Little BraverBUMP 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.
ribbonBUMP OF CHICKEN
This song, released in 2017, was featured in a Galaxy S8 commercial, so some of you may have heard it there.
It has a generally calm vibe, with a distinctive, expansive melody that makes it easy to sing while carefully checking each note.
However, there are parts where the ending of a phrase is sustained while the pitch changes, so be careful not to go off-key.
Because the vocal range is wide, it’s recommended for people who are comfortable with range but not so keen on intricate rhythms or fast-paced songs.
RhythmBiSH
Released as a double A-side with “KiND PEOPLE” and featured as the theme song for Kao’s “Flair Fragrance” commercial, the 6th single “Rhythm” has lyrics by Momoko Gumi Company and music by AiNA THE END.
Its grand ensemble, highlighted by piano and strings, draws you into its world.
The tempo is relaxed, making it easy to sing, but be mindful of the sustained high notes and wide interval jumps in the chorus.
If you still find it difficult to sing, try adjusting the key to match your vocal range.
Livin’ on a PrayerBon Jovi
When it comes to Bon Jovi’s signature songs, the first masterpiece that comes to mind is, of course, Livin’ on a Prayer.
It’s a massive hit featuring the characters Tommy and Gina—no introduction needed.
But did you know that this classic has recently been making waves as a bon odori dance song? A tweet about it being used at the 2018 Nakano Station Grand Bon Odori Festival went viral, Bon Jovi’s official account reacted, and it became an even bigger topic, getting featured on TV under the nickname “Bon Jovi” (a pun on bon odori + Bon Jovi).
In 2024, the phenomenon was even “reimported” to the United States at JAPAN FESTIVAL BOSTON in Boston, and it’s possible that Livin’ on a Prayer may become a standard number for bon odori from here on out!
