motoo Fujiwara’s gentle vocals blend exquisitely, and despite its medium tempo, the buoyant melody is captivating.
It’s a song you’ll want to give to someone special on a birthday or anniversary, to celebrate every step of the journey they’ve taken so far.
Name of the FlowerBUMP OF CHICKEN
The deeply moving ballad “Hana no Na” was released in 2007 as BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 12th single.
It’s also well known as the theme song for the film Always: Sunset on Third Street 2.
It’s a touching song that, when you listen to it, brings to mind someone precious to you—an irreplaceable presence.
Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN
A classic by BUMP OF CHICKEN known for its warm yet heartrending melody.
The lyrics, which speak to a friend who’s growing distant, saying that the bond of the heart won’t fade even with physical distance, are sure to bring tears.
It’s also well known that Motoo Fujiwara created it with “Nobita” in mind.
Released as a single in February 2011, the song became beloved as the theme for the film Doraemon: Nobita and the Steel Troops: The New Age.
Its sweeping strings and horns seem to gently envelop the sadness of parting.
It’s a song you’ll want to give to friends you’ll be separated from at graduation, along with your gratitude.
It would also be lovely to play at a reunion where you’ve promised to meet again.
Hello,world!BUMP OF CHICKEN
A song used as the opening theme for the TV anime Blood Blockade Battlefront.
For many people, it probably evokes a strong impression of the anime.
While brilliantly recreating the story’s worldview, it’s a very BUMP-like track that opens up brightly toward the chorus.
It’s also recommended for those who want to boost their mood when they’re feeling stuck.
Lost ManBUMP OF CHICKEN
One of BUMP’s hallmarks is a sound and lyrics that slip straight into your heart, making listeners think, “Is this about me?” Lost Man also has that quality, capturing the hearts of people in all kinds of situations—those tired of everyday life, those troubled by love, and more.
It’s a song I’d recommend to anyone who doesn’t know which way to go and is searching for something to hold on to.
Little BraverBUMP OF CHICKEN
“Little Braver,” included on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s first album, FLAME VEIN.
It’s a fan favorite that has been performed live since the early days.
“Braver” means “hero.” It’s a quintessential BUMP masterpiece that blends gentleness with strength.
