Welcome!

Here are my translations of the songs by the band BUMP OF CHICKEN, from Japanese to English. I hope this lets more people appreciate the beautiful lyrics of BUMP!

Links to each song can be found in "Albums" and "Singles."

BUMP's official website is http://www.bumpofchicken.com/!

Feel free to contact me at lebarrow@earthlink.net!

Extra Tracks

Hey! So here you can find the all the hidden tracks, covers, radio songs and other miscellaneous songs not officially listed in BUMP's major albums and singles that I could find. I have put a lot of work into finding these, as well as translating them,  but there are still a lot of things I don't know. A lot of my information on these is patchy. I've had a ton of help from people who contacted me through this site. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the hidden track information! If you know about any other tracks by BUMP that I have missed here or that I have little information on, or if you see a mistake, please let me know by emailing me at lebarrow@earthlink.net.

I really really love BUMP OF CHICKEN's hidden tracks, they're so fun and creative! Personally, if BUMP released albums full of these, I would totally buy them as quickly as I would one of their main albums. Enjoy!! :D

Also, the songs are in no particular order.

JUST AUDIO FROM DATENSHI KURIKO


A huge thank you to Datenshi Kuriko for these audio files!! You can listen to them at the links below!

Unfortunately I don't have lyrics or translations for these songs. I can try to transcribe them myself if anyone is interested! Or if anyone has a copy of the Japanese lyrics or wants to transcribe them, please contact me. ^_^



Hidden track from Snow Smile:

グロリアス (Glorious) ---------- This song is all in English and is the precursor to Glorious Revolution. Thanks to Datenshi Kuriko, we have a link to the audio (where it's not called Glorious, but Glorious Revolution English version.) Thanks!! A comment on the video says this recording is from Chiba LIVE in 1998. Here's the audio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z6_ufR_6ng.

JUST AUDIO FOR SONGS I FOUND ONLINE


18 Years Story  ------------ All I can find about this song is the audio, but I can't make out the lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubbq4jjcbzA

デザートカントリー  (Desert Country) ----------- This song is entirely in English and is possibly a cover. I can't find the lyrics but you can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZCTdBwSuOg

Cosmos  -----------  BUMP covered this song, by the Japanese indie band Spypas (スパイパス) in return for Spypas covering BUMP's song R.A. (アルエ.) You can listen to the audio here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WqbVgbwZbA

Twist and Shout  ---------- This song has been covered by many artists, including The Beatles, and now BUMP OF CHICKEN as well. You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6Lz7qq0TI8

MYSTERY SONGS


Moon ---------- no information

グリーンロード (Green Road) ---------- no information

あの日の唄 (Around that Day) ---------- no information

リボルバー (Revolver) ---------- According to user Datenshi Kuriko (thanks!!) who gives me a lot of great information, this song was mistakenly associated with BUMP and they didn't actually sing it! Many places on the Internet say that it was, but it's most commonly believed that when the song first got uploaded online someone mislabeled it as a BUMP song. Oops! It's actually a song by Kururi. Other people think the mistaken association came about because Fujiwara's name is on the special thanks card in the CD. Or even possibly because Kururi and BUMP covered each other's songs songs at a live show and the audio got uploaded, making people think it was BUMP's original song. It's not clear what the answer is. These theories are discussed on a Japanese forum here: http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q145616009.

モーニングロウ (Mornin' Glow(?)) ---------- no information. I think this may have been a precursor so Morning Glow on the Ray album


Thanks to Datenshi Kuriko and to all of these sources where I got the information used above:
