aaah my old love Fujiwara Motoo from Bump of Chicken turns 30 today! (<- Jun likes them and has played many of their songs on Junstyle <3)
hope you have a great day and great year, my favorite "my pace" artist/poet/songster/composer/gamer/dorky nekoback sennin <33
and... although I love your relaxed and "my pace" manner... please.. please please please release an album soon~!
It's funny I go from one fandom where the band (bump of chicken) releases an album/new single every 2.5 or 3 years... to a fandom where the band (arashi) releases gazillions of singles/movies/doramas/shows in just 3 months.. actually, I'm still very much in the bump of chicken fandom, it's just that they've been very VERY quiet ;o;
Anyway, Fujikun,
I hope we get to listen to a new album from you all this year; all the
band members will be turning 30, a milestone! please, an album! or at least a new single!
edit:
some
art musing, although I've been drawing/painting arashi (in particular
Nino chan) for the past two years, I'm still not as skillful in
capturing Nino from imagination as capturing Fujikun (Fujiwara Motoo).
I sketched/painted Fujikun obsessively for 4+ years so much so that
he's become "my character".. xD although I haven't been sketching
Fujikun the past two years (as Nino and arashi took over), he still
seems to flow onto the paper effortlessly. aah I love my Fujikun. my bumpofchicken gallery.
EDIT: shaded more onto the sketch ^^
Also created a bump of chicken group xD join if you're interested!
Happy 29th Birthday, my old love <3
Have a wonderful year, Fujiwara-san!
PS: I love your latest album, and I miss seeing you play live; and of course the whole of bump of chicken
.
Those were great old days.
I still love them though and listen to their songs at least once every few days (his voice has got such uplifting yet calming and soothing effect it's amazing. Troubles seem to dissolve away and disappear when listening to Fujikun sings), alas Arashi's been taken most of my scarce free time!
But I'm kinda thankful that it usually takes them years to release an album (but they're SO WORTH the wait and their albums are classics and long lasting) so you don't have to feel bad not able catch up with them or worry about $ lol.
They don't have their own tv show (they have a radio show though =)), seldom appear on (indies rock) magazines unless it's around the time of their new releases (usually once in a blue moon xDD).
They play live every year during various rock festivals in the summer so seeing them is quite achievable ^^ and have their own live concerts (usually at smaller live houses, the biggest ones they've done were at Makuhari)
(and I'm sorry I've been deserting my old boc site... also researched and translated their bio if you don't know who they are...)
But wow talk about full circle..... I didn't know Jun-kun likes BUMP OF CHICKEN too!
Thanks to kikinini's messages I've been listening to Junstyle recently for the past few weeks...
'cause darling Jun-kun hasbeen playing BUMP OF CHICKEN songs!
And he even went to BUMP OF CHICKEN's live..!! *o*
So now I can proudly say that I share at least one common point with Jun-kun:
We're both big fans of BUMP OF CHICKEN and have been to their live concerts xDD
They play the BEST LIVE yo!!
Btw we shouldn't compare them with Arashi concerts as they're different genre... for starter, instead of holding uchiwas and waving penlights, BUMP fans pump their fists into the air (showing our BUMP OF CHICKEN wristbands xD).. and we also jump up and down during high tension songs and
I love both the atmosphere of Arashi concerts and BUMP OF CHICKEN concerts equally ^^
Hey Jun-kun, I can tell you the address of BUMP OF CHICKEN's bassist (chama)'s family run izakaya yo!
I'm sure they will be delighted to hear that you're a fan too!
More later, I need to research on tracey's SHO FEST.. I thought I was late so I fell asleep.. but I'm definitely late now hahahhah.
Anyway sorry for sp aming with the BUMP OF CHICKEN drawings/paintings here, I wanted to organize them into one post. They're only 30% of what I drawn/painted of them over the years :D
In any case, check out BUMP OF CHICKEN if you get a chance; they're the most down-to-earth, atsui and heart warming band ever! (no wonder Jun-kun likes them <3)
PS: Hopefully I'll get to dig out some youtube links.. else, just go search for the keyword 'bump of chicken' =)
And if I have time (Bwahahahah xD) I'll write a more coherent entry and introduction and info about BUMP OF CHICKEN =) until then, just go listen to Jun-kun fanboying BUMP OF CHICKEN at Junstyle <3
PS2: OH! Nino has also played BUMP OF CHICKEN on Baystorm too heheheh! Love you guys!
PS3: Will reply previous comments later! Catch you later! Take care <3
