Perfectly appropriate for a band whose career is something of a fairy tale itself. While the band mainly stuck to their upbeat guns, they began blending EDM into their alt-rock on 2016's Butterflies three of the album’s tracks eventually embellished popular anime series. Bump of Chicken could do no wrong the following decade, and 2010's Cosmonaut became the first of four chart-topping albums in a row. Children or a set of hard rock standards: the band is pretty close to Bump of Chicken. The band bolstered their appeal by placing their songs in movies and video games and on TV, including the moody "Namida no Furusato (Birthplace of Your Tears),” which soundtracked a striking anime candy commercial. Bump of Chicken: Shichi Banba: 13: 2009 'Order Made' Radwimps: Yuichi Kodama: 14: 2010 'Oshakashama' Yasunori Kakegawa, Tetsuya Nagato 15: 2011 'Manifest' () Jika 16: 2012 'Maximum the Hormone' Maximum the Hormone: Yasuhiko Shimizu: 17: 2013 'The Beginning' One Ok Rock: Maxilla: 18: 2014 'Niji o Matsu Hito' (. Radwimps have charted in the Top Three with Altocolony No Teiri, but the album, while far being far a revelation, isnt limited to an umpteenth rehash of Mr. Inspired as much by Hüsker Dü as U2, frontman Motoo Fujiwara's pop-punk underdog anthems and sensitive ballads have galvanized fans ever since, helped by band members Hiroaki Masukawa (guitar), Yoshifumi Naoi (bass), and Hideo Masu (drums), not to mention an intriguing name that roughly signifies "revenge of the weak guy." In Bump of Chicken’s music, just getting through the day qualifies as heroism, an existential state mythologized in 2004's acoustic-tinged, fantasy-oriented Yggdrasil.
Bump enjoyed their first hit in 2001 with the four-on-the-floor rush of "Tentai Kansoku (Star Gazing),” from the group's chart-topping major-studio debut, Jupiter. Since their first performance at a ninth-grade festival in 1994, Japanese indie-rock stars Bump of Chicken have regularly crested their home country’s charts with a fierce communal urgency rooted in a four-way friendship that extends back to preschool.
