BUMP OF CHICKEN『HAPPY』

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.

BUMP OF CHICKEN「Stage of the ground」

The lyrics, which sing of the dignity of pressing forward with your feet firmly on the ground, together with the band’s exhilarating intro, seize listeners’ hearts and never let go.

This song by BUMP OF CHICKEN—an iconic rock band beloved by a wide range of generations for their many masterpieces—appears as the first track on their album “jupiter,” released in February 2002.

It is also known for being featured as the Sapporo Beer commercial song centered around the 98th Hakone Ekiden in January 2022.

Gently supporting those who strive to move forward despite doubt and fear, this work gives courage.

It’s a classic that we hope every athlete fighting on their own stage, as well as anyone wishing to take a new step, will listen to.

Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN29rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Friend’s Song”

“Tomodachi no Uta” is a moving ballad with a pleasant melody and touching lyrics.

The words, which express feelings for a friend living far away, are quite moving and likely resonate with many listeners.

The song’s vocal range is just over one octave—fairly narrow—and the pitches sit comfortably within a range that most men can sing.

Combined with its relaxed tempo and simple melody, it should be easy to sing.

Because the range is narrow, if high notes are difficult, you can lower the key.

It’s a recommended track for those who have experienced parting from someone dear, or for anyone who wants to trust someone deeply.

Its heartfelt lyrics and beautiful melody will gently embrace the listener’s heart.
