BUMP OF CHICKEN

Pop Rock

・Overview & Author’s personal opinion

I don’t know how to describe it, but he has a wonderful voice.

The lyrics are also full of unique expressions, and I think it is rare for someone to be able to see the world from such a point of view. At the same time, I feel a strong sensitivity that ordinary people seem unable to endure.

I think that is why BUMP OF CHICKEN’s music is so wonderful.

I think BUMP OF CHICKEN may be the first time I have experienced salvation through listening to their songs.

BUMP OF CHICKEN『カルマ』
BUMP OF CHICKEN「カルマ」MORE INFORMATION:
カルマ / karma

One glass bead was dropped

One more dropped in pursuit

One ball left in the sun for one

When the heartbeat starts, even if you don't like it, people take up space

I've been guarding it so it won't be taken away from me

Even the hands I've kept clean look dirty.

Before you can doubt your memory, your memory doubts you.

I'm sure we'll meet

with the same heartbeat as the one we share

I'm here.

I'll always be calling

When we're swayed by a series of tired reasons, we'll know the meaning of our birth

as long as we exist, we take up space because we have no choice

two can't fit in one sunlit room

A glass bead was dropped

When it fell, something popped out

I bathe in the light where you took it from me

I realize that the footprints I've counted are just numbers.

What I need to know is that it's somewhere between 1 and 0

for the first time we'll meet

with the same screaming banner as ours.

And don't you ever forget

I'll always be calling

When we fill in the layers of reasons together, a promise is made

We are mirrors to reflect each other's karma

We touch each other with our dirty hands, and we know what shape we're in

I'm here.

We'll touch for sure

We're here in the sunshine for one.

Don't ever forget

We'll always be calling

From inside the same glass ball

Yes, we'll always meet

When we build a cross on the sunken cause, the promise will be fulfilled

We will be one
天体観測 (TENTAIKANSOKU) / astronomical observation

I carried my telescope to the railroad crossing at 2:00 a.m.

The radio strapped to my belt said it wasn't going to rain.

Two minutes later, you arrived.

You're carrying an oversized pack

Let's get started with some stargazing

I'm looking for a broom star

it was all I could do not to be swallowed by the deep darkness

I tried to hold your trembling hand that day

I looked through the telescope, trying to see what I couldn't see

Many voices were born, cutting through the silence

Tomorrow called to us, but we didn't even reply

You and I were chasing the broom star that is "this moment".

Oh yeah ah

I find myself always searching for something

The definition of happiness or the place to put sorrow

I've been searching for something since I was born until I die

Let's start with astronomical observation

Looking for a broom star

I remember everything I've ever found

The pain of not being able to hold your trembling hand

I looked through the telescope trying to know what I didn't know

I searched for the faint light that would illuminate the darkness

I still remember the pain of knowing

 I'm still chasing the broom star that is "this moment" alone

Oh yeah ah

As I grew taller, the things I wanted to say increased

I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine

I'm fine, I don't have much to worry about, just one thing I still remember

I remember the day when I couldn't hold your trembling hand as you were about to cry because of the rain that had not been predicted.

I missed what I could see, and I carried the telescope again, and I ran through the silence and the darkness on my way home.

The pain I knew in that way still sustains me.

I'm still chasing the broom star of "this moment" alone

I carry the telescope again, hoping to see you again

I'll run to the same 2 a.m. crossing as before

I'll start my stargazing, even if you don't show up in two minutes

I'm chasing a broom star called "this moment" with you

Oh yeah ah ah ah ah ah yeah yeah
オンリー ロンリー グローリー / Only Lonely Glory

Only Lonely Glory

And what are you going to do with yourself? You've realized how lonely you really are, haven't you?

The words you asked yourself in the vortex of people overflowing

Footprints radiating out

Only you can't walk away

What do you do with a dead heart? You remember it even though you pretend to have forgotten it, don't you?

That no matter how far you push it away or try to throw it away, it will follow you everywhere

morning approaches my shivering body protected by the darkness

Lost child left behind

A beginning that's too late

now what do I hate?

I blindfolded you, I covered your ears, all with my own two hands

Lonely glory 

There's a voice from the furthest reaches of the earth

There's a light that keeps calling the name that was never chosen

Only Glory

Only you get the trophy 

Not so special, the light that your hands are allowed to touch 

(Only Lonely Glory)

And we were ready

We realized our true fears

That no matter how hard we try to hide, no matter how hard we try to run, one day we'll be illuminated.

We took our positions, inhaled and exhaled, waited for the signal

No life shines brightly without being laughed at or resented

The first time it's bright, take off the blindfold.

Lonely Glory.

It's okay, I can walk, apparently.

on a path wide enough for one, the tears in my eyes are the signal that I've caught you.

Only Glory 

Only I get a trophy

This hand that freezes alone is the light to meet warmth 

(Only Lonely Glory)

I stroked the heart that had ceased to breathe

I'm the one who killed him

A drop fell on the scar

It moved.

A little, but surely

It was still alive, alone inside me.

It began to breathe. Alone with me.

I could see it because it was me.

"Good morning, I'm sorry, do you remember?"

I've found solitude and I've found you again.

I'm not alone.

I'm a lost child who's just starting out.

The beginning of a footprint 

There is life here

If you weren't chosen, go choose

Only one glory

Lonely Glory

Know that there is no end

Faster than these steps, if it's the light that keeps on flying


Only Glory

That's the trophy I'm after

The light to name this not-so-special hand as special

(Only Lonely Glory)
