COSMONAUT

The other day, BUMP OF CHICKEN released a new album, COSMONAUT. In this album, there are a lot of honest feelings of the vocalist, Motoo Fujiwara. He put his love for his precious people, his memory and his message for us into this album. Every songs in this album are made from only his experiences and feelings. But we who listen to this album feel like these songs were written for us. These words fit with our feelings, distress and greatfulness to our precious people. Of course, all of them are different, but these songs fit with our delicate feelings perfectly. That point is one of the reasons why BUMP OF CHICKEN is loved by so many people in the world for a long time.
And when I listen to this album with reading its lyrics sheet, I feel like reading a story. In the lyrics sheet, there is an astronaut. The pictures in this lyrics sheet are sight of an astronaut. And an astronaut finds some things and landscapes, and experiences various things on earth. It makes also us feeling strong affinities with these songs. But these pictures have some misteries, I think. Trying to solve them is one of the enjoyment. I enjoy listening to this album and seeing the lyrics sheet so much! So, already this album became one of my favorite CDs!
