When the winter cold deepens, there’s that aching ballad you just can’t help but want to hear.
At first it seems to paint a scene of a happy couple, only to make you realize that “you” are no longer by their side—the tear-jerking structure is simply brilliant.
Many listeners will likely overlay that image of warming hands together in a pocket with their own faint memories.
It’s a song by BUMP OF CHICKEN, a band of childhood friends from Chiba Prefecture, released in December 2002 as their fifth single.
Although it didn’t have a specific tie-in, its universal lyrical worldview earned it widespread support.
It’s a masterpiece perfect for a night when you want to quietly look back on a past love, drinking alone and letting yourself sink into the mood.

Farewells are sad, but no matter how painful a parting may be, at some point we have to see it in a positive light—that’s the feeling I think this song captures very well.
Just like its title, “Song of the Wheels,” the forward-rolling tempo vividly conveys the sense that life moves on in any circumstance.
It’s a song I recommend to anyone who wants to take a step forward.

It’s a forward-looking breakup song that can make you laugh and cry at the same time.
Created by the popular rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN, known for many classics like “Tentai Kansoku,” it was released digitally in 2014.
The heavily digital-tinged sound arrangement was unusual for BUMP OF CHICKEN at the time and became a big talking point.
Despite its refreshing tone, the lyrics overflow with feelings for the “you” they parted ways with.
Still, as I mentioned earlier, it’s a wonderful song that leaves you feeling positive once you’ve finished listening.

It’s a bittersweet breakup song that echoes through a city at Christmastime.
Released by BUMP OF CHICKEN in November 2009, this track gently wraps around the loneliness of spending Christmas alone.
As the city grows more dazzling, the protagonist’s heightened sense of isolation is portrayed with delicate nuance, resonating with many listeners.
It’s sometimes performed as an encore during Christmas-season concerts.
If you couldn’t spend Christmas with the one you love, this heartwarming song will be by your side—give it a listen.

BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Hana no Na” begins with the bittersweet sound of an acoustic guitar.
With a relaxed tempo, Motoo Fujiwara’s gentle vocals sing tenderly about two people meeting, as if they could softly heal the wounds of heartbreak.
The lyrics are truly wonderful, so be sure to look at the lyric sheet and listen closely to each and every word.
Rather than for when you want to dwell in the pain of a breakup, give it a listen when you’re ready to bounce back and move forward.
Lost ManBUMP OF CHICKEN6rank/position
BUMP OF CHICKEN is a rock band that delivers songs that stay close to people’s hearts.
Among their tracks, Lost Man, released in 2003, is a song that gently embraces the loneliness and sadness of parting.
It portrays the struggle to face the painful reality of someone you love, someone precious, disappearing from right in front of you.
Carried by a band sound built from a limited number of notes, Motoo Fujiwara’s gentle vocals also leave a strong impression.
By confronting the part of yourself that can’t quite let go, this song gives you a push to move forward.
Why not lend an ear to its slowly healing melodies and lyrics?
