In Bump of Chicken’s music, just getting through the day qualifies as heroism, an existential state mythologised in 2004's acoustic-tinged, fantasy-oriented Yggdrasil. Inspired as much by Hüsker Dü as U2, frontman Motoo Fujiwara's pop-punk underdog anthems and sensitive ballads have galvanised 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'. 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. *All other trademarks or registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.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. “aoppella!?” is KLab’s latest original multimedia music project built on the themes of “youth” and “a cappella”!
