There are many events in July, and Tanabata on July 7 is one of the biggest.
The legend of Orihime and Hikoboshi is widely known, and Orihime’s Vega and Hikoboshi’s Altair are both part of the Summer Triangle.
Thinking about that makes you want to look up at the night sky, and when you do, let’s sing BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Tentai Kansoku” (Stargazing).

Tatsuya Kitani released it in July 2023.
It was chosen as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen and received a Special Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards.
The cool, refreshing melody and lyrics that weave together the pure relationships unique to adolescence, along with regret and a sense of loss, vividly awaken memories everyone has experienced.
It’s a perfect song to sing in an air-conditioned karaoke room on a hot summer day while reminiscing about the past.

As their seventh single, the track has become one of their signature songs, surpassing 60 million views on YouTube and over 100 million streams in total.
It’s a youthful anthem that blends a sense of speed and liberation, perfectly matching the film’s story about a high school couple’s summer.
