You might think there are many musicians that can scoop up these delicate things of teens’ hearts perfectly and I think, not all but mostly, that kind of musics are something related to love. Like you used to be, hearts of teens are really sensitive, fragile and Bump of Chicken scooped them up and delivered them in the rhythm of the music perfectly. He was like representative of soul and encouraged us, not giving up. Still I really came to like their music at the time because of unique voice of Motoo Fujiwara and deep lyrics he makes.Īctually some lyrics might have been like cheesy if you say it to someone face to face but he sings a song with all his heart without care and from the song we could feel his strong will of not giving in to anything.Īnd the lyrics stroke a chord within us, especially young people including I in those days.

Why Bump of Chicken got so popularĪctually the music itself might not have been that high quality or modern rock in those days rather it sounded like simple but like old days rock to me. This band was the first band which I went see the real live in my life. They were super famous in overseas but not famous in Japan in those days.Īnd this Bump of Chicken was also recommendation from him and it became super popular band in a couple of years after he told me. He told me Radiohead, Oasis, Kula Shaker, etc. I have great friend who always think ahead of time before it becomes boom. He also mentions that he has good eyesight, cannot write kanji well, likes to go outdoors, and often gets headaches.I think Bump of Chicken is not famous in overseas that I picked up in my blog.Īnyway I think most of us have some kind of songs that remind us good old days when you listened to certain music. Hideo Masu is the drummer and the creator of the band. He jokes that he "falls ill exactly four times a year." He also calls himself an anime and game otaku, and a "rare genius."
