BUMP OF CHICKEN “Stargazing”

BUMP OF CHICKEN has many fans not only among men but also among women.

“Tentai Kansoku” is one of their signature songs, and since many people who are currently in their 30s to 40s listened to it in real time, it might be a can’t-miss choice if you’re going to karaoke with people from that generation.

Also, contrary to the recent trend of rock tunes having higher keys, this song isn’t that high, so even those who aren’t very confident in their singing can perform it comfortably—another strong recommendation point!
