Bump of Chicken Comeback October

Now Bump of Chicken has announced the next single "Uchu Hikoshi e no Tegami / Motor cycle" which is scheduled for release on October 13th.

The song "Uchu Hikoshi e no Tegami" is an emotional track with the fleeting beautiful and fantastic reality of Fujiwara Motoo's world of lyrics. "Motor cycle" on the other hand, describes the many emotion of the average day, life and death, moral and more...making it an outstanding, cut edge radical and cynical topic.
