Suiminjikan

Here’s a song I recommend for sleepless nights or when anxiety creeps in: “Suimin Jikan” (“Sleep Time”).

It’s a track included as the B-side to BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 2004 single “Only Lonely Glory.” The gentle sound of the acoustic guitar and the simplicity of Fujiwara’s vocals slip right into your ears.

In fact, the song was reportedly written for Fujiwara’s grandfather, who said he didn’t understand the band’s music, born from the desire to “deliver something easy to understand.” Much of BUMP’s music stays close to the heart, and its kindness really sinks in.

When you want to clear your head and not overthink before bed, this song is a perfect fit.

I Want to Talk (BUMP OF CHICKEN)

It’s a quintessential BUMP song that makes you feel out of the ordinary.

In a world where only the gum spreads, you can sense the high caliber of the lyrics.

At a lone bus stop, thinking of someone who used to be precious.

Someone who’s no longer here.

Yet there’s still so much to say.

It conveys that kind of bittersweetness in a straightforward way.

The song was released in October 2018.

It’s perfect for listening to on a long autumn night.

Tried playing guitar: Route 66/BUMP OF CHICKEN

I think this song is a rare love song among BUMP OF CHICKEN’s tracks.

With Fujiwara’s sweet vocals asking, “Would you still love me even if I lost my voice?”, it makes my heart ache.

The lyrics, so characteristic of BUMP, are also a highlight.

BUMP OF CHICKEN「You were here」

Speaking of BUMP OF CHICKEN, they’re a Japanese rock band that’s hugely popular with both men and women.

Recently, they made headlines for appearing on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen for the first time in their long history.

It’s a song that fits any situation—like when you’ve had your heart broken or when you’ve been separated from a close friend.

BUMP OF CHICKEN "Fighter"

This is an unusual collaboration song released as a special edition included with volume 10 of the manga March Comes in Like a Lion.

Since it’s a collaboration with a manga whose protagonist is a shogi player, one might imagine that the “fighter” refers to a shogi professional.

But whether that’s truly the case is something left up to each listener to decide.

SmileBUMP OF CHICKEN83rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN「Smile」

It’s a song released two months after the Great East Japan Earthquake, with all sales proceeds donated to disaster relief.

Despite running over eight minutes, it never becomes dull and draws you in completely.

BUMP OF CHICKEN is known for their choruses, and in this track that part is exceptionally powerful and firmly woven into the lyrics.

With lyrics that are simple in contrast to the long duration yet hammered home with overwhelming force, this is unmistakably a masterpiece.

[Guitar] Little Braver BUMP OF CHICKEN

“Little Braver,” included on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s first album, FLAME VEIN.

It’s a fan favorite that has been performed live since the early days.

“Braver” means “hero.” It’s a quintessential BUMP masterpiece that blends gentleness with strength.
