Under the big onionbakufū suranpu

A signature song by Bakufu Slump, chosen as the theme for the film “Battle Heater.” The title is striking, but the “big onion” doesn’t refer to a vegetable; it’s said to represent the giboshi finial on the roof of the Nippon Budokan.

Words that feel dated, like “pen friend,” may evoke nostalgia for many.

A pen friend is a pen pal, someone you exchange letters with.

This is a simple love song about a bittersweet romance with a girl connected through correspondence.
