Harujion BUMP OF CHICKEN LIVE

“Harujion,” sung by BUMP OF CHICKEN, is themed around the white flower harujion that you start seeing by the roadside around April.

It’s something easy to overlook in everyday life, but the song overlays the straight-growing harujion with the personal convictions tucked away in one’s heart.

April marks the start of a new chapter, and it’s a time when anxiety can swallow us up and make us forget what’s important.

This piece carries the message: believe in yourself and keep moving forward, no matter how many times it takes.

Take your time to savor the meaning of the lyrics as you listen!

A Letter to an AstronautBUMP OF CHICKEN46rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN “A Letter to an Astronaut”

Songs that use letters as a motif are popular these days.

In BUMP OF CHICKEN’s track, a unique premise—a letter to an astronaut—conveys childhood memories, the passage of time, and the fragility of human relationships.

Set to a pop sound grounded in a four-on-the-floor beat, it showcases Motoo Fujiwara’s distinctive lyrical world.

Released as a single in October 2010, it topped the Oricon weekly chart and is also included on the album COSMONAUT.

Praised by astronaut Soichi Noguchi, this song is recommended when you want to convey your feelings to someone important or reflect on the past.

Dandelion

This is a song whose narrative-rich melody resonates deeply.

It’s included on the album “jupiter,” released in February 2002, and it fully showcases BUMP OF CHICKEN’s distinctive worldview.

Through the story of a lonely lion and a dandelion that shines like the sun, the lyrics strikingly portray friendship and hope.

It’s especially recommended for the season when you can feel spring approaching.

In times of new encounters and farewells, you may find courage in the story this song tells.

Hammer Song and the Tower of PainBUMP OF CHICKEN48rank/position

Hammer Song To Itami No Tou

“Hammer Song and the Tower of Pain” is a track included on the album “orbital period,” released in 2007.

While it has a somewhat different vibe from other BUMP OF CHICKEN songs, a look at its story-driven lyrics makes it clear that it’s quintessentially their work.

The song also has a relatively narrow and lower vocal range, making it approachable for those who find high notes difficult.

Additionally, its melody is built on a relaxed rhythm, which I think also makes it easier to sing.
