Bakufu Slump: Impossible!

Bakufu Slump was formed when two bands, Super Slump and Bakufu-gun, became one.

They have an image of being able to handle anything, from ballads like “Under the Big Onion” to rock songs like “I Want to Be the Talk of the Town.” The song “Tabibito yo ~The Longest Journey~,” which came from a TV show, is a classic you still hear often today.

“Muri da!”—which fully showcases Bakufu Slump’s playful side—is one of their early signature tracks! Its lyrics list one impossible demand after another, and every part is sure to make you crack a smile.

It’s a nostalgic tune that perfectly suits Sunplaza Nakano’s rugged, powerful voice.

Taiyaki Yaita by Bakufu Slump

Formed in 1981 and debuting in 1984, Bakufu Slump is famous for moving songs like “Runner” and “Under the Big Onion,” but did you know they also have a heavy metal–style track? Released in 1984, “Taiyaki Yaita” is a surreal piece in which vocalist Sunplaza Nakano dons a long-haired wig and relentlessly screams, “Taiyaki yaita!” The lyrics are inspired by “Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun.” This song was included as the B-side to their debut single “Shūkan Tokyo ‘Shōjo A’,” which was released from the album “Yoi.”

“Runner” is a famous song by the rock band Bakufu Slump, who debuted in 1984.

Full Moon Train Bakufu Slump

Bakufu Slump is a rock band fronted by vocalist Sunplaza Nakano-kun.

Their album I.B.W.

– IT’S A BEAUTIFUL WORLD – includes the track Full Moon Train, which, as the title suggests, depicts a train running on the night of a full moon.

The song’s protagonist appears to be an office worker on the way home, gazing at the full moon while thinking of the family waiting for his return.

Perhaps it’s this portrayal of a uniquely modern yet beautiful scene that has earned the song so much affection.

Bakufu Slump Rizo-Lover Resort Lovers

Starting right from the chorus with “It’s all a lie~,” Rizo-Lover (short for Resort Lovers) captures a fleeting summer romance at a resort set to a poppy, summery sound, then portrays the heartbreak of returning to reality with striking realism.

Though they might be mistaken for a comic band, they’re actually a group with very high musicality.

Rizo Raba — Resort Lovers —

It may have a strong summery image, but in fact it’s a unique song that vividly portrays scenes at a winter ski resort as well.

Sung by Bakufu Slump, the piece uses biting irony to express the thrill of resort romance and the emptiness behind it.

Released as a single in July 1989, it was also included on the album “I.B.W.” It became widely known as a Cosmo Oil commercial song, and it’s also remembered for ranking third on the final episode of the music show “The Best Ten” that same year.

Set to a catchy melody, the lyrics depict the push-and-pull of love that repeats even as the seasons change.

If you want to recall the glamorous atmosphere of the bubble era, or if you listen to it in the car on your way to the slopes, the heat of those days is sure to come rushing back.
