BUMP OF CHICKEN「sailing day」

In fact, BUMP OF CHICKEN’s very first anime tie-in song was “sailing day.” Released in 2003 as a double A-side single together with “Lost Man,” it’s a classic noted for its guitar sound and melodies that deliver that distinctly BUMP-like, heart-searing sense of wistful speed.

Many people now in their 30s probably fire up this song at karaoke with friends of the same generation when it’s time to get the party going.

Looking at the melody, the overall range is relatively wide: in true Fujiwara style, it showcases calm low tones in the first half and then opens up into soaring highs in the chorus.

Those who are used to singing should handle it without trouble.

If your voice is on the lower side, adjusting the key will make it perfectly manageable.

BUMP OF CHICKEN『HAPPY』

This song features the phrase “Happy Birthday” in its lyrics, but when you read them closely, you’ll find it’s packed with words that can also be taken as a cheer for life.

It’s the kind of song that gives you the courage to take one more step when you’re troubled and feel like giving up.

Like other songs by BUMP OF CHICKEN, one of the reasons it’s easy to sing is its relatively narrow range—just a little over one octave.

On top of that, the tempo is relaxed and the melody progresses gently, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing will find it easy to try.

A heartwarming tale of friendship woven into a gentle ballad by BUMP OF CHICKEN.

It’s a bittersweet yet warm love song that uses the winter chill as an excuse to bring two people closer together.

Many listeners have resonated with the protagonist, who continues walking while holding memories of someone precious close to their heart.

Its relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing, too!

BUMP OF CHICKEN "Planetarium"

This is the 10th single by the Japanese rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN, released in July 2005.

With its relaxed tempo and gentle melody, the song is crafted in a way that simply listening to it brings to mind a clear, beautiful sky projected in a planetarium.

Reflecting that atmosphere, the vocal melody doesn’t use a particularly wide range, making it a song that anyone can casually hum along to and enjoy singing.

Picture the starry sky of a planetarium and immerse yourself fully in the song’s world as you sing.

Just by doing that, I’m sure what your performance conveys to listeners will grow many times over, transforming it from “your song” into something that truly reaches them!
